Sinopse

Adobe Cooling Walls explores the potential of ancient adobe construction techniques to address modern cooling challenges, focusing on sustainable building practices. The book highlights adobe's inherent thermal properties, particularly its ability to act as thermal mass, absorbing and releasing heat to regulate indoor temperatures.

 
Readers may be surprised to learn that strategically designed adobe walls can significantly reduce reliance on energy-intensive air conditioning, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. The book presents a systematic analysis, starting with the historical and scientific context of adobe, including its prevalence in arid climates. It then delves into the practical applications of adobe's thermal mass, examining factors like wall thickness and orientation.

 
Case studies from around the globe showcase successful and unsuccessful implementations of adobe cooling, while modern adaptations demonstrate how adobe can be integrated with contemporary technologies. This interdisciplinary approach bridges traditional methods with modern science, making it a valuable resource for those interested in design and architecture.

    This book consists of two titles:Mughal Empire - The Mughal Empire, also referred to as the Mogul or Moghul Empire, was one of the most powerful and influential early modern Islamic empires in South Asia. Established in the 16th century, it controlled vast regions for over two centuries, encompassing territories from the peripheries of the Indus basin in the west, extending to northern Afghanistan, Kashmir in the north, present-day Bangladesh in the east, and stretching as far south as the Deccan Plateau's uplands.Taj Mahal - The Taj Mahal stands as a breathtaking testament to Indo-Islamic architecture, celebrated as one of the most exquisite examples of this style in the world. Its origins are steeped in the emotional backdrop of its commission, reflecting the rich culture and history of the Mughal Empire, which wielded power over vast regions of India during the 16th and 17th centuries. The monument was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631. Her passing left an indelible mark on the emperor, inspiring him to create a monument that would embody his love and devotion.

    A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.
    The culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.
    Illustrated with 65 stunning photographs, Architecture For Cars explores everything from the brutalist fashions of listed UK petrol stations to the quirky and colourful drive-thrus found across the US. If you're interested in the autobahn churches of Germany, why Ed Ruscha felt drawn to painting gas stations, or you just enjoy the aesthetics of car-centric architecture across the globe, this book is for you.
    Also included are essays on wider topics such as roadside signs, drive-in malls and retail parks, cars on film, and roads that never were. This latest architectural deep-dive from Christopher Beanland focuses mainly on the 20th century, with an additional optimistic look towards the future: hopefully an electric vehicle-led existence will herald a new, greener 'golden age' for cars.
