Daylighting : natural light in architecture
"Daylighting offers a general theory and introduction into the use of natural light in architecture. In the fourth of his lighting books, Derek Phillips draws on his experience to illustrate how best to bring natural light into building design. As sustainability becomes a core principal for designers, daylighting comes to the fore as an alternative to artificial, energy consuming light. Derek Phillips contends that daylight should be considered first, arguing in favour of a daylight approach. He goes on to show through a series of beautifully illustrated case studies how architects have created buildings in which natural light plays a major strategic role in the development of the design of a building."--Jacket
