Lines\n drawn on paper to represent architectural intentions also imply decades\n and sometimes centuries of associated energy and material flows. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForm Follows Energy\u003c\/em\u003e\n is about the relationship between energy and the form of our built \nenvironment. It examines the optimisation of energy flows in building \nand urban design and the implications for form and configuration. It \nspeaks to both architectural and engineering audiences and offers for \nthe first time a truly interdisciplinary overview on the subject, \nexplaining the complex relationships between energy and architecture in \nan easy to follow manner and using simple diagrams to show how energy \ndesign strategies can be used to maximize the energy performance of our \nbuilt environment, while at the same time leading to new aesthetic \nqualities and radically new forms in architecture and urban design. Case\n studies are used to illustrate the theory. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe books philosophy\n is based on the guiding principles underlying nearly 30 years work in \npractice, research and teaching. It is relatively easy to make something\n simple seem complicated. To make a complex topic seem simple and easily\n understandable is far more of a challenge and this is the aim of this \nbook. 　 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \n        \u003cdiv class=\"dgb-accordion-text\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterdisciplinary illustration of the relationship between energy and architecture \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies using practical examples by internationally renowned architects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-drawn diagrams facilitate understanding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brian Cody","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48279066968315,"sku":"9783035614053","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783035614053.jpg?v=1772488364","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/form-follows-energy-9783035614053","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
