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
