Extensively revised, this Second Edition offers architects and designers the most current thinking and practice in their profession on the scientific properties of light, the uses of natural and electric light in buildings, lighting effects and applications, and design tools and processes. To help the reader on the job, there is full coverage of lighting calculation methods, including the Lumen Method, as well as a number of useful CAD and computer rendering solutions.

Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting―and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun―presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century.
First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.
This updated edition contains four new essays that provide unique insights on issues of climate design, showing how Olgyay's concepts work in contemporary practice. Ken Yeang, John Reynolds, Victor W. Olgyay, and Donlyn Lyndon explore bioclimatic design, eco design, and rational regionalism, while paying homage to Olgyay’s impressive groundwork and contributions to the field of architecture.

Design with Climate: Bioclimatic Approach to Architectural Regionalism - New and expanded Edition

Arquitectura y clima se ha convertido en un libro clásico. Publicado por primera vez en la década de los años 50 en Estados Unidos, conserva toda su actualidad en cuestiones mediombientales, explorando las relaciones entre edificios y medio natural que lo envuelve, entre "arquitectura" y "lugar", entre "forma" y "clima", entre "urbanismo" y "regionalismo". Desarrollado en tres partes: clima y su relación con el ser humano; la interpretación de las acciones del clima en clave arquitectónica y a su aplicación en la arquitectura y el urbanismo, el libro desarrolla una completa teoría del diseño arquitectónico autoconsciente, apoyada sólidamente en lógicas justificaciones teóricas, utilizando métodos y conocimientos propios de otras disciplinas como la biología, meteorología o ingeniería.
