This comprehensive book is a treasure trove of accessible information, covering every technical and practical aspect of home design in tropical environments. It begins by laying the foundation for understanding the complex challenges posed by the climate, heat, and thermal comfort in these regions, delving into the traditional housing solutions that have stood the test of time. The book then identifies cutting-edge solutions for protecting buildings and their occupants from the scorching sun and external heat, while promoting bioclimatic and environmentally friendly approaches.
The economic viability of these solutions is explored, along with the advantages and disadvantages of the materials used, considering the specific context and prevailing standards. Numerous examples showcase how buildings can be tailored to the unique realities of tropical regions, ranging from avant-garde creations by renowned architects like Jean Prouvé to contemporary designs by architects committed to sustainable development.
