The Performance of Architecture
Franziska Wittmann
ETH Zurich, Chair of Gion A. Caminada (Editor)
The efforts of the Chair of Gion A. Caminada to address the energy problem in architecture in a fundamental way are impressively compiled in this publication. Sorted into 12 themes, the elementary principles of creating space - form, geometry, material and construction - and their physical effects are studied and documented using prominent examples in architectural history and a number of buildings by Gion A. Caminada. The practical book describes countless physical construction phenomena and rules in a simple and clear way.
