Summary

Extreme Weather Buildings tackles the critical challenge of designing resilient and sustainable architecture in an era defined by increasingly severe weather. It addresses how buildings can be adapted to withstand extreme conditions, emphasizing the integration of meteorological data and advanced construction techniques. The book reveals that conventional building methods often fall short in regions prone to natural disasters, necessitating a shift towards innovative, climate-resilient designs. For instance, the book explores how buildings can be designed to withstand extreme heat, hurricanes, blizzards, and droughts.

 
The book progresses from an introduction of extreme weather climatology to specific design strategies tailored for different climate challenges. It examines building forms, material selection, and energy-efficient systems, concluding with a practical overview of advanced construction methods like modular construction and 3D printing.

 
By bridging the gap between earth sciences, geography, and architectural engineering, this book provides a framework for creating sustainable, climate-resilient communities and informs policy-making.
