This book explores the close relationship between architecture and engineering. It addresses the ways in which architects and engineers collaborate in the design of ever more sophisticated systems of internal environmental control in buildings, while keeping in mind considerations of energy efficiency, climate and local culture. A historical introduction reviews the environmental strand of architectural theory and practice, establishing the background for 20 critical studies of contemporary buildings.
