THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS IN URBAN DESIGN
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the problems of bioclimatic architecture that derives its traditions from the distant past. Urban settlements aligned with the landscape often benefitted from natural environmental factors pragmatically and symbolically. Nowadays, practice of using solar or wind energy and water in building development becomes more common. The paper presents examples of urban solutions, which use natural environmental factors e.g. to optimize the energy consumption or drinking water in particular urban areas. They fit into the mainstream of Ecological Urbanism, which in the era of climate change in the world has the opportunity to provide for the development of future-oriented architecture environment
