Bioclimatism in architecture: An evolutionary perspective [PDF]

International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics, 2017
Fundamentals of vernacular architecture have been used in bioclimatic architecture which has gradually become the inspiration of various movements in contemporary architecture. The study points out that the development of bioclimatism in architecture has followed the pattern of a natural evolutionary process in which “natural selection” is likely ...
