Description
The climate crisis has meant a return to the principles of traditional construction and the use of passive systems, with the purpose of achieving maximum comfort with a minimum environmental impact using strategies such as solar orientation, form factor, or wind patterns. AV Monographs collects sixteen houses designed according to this bioclimatic approach to respond to a huge variety of situations, from the intense heat of the African coast to the heavy snowfall of northern Europe, via the tropical rain of Southeast Asia, the marked seasonality in some areas of South America or China, and the mild temperatures in Central America and the Mediterranean.
