📘 The architecture of the well-tempered environment by Reyner Banham

Reyner Banham’s pioneering work argues that technology, human needs and environmental concerns must form an integral part of architectural design. The revised edition adds extensive new material on energy use, especially solar power, and its influence on both mind and form. Discussions extend to high‑tech buildings such as the Centre Pompidou and to the environmental wisdom embodied in vernacular structures, including Indian pueblos. The book remains a systematic exploration of how environmental engineering reshapes architecture and the thinking of architects.
