> Sense of Place, Bioclimatic Architecture, Energy
Conscious Design, Water Management
Architecture should make use of natural renewable resources to offer a healthy and accessible built environment, reducing the use of mechanical systems for cooling and heating. Architecture should also consider the physical features of a place and be able to improve or make evident the existing qualities or atmospheres in which a new architecture is going to be set. That was the scope for the design of the museum dedicated to the local artist Santiago Ydañez, in Puente de Génave (Spain). By using Olgyay's and Milne-Givoni's bioclimatic and psychrometric charts, we analyzed local climate data, including solar exposure and radiation, temperature, rainfall, wind, and humidity, to determine the optimal building orientation and maximize passive environmental energy gains. The four natural elements - Sun, Wind, Earth, and Water - directly impact architecture, resulting in improved energetic savings during both winter and summer. Technological, economic, and environmental issues coexist; place, climate, and architecture represent the unity of human and natural dynamics. The building and the hill are modelled according to three axes: the “Wind-Axis”, which allows the summer breeze to enter, the “Sun-Axis”, which follows the sun's path, and the “History-Axis”, directed towards the historical part of the town. The building's layout, with its simple and functional room distribution and connections, allows for the simultaneous performance of various activities related to the exposition, production, and maintenance of the works of art. Most indoor spaces offer a direct visual connection to the hill landscape, capturing the area's unique atmosphere. The rooms showcasing local artist Santiago Ydañez's works, however, have an intimate feel: a stairway alongside a slope made of the same earth as the surrounding hills leads from the bright hall to a darker, more contemplative and spacious environment.
