Placing vernacular knowledge at the forefront of climate-responsive design, this book deals with the UN’s SDG 11 mandate for inclusive, safe, and resilient cities. The volume also reviews how millennia-old building traditions can decarbonise construction and fortify communities against escalating climate risks. Comprising case studies, and pertinent infographics, it equips practitioners, educators, and decision-makers with the scientific rigour and persuasive language necessary to leverage vernacular intelligence for decarbonisation, equity, and cultural continuity. It is simultaneously an academic contribution, a design manual, and an urgent rallying cry for a planet-positive built environment.

Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture is a guide to innovative architectural design for architects, engineers and other specialists who are working with biophilic and bioclimatic architectural concepts.

Biophilic and Bioclimatic Architecture has three parts: • Part I focuses on the relationship between architecture and human needs and the creation process, demonstrating the meaning of architectural value in architectural hypothesis. • Part II opens the way towards a new understanding of biophilic architecture as a response to the negative actions of humans and the negative effects of using natural resources. • Part III shows the benefits of combining the effects of the climate with the notion of human comfort in bioclimatic architecture.
