Comfort and Perception in Architecture: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Comfort and Perception in Architecture" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
This book discusses the design of comfortable buildings and shows that design perception and, as a result, comfort should be an intentional feature of architectural design. Modern buildings are often sealed boxes without operable windows or daylighting design. However, contemporary designers increasingly find themselves faced with the task of creating spaces that are comfortable in terms of thermal and visual aspects.

Understanding the complex relationship between design and technology is increasingly critical to the field of Architecture. The Springer Briefs in Architectural Design and Technology series provides accessible and comprehensive guides for all aspects of current architectural design relating to advances in technology including material science, material technology, structure and form, environmental strategies, building performance and energy, computer simulation and modeling, digital fabrication, and advanced building processes. The series features leading international experts from academia and practice who provide in-depth knowledge on all aspects of integrating architectural design with technical and environmental building solutions towards the challenges of a better world. Provocative and inspirational, each volume in the Series aims to stimulate theoretical and creative advances and question the outcome of technical innovations as well as the far-reaching social, cultural, and environmental challenges that present themselves to architectural design today. Each brief asks why things are as they are, traces the latest trends and provides penetrating, insightful and in-depth views of current topics of architectural design. Springer Briefs in Architectural Design and Technology provides must-have, cutting-edge content that becomes an essential reference for academics, practitioners, and students of Architecture worldwide.

I acknowledge the work of many people that indirectly aided in the production of this publication. I thank Christoffer Rasmussen who produced the R package climateeng [1]. A modified version of climateeng was used to create the psychrometric charts used throughout Chap. were calculated using Radiance [3], EnergyPlus [4], and DIVA/ClimateStudio [5, 6]. I appreciate the efforts of everyone who has contributed to the development of those programs, specifically: Timur Dogan, Jeff Niemasz, Christoph Reinhart, Jon Sargent, and Greg Ward.

Designing comfortable buildings has been a goal of architects since the writings of Vitruvius and Alberti. In book 1 of De Re Aedificatoria, roughly: On the Art of Building, Leon Battista Alberti defines buildings as consisting of lineaments and matterdesign and nature. Buildings must be constructed with regards to the site, sun, and wind. Elements such as walls and roofs as well as openings have an imperative to protect against weather while also allowing for light and ventilation. In Albertis arguments from book 3 on construction, the building is seen as a metaphor for the body. Walls are bones with infill of muscles and skin. This intimately relates, at least metaphysically, the experience of the body to the design and construction of the building. Alberti felt that once buildings provide the environmental imperative, only then can they bestow pleasure upon those who inhabit and view them through both their functioning and their ornamentation.
Albertis views, seen in this light, hardly differ from the concerns of the contemporary designer of buildings. I intentionally resist the term architect, not because I reject the role of architecture, but because the distinction between architect and engineer blurs more as time passes. Sometimes one role subsumes the other, but both are designers of buildings. The architect, designer and engineer can today manifest, simultaneously, in the same body. This modern designer finds him or herself tasked with creating spaces which are thermally and visually comfortable, which provide pleasant ventilation, and which are acoustically agreeable. Sometimes this task is dominated by what we might call engineering for standard, sealed buildings without operable windows or daylighting controls; however, the thesis of this publication is that designers should intentionally conceive of the building and its thermal and visual perception together. The result of such a process is comfortable architecture. This first chapter aims to outline an argument for such a process through a series of examples where discomfort is present.
