Water and Sacred Architecture

This edited book examines architectural representations that tie water as a physical and symbolic property with the sacred. The discussion centers on two levels of this relationship: how water influenced the sacredness of buildings across history and different religions; and how sacred architecture expressed the spiritual meaning of water. The volume deliberately offers original material on various unique contextual and design aspects of water and sacred architecture rather than an attempt to produce a historic chronological analysis on the topic or focusing on a specific geographical region. As such this unique volume adds a new dimension to the study of sacred architecture. The book’s chapters are compiled by a stellar group of scholars and practitioners from the US Canada Europe Asia and Africa. It addresses major aspects of water in religious buildings such as rituals pilgrimage water as a cultural material and place-making hydro systems modern practices environmental considerations the contribution of water to transforming secular into sacred and future digital/cyber context of water and sacredness. All chapters are based on original archival studies historical documents and field visits to the sites and buildings. These examinations show water as an expression of architectural design its materiality and its spiritual values. The book will be of interest to architects historians environmentalists archaeologists religious scholars and preservationists.

Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin façades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture engineering and construction. Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins double-skin windows and façades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations benefits and cautions for designing with double skins the book provides a primer on fundamental façade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal luminous and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance façades and implications for each phase of façade design and construction. Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature measured in performance and uniquely adapted to climate and place.

It also created new 'model' towns and pioneered land-use planning bringing together federal state and local agencies farmers foresters and industrial firms to further the economic social and physical conditions of what had been one of the most seriously lagging regions of the U. S. This book is based on the memoirs and experiences of Aelred J. Gray former planner with the TVA who saw the 'big picture' and introduced much of the pioneering work of the agency. Gray worked as a staff planner at the TVA for nearly 40 years including a decade as its chief planner overseeing numerous changes and developments to the Authority's program. As well as building up the regional industrial development and the foundation of state parks he also had a strong interest in the region's cities. In the 1950s he introduced TVA's landmark Flood Prevention Program which became a national model.
