About Discussions Projects29 Journals38 Publications3

Bioclimatic architecture designs buildings around the climate of their site, using orientation, massing, shading, natural ventilation and thermal mass to provide comfort with minimal mechanical systems. The approach treats weather data as a starting point for form rather than a problem to be solved afterward. Designers working in this field typically analyze sun paths, prevailing winds and seasonal temperature swings before settling on a plan.

Community work here spans residences in Cyprus, Barcelona and Grenoble, a school, a cultural center and experimental projects that test how building envelopes and courtyards can moderate local conditions. Several entries explore seasonal change and the relationship between interior atriums, outdoor air and regional building traditions.

SHUBH-RITU

Choosing a challenging as well culturally rich and need-based site was the beginning of our design process. The design is a step-by-step development morphing from the sun, wind, light, activities of the children and energy-based appropriation. We have woven vernacular building strategies and materials with modern building principles and technology.
