Bioclimatic Design & Engineering | Just sharing thoughts, insights and the occasional obsession with how buildings and cities interact with climate 🌍

I get this question a lot: “Does bioclimatic desig I get this question a lot: “Does bioclimatic design work for any type of project?”The short answer is yes, but it needs context.Every project has a climate. Every user experiences temperature, wind, and light. So it makes sense to design with those factors in mind, whether it’s a house, a commercial building, or a renovation.What changes is how much you can apply. Not every project will be 100% passive, without air conditioning. And that’s okay. Reducing energy consumption through smart design decisions is already a huge gain.I don’t see bioclimatic design as a specific style or a niche. I see it more as a layer of thinking that can be part of any project, you just need to look at the climate, the site, and the surroundings before you start designing.Limitations exist: budget, regulations, and complicated sites. But there’s always room to make better choices, even small ones.What do you think? Have you ever considered bioclimatic strategies in your projects?#bioclimaticarchitecture #sustainabledesign #energyefficiency #architecture #environmentalcomfort
I am a pessimist when it comes to climate change. I am a pessimist when it comes to climate change.I work with climate data enough to know how much has already been lost. So when I find a “hopeful” book on the subject, my instinct is to be sceptical.The Future We Choose, by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac, surprised me.The book presents two scenarios for the future— one in which we fail to control climate change, one in which we thrive.Simple as that. But each scenario is built on real science, data, studies, and complete references.This is not empty optimism. It is a well-grounded argument that the future is still an open choice, and that the decisions we make now matter.I finished it still a pessimist. But able to see a light at the end of the tunnel that I hadn’t been able to see before.Highly recommended for professionals in the field, for those outside it, for optimists, and especially for fellow pessimists.Full review at the link in bio 👆#climatechange #thefuturewechoose #sustainablearchitecture #bioclimaticdesign #abioclimatica
Esse complexo brutalista me surpreendeu muito mais Esse complexo brutalista me surpreendeu muito mais do que eu esperava. Fui num tour guiado e a cada informação ficava mais impressionada com a escala e ambição do projeto.Nos anos 1960-70, reconstruíram essa área que tinha sido bombardeada na Segunda Guerra Mundial. A proposta era criar uma ‘cidade dentro da cidade’: residências, escolas, centro cultural, conservatório. Mais de 2.000 unidades habitacionais com mais de 100 layouts diferentes de studios a coberturas.Tem alguns pontos que me chamaram atenção pela perspectiva bioclimática:- Os ‘passeios’ elevados que conectam todo o complexo sem carros (a ideia era expandir isso por todo centro de Londres mas não se concretizou e é bem engraçado que alguns trechos o caminho leva a lugar nenhum), mas o conceito é interessante. - O sistema de lagos e fontes artificiais no centro do complexo, que criam um microclima mais úmido e agradável, você sente a diferença de temperatura quando chega perto - A quantidade absurda de área verde, incluindo o conservatório com plantas tropicais (público e gratuito!) - Os jardins privativos nas coberturas e terraços que ajudam no conforto térmico - Ruínas romanas preservadas integradas ao projetoÉ um projeto que divide opiniões, o concreto todo, a escala monumental, os caminhos suspensos. Mas é inegável a ambição de criar espaços de qualidade, com natureza integrada, pensando em comunidade.Me fez refletir sobre como esses conceitos de microclima, áreas verdes e vida comunitária fazem diferença mesmo em contextos urbanos densos. E como design pode (ou não) envelhecer bem.No fim se tornou um projeto referência na cidade, como um respiro verde, artístico e arquitetônico no meio da cidade densa e moderna que é Londres.Alguém já visitou o Barbican? Qual foi a impressão?#barbican #londres #arquiteturabrutalista #arquiteturasustentavel #microclima urbanismo”
This week was all about environmental analysis met This week was all about environmental analysis methodologies, attending talks, testing new workflows for thermal comfort, some well-deserved pasta & goodbyes with the team.#BioclimaticDesign #SustainableCities #UrbanComfort #ClimateAdaptation #ThermalComfort #environmentaldesign
Ever wondered why some rooms in your home feel lik Ever wondered why some rooms in your home feel like an oven while others stay pleasantly cool? It all comes down to understanding how the sun interacts with our buildings throughout the year! ☀️In this video, I walk you through the process of creating a sun-path analysis using Ladybug Tools in Rhino - one of the most powerful tools in my daily workflow as a Bioclimatic Designer Engineer.Sun-path analysis is absolutely crucial during the early design stages of any project. It helps architects and designers make informed decisions about:🏢 Building orientation🪟 Window placement and sizing🛋️ Room layout and function🌳 Shading strategiesIn warm climates, we often want to minimise direct sunlight to reduce cooling loads, while in cooler regions, maximising solar gain can significantly reduce heating requirements. This analysis helps strike that perfect balance!The best part? When incorporated early in the design process, these considerations can lead to significant energy savings with minimal additional costs.Whether you’re a sustainability professional, architect, or simply curious about creating more comfortable and efficient spaces, I hope this demonstration gives you valuable insights into the world of bioclimatic design.Questions about sun-path analysis or other sustainability tools?

My bioclimatic diary

Once in a while I share reflections on architecture, climate and the world we're building, and sometimes existential dread. Come think with me.
