Tropical Architecture Purpose

 Tropical Architecture Goal


The main objective of this architectural style is to best adapt the building to a tropical environment, create a comfortable space to live in and use for various daily activities and reduce the use of air conditioning and lighting energy.



The building design is expected to be passive (formally and mechanically) to create a comfortable space, keep it cool and bright during the day and not easily damaged by heat and rain.

Designing a house that is passive against a cool tropical environment, starts with location analysis, determines the position and orientation of the mass, determines the shape of the building, the shape of the roof, the position of the windows, materials, colors and so on.

Therefore, architects often combine tropical architectural styles with other styles and will become mixed styles such as Modern Tropical Architecture, Contemporary Tropical, Tropical Traditional, Minimalist Tropical Architecture and many other examples.
