The spotlight is on the Arctic region. Crumbling glaciers, thawing permafrost and the vanishing sea ice cover are phenomena frequently discussed in the media. They are clear signs of the intense warming of the Arctic ecosystem. The dramatic decline in sea ice has consequences not only for the microorganisms, plants, animals and peoples that live there, but also for the climate at the middle latitudes. Inspired by their years of scientific research and experience in the field, the authors present unique photographic material and discuss the processes and the impact of climate warming in the polar region. The Polar Bear is the symbol par excellence of the unique sea ice ecosystem. The authors explore the life, past and future of this top predator. Can this super specialist still adapt? Is its survival threatened or not? This book provides the necessary tools to put media reports about the Arctic, climate change, sea ice and the Polar Bear into context.

In this book we seek to approach the architecture-energy combination and its relationship to human comfort and the environment .There are chapters on thermal comfort, low energy architecture dealing with various criterion for comfort in different parts of the World. The book also seeks to understand how previous generations lived in harsh climates and without abundant sources of energy, yet managed to design and build appropriate dwellings providing both comfort and harmony with the environment. Other chapters deal with the bioclimatic concept in Vernacular Architecture; the major rol

Architects today incorporate principles of sustainable design as a matter of necessity. But the challenge of unifying climate control and building functionality, of securing a managed environment within a natural setting-and combating the harsh forces of wind, water, and sun-presented a new set of obstacles to architects and engineers in the mid-twentieth century.First published in 1963, Design with Climate was one of the most pioneering books in the field and remains an important reference for practitioners, teachers, and students, over fifty years later. In this book, Victor Olgyay explores the impact of climate on shelter design, identifying four distinct climatic regions and explaining the effect of each on orientation, air movement, site, and materials. He derives principles from biology, engineering, meteorology, and physics, and demonstrates how an analytical approach to climate management can merge into a harmonious and aesthetically sound design concept.This updated edition contains four new essays that provide unique insights on issues of climate design, showing how Olgyay's concepts work in contemporary practice. Ken Yeang, John Reynolds, Victor W. Olgyay, and Donlyn Lyndon explore bioclimatic design, eco design, and rational regionalism, while paying homage to Olgyay's impressive groundwork and contributions to the field of architecture.

Durch das Aufeinandertreffen von Gesundheits- und Klimakrise ist ein Rückgriff auf bislang bewährte Forschungsansätze im Bereich des Wohnens nicht mehr zielführend. Wie prägen die geografischen und politischen Entwicklungen das heutige Wohnen?Lifelines ist eine Gemeinschaftsforschungsarbeit zu Räumen, in denen sich Lebensformen vermischen, durchdringen und verflechten – und zwar in ständigem Widerstand gegen die Mechanismen einer techno-kapitalistischen Gegenwart, die soziale und ökologische Unsicherheiten nicht nur abbilden, sondern auch erzeugen und nutzen. Die Autor*innen beleuchten die Herausforderungen, die sich dem heutigen Entwerfen stellen, und untersuchen die Rolle, die dem Entwerfen in prekären Räumen zukommt. Das Buch versammelt empirische Untersuchungen aus Italien, Ecuador, den USA, dem Libanon, Deutschland und Großbritannien. In the face of the radical convergence of a health crisis and an ecological crisis, it is not possible to return to the investigative trajectories on inhabitation and dwelling that yielded good results in the past. What is it that now defines inhabitation within the plurality of conditions, geographies, and politics that connote it? Lifelines is a work of collective research on the spaces where life intertwines, mingles, and twists in constant resistance to the mechanisms that capture, exploit, and create the social and environmental precariousness that characterizes the violent techno-capitalist present.The book investigates the roles and challenges of design in uncertain spaces and brings together empirical explorations from Italy, Ecuador, the US, Lebanon, Germany, and the UK.
