Climatic Architecture
Climatic Architecture
The invention of glass and its immaterial properties enabled the outside sensations like warmth and light to enter the building. Nowadays, the immaterial properties, along with the infrastructure, are fusing the outside and inside sensations. Since it has become possible to control spatial determinants, such as infrastructure, surveillance, information etc., the interior is achievable almost everywhere. It dilutes the urban structure and buildings themselves. The result is a change of the present ways of feeling and thinking about architectural space. Designing the sensations (such as temperature, humidity) can replace designing the material shapes of architecture. The sensations are the new program. There is a possibility for using insulating spaces rather than insulating materials. The border between the indoors and outdoors is softened. There is no exact place where the building actually begins and ends. Rooms can appear and disappear.
