Author: Sascha RoeslerThis book rethinks climate control – a key concern of the discipline of architecture – through the lens of city climate phenomena over the course of the 20th century. Based on a history of climate control on urban scales, it promotes the integration of indoors and outdoors in order to reduce environmental and thermal loads in cities. The first part focuses on the inter-war period in Europe, and the second part considers examples from all over the globe.ISBN 9783035624144.
