Solar Energy in Architecture and Urban Planning by Thomas Herzog

Solar Energy in Architecture and Urban Planning by Thomas Herzog

This publication brings together details of 60 recently completed and future building projects from across Europe that utilize the power of the sun. A wide range of high-quality projects was presented to the fourth European Conference on Solar Energy in Architecture and Urban Planning, at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin in March 1996. The aim of the conference and its accompanying exhibition of the selected 60 projects is to promote the design ideas employed in these buildings so that they may be used in future schemes, to the benefit of the planet. Furthermore, it is intended that these designs will generate additional innovative ideas, opening up new avenues, with the aim of achieving universal awareness in all future urban planning, from simple domestic apartments to schools, offices, cultural and public buildings. Following a brief text in English, German and Italian, each description includes illustrations of the project. The book finishes with a review of 20 new building products, all with wide applications, that have been specifically designed to conserve solar energy in buildings of the future.
