Natural Ventilation in the Urban Environment: Assessment and Design (Buildings, Energy and Solar Technology Series (BEST))
ASIN: 1873936729 |
Book Description
"... this is an exceptionally well researched book on a subject of great importance and some controversy "-- WORLD ARCHITECTURE
The benefits -- environmental, economic, and for occupants’ comfort and health -- of ventilating buildings naturally, rather than mechanically, are becoming increasingly recognized and sought after.
Approaches can be high-tech or low-tech, but always need to be part of an integrated design approach. A range of technical barriers, such as building codes, fire regulations and acoustics, also need to be taken into account.
This new handbook describes the real potential of natural ventilation, its appropriate use, the design and dimensioning methodologies, the need for an integrated design approach, and how to overcome barriers. It includes a CD with software to assist in the calculation of airflow rate in natural ventilation configurations.
The book provides essential design information for all architects, building engineers and other building design professionals. The work was coordinated by Mat Santamouris from the University of Athens, Greece, and involved experts in numerous European countries.
Book Description
Create beautiful faux finish effects with the Color Shaper, a new painting tool from Forsline & Starr.
Transform your home with lovely malachite, marble, stone finishes, or with the soft patina of grained wood; or choose a fresh look from a collection of fanciful, new faux patterns. In these pages you will find twelve easy projects, along with a host of colorful, creative variations to add drama to your décor.
--Simple, step-by-step instruction, plus dozens of faux finishes to try on furniture, moldings, floorcloths, shutters, tile, borders, and blinds
--Seventeen faux finish "recipes," to decorate any surface you choose

Great easy-to-create projects, neat effects.......2001-04-30
This is a great book for the decorative artist. The effects you can achieve are both stunning and easy to create. They give a unique look to any project.
The book starts out with an overview of wide color shaper types and basic strokes as well as instructions for preparing and finishing surfaces. Then it shows you how to create faux stone, faux wood, fabric looks and fantasy textures. Some projects include a malachite chest, marble table, blue patterned cupboard, kilim floorcloth, damask roller blind and ceramic tile trivet.
Further pattern recipes are in the back. Some of these include lapis lazuli, woven plaid and wavy cross-band design. The instructions for everything are excellent, demonstrated step-by-step with photos. Most projects use latex paints, glazing liquid and a water-base varnish and include a complete materials list.
My only wish for the book was a suppliers list. Wide color shapers can be difficult to find. Buy this book with the color shaper included if you can.

Customer Reviews:
Disappointing.......2002-02-26
I bought this book because it included the 3 shapers and I loved Paula Desimone's other book (co-authored with Pat Stewart) - Brush, Sponge, Stamp. This current publication does not compare with her earlier book.
What really irritated me was the fact that so many of the project instructions specified color shaper types and sizes that were NOT included with the book. In fact, a minimal amount of the designs actually use any of the three accompanying shapers. Surely she could have come up with ideas utilising the color shapers that were going to be sold with her book.
My suggestion is to buy 'Brush, Sponge, Stamp'; choose your favourite designs from this book and then go out and purchase the shapers you will need.
Easy to follow instructions, dazzling results.......2000-03-20
This book unlocks a great array of dazzling painting effects made easy by using color shapers, "brushes" with various size and shape rubber tips instead of bristles. The 3 color shapers that come with the book are of top quality.
I really enjoy the feel of the color shapers and the ease with which I learned to control them. They can be used to apply paint or manipulate or remove paint from a surface, creating endless possibilities.
The book starts with basic strokes then on to a wide variety of projects using different techniques & readily available materials, including metal, wood, ceramics & paper. There are some great effects by combining colors and glazes in layers.
The projects have clear instructions with color photos every step of the way. They are a springboard for more ideas. The color shapers are now among my favorite tools and I keep finding new ways to use them.

Every Bit As Awesome As The Black-&-Whites.......2004-11-22
The first foray of the world's last and mightiest dinosaur, the foot-tall Gon, into the realm of color. As phenomenal as the rest of the series, with the very, very minor reduction in the intricacy of the pencilwork displayed more than made up for by a chance to see Gon and his world rendered in vivid color. The diminutive dinosaur shines here, doing what he does best - befriending creatures of all manner, defending his friends from adversity, predators and downright bullies, enjoying life to the fullest (he takes such immense pleasure in things like savoring the taste of a piece of fruit, in a way the world at large seems to have forgotten how to), and continuing his long-running rival with a particular bear known throughout the Gon series simply as 'The Bear', begun in the very first Gon book when Gon takes offense at 'The Bear' bullying a smaller bear out of his catch of fish. (It's worth noting that only one bear goes by the name 'The Bear'; all other bears seem to have been assigned other names, such as 'King Bear' and 'Little Teddy'. It's also worth noting that despite the titanic nature of their struggles - with 'The Bear' inevitably coming out on the losing end - nobody ever gets seriously injured. Such is part of the charm of the Gon series). Touching, hilarious and exhiliratingly enjoyable as always. Features the tales "Gon Is Very Sleepy", "Gon's Archenemy, The Bear", "Gon Meets King Bear", "Gon Becomes Electric Gon" (one of the most wonderfully moving tales in his pantheon), "Gon Meets Little Teddy" and "Gon Has Big Antlers". Animals featured in this volume include deer,prairie dogs, a skunk, an owl, and many more.
Strange Happenings for the Tiny Terror.......2002-09-25
The tiny jurassic tornado is back in full swing, and he's doing things in color for the first time! The six eight-page stories that appear here originated in the Japanese comic MORNING and are collected for the first time together, and they all defy the normality of Gon by bringing him to you in a full-flavored sight spectrum. The format of this addition is a bit odd for the Gon series, coming to you in a comic type style instead of the normal trade paperback editions, but don't let that fool you. It still has all the kick of a normal Gon feature.
If you are unfamiliar with Gon and his exploits, he's is a two-foot-tall, unstoppable dinosaur that loves to explore, take up for the "little guys," and terrorize anything that gets in his way. He travels far and wide, matching his little feet and indestructible nature against anything the world can throw at him, providing silent (yes, that's right, no words) entertainment for people of all ages/interests.
Included here are:
Gon is very sleepy, proving that Gon not only works hard and plays hard, but he also sleeps with a ferocity that also manages to intertwine his downtime and trouble.
Gon's archenemy, the bear, shows that Gon really doesn't like bears at all. In quite a few of his other adventures, Gon has found himself at odds with them, going to lengths to torment them. In this piece, Gon runs across a gorge with a single log providing a way to cross and a bear with a fish coming from the other direction. Will Gon give? Right.
Gon meets King Bear is more of a showing of strength, pitting the little dinosaur against the king of the forest in a contest of eating and endurance.
Gon becomes electric Gon mingles Gon with lightning, only adding to the torment he can cause for others. This one is especially good, providing an interesting ending that was, well, unexpected.
Gon meets little teddy finds Gon wandering across the path of a little bear trying to reach an apple in the distance. Well, when a bird swoops down and takes it, Gon does what he doe best. He teaches it a lesson.
In Gon has big antlers, Gon is admiring a deer's antlers in the forest, wanting some for himself. Well, he comes across the skeleton of a deceased one, removes its horns and carries them in his mouth, and causes chaos for predator and prey alike.
it was regular gon, with a kick of color, it was greart,.......1998-08-09
i loved it, if u love gon youll love this book. i love gon so much mu screen name is named after him

Great New Internet Marketing Book.......2001-01-17
I recently purchased this book and have found it to be extremely helpful in understanding the intersection of marketing and the Internet. I am a computer engineer trying to better comprehend the world of business. This book provides both theoretical and practical insights that have been extremely useful. The book is very well written in a style that is accessible to an outsider, yet covers the topics in significant depth.
