This type of architecture aims when designing obtain conditions of internal comfort, and so substantially increase our standard of living. This can be achieved by making the most of our surroundings, using climate, microclimate, positioning, winds, humidity, underground streams, tellurian currents, electromagnetic fields and of course a good choice of materials to give us a personalised solution for a house integrated into its environment, cheaper, more pleasant and above all ‘healthier'.

The choice of materials undergoes a thorough analysis, taking into account not only the layout but also their behaviour and complete life cycle. From both the economic and the ecological point of view it is interesting to know how the life of a material unfolds, from its origin to how it is produced, how it lives, how it dies and how it goes back to nature.

Using only architecture and without any additional complex systems we can obtain a level of comfort which in many places would be sufficient without having to resort to using conventional, or in the best cases, alternative energy supplies.

Without necessarily increasing the initial investment in the construction, a bioclimatic house can save a high percentage of energy costs both in heating and in cooling by using passive and purely architectonic devices to collect the energy Nature offers us.

Who hasn't felt the warmth in a south-facing glass gallery in winter? Or the coolness on entering a village house in the middle of August?
