Abstract

Architecture, before casting its sublime plastic and aesthetic shed adding to cultural fabric, provides shelter as a response to an aggressive surrounding, as interpreted by human beings. There is then a practical utility in its origin. It follows that a building should operate efficiently to fulfill this primary goal. Architecture is a public art that has its origin in the need for shelter; then it is only caustic for it to consider the environment and energy ratios in its interpretation and to promote a friendly dialogue there too.

Keywords. Architecture; energy; comfort
