Bioclimatic Design for Informal Settlements
2017In this paper, a review of the reasons hindering the use of bioclimatic design principles in informal settlements is attempted and the perspective of bioclimatic design in those contexts is discussed. Among the main candidate reasons is the habit of mind induced by the belief that informal settlements grow organically, so as to invariably end up being ...

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2016
Almost a century ago, observed geographic patterns of plant phenology (such as leaf-out and flowering) were summarized in Hopkins’ Bioclimatic Law. This law describes phenology as varying along climatic gradients by latitude, longitude, and altitude. Yet phenological patterns are not only affected by contemporary climatic differences across space, but ...

Attempts to regionalize world climates began in the early 1800s, based partly on natural landscapes. The first attempts were empirical, but better understanding of global atmospheric circulation led eventually to ‘genetic’ approaches, based on the mechanisms that generate different climate types.

This chapter is an overview of research on climatic analysis and design for architecture. It presents the history of studies in building climatology that have lead to a coherent approach to design based upon climate, which can be properly given the term “environmental architecture.”
