TIL - Passive Solar Design

Using the power of the sun to heat and illuminate spaces things naturally. Strategically-oriented structures and using elements like large south-facing windows, materials that absorb and store heat, and overhangs for shade, the goal is to reduce reliance on energy consumption and rely on natural light indoors.

TIL - Biophilic design

It uses natural elements like plants, water features, sunlight, and organic materials built into the environment. These elements can help make a space feel more calm and relaxing.

Some of my favourite incorporations of ethnic designs in architecture come from India, Indonesia, and the Philippines which tend to have a warm, tropical feel, and pair well with the biophilic approach.
