Efficient use of energy

Architecture is energy. Linesdrawn on paper to represent architectural intentions also imply decadesand sometimes centuries of associated energy and material flows.

Form Follows Energyis about the relationship between energy and the form of our builtenvironment. It examines the optimisation of energy flows in buildingand urban design and the implications for form and configuration. Itspeaks to both architectural and engineering audiences and offers forthe first time a truly interdisciplinary overview on the subject,explaining the complex relationships between energy and architecture inan easy to follow manner and using simple diagrams to show how energydesign strategies can be used to maximize the energy performance of ourbuilt environment, while at the same time leading to new aestheticqualities and radically new forms in architecture and urban design. Casestudies are used to illustrate the theory.

The books philosophyis based on the guiding principles underlying nearly 30 years work inpractice, research and teaching. It is relatively easy to make somethingsimple seem complicated. To make a complex topic seem simple and easilyunderstandable is far more of a challenge and this is the aim of thisbook.
