About Discussions Projects70 Journals35 Publications5

Passive cooling strategies reduce or remove the need for air conditioning by shaping a building to manage heat, airflow, and solar gain. Designers use thermal mass, orientation, shading devices, cross-ventilation, and vegetation to moderate indoor temperatures in hot climates. The approach draws on vernacular building traditions as well as contemporary performance analysis.

Member work under this topic examines how these principles appear across climates, from double roofs and gabion walls in North Africa to layered brick and laterite in coastal India and courtyard-based houses in Vietnam. Projects also consider wind-driven form, sheltered public spaces, and the tradeoffs between cooling performance and spatial or material concerns.

Revitalization of Ankara Castle

The project gently evolved by taking references from the natural sloped landscape laying under the grand fortification walls of Ankara Castle, where the collective memory lives for centuries. The building itself became an experience that evokes the memory of the historical layers, the local people; and praises the grandness of walls by revitalizing Ankara.

Hexagon City

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.

KOBO Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

Kobo was designed to exist in harmony with the land, its topography and floral biodiversity. The Kobo complex blends with the terrain and integrates the existing eucalyptus trees on the property which are vital for the koalas sustenance. Moreover, the structure was built to allow the proper coexistence between koalas, their handlers and the center visitors.
