Podrobnosti o e‑knize

This book explores the wide range of solutions in building envelope design, particularly focusing on the use of shading systems to contribute in regulating indoor conditions, providing a reflection about the main drivers of innovation and evolution in this sector. The book investigates the innovative trends in this sector, carefully considering the uncertain path that leads to develop completely different approaches and strategies as well as the experimental nature of the examined solutions, offering a concrete example of application. The scope is not to provide conclusive positions but to open the design perspective to tomorrow's challenges.
