Nature today is clearly no longer outside human action, having become something carefully managed, skillfully staged, artificially maintained. Instead it is now a question of how far we can and will engage a spectrum of materiality that encompasses the parameters of nature itself, including its climates. Analyze your key study site using nearby environmental data and develop set of design strategies which will help to integrate architecture into surrounding climatic context. Pick two environmental parameters for a specific period of time: -Sun Path on the site -Amount of Sunlight -Wind direction -Wind Spe
