MIT Press Thermal Delight in Architecture

Excelente livro para nos ajudar a nos livrarmos do mal do ar condicionado, nos projetos de arquitetura. Deve ser lido em conjunto com o livro Cool Comfort: America's Romance with Air-Conditioning.

Fast enough. Poke-sized book. Smaller and thinner than I expected, very handy.

This book creates a linguistic and imaginal bridge between the senses and the environment as defined by the thermal state in which beings find themselves. I delighted in the descriptive phrases and the addition of poetry to the text. Short and succinct and fun to read! And I learned so much.

This is a really valuable book. I specifically like the chapter about the circulation of people in a turkish bath and their thermal adventures through the spaces.

Every Architect or HVAC IAQ IEQ wizard should carry a copy of this thermal bible
