Hi Team (Taliesen 4),

14/08/2009

Studio 2B Lecture notes; W.A site,

Analyzing the Climate,

Ancient landscape

Look to use lightweight materials

Think about water management (shading)

When it rains it rains a lot and often when it’s hot. When it’s hot it’s really hot

Only small shrubs in the area

Cyclone prone area

Diverse soils and can be lush

People prefer if cold to rug up at night also protect themselves against the rain not cold with clothing

USE SHADE AND WIND (CROSS VENTILATE)

People love breezes and follow the shade

Watch orientation as site is right near the ‘Tropic of Capricorn’

Seasons are ‘Hot Wet’ being quite humid and ‘Hot Dry’ being relatively dry

FILMS TO WATCH

The Proposition

Tracker

Tasks – Analyzing the Climate (think passive heating and cooling design)

1. Ecotect – Matt
