- W2947013703 abstract "The idea is developed that environmental control systems - lighting, heating, ventilation and acoustics - are elements of architectural meaning with strong links to the shape of buildings. The resulting architecture ofthe well-tempered environment is aesthetic and semantic as well as functional and technologicaL Lyrical and technical elements of well-tempered architecture are examined and the origin of environmentaltempering in Western culture is traced. The study begins with classicalGreek and Roman examples, continuing with folk traditions and thedevelopment of the science of architecture. In each instance, buildingtypes are described which illustrate the impact of environmental temperingtechniques and functions on the shape of architecture. Classical examplesinclude the Roman villa, bath and theatre. Later building types are prisons,hospitals, factories, theatres and galleries. Thus, a repertoire ofclimatically responsive forms is examined.The idiom is illustrated during the Modern era by the designs offour architects -- Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and LouisI. Kahn. Their works mark a zenith in the integration of architecturalform with environmental tempering.The final chapter surveys the architecture of environmentaltempering since the Modern Movement, including Regionalist, LateModernist,High-Tech and Post-Modernist examples. The conclusion proposesa definition of an architecture based on the art and science ofenvironmental tempering." @default.
