Climate Report, Ecologically and climatically appropriate housing design.

You will be allocated a location in Australia or New Zealand. You will research the climate of the location and then find examples of traditional designs and building systems from places in other parts of the world with similar climates.

Demonstrate how the environmental and cultural factors influence the design of traditional house in your similar region and how it can be applied and implemented to housing at your location in Australia. These examples should be analysed for any lessons that might be used in passive solar housing in your given location.

This will be done through:

1. A written submission; 12-14 pages of text with extra pages for diagrams and photographs.
