Design Guidelines for Contemporary Tropical Architecture

Subscriber Access

Bruno Stagno from San José, Costa Rica, shares his contemplations for a free expressive code for tropical architecture.

However, deepening and broadening this superficial look one finds a substantial background in tropicality that is rich in artistic expressions, thinking, and of course, traditional architectures that have identified the cultures of these latitudes.

The points above would be enough to examine already, but there is more. About 50% of the world's population lives in the tropical strip, the fastest growing cities are located in it, as well as 70% of the forests that help contain the increase of CO2 emissions. More than 108 countries are partially or completely located in the tropical belt, and almost all have developing economies, making them fall into the category of countries with medium and low income.
