Planning and realization of buildings within hot-humid regions (tropical climate) can be considered as challenging. Amongst the enumerous aspects to be considered, climatic and socio-cultural boundary conditions need to be considered, as well as technical and organisatorial constraints. Moreover, the specific needs of the adressed user groups (the later occupants of a planned buildings) require special attention.
This module offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary introduction to technical, socio-cultural, and proceudral aspects of this domain. As such, the presented contents are meant to enable students to consider the special settings of planning in a foreign region with different boundary conditions of manifold character. Specifically, the Indonesian archipelo will be considered. This region is charcterized by cultural diversity, rich and sensitive biodiversity, immanent danger of natural disasters, and its' steep and split-to-many-islands topography. Needless to say, these boundary conditions have a strong impact on planning and building processes. Moreover, the region is considered to be one of the regions of the world that will be severly affected by climate change.
In this lecture we will elaborate onto technical/scientific aspects of the overall topic.
