Sinopse

Pueblo Architecture Secrets reveals the sustainable and climate-resilient design principles embedded in the adobe architecture of the Pueblo people in the Southwestern United States. This architectural design offers valuable lessons for contemporary building practices.

 
One intriguing aspect is how the thermal mass of adobe naturally regulates indoor temperatures, keeping homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter, reducing the need for energy-intensive heating and cooling systems. The book also explores the ingenious methods used to manage water and prevent erosion in arid climates, showcasing the deep understanding of environmental design.

 
The book delves into the properties of adobe, detailing wall construction, roof systems, and passive solar strategies, demonstrating how they contribute to a dwelling's overall performance. It presents architectural surveys, engineering analyses, environmental data, and ethnographic research.

 
By integrating engineering principles with cultural context, Pueblo Architecture Secrets provides a holistic perspective, making it a valuable resource for architects, engineers, and anyone interested in sustainable building and indigenous architectural traditions.

    At the very centre of the life of one of the twentieth-century's greatest artists was the most unexpected of life-long influences. The aptly named Jessie Lightfoot shielded the young Francis Bacon from the brutish violence of his bullying father, as well as from his worst self-immolating excesses later in life. The tenderness, wit and warmth of this inimitable Nanny stands in illuminating relief to the sulphurous palette that defined Bacon's work.
    Beyond the humour and heart of this extraordinary woman – who finds herself confronted with the shade and guile of the artworld – Maylis Besserie also gives us a glimpse of Ireland in the first half of the twentieth century, both a powder keg and a place apart from the rest of the world, whose landscapes, imagery and animals haunted the famous painter's canvases.
    In the final of Maylis Besserie's Irish-French trilogy, her preoccupation with the art and lives of artists who crossed borders between France and Ireland has a fitting climax as Bacon confronts the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
    
    
    'In a virtuoso feat of literary ventriloquism, Maylis Besserie follows the advice of the Greek poet Cavafy to approach the world from unique and strange angles. Through the eyes of Bacon's nanny and close companion, she gives us brilliant insights into the conflicting personal, sexual, and artistic impulses that shaped a remarkable artist, rendered in the steadfast voice of someone who understood and loved the complex man behind the art. It marks a wonderful conclusion to a remarkable Irish trilogy.' Dermot Bolger
