Abstract:
One of the most complex and problematic issues of our time, in order to reduce pollution and consumption of conventional energy resources, inclines the construction of human habitat in harmony with nature. Solution of the problem is to design buildings according to the principles and methods of bioclimatic architecture, which indicates the concept of designing buildings as an integral part of the environment.This is certainly not a new approach, since old civilizations built their habitats by these methods. Nevertheless, previous century architects, influenced by industrial revolution, were loyal to new technologies and rarely took into account the impact of their design on the environment or psychological impact on the residents of the city as a result of nature's suspension. By insisting on design standards that have faced away from nature, architecture has created environmental problems and lost communication with people. Furthermore, components that are produced in order to use natural energy sources, such as photo voltaic panels, solar collectors, thermal glass, and etc., that can be used for the final appearance of the building, are generally treated by the architects, as included rather than expressive elements.In developed countries, where over population is one of the biggest problems, the concept of "return to nature" is a renewal of the green area, destroyed for building of facilities, by creating gardens as an integral part architecture or by creating the architecture as a part of a garden.Applied to the topic of this report, the identification of a new aesthetics of public buildings, designed in the spirit of bioclimatic architecture, aim is to explore their structure and form as a value occurred when the architect manages to harmonize the life of nature and architecture in the mutual appreciation.
