International in conception, arrogant in scale, unsentimental in finish, rigorous in detail -- Erno Goldfinger's buildings well represent the architectural ideals of his generation, sustaining and fulfilling the promise of the pioneering decades of the modern movement. This publication documents Goldfinger's life and work, combining essays with a presentation of selected buildings and projects.

This is the first of two volumes which demonstrate how available sunshine can be used as part of site planning and architectural design to reduce fuel consumption for heating and to enhance the environment. The topics covered in this volume include: site layout; building form; internal planning; the design of windows and opaque elements; ventilation; heating systems and controls; and conservatories. It provides guidelines for architects, students of architecture, developers and others involved in the design, production or rehabilitation of housing.

The Smithsons have long been sensitive to the manner in which the detailing of a building can be informed by the circumstances and nuances of place, of which the weather is a universal 'given'. This publication interprets their work through the filter of the 'climate register', using the example of four projects: the Economist Building; Second Arts Building, Bath; the unbuilt Kuwait Mat-Building; and the Alexandrina Library competition entry. The result of research by the AA's Diploma Unit 6, Climate Register is in a sense a mediated conversation between students and the Smithsons -- between two generations of architects.
