Average Customer Ratings:
Tropical Design is not an established architectural style, but a collective description of architecture and interior design in tropical countries, designed by architects from around the equator. Rooted in the traditional style of architecture that is typical in these countries and influenced by the European modern style, a unique architectural lunguage has developed that reflects contemporary tendencies and corresponds to the climatic requirements. As multifaceted as nature in the tropical regions, the architecture in the projects presented here is just as diversified. From " Las Terrazas" by Legoretta+Legoretta glowing under the Mexican sun to the romantic "Anantara" on the Maledives Island to the spacious and modern "LPVM House" by Biselli e Katchborian in Brasil - the book offers a small insight into the contemporary style from tropical countries. An index of contact information of the designer and architects is enclosed.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Not just thatched roofs -
I don't know that there is an 'official' definition for 'Tropical' architecture. Yet mention 'Tropical Architecture' and an open air bamboo structure with thatched roof comes to mind. Yet when you actually travel to the tropics, that's just the structures designed to fit the preconceived notions that tourists already have. In real life, the banks, offices, manufacturing plants, and whatever are not built this way.
This book, another of Daab's excellent idea books shows a wide assortment of buildings built in tropical environments from around the world. The buildings reflect the peaceful climates of the locations: lots of open air access, much glass, lots of water often in pools that often lead to the ocean, perhaps directly, perhaps just visually.
As you would expect, here are some spectacular designs with virtually every architectural model shown in some form or another. Yes, there are even thatched roofs and beds with mosquito netting.
