Ephemeral phenomena like fire, precipitation, shade, and wind have emerged as important contemporary protagonists for environmental design due to their dynamic impact on buildings and cities. The importance of including these forces in architecture has gained rapid momentum in the global quest for sustainability. This book investigates the history, theory and applications of climatic design in the built environment examining architecture and landscapes from various time periods. Based on a collaboration between the University of Sydney and the National University of Singapore, the book brings together contributing authors from Australia, Singapore, and the United States. "Dry", "Wet", "Cool" and "Hot" divide the book into categories through which a wide array of representational topics are covered ―from dust storms and clouds, to ice and bushfires. A concluding section presents project examples for exploratory application in the design of architecture.

Het boek 'Designing Lightness. Structures for Saving Energy' roept op tot het ontwerpen van ultralichte structuren waarmee grote hoeveelheden energie kunnen worden bespaard en komt met praktische tips om daar daadwerkelijk een begin mee te maken. Aan de hand van vermakelijke vrije associaties worden er onverwachte verbanden gelegd tussen de wereld van de composietmaterialen en structurele oplossingen. Designing Lightness is daarom urgenter dan de conventionele benadering van duurzaamheid, die zich immers richt op de symptomen in plaats van op de oorzaken van de overschrijding van de grenzen van natuur en milieu. Het boek is van belang voor alle ontwerpdisciplines en bespreekt zowel verpakkingen als voertuigen, wolkenkrabbers en verschijnselen op de nanoschaal. This book is an appeal to start designing minimum weight applications to seriously save energy. It also offers practical advice for doing so. 'Designing Lightness' entertains the reader with its free associations, creating unexpected crosslinks between the world of composite materials and structural solutions. It therefore precedes the conventional approach to sustainability, which focuses on symptoms rather than causes of environmental overload. The book is of interest to all designing disciplines, combining packaging, vehicles, skyscrapers and nanoscale phenomena. Adriaan Beukers is an emeritus professor in Lightweight Structures. Ed van Hinte is a writer and award-winning critic with a design and engineering background. The book is the extended and improved sequel to their book Lightness, which appeared in 1998.

Pourquoi notre nature homéotherme a donné naissance à l'architecture ? Comment le blé a engendré la ville ? Comment les petits pois ont fait s'élever les cathédrales gothiques ? Ce que les dômes doivent à la peur de l'air stagnant ? Comment un brin de menthe invente les parcs urbains ? Pourquoi l'éruption d'un volcan a-t-elle inventé la ville moderne ? Comment le pétrole a-t-il fait pousser des villes dans le désert ? ... Comment le Co2 est-il en train de transformer les villes et les bâtiments ? L'Histoire naturelle de l'architecture met en lumière les causes naturelles, physiques, biologiques ou climatiques qui ont influencé le déroulé de l'histoire architecturale et provoqué le surgissement de ses figures, de la préhistoire à nos jours. Induite par un contexte d'accès massif et facile à l'énergie, celle du charbon puis du pétrole, et par les progrès de la médecine (avec l'invention des vaccins et des antibiotiques), l'historiographie politique, sociale et culturelle a, au XXe siècle, largement ignoré les faits physiques, géographiques, climatiques et bactériologiques qui ont façonné de façon décisive, à travers les siècles, les formes architecturales et urbaines. Relire l'histoire de l'architecture à partir de ces données objectives, matérielles, réelles permet d'affronter les défis environnementaux majeurs de notre siècle et de mieux construire, aujourd'hui, face à l'urgence climatique.
