Tropical Architecture
Tropical architecture is a design approach suited for warm, humid climates. It focuses on creating buildings that maximize natural ventilation, shade, and cooling to stay comfortable without excessive energy use. Features often include open spaces, wide overhangs, high ceilings, and use of local materials that respond well to the environment. The goal is to promote airflow, reduce heat gain, and connect indoor and outdoor spaces harmoniously, ensuring comfort and sustainability while respecting local culture and resources.
