Rotonda Bioclimatica

Blue: water-based approaches – stagnant, in storage or circulation.
Green: approaches using diverse forms of vegetation integrated in the design.
Grey: material and technology-based approaches: they influence the albedo of surfaces, their ability to absorb water or their surface temperature.
White: approaches based on the formal characteristics of the design favouring shade and wind currents as cooling effects.
