Robert Brown helps us see that a "thermally comfortable microclimate" is the very foundation of welldesigned and wellused outdoor places. Brown argues that as we try to minimize humaninduced changes to the climate and reduce our dependence on fossil fuelsas some areas become warmer, some cooler, some wetter, and some drier, and all become more expensive to regulategood microclimate design will become increasingly important. In the future, according to Brown, all designers will need to understand climatic issues and be able to respond to their challenges.Brown describes the effects that climate has on outdoor spacesusing vivid illustrations and exampleswhile providing practical tools that can be used in everyday design practice. The heart of the book is Brown's own design process, as he provides useful guidelines that lead designers clearly through the complexity of climate data, precedents, site assessment, microclimate modification, communication, design, and evaluation. Brown strikes an ideal balance of technical information, anecdotes, examples, and illustrations to keep the book engaging and accessible. His emphasis throughout is on creating microclimates that attend to the comfort, health, and wellbeing of people, animals, and plants.Design with Microclimate is a vital resource for students and practitioners in landscape architecture, architecture, planning, and urban design.
