Bioclimatism in architecture: An evolutionary perspective

Abstract: The well-known Darwinian evolutionary theory (1859) introduced natural selection as the most important mechanism of evolutionary processes at every level from biological systems, including species, individual organisms… to molecules, such as DNA or proteins. In architecture we observe similar evolution processes, which lead to the development of various architectural movements and concepts from common primitive living structures. Fundamentals of vernacular architecture have been used in bioclimatic architectur… Show more

“…Poor building design implies high energy demand for cooling and heating [15], while the bioclimatic design of buildings can improve their thermal performance. Bioclimatic design of buildings under hot and humid conditions has been studied in various papers, which provide interesting recommendations [16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…The overall picture of the results is of a developing field with few concrete examples. The literature on climate adapted architecture includes assessments of bioclimatic designs and their potential resilience to future climate change (Nguyen & Reiter, 2017; Rubio-Bellido, Pulido-Arcas, & Cabeza-Lainez, 2015; Schilderman & Lyons, 2011). Otherwise, the literature is on potential design strategies, with a handful of articles that describe new design elements or technologies that can be used in larger adaptive strategies (Lomas & Ji, 2009).…”

“…Building designs that adhere to bioclimatic architecture enable higher levels of comfort by using appropriate architectural components and avoiding a total reliance on mechanical systems. The bioclimatic approach to architecture originated from the design principles seen in the large majority of regional and traditional structures around the world [36]. The first use of bioclimatic architecture in the form of a blueprint was used by Olgyay in 1950 to 1953 as nature-inspired strategies in architectural design [37].…”
