Focusing on the period surrounding World War&nbsp;II\u2014before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available\u2014Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, L\u00facio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as&nbsp;MMM&nbsp;Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensively illustrated with archival material,&nbsp;<em>Modern Architecture and Climate<\/em>&nbsp;provides global perspectives on modern architecture and its evolving relationship with a changing climate, showcasing designs from Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa. This timely and important book reconciles the cultural dynamism of architecture with the material realities of ever-increasing carbon emissions from the mechanical cooling systems of buildings, and offers a historical foundation for today\u2019s zero-carbon&nbsp;design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Barber, Associate Professor at the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, discussed his book\u00a0Modern Architecture and Climate:\u00a0Design before Air Conditioning\u00a0(Princeton University Press, 2020) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-03-14-Barber.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-03-14-Barber_pod.jpg","cover_image_id":"2486","duration":"56:41","filesize":"42.29M","filesize_raw":"44344921","date_recorded":"2022-03-14","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[16],"class_list":["post-2484","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","hentry","series-greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2022-03-14-Barber_pod.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-download\/2484\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate","player_link":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2484\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate","audio_player":"<a class=\"wp-embedded-audio\" href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2484\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate\">https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast-player\/2484\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate<\/a>","episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/id1664960759","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"rss":{"key":"rss","url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks\/","label":"RSS","class":"rss","icon":"rss.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0TNTSCl3zRBues4Eqjkwwm","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/feed\/podcast\/greenhouse-environmental-humanities-book-talks","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vOCgrRRVJi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate\/\">Daniel Barber &#8211; Modern Architecture and Climate<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/podcast\/daniel-barber-modern-architecture-and-climate\/embed\/#?secret=vOCgrRRVJi\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;Daniel Barber &#8211; Modern Architecture and Climate&#8221; &#8212; The Greenhouse Book Talks\" data-secret=\"vOCgrRRVJi\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
