Designing Spaces for Natural Ventilation

Buildings can breathe naturally, without the use of mechanical systems, if you design the spaces properly. This accessible and thorough guide shows you how in more than 260 color diagrams and photographs illustrating case studies and CFD simulations. You can achieve truly natural ventilation, by considering the building's structure, envelope, energy use, and form, as well as giving the occupants thermal comfort and healthy indoor air. By using scientific and architectural visualization tools included here, you can develop ventilation strategies without an engineering background. Handy sections that summarize the science, explain rules of thumb, and detail the latest research in thermal and fluid dynamics will keep your designs sustainable, energy efficient, and up-to-date.
Public Space

This collection of essays addresses the important issue of public space in terms of its design, use and management and value as a social, economic and cultural resource, with special reference to Singapore. Multi-disciplinary in perspective, it represents the first concerted attempt by academics and practitioners involved in the physical design and planning of Singapore to closely analyse a much neglected aspect of the Singapore's rapid industrialisation and provide suggestions for the country's future development. The book should interest ecologists, sociologists, botanists, geographers, urban planners, engineers, architects and other building professionals as well as the general public.

The renowned Paris-based architect and interior designer debuts a monograph capturing her signature warm, elegantly modern aesthetic. Isabelle Stanislas’s interiors nod to historical sources while exuding a refreshing contemporary style. Known for her knack for subtly interweaving art, landscaping, architecture, and materials, she has been regularly called upon by private homeowners and luxury houses such as Cartier and Hermès since founding her firm in 2000. Most recently, the designer was tapped by the French president to breathe new life into the Élysée Palace—skyrocketing her prestige even further. From architecture and construction to interior design and bespoke furniture, this highly anticipated monograph explores the impressive breadth of Stanislas’s creative approach through twelve diverse properties. Defined by precision, minimalism, and a unique take on French style, the designer’s modus operandi emerges from the pages of this dazzling volume. Specially commissioned photographs take readers on a journey from Paris to London to Portugal. Complete with insightful texts that unpack each project and Stanislas’s artistic universe, this book is a must-have addition to the libraries of design masters and aficionados alike.
