Review:
A remarkably clear and well-balanced presentation of building construction and environment principles, matched with well-chosen examples at more detailed levels and illustrated with a welcome and consistent graphic clarity. A comprehensive introductory text and reference primer emphasizing how multi-disciplinary design decisions emerge from a recognition of technical restraints and possibilities.
