Man of Honor

The Story of Daniel Fernandez

By: Daniel Fernandez Memorial Center Projec

This introduction to the life of Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Daniel Fernandez represents the work of four dedicated students from Daniel Fernandez Intermediate School in Los Lunas, New Mexico. Their challenge was to research Daniel's early life and his service in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, and then to write and illustrate a children's story on Daniel's life that could be shared with others in the school community. Over the course of eight months, these fifth and sixth grade students worked weekly with Mrs. Bouts and Mrs. Kastelic to accomplish this task. The result of the students' work is this book -- a story of honor, dedication, and heroism. In addition to Daniel's story, the history and photos of a student project to establish a memorial center for Daniel at the school are included.

Modern Architecture and Climate

Design Before Air Conditioning

By: Daniel A. Barber

How climate influenced the design strategies of modernist architects Modern Architecture and Climate explores how leading architects of the twentieth century incorporated climate-mediating strategies into their designs, and shows how regional approaches to climate adaptability were essential to the development of modern architecture. Focusing on the period surrounding World War II—before fossil-fuel powered air-conditioning became widely available—Daniel Barber brings to light a vibrant and dynamic architectural discussion involving design, materials, and shading systems as means of interior climate control. He looks at projects by well-known architects such as Richard Neutra, Le Corbusier, Lúcio Costa, Mies van der Rohe, and Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, and the work of climate-focused architects such as MMM Roberto, Olgyay and Olgyay, and Cliff May. Drawing on the editorial projects of James Marston Fitch, Elizabeth Gordon, and others, he demonstrates how images and diagrams produced by architects helped conceptualize climate knowledge, alongside the work of meteorologists, physicists, engineers, and social scientists. Barber describes how this novel type of environmental media catalyzed new ways of thinking about climate and architectural design. Extensively illustrated with archival material, Modern Architecture and Climate provides global perspectives on modern architecture and its evolving relationship with a changing climate, showcasing designs from Latin America, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa. This timely and important book reconciles the cultural dynamism of architecture with the material realities of ever-increasing carbon emissions from the mechanical cooling systems of buildings and offers a historical foundation for today’s zero-carbon design.
