Houses in Costa Rica: Creating Shelter, Ventilation, and Shade Using Wood and Metal
"Here in the tropics, shade is the prime air conditioner and, unlike the stove, it can be created everywhere," says Bruno Stagno about architecture for the tropics. In this sense, how has Costa Rica been "building" it's shade over the years?
