"First, a brief history of couryards is presented, including itemized accounts of topics such as placement within a building, orientation, exposure, common activities in and around courtyards, and the promotion of temperate conditions within the courtyard. Next, an ample section of examples follows, generously supplemented with over fifty full-color photographs from Spain and Latin America.
These images are accompanied by temperature charts, solar diagrams, and other key technical information about courtyards. Finally, an extensive section of planning and design guidelines highlights factors for consideration, such as daytime/nighttime temperature ranges, zoning regulations, proportions, and innovative propsals incorporating driveways and uses of rainwater.".
"Courtyards presents a survey of courtyards, contemporary design guidelines, and a diverse selection of examples. Readers will acquire a basic understanding of the balance that must exist between garden and building, including practical advice for planting."--BOOK JACKET.
