This chapter roughly describes an unconventional introduction to bioclimatic backgrounds aimed at tackling some of the major challenges of urban and architectural design with a multi-hybridised approach. As remembered by prof. Pearlmutter in the book preface and demonstrated by prof. Grosso in his key chapter, bioclimatic design is still an urgency. It needs to become part of our common way of thinking of architectural and urban design, as the matter of sustainability and climate issues become increasingly important in relation to current and future human space-living needs. The focus here is on the anthropogenic background, touching on climate change and massive urbanisation, trying to suggest potential visual and cultural connections for bioclimatic design. Furthermore, a reflection on how to localise the aspects of environmental and bioclimatic design research in the approach to technological design is introduced early on.

Abstract

This chapter roughly describes an unconventional introduction to bioclimatic backgrounds aimed at tackling some of the major challenges of urban and architectural design with a multi-hybridised approach. As remembered by prof. Pearlmutter in the book preface and demonstrated by prof. Grosso in his key chapter, bioclimatic design is still an urgency. It needs to become part of our common way of thinking of architectural and urban design, as the matter of sustainability and climate issues become increasingly important in relation to current and future human space-living needs. The focus here is on the anthropogenic background, touching on climate change and massive urbanisation, trying to suggest potential visual and cultural connections for bioclimatic design. Furthermore, a reflection on how to localise the aspects of environmental and bioclimatic design research in the approach to technological design is introduced early on.
