Climatic Effects: Architecture, Media, and the Great Acceleration
Daniel A. Barber
From the 1930s to the 1960s – just as HVAC was also developing – numerous architects explored design methods to manage seasonal climatic changes or to provide comfortable living and working conditions in extreme locales. Climatic Effects explores the images produced by these design strategies. Meteorologists, economists, biologists, physiologists, insurance agents, and many others developed climate knowledge in relation to architectural images. What emerges is a media-architecture history of the Great Acceleration.
