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.

The spirit of culture

The immortal element of a culture that has been able to survive in the face of different events throughout history is called the spirit of that culture. This insight is my most important tool to show the essence of Moroccan culture in this project.
