Students perspective on sustainable tropical architectural ideas

Books on tropical architecture normally based on the architectural idea as revealed by the traditional architecture solutions. The environment during that time was different. It was less developed thus was more natural. The less complex building scale seem to fit nicely within the environment that s...
