Peter Bertram - The Drafty House – The Beginnings of a Fourth Typology slide 3 of 2

‘The Drafty House’ shows how architectural typology can bring together the best examples of architectural archetypes and creates a framework where experiences from past building traditions can meet new ideas. This aspect is crucial, whether one is transforming the existing building stock or constructing new buildings. We can use typology to consider how architecture remains meaningful when our current world is replaced by a new one. Presenting new projects alongside historical works from cultures that understand a building’s climate as a dynamic and open concept, the book is illustrated with material experiments, contemporary exhibition projects, and more.
