Abstract:
Abstract This essay is concerned with how architecture was imagined to mediate tropical climate in the interest of forming productive postcolonial national subjects. It charts a transition in approach from late colonial to postcolonial modernist architecture as it was exemplified in the design of the University of Ife campus in Nigeria in the 1960s by an Israeli team led by Arieh Sharon in collaboration with the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Sharon's team formed an alternative to the postwar predominance of sun-shading devices, specifically as the British colonial architects Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew employed them in their design of the neighboring University College Ibadan campus. The essay considers the midcentury discourse on sun-shading devices in relation to the contemporaneous theory of “human capital” and demonstrates how this discourse drew from the eighteenth-century notion of architectural “character,” which links the productive capacities of different races with architectural representation.

Abstract:
During the 17th-18th century colonial period on the Indian subcontinent, British colonial architecture flourished – including in the Bengal Delta. Although colonial architecture was inherently different from the traditional architecture of this tropical region, the monsoon climate and deltaic landscape forced colonial style buildings to incorporate a number of tropical architectural features to ensure climatic comfort. In the contemporary period, due to pressure from population density, many colonial buildings have been demolished and replaced with multi-story buildings. However, the tropical forces of this deltaic region need to be evaluated in order to re-create climate responsive architecture. This study aims to identify tropical architectural features inherent within colonial buildings of Khulna, Bangladesh, a city which formed a junction in the deltaic region during the colonial period. Four colonial buildings have been selected as case studies: two residential buildings, one mixed-use building, and a school. Tropical features were analysed from photographic data, and reproductions of plans and sections of the selected buildings, in order to reveal the significant tropical architectural features of these colonial period buildings. The case studies reveal structural and design elements that aided ventilation and air flow, and controlled solar radiation, humidity and driving rain. The findings aim to encourage practicing architects to rethink climate responsiveness in contemporary buildings in Bangladesh, by revealing how, a century ago, colonial buildings were influenced by the tropical deltaic climate, which impacted foreign architectural ideology and practice.

Abstract:
Title: Implementation’s Analysis of Tropical Architectural Design Concepts at Alila Seminyak Hotel, Bali Tropical architecture is born from efforts to adjust to the climate in the tropics. Tropical architectural design always shows the form of adaptation of buildings to the environment. Traditional Balinese houses that function as community residential units are one of the tropical architectural typologies with the main advantage of thermal comfort, especially on air circulation flow that flows well throughout the building. However, when reviewing further commercial buildings in Bali, especially star hotels, the implementation of tropical architecture is a theme that requires deep design thinking. Adjustment to Balinese regional regulations on buildings is very binding; limited sites and demands for comfort and suitability of building functions are challenging for architects to design an accommodation building with a tropical architectural concept. Alila Seminyak Hotel is one of the five-star hotels outside the ITDC Nusa Dua area, which tries to form a tropical architectural identity as the main attraction. This qualitative descriptive research takes the case study of Alila Seminyak Hotel. Assessment analysis was carried out on the physical form of the hotel building, which was then appropriated and compared with tropical architectural theory. The results of this study show that the implementation of tropical architecture in the Alila Seminyak hotel building can be classified into several main elements, namely, first is the form of laying the building period on-site, second is the orientation pattern of the building, and third is The physical design of the building emphasizes, that this building have three main concept designs, it is namely insulation, shading, and cross ventilation.

Abstract:
Preservation of historic buildings plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable environment by serving as a model for climate-responsive designs and bridge between the past and the present architecture. This study focused on the need for architectural preservation of historic buildings in order to explore their unique features for energy efficiency that can benefit the environment in a sustainable manner. The study relied on case study methodology. Intrinsic approach to case selection is adopted because of historical relevance and significance to sustaining the typical tropical architecture design characteristics. The design of this case study is guided by the thermal comfort and energy efficiency theoretical developments of tropical architecture. The features of investigation center around the design characteristics and strategies that enhance the livability of a typical tropical building. Data for this research is primarily sourced through direct observation and photographs. Analysis of the data is done thematically. Findings reveal the investigated case building possesses design strategies and characteristics for the prevention and removal of solar heat gains in tropical buildings. These would enhance sustainable architectural practices within the tropical climate of Nigeria

Abstract:
In the interwar years European historians and critics of architecture tried to assimilate science into architecture and arts. For example Sigfried Giedion's Space, Time, and Architecture (1941) attempted to bring Einsteinian spacetime into architectural theory, while Nikolaus Pevsner's An Outline of European Architecture (c. 1943) used space as a criterion to differentiate architecture from other art forms. These brought to the idea of ‘space’ a distinctly modern meaning, making it a universal signifier; whereas in the last decade, architectural historians have argued for the historical specificity of space and a deeper examination of the social and spatial practices embedded in the making of space. This study inquires into the atemporal readings of space, using Lefebvre's theory on the production of space by ‘interested subjects’.

The idea of environmental design – or loosely referred to as “tropical architecture” – is an ever-present but underlying discourse in modern Indonesian architectural history. Despite being tentative and, at times, overshadowed by other dominant issues, the quest for climate-related environmental tropical design is apparent in almost every generation of Indonesian architects.

Abstract:
Professor John Owusu Addo is a Ghanaian tropical modern architect and a pioneer in architectural education and practice in the nation-building of Ghana and other Commonwealth countries. His contributions to the modern architecture discourse seem to be overshadowed by the cohort of architects of both Western and Socialist origin who practiced in Africa during the decolonization era. The Community Center at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus in Kumasi-Ghana was designed by him; it represents a classic example of ‘unknown’ heritage within the narrative. This short essay examines both primary and secondary data, including unpublished interviews, master series events, articles, and papers to contextualize Prof. Owusu Addo as an exemplary protagonist to be explored for the benefit of tropical modern architects, especially in African settings.

Abstract:
The majority of hotels in Balikpapan use a modern look that does not accommodate tropical climate conditions. In addition, hotels in Balikpapan are also somewhat inconsistent with local architecture, so the buildings do not have a character that reflects local culture. This is one of the main reasons for designing hotels in Balikpapan with a tropical architectural approach. The character of this Tropical Architecture is the approach that will be applied to this design to anticipate tropical climate conditions which have quite high temperatures and humidity. The design approach that will be applied to the building is the determination of spatial orientation, shading, cross ventilation (air circulation), lighting and the use of traditional Dayak motifs. The method used in this design is the rational method. It is hoped that the Hotel Design in Balikpapan with a Tropical Architectural Approach can become a design that can accommodate the tropical climate, support the needs of people who are on business trips and become buildings that have local cultural characteristics in Balikpapan.

Removed from bioclimatic design and vernacular styles, modern buildings have become merely icons, symbolic of humankind's victory over nature - evident in the rapid escalation of global greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption. As tropical regions face unprecedented growth, this thesis looks to the physiological adaptations of tropical plants to identify fac̦ade design strategies that reduce or eliminate the need for air conditioning in hot-humid regions. Using the dynamic stressors of tropical climates as a source of inspiration, this work hypothesizes that the abundant latent energy found in tropical climates can be used to power discernable thermal change in unconditioned spaces. Using environmental cues to trigger non-linear events, plants can change observable characteristics in response to even small changes in external stimuli. This research questions how extreme differentials at the façade can promote change in interior environments. Using infrared photography to understand the thermal response of tropical plants under environmental stress plus an extensive review of plant physiology, this thesis explores space, variability and storage, as strategies for building enclosure systems. Given the innate ability of porous materials to change characteristics in different environments, materials are manipulated to control directional vapor drive in ways that benefit interior thermal comfort. To explore the hygrothermal behavior of potential enclosure materials and assemblies, the author designed and constructed a custom tabletop hotbox, which is easily and affordably replicated. Through extensive testing and biological translation, the result is a repeatable method of exploring natural phenomena and choreographing moisture drive in building materials, as inspired by plant biology.

This thesis considers the viability of an architectural grammar based on traditional Caribbean architecture as an aid to designing climatically responsive architecture in hot humid climates. It argues that since traditional Caribbean architecture is a successful response to the constraints of climate and resources, a grammar based on this architecture would produce designs with similar characteristics and therefore would still be relevant today. The purpose of focusing on the relationship between architectural form and energy use is to help designers understand the consequences of basic design decisions and to help them to use these issues positively to generate form. In order to investigate this issue, a number of questions were addressed in the thesis. They were: What are shape grammars? What is appropriate design in hot humid climates? What is traditional Caribbean architecture and is it climatically appropriate? What would a tropical grammar look like and what would it produce? and How could it be used practically? A grammar was formulated based on a set of 16 traditional Caribbean houses and as a test, two new designs were generated. Shape grammars, in their most basic form, are essentially a set of rules that if followed, will generate designs in the same family as the original set. Typically, they are used to study a particular architect's style or occasionally a building style. This thesis states that shape grammars have two serious limitations which reduce their usefulness to designers. The first is that shape grammars focus only on physical form and the second is that they do not increase the user's understanding of the reasons for the grammar rules. However, it was found that, in contrast, the process of developing or formulating a grammar (as opposed to using one) was exceptionally useful for developing a deep understanding of the architectural style or type. The thesis concludes that architectural grammars can be a very useful and accessible tool for designers: 1. if they are able to go beyond physical form to include other architectural issues and knowledge; 2. if means are developed for presenting grammars which allow users to understand the rules, and not simply follow them; and 3. if methods are developed for analyzing and evaluating the designs that are generated by the grammar. It also concludes that a grammar is a useful tool to familiarize designers with the most successful characteristics of traditional architectural vocabulary. The purpose of this type of grammar is not to copy or duplicate a style, but to learn from its practical solutions in order to create new combinations of form that would be appropriate to the conditions found today.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
A presente tese trata de técnicas de baixo custo econômico, acessíveis à população e adequadas ao emprego de materiais que possam ser utilizados em seu estado natural, com pouco beneficiamento. O bambu, a terra crua e as fibras e resinas vegetais, são basicamente os materiais utilizados. Primeiramente foram realizados e testados objetos experimentais para funcionar como elementos de vedações, de cobertura, de sobrecobertura, de proteção externa – brise-soleil e arcos estruturais. Em seguida descreve o aperfeiçoamento de processos de encapsulamento do bambu em desenvolvimento no Laboratório de Investigação Livre Desenho da PUC-Rio. Dando continuidade ao trabalho sobre essas técnicas construtivas, a partir da manipulação de uma determinada bolha de sabão, foi elaborada uma série de modelos experimentais mecânicos e virtuais para uma sala multiuso de 7,70m x 6,00m de base, com altura de 3,20m, feita de fitas de bambu, mantas de barro cru, fibras e resinas vegetais. Na geometria destes modelos, paredes e cobertura se fundem em uma superfície contínua, com duas camadas superpostas, espaçadas e interligadas, formando uma casca que se apoia em toda a extensão do seu perímetro. A seguir, foi feita uma construção em escala real em que fitas de bambu descreviam a geometria base da bolha para testarmos de maneira não instrumentalizada possibilidades de montagem e desmontagem e os índices de resistência devidos ao particular formato da bolha. Finalmente, baseado neste último experimento, são apresentadas soluções gerais inovadoras para o conforto higrotérmico em climas tropicais úmidos que substituem a estratégia da inércia térmica dos materiais espessos e pesados pela leveza de uma dupla casca estrutural que abriga câmaras de ar ventiladas em seu interior.
This thesis studies low cost building techniques that are accessible to a wide range of population groups and are suitable for the use of materials in their natural state with little or no processing. The materials used are basically bamboo, raw earth and vegetable fibers and resins. First a series of tests were carried out with experimental objects to assess suitability for use as sealants, covering, outer covering and external protection – brise –soleil panels and structural arches. Following this, we describe the perfecting of the bamboo coating process in progress the Free Design Laboratory of Rio’s Catholic University. Building on these construction techniques, inspired by the manipulation of a soap bubble a series of experimental mechanical and virtual models were elaborated for a multi-use space measuring 7.7m by 6m at the base with a height of 3.2m, made of bamboo tapes, with a raw earth, fiber and resin covering. In the geometry of these models the walls and covering are a continuous surface with two layers one on another, separated but interconnected. In this way the outer wall is formed which extends over and is supported by the entire perimeter of the structure. The following step was to make a full scale construction in which bamboo tapes were used to form the geometric shape of the base of the bubble in order to do practical tests of the possibilities of assembly and disassembly of such a structure. Tests were also done on the resistance factors afforded by the singular bubble format. Finally, based on the previous experiment we present innovative solutions to the problem of hygrothermic comfort in humid tropical climates which substitute the thermal inertia strategy of thick, heavy building materials with the lightness of a double outer layer that holds ventilated air chambers between these layers.

For three days and two nights, I was a guest at the Tropical Islands Resort, the world's largest indoor water park. While inside, I ate the special at every one of its restaurants, drank every signature cocktail advertised, explored its perimeter in a hot-air balloon, went on all the water slides (twice), lounged in front of and within every water feature, slept in a canvas tent the first night and a junior suite the second. During my stay, the Houston metropolitan area was suffering the worst of Hurricane Harvey, the first tropical cyclone of the abnormally active 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. The floods led to the widespread loss of electricity, the death of over 106 residents, and the incurment of over $125 billion in damage. During its peak, Hurricane Harvey was the top story of several American news outlets. But I had only learned about Hurricane Harvey after leaving the Tropical Islands Resort, stopped at a red light and scrolling through my news feed for the first time in days. For three days and two nights, I was in a bubble. This thesis considers The Tropical Islands Resort as a site of aesthetic mediation, equally as mediating as any other form of popular media. The parallel histories of its precedents including greenhouses, world's fairs, theme parks, bunkers and experiments in social ecology reveal a crucial link between architectural interiority and the public response to some of the greatest challenges facing contemporary society. The Tropical Islands Resort is a testament to human ingenuity and denial thousands of years in the making, and it is absolutely a sign of things to come.

Abstract:
Des études bibliographiques montrent que la prise en compte des grandeurs climatiques dominantes du climat tropical humide et leurs effets sur un être humain sont primordiales dans l'évaluation du confort thermique. Nous proposons ainsi un indice de confort adapté à ce climat. Dans ce type de climat, une des stratégies pour améliorer la qualité thermique d'un bâtiment est l'utilisation de la ventilation naturelle. Une étude paramétrique sur l'influence des éléments architecturaux permettant d'améliorer la vitesse d'air intérieur, et ensuite le confort thermique des usagers, a été réalisée à l'aide d'une méthode numérique de type CFD. Cette étude paramétrique nous a permis de constituer la base de données utilisée pour la réalisation du modèle prédictif de détermination des coefficients de vitesse. L'étude porte sur 1' exploitation de modèles dits comportementaux, pour le calcul des coefficients de vitesse de l'air dans les bâtiments. La méthode d'évaluation de ces coefficients proposés utilise les réseaux de neurones. Nous insistons sur les difficultés rencontrées avec les modèles classiques de la mécanique des fluides lorsque l'on cherche à évaluer les coefficients de vitesse, en tenant compte d'un nombre significatif de paramètres architecturaux. Les exploitations présentées montrent que les modèles proposés fonctionnent bien et permettent d'obtenir des résultats fiables, compte tenu d'un apprentissage du réseau de neurones raisonnable en temps de calcul. Nous avons établi un code d'évaluation du confort thermique en climat tropical humide dans une structure d'accueil modulaire: TRNSYS. Ce code repose sur un modèle simplifié des phénomènes de transferts et l'intégration du calcul du coefficient Cv à l'aide des réseaux de neurones mis en jeux. L'influence des paramètres architecturaux sur le confort thermique a également été étudiée
From library studies, it is shown that the dominant climatic factors in tropical humid regions and their effect on a human being are primordial and must be considered in the thermal comfort evaluation. We propose a comfort index the most adapted with this climate. Natural ventilation is one of two strategies to provide a satisfactory level of comfort in buildings which is reliable and economical in tropical conditions. The present study on the influence of the architectural elements allowing to improve the interior air speed, and then the thermal comfort, was realized using CFD codes. The study carried on a model so-called behavioural to predict interior air velocity coefficients in buildings using artificial neural networks. Due the difficulty to evaluate the interior airflow, it was therefore decided to look at how artificial intelligence techniques might facilitate the solution of the problem involved. The utilization of neural networks as a universal predictor is an interesting subject for investigation, given their ability to provide reliable results in situations where a large number of parameters have to be taken into account simultaneously. We established a thermal comfort assessment code in humid tropical regions in the modular structure: TRNSYS. This code's computer is based on a simplified model of transfers phenomena and the integration of the interior velocity coefficient prediction using artificial neural networks. Effects of architectural parameters on thermal comfort were also presented

Abstract:
Abstract This book chapter outlines the future steps in improving the status of the tropical tuber crops: (1) reduce the period of maturity of all the TTCs to 110-150 days, (2) improve the tuber shape and make them more definitive in shape, (3) improve plant architecture to attain a harvest index of 0.70, (4) eliminate antinutritional factors and improve nutritive values, (5) impart resistance to the three major biotic problems afflicting the TTCs: CMD (cassava mosaic disease), taro leaf blight and sweet potato weevil, (6) introduce determinacy in cassava and yams, (7) increase the post-harvest storage life, (8) reduce the loss during post-harvest storage, transportation and processing, (9) use biotechnological means to alter starch characteristics like amylose content, chain length and phosphorus content in starch, (10) it is also suggested that there should be a 'starch bank', which acts as a repository of different starches and provides information on all physicochemical and functional properties for various applications to researchers and industries, and (11) an organization to carry out exclusive research on tuber starches may be established in any of the TTC-growing countries.

Abstract:
This study is focused on vernacular features from eclectic architecture from the Colombian tropics, particularly on the San Jeronimo de Monteria Cathedral, one of the most important architectural symbols from this Colombian city. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, architecture in Europe and America was characterized by a resumption of historical styles, generally called ‘revivals’, and the blend of these, ‘eclecticism’. Montería was no stranger to this situation, also assisted by national and international migrations into the territory and the adaptation of local vernacular techniques. This cathedral is explored as an example where elements from vernacular tradition are recognized, which guaranteed the operation of foreign models, especially in the bioclimatic functioning of this tropical region.

Abstract:
This research provides a timely reminder of the global significance of community-held lands and territories; their importance for the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of tropical forestlands across the world; and the critical gaps in the international development architecture that have so far undermined progress towards the legal recognition of such lands and territories. Our findings indicate that Indigenous Peoples, Afro-Descendant Peoples, and local communities customarily hold and use at least 958 million hectares (mha) of land in the 24 reviewed countries but have legally recognized rights to less than half of this area (447 mha). Their lands are estimated to store at least 253.5 Gigatons of Carbon (GtC), playing a vital role in the maintenance of globally significant greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs. However, the majority of this carbon (52 percent, or 130.6 GtC) is stored in community-held lands and territories that have yet to be legally recognized.
