Thermal Delight in Architecture Heschong LisaPaperback
Our thermal environment is as rich in cultural associations as our visual, acoustic, olfactory, and tactile environments. It has not responded to the various ways that people use, remember, and care about the thermal environment and how they associate their thermal sense with their other senses. This book explores the potential for using thermal qualities as an expressive element in building design.Until quite recently, building technology and design has favored high-energy-consuming mechanical methods of neutralizing the thermal environment.
Not only is thermal symbolism now obsolete but the modern emphasis on central heating systems and The hearth fire, the sauna, the Roman and Japanese baths, and the Islamic garden are discussed as archetypes of thermal delight about which rituals have developed--reinforcing bonds of affection and ceremony forged in the thermal experience.
