    The Parekh House in Ahmedabad, India designed by Charles Correa in 1967-68 uses passive design strategies to respond to the local hot and dry climate. It consists of two pyramidal sections - a summer section used during the day that protects the interior from heat, and a winter section used in mornings and evenings that opens to the sky. Bearing walls are made of brick, and features include overhanging pargolas, recessed windows, louvers, and a stepped pyramidal form to manage sun exposure and airflow throughout the different seasons. The design has remained climatically responsive for over 37 years since its construction.
