Lighting the Landscape

Lighting the Landscape Review

Lighting design, long regarded as a pragmatic and purely technical aspect of construction planning, has increasingly developed into a discipline of its own over the past years. This publication recognises recent developments by combining the technical sphere with an artistic perspective, centred on the question of the role of natural and artificial light in the perception of a variety of (urban) landscapes. The first section of the book describes techniques for creating nocturnal landscapes, analysing these according to typology (coastal, riverside, lakeside, mountain, forest, marsh, or quarry and industrial sceneries) and concept of illumination. We embark on a process of learning to read (illuminated) landscapes. The second section presents detailed documentation of 21 international case-studies arranged according to type and drawn, for example, from Great Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan and Singapore.

How to Light a historic interior appropriately--or create a realistic period look--can be a perplexing problem. Few people want to return to the days when light came mainly from candles, kerosene, gas or available sunlight. But acceptable ways of re-creating old lighting do exist, and Lighting for Historic Buildings shows how to find them. This invaluable guide provides both a history of lighting in America and a catalog of 481 suitable reproductions available today. Noted historian Roger Moss shows how interiors from the 1620s to the 1930s can be well lighted yet still maintain their character. Reproductions are organized by lighting source (candles, burning fluids, kerosene, gas and electricity) and fixture type (chandeliers, wall brackets and hall lights). Also included are chapters on street lighting and specialty items, a glossary and a reading list.

Efficient Building Design Series, Volume 2: Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning

Efficient Building Design Series, Volume 2: Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Review

Helping building designers, developers, and constructors refine and improve their understanding of efficiency in building operation, this judicious, clear, and succinct book explains and details building heating and cooling requirements and ensuing utility costs, and proposes design opportunities and equipment choices that can produce comfortable, energy-efficient buildings. Quantifies building heat losses and gains, and describes heating-cooling operations. Integrates heating-cooling components with building structure and construction, providing specific building examples for heat/cool loads ; size air distribution components; HVAC options and HVAC zoning; annual heating/cooling costs. Evaluates energy conserving alternatives, and presents passive ("sustainable") design opportunities, such as solar control.
