Thermal delight in architecture
Book • 1979
In 'Thermal Delight in Architecture,' Lisa Heschong makes the case that thermal qualities are a crucial aspect of how we experience and remember spaces.
She suggests that thermal delight should be elevated to the same status as qualities of light and shadow in architectural design.
The book examines various characteristics of our thermal perception, including biological mechanisms and sensory modalities, and explores humanity's relationship with temperature across different cultures and climates.
Heschong argues against the monotony of climate-controlled buildings, highlighting the pleasures of thermal contrasts and how they enhance our use and appreciation of spaces.
