Synopsis

Courtyard Climate Control explores how hacienda courtyards historically functioned as natural cooling systems. By analyzing colonial records and architectural plans, the book reveals the principles behind passive cooling and microclimate regulation in these spaces. Readers will discover how the strategic use of materials, orientation, vegetation, and water features in courtyard design contributed to temperature moderation.

 
The book progresses from an introduction to passive cooling and hacienda architecture to specific elements of courtyard design. It uses climate data and historical documents to support its analysis. The book uniquely bridges environmental and architectural history, offering a practical, historically informed approach to creating energy-efficient buildings.

 
Ultimately, Courtyard Climate Control argues that understanding vernacular architecture, like that of colonial haciendas, provides valuable insights for sustainable design today. It demonstrates how these time-tested strategies can be adapted for contemporary projects, offering architects and landscape designers a resource for creating more comfortable and environmentally friendly spaces.

    Pertinax - The Son of a Slave...

    The son of a former slave, Pertinax was the Roman Emperor who proved that no matter how lowly your birth, you could rise to the very top through hard work, grit and determination. 
     
     
     
    Born in AD 126, Pertinax made a late career change from working as a grammar teacher to a position in the army. As he moved up the ranks and further along the aristocratic cursus honorum, he took on many of the most important postings in the Empire, from senior military roles in fractious Britain, the Marcomannic Wars on the Danube, to the Parthian Wars in the east. He held governorships in key provinces, and later consulships in Rome itself. When Emperor Commodus was assassinated, the Praetorian Guard alighted on Pertinax to become the new Emperor, expecting a pliable puppet. But Pertinax was nothing of the sort and when he then attempted to reform the Guard, he was assassinated. His death triggered the beginning of the "Year of the Five Emperors" from which Septimius Severus, Pertinax's former mentoree, became the ultimate victor. 
     
     
     
    This previously untold story brings a fascinating and important figure out of the shadows. A self-made everyman, a man of principle and ambition, a role model respected by his contemporaries, Pertinax's remarkable story offers a unique and panoramic insight into the late 2nd century AD Principate Empire.

    Mithras - The Fictional God Who...

    Mithraism was a Roman mystery religion centered around the god Mithras, also referred to as the Mithraic mysteries. While the Roman version of Mithras was inspired by the Iranian worship of the Zoroastrian god Mithra, the iconography and practices associated with Roman Mithras diverged significantly from their Persian counterparts. The degree of continuity between Persian and Greco-Roman rituals is a subject of ongoing debate among scholars. Mithraism flourished from the 1st to the 4th century CE, particularly among the soldiers of the Roman Empire. 
    The worship of Mithras involved a complex system of initiation, with seven distinct levels that initiates progressed through. This initiation process was accompanied by ceremonial feasts, and those who joined the religion were called *syndexioi*, meaning "joined by the handshake." These initiates gathered in vast numbers within underground shrines known as *mithraea*. The religion likely originated in Rome, but its influence spread throughout the western Roman Empire, reaching as far as Roman Africa, Numidia, and Roman Britain. Mithraism also had a lesser presence in Roman Syria in the east, though it was never as widespread in that region. 
    In the early centuries of the Roman Empire, Mithraism and early Christianity were seen as competing religious systems, with Christians later persecuting Mithraists during the 4th century. Over time, Mithraism was gradually repressed and eventually eradicated from the Roman Empire by the end of the 4th century.
