"This book considers climate as well as weather but its principal focus is everyday experience. Weather and climate differ in duration and scale. Unlike the weather, which we can see and feel at a specific time and place, we cannot directly perceive climate because it is an idea aggregated over many years and across a region.

Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered together. Recognising the weather as a creative architectural force alongside the designer and user, this book investigates architecture’s relations to the weather and climate within a wider discussion of cultural and social influences on architecture.
