About this document
Understanding Tropical Architecture in the Philippines by Kobe Aquino is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tropical architecture deals with designing buildings to align with tropical climates through appropriate forms, functions, and groupings. It focuses on using materials and techniques to make homes cooler, such as light colors, large windows, and double walls. Specifically in the Philippines, the traditional Bahay Kubo exemplifies tropical design with its light, breezy bamboo construction and tall, steeply pitched roof that allows hot air to rise and escape easily.
