Architecture and the Environment

Bioclimatic architecture or environmentally conscious, is not so much the result of an application of particular technologies, and of sustaining logic, directed towards adaptation and positive use of the environmental conditions, maintained during the process of the project, the work, and the life of the building and the method by its inhabitants; without losing, not at all, none of the rest of the implications: constructive, functional, aesthetic, etc., present in the recognized how good architecture; creating a new hierarchy in the determinants of the constructed solutions.The need to create new alternatives to the usual current modes of production of buildings is determined by the evident and growing weighting of the environmental problems that are generated in the field of accommodation and its direct

The different climates, the variety of materials that nature has in each area, different geographical conditions, different cultures living, mark orientations toward particular solutions that will be necessary to study and develop for each option concrete.If there is something definite like conclusion in the field of integrated architectures, it is its specificity for each case, for each place, for each environment. They can be used methodologies for analysis and proposals of previous or similar experiences that allow systematizing the basis of departure and discover critical factors to keep in mind, although the balance and the hierarchy of decision-making varies then individually for each situation by incorporating specific data that can be decisive in the design; Likewise must exploit technological advances, but not without rating them within each context and analyze their suitability or inadequacy to the conditions and needs and the consequences
