I LOVED this book! I think my designs are so much better now that I know when to open and close the windows at the right time! I was always so confused before. I can also make sure that I get good air flow by drawing those great ribbon arrows. This book is perfect for anyone who has never looked at the sky or felt the wind before or chooses to ignore their own senses! I think Brown could of done this without DeKay though. RULES-O-THUMB LUV!

This is one of the most important books of the decade. Anyone who builds or designs buildings, needs to own and read this book. I am amazed at the thoroughness of information it presents about design, all there, in one book, it is worth five times what they ask.

I thought the book itself was really interesting although a little confusing. Especially when I actually had to use it for class assignments!
