"The 140 tropical countries are home to about 34% of the Earth's population and they account for a much larger share of current world population growth than mid- and high-latitude countries." (Hallé, 2010)
The notion of "tropicality" has long been ignored by economists, historians and geographers (Hallé, 2010), yet the sense of familiarity that one finds or is in this area of "low latitudes" is very present. Hallé quotes some invariants; "the presence of coconut trees along the maritime coasts is one of the marks of the entire tropical belt, outside of which these trees can at best only survive".
This tropism and the context of environmental crisis are the foundations of our architectural thinking. This has led us to reflect on the concept of bioclimatic architecture in a tropical environment, which is the basis of our conceptual approach.
