Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Rather than investigate architectureâs relations to the weather in isolation, they are integrated into a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture. The analysis of weatherâs effects on the design and experience of specific buildings and gardens is interwoven with a historical survey of changing attitudes to the weather in the arts, sciences and society, leading to a critical re-evaluation of contemporary responses to climate change.
