Synopsis Naturally Animated Architecture: Using The Movements Of The Sun, Wind, And Rain To Bring Indoor Spaces And Sustainable Practices To Life by : Kevin Nute

This video-augmented book explains how the natural movements of the sun, wind and rain can be used to improve the well-being of people in buildings and raise awareness of sustainable living practices. In demonstrating how buildings can be designed to reconcile their traditional role as shelter from the elements with the active inclusion of their movement, the book shows how, in the process of separating us from the extremes of the natural world, architecture can also be a means of reconnecting us with nature.Related Link(s)

Synopsis Visual Delight in Architecture by : Lisa Heschong

Visual Delight in Architecture examines the many ways that our lives are enriched by the presence of natural daylight and window views within our buildings. It makes a compelling case that daily exposure to the rhythms of daylight is essential to our health and well-being, tied to the very genetic foundations of our physiology and cognitive function. It describes all the subtlety, beauty, and pleasures of well-daylit spaces and attractive window views, and explains how these are woven into the fabric of both our everyday sensory experience and enduring cultural perspectives. All types of environmental designers, along with anyone interested in human health and well- being, will fi nd new insights offered by Visual Delight in Architecture. The book is both accessible and provocative, full of personal stories and persuasive research, helping designers to gain a deeper understanding of the scientific basis of their designs, scientists to better grasp the real-world implications of their work, and everyone to more fully appreciate the role of windows in their lives.

Synopsis This Here Now: Japanese Building And The Architecture Of The Individual by : Kevin Nute

This Here Now explains how traditional Japanese buildings respond to distinctive materials, objects and moments, and argues that the built acknowledgment of such events can help to affirm the individuality of our own being. The book also shows how buildings can help us to overcome our separateness by enabling us to share the normally subjective experiences of this, here and now.

Synopsis Embodied Time by : Kevin Nute

The word time occurs more than seven times as often as space in written English, yet in the design of the indoor environments where we now spend most of our lives these priorities are typically reversed, with time often being little more than an afterthought. Embodied Time endeavors to correct that imbalance by demonstrating how built environments can be designed to evoke positive recollections of the past, interactions with the present, and anticipations of the future.

Synopsis The Constructed Other: Japanese Architecture in the Western Mind by : Kevin Nute

The Constructed Other argues that the assumed otherness of Japanese architecture has made it both a testbed for Western architectural theories and a source of inspiration for Western designers. The book traces three recurring themes in Western accounts of Japanese architecture from the reopening of Japan in the mid-nineteenth century to the present day: a wish to see Western architectural theories reflected in Japanese buildings; efforts to integrate elements of Japanese architecture into Western buildings; and a desire to connect contemporary Japanese architecture with Japanese tradition. It is suggested that, together, these narratives have had the effect of creating what amounts to a mythical version of Japanese architecture, often at odds with historical fact, but which has exercised a powerful influence on the development of building design internationally.
