    Study of Climatically Responsive Buildings: Subject: Recourse Conserving Architecture

    The document discusses the Parekh House located in Ahmedabad, India, which was designed to be responsive to the local hot and dry climate. The key passive design features include a stepped pyramidal form to provide shaded areas that are used differently in summer and winter. Louvers, recessed windows, and overhangs help shade walls and reduce heat gain. The thick brick and concrete construction also keep interiors cool. The design has proven effective at conserving resources over 37 years since construction by passively responding to the local climatic conditions.
