Download or read book Daylight Design of Buildings written by Nick Baker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning for Daylight and Sunlight in Buildings As civilization advances we are becoming more and more a nocturnal nation dependent upon artificial light, but this is all the more reason why it becomes increasingly necessary to take the fullest advantage of the benefits to be derived from the use of daylight and sunlight. In planning for the lighting of buildings our first thought is naturally to provide for illumination that will permit of good vision. But there are other considerations of fundamental and vital importance from a hygienic and pathogenic aspect. Dr. S. A. Knopf, professor at the New York post-graduate Medical School and Hospital, in a recent statement submitted to the Heights of Buildings Commission,1 New York City, laid great stress on the importance of securing adequate daylight and sun light in buildings to prevent the spread of tuberculosis; he states: Tuberculosis, which is propagated by bad air, foul air and lack of sunlight causes annually a loss of citizens to the United States. This disease could be largely prevented would we live and work in pure air, in air relatively free from mineral and vegetable dust, and last, but not least, would we construct the buildings in which we live and labor so as to allow sunlight to enter more freely. At a recent meeting of the Municipal Art Society a prominent speaker said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
