Description
Urban Microclimate bridges the gap between climatology research and applied urban design. It provides architects and urban design professionals with an understanding of how the structure of the built environment at all scale affects microclimatic conditions in the space between buildings, and analyses the interaction between microclimate and each of the elements of the urban landscape. The extensive body of work on this subject by climatologists and geographers is presented in the language of architecture and planning professionals in the first part of the book. Each step in the design process is then examined, followed by a critical analysis of selected case study projects, providing a demonstration of the complexity of applied urban design. Practitioners will find this book a useful guide for consultation as they address these key environmental issues in their own work.
