Design With Microclimate: The Secret to Comfortable Outdoor Space

Robert D. Brown

 

In Design with Microclimate, Robert Brown shows that a "thermally comfortable microclimate" can be the foundation of well-designed and well-used outdoor places. He describes the effects that climate has on outdoor spaces and provides useful guidelines that lead designers clearly through the complexities of climate data, precedents, site assessment, microclimate modification, communication, design, and evaluation. This book is a vital resource for students and practitioners in landscape architecture, architecture, planning, and urban design.
