In this practical, informative book, Robert Brown uses vivid illustrations and examples and provides practical tools that can be used in everyday design practice. The heart of the book is Brown's own design process, as he includes useful guidelines to lead designers clearly through the complexity of climate data, precedents, site assessment, microclimate modification, communication, design, and evaluation. Brown strikes an ideal balance of technical information, anecdotes, examples, and illustrations to keep the book engaging and accessible. His emphasis throughout is on creating microclimates that attend to the comfort, health, and well-being of people, animals, and plants.Landscape architectureClimatic factorsMicroclimatologyLandscape architectureClimatic factors.Microclimatology.712Brown Robert1944 Jan 22-1811636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974398803321Design with microclimate4363638UNINA
