<P><EM>Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture </EM>is a guide to innovative architectural design for architects, engineers and other specialists who are working with biophilic and bioclimatic architectural concepts.</P>
<P><EM>Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture</EM> has three parts: <BR>• Part I focuses on the relationship between architecture and human needs and the creation process, demonstrating the meaning of architectural value in architectural hypothesis. <BR>• Part II opens the way towards a new understanding of biophilic architecture as a response to the negative actions of humans and the negative effects of using natural resources. <BR>• Part III shows the benefits of combining the effects of the climate with the notion of human comfort in bioclimatic architecture.</P>

The concept of biophilic and bioclimatic architecture represents one of the most promising ideas in sustainable building. Together with its consideration of ecologically harmless materials and use of renewable energy sources, it brings an enormous quality increase in planning and workmanship, as well as an improvement in inhabitants’ comfort. This valuable concept merits a dedicated discussion. <br>

<em>Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture</em> outlines a new movement that aims to create environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient buildings and developments by effectively managing natural resources. The book has three parts: <br>
<ul>
<li>Part I focuses on the impact of human needs on the creation process and assesses the concept of value in architectural hypotheses.</li>
<li>Part II opens the way to a new understanding of biophilic architecture as a response to destructive human activities and also considers the side effects of using natural resources.</li>
<li>Part III shows the significant benefits of making the connection between climate and comfort that can be achieved through bioclimatic architecture. </li>
</ul>
<p><em>Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture</em> will enable architects, engineers and other specialists to develop innovative, sustainable architectural designs. </p>
