The work of two Hungarian-born and trained architects doing research and teaching at Princeton University in the 1950s, still pertinent 65 years after its initial publication.  Olgyay & Olgyay's general interests lay in "the climatic environmental influences on regional architectural character" (Foreword).  This book, focusing on shading devices as architectural elements and the technical considerations in the design of solar protection, is related to the authors' broader interests, while constituting a stand-alone study. 

Copiously illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
