The Cave Is the Campfire: Thermal Forms in Architecture (2015)
article⁄The Cave Is the Campfire: Thermal Forms in Architecture (2015)
abstract⁄The thermal categories established by Reyner Banham are useful for identifying historical points at which structure is ’liberated’ from the task of being the prime controller of the environment, as well as identifying the impact on design culture, which given the freedom to invest structure with a high degree of sculptural plasticity, exaggerated the disconnect between form and thermal performance, resulting in a situation in which form is inherently viewed as incapable of performing work equivalent to mechanical systems.
