T/HICIA 002-2025 Guidelines for the Design of Characteristic Architectural Styles in Tropical Regions
Basic Information
Scope
The main technical content of this guideline focuses on the core elements of architectural landscape shaping in tropical regions, with an emphasis on establishing a four-dimensional coordinated system of "climate response - landscape composition - material technology - green intelligent manufacturing". The guideline systematically sorts out the adaptive principles of architectural design under tropical climate conditions, proposes passive technical paths such as shading, ventilation, heat insulation, and drainage; in terms of landscape shaping, it constructs an overall coordination mechanism for tropical architecture from the aspects of building volume, facade, roof, color, materials, and landscape; in terms of materials and construction, it clarifies the selection and process adaptation requirements of regional materials such as bamboo, volcanic stone, prefabricated concrete, and coconut shell composite materials; at the same time, it introduces intelligent construction and management concepts to promote low-carbon, information-based, and integrated design throughout the entire life cycle of buildings. Through a combination of qualitative guidance and quantitative control, the guideline provides systematic technical support and actionable implementation basis for architectural design in tropical regions.
