Allan Konya: Design primer for hot climates.
A book written to encourage design solutions that are in harmony with local climates and conditions: a matter of economic as well as aesthetic. The initial chapters explain the fundementals of climate and comfort. Subsequent sections set out environmental design techinques: methods of dealing with hazards such as earthquakes, lightning and termites: and guidance on the use of locally available materials and technology. The emphasis throughout is on illustrated and practical advice, with many drawn examples of building form and construction, and list of suitable plant species.
