Studies in
physics.
An atlas of problems rather than a portfolio of buildings. Each entry takes one climate, one typology and one governing phenomenon, and works the section until the physics makes sense.
Please note
Every entry below is a self-directed study. None describes a client, a site, a built project or a measured result, and no performance figures, savings or certifications are claimed anywhere in this atlas.

Warm, humid, and wet for months. The envelope that survives it is mostly about drying.
