To ensure that future generations will
still find a pleasant living space, climate-friendly construction is
crucial. The design and choice of materials help to considerably reduce
the environmental impact of climate change caused by buildings.

This
present description of vernacular building techniques from all climate
zones provides architects with solutions from non-European and earlier
societies for the planning of their building concepts. The low-tech
approaches, illustrated in schematic drawings and explained in text, are
a source of inspiration for the design of sustainable and
energy-autonomous building structures.

Architecture Follows Climate
provides the first in-depth and comprehensive overview of passive
building techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries.


  • Techniques of traditional architectures as guideline for low-tech planning
  • Structurally organised according to the five climate zones
  • Constructive solutions, spatial concepts, materials, building physics, design elements, urban planning
