(Book). Ever since his father gave him a disc recorder at the tender age of 10; Bruce Swedien has known what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. The names of the people he has worked with are too many to list; but when one mentions musicians like Count Basie; Duke Ellington; Oscar Peterson; Sarah Vaughan; Eddie Harris; Quincy Jones; Jennifer Lopez; and even Michael Jackson; a great deal is immediately understood. In this book; Swedien generously gives away detailed information from his lifetime in the studio-from a musical; technical; and very personal perspective. This book has something for everyone who is interested in music; especially those curious about the stories behind the scenes of some of the best music to ever come out of the recording studio.

A book youll reference the rest of your careerBy PeteIve wanted to get a hold of this book for a long time; as I had seen some of the graphs/charts from it through my design career. I had even spotted a few copies sitting on the shelves of some of the older; progressive architects I work with. But getting a hold of a copy... that would be tough.Fortunately; this update and reprinting is now available to the public and I jumped right on purchasing it. This is a fantastic design guide that is just as relevant today as it was in the 1960s. In fact; one could say its even more relevant now as we may have finally become wise to the need for bioclimatic buildings and thoughtful design. If I was teaching a course (which I hope to soon) on bioclimatic design; this would be the book I assign and work from. It elegantly and clearly bridges the disciplines of architecture; engineering and biology. It goes deep enough into each of those disciplines to provide real information and data - but it also assumes the reader may not be an expert in each of those subject matters; so it also provides overviews of the principles involved in each.Frankly; this is a book that I think every student intent on designing buildings should be forced to study at some point in their academic career.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. You think you know...By James S. BrewComputers; simulation software and standards have made the design process much easier; faster; and saferhellip;but itrsquo;s not always better. Design with Climate is a refreshing reminder of what it means to not only know about a local climate; but to feel it.Itrsquo;s a bit like the difference between describing a radiant cooling system by its water temperature and airflow rate or saying that it is like the ldquo;cool breeze under the shade of a treerdquo;.This timeless new edition provides professors; students and practitioners with a solid foundation in understanding climate forces and the possible responses and solutions to our current climate challenges.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The fundamentals of ecologically responsive design made clear and straightforwardBy Peter H. RumseyDecades ago; Victor Olgyay taught the principles of designing with nature and climate in a deliberate and measured way. While he anticipated the future of ecological design; he might be dismayed to know how long we are all taking to adopt these elegant energy saving strategies on a wide scale. With the convergence of todayrsquo;s affordable clean energy technologies and a rebirth of Olgyayrsquo;s timeless design approach; the time is ripe for change. Irsquo;ll be recommending this new edition of Design with Climate to all my building and construction students at Stanford and all the architectural and design teams I work with on net zero and low-energy buildings.
