Bioclimatic responsiveness of La Casa de Luis Barragán, Mexico City, Mexico
The Casa – Estudio Luis Barragán, Mexico City, Mexico is a celebrated architectural work. The building and its site were enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. The building is renowned for its innovative architectural features; however, little research can be found on its environmental performance of this building. The building is constructed mainly of high capacitive materials, large walled garden, and a number of courtyards, which provide thermal strategies appropriate to the cool high-altitude climate. As yet, little data have been collected on the thermal performance of this house. The paper makes an original contribution in this respect and argues that the often ignored bioclimatic aspects of the building underpin the pragmatic and poetic design aspects and these should be recognized as part of its cultural heritage and conservation.
