Solar Energy: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects3 Journals8

Solar energy in architecture extends beyond photovoltaic panels to encompass passive solar design, orientation strategies, and thermal performance. Designers increasingly integrate renewable energy systems as core architectural elements rather than afterthoughts, shaping how buildings respond to sunlight and seasonal variations.

The community explores solar integration across residential developments, commercial structures, and experimental installations. Work ranges from large-scale housing projects optimized for solar exposure to sculptural installations that demonstrate solar technology's design potential.

"Water as a Source of Life"

Interlude is a cultural centre that aims to collect, maintain and promote local traditions and in turn making a sustainable architecture that has almost no environmental impact, thus generating a unique cultural icon in Morocco and North Africa. Just like an interlude in music, this project aims to become a place to have a break from the routine.
