Guidelines for Tropical Design and Expression

 

Architecture has the potential and the possibility of capturing the content of experiential associations and of contemplating environmental and human contingencies. This is the case with tropical architectures, which are perceived as disruptive because they demand to be reflected upon in order to be appreciated.

 

Familiarity with this new regionalized aesthetic is achieved when the observer becomes reflective and has the will to include the environment and the circumstances of the project in their analysis. In this analysis, it is important to consider the process that the architect had in the face of the challenge, as well as the adequate conceptualization of the constructed response. Without considering these circumstances, the appreciation of the architecture will be partial and incomplete, the observer being ignorant of the reality of the environment in which the design takes place.
