Further extending Hill's investigation of authorship, this book recognises the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user. Although acknowledging the influence of the client, contractor and engineer, the relations between the designer, user and weather are the focus of this book. Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architecture's relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weather's effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change., Further extending Hill�s investigation of authorship, this book recognises the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user.

At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that affects design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user.

Development of African Capital Markets "explores why these markets have remained underdeveloped and discusses a possible development theory that can be used in designing and implementing legal and institutional reforms to reinvigorate capital markets in African and other developing countries.The author considers the culture and society of the area, discussing the ethnic and religious groups among those who live there, the major issues the residents face, and other interesting cultural facts.He believed in culture, comfort, intimacy and privacy and advocated the evolution of artful architecture.This volume argues that the types of structures and settlements built by people who do not have access to architectural services in many cities in the developing parts of the world evolved simultaneously with the types of buildings that are celebrated in architecture textbooks as 'modernism.' It not only shows how architects can learn from traditional or vernacular dwellings in order to create habitations for the people of low-income groups in public housing scenarios, but also demonstrates how the architecture of the economically underprivileged classes goes beyond culturally-inspired tectonic interpretations of vernacular traditions by architects for high profile clients.Each chapter contains a summary, list of key terms and concepts, review questions and references.AP Operations and Maintenance (O+M) Exam., Pass the LEED® AP ID+C EXAM WIth These Proven Strategies Here is the ideal study guide for understanding and preparing for the LEED® AP ID+C exam.He urges us to stop blaming the success of the 1 percent for slow wage growth and embrace the upside of inequality: faster growth and greater prosperity for everyone.", The scourge of America's economy isn't the success of the 1 percent--quite the opposite.As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life.Gloria Steinem had an itinerant childhood.Victorian Turkish Baths will appeal to those interested in Victorian social history, architecture, social attitudes to leisure, early public health campaigns, pressure groups, gendered spaces and much else besides.Conard argues that high payoffs for success motivate talent to get the training and take the risks that gradually loosen the constraints to growth.A key feature of this volume is the presentation of the theoretical models, and the discussion of their implications in the context of real-world applications.This text is uniquely designed for current and future business leaders who are, or will be, engaged in the global economy.Armed with an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings driving goods, capital and ideas across national boundaries, readers will learn to anticipate the effects of trade and macroeconomic policy changes, and will have the tools to make sound, informed decisions for themselves and their global organizations.", This volume focuses on international trade and global macroeconomic policy - two topics often overlooked by conventional MBA and Executive MBA programs.
