Description 198 pages : illustrations (some colour), plans ; 22 cm Summary This sweaty discourse is explored across art, literature, architecture and the built environment. In particular, Sweat focuses on the most commonly experienced situation, the everyday house. While it addresses subjects from Japan, Brazil and France, Sweat centres on Brisbane, Queensland due to its enduring and self-conscious attention to subtropical living Analysis Australian Notes Part of the QUT Authors Collection Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Subject Architecture and climate.
