This book has become a classic of passive solar architecture.
In a didactic style combining texts and explanatory drawings, David Wright analyses all aspects of building design, in connection with the analysis of sites, the choice of materials, orientation, types of opening and ventilation, etc.
Based on knowledge of natural phenomena, this book remains intangibly relevant. Its passive solar inventory fills the gaps in information that neglects knowledge of phenomena in favor of techniques. It clarifies concepts related to natural parameters and the principles that underlie natural architecture.
“Things are changing. Today's dreams and visions may be tomorrow's reality. We may make simpler use of modern technologies. Architecture and climate control systems will have to change, just as our ideas about energy use evolve. The possibilities for harnessing natural passive energies to power our living environment are immense.” David Wright.
