North, South, East and West: The Environmental Approach to Transparent Design

Architecture has always been interested in transparency but this characteristic has strong implications for energy performance. For many years architecture has neglected this factor but today, in a time when society has developed an awareness of the carbon footprint, architecture must restructure i...
