Reseña del libro "Contemporary Southern Vernacular: Creating Sustainable Houses for Hot, Humid Climates (en Inglés)"

More and more people are flocking to the warm, sunny states of the American South, but the hot, humid climate presents a unique set of challenges to those building or renovating a home. Fortunately, veteran architects Jane and Michael Frederick are sharing the knowledge they've accumulated through nearly four decades of designing homes in the Coastal South, offering accessible guidance to anyone looking to create their dream home. Key Features: - Displays how the precepts of Southern vernacular architecture--refined over generations to respond to the local climate, materials, and context--offer time-tested direction for guarding against mold and rot, minimizing hurricane damage, reducing energy consumption, and overcoming other challenges of creating residential buildings in the South - Identifies how using the vernacular concepts gives a project a head start on sustainability - Presents nine sustainable, resilient residential case studies, complete with photographs and design sketches This comprehensive guide equips readers to have thoughtful, knowledgeable discussions with designers, architects, and builders on detailing a sustainable, resilient house. Showing how great home design not only honors the needs of the homeowners but also connects them to the land and its history, Contemporary Southern Vernacular provides clear guidance for creating Southern homes that will last a lifetime (and beyond).
