Whilst in Australia, I took the opportunity to gather some valuable primary source research of shading devices and passive cooling techniques. These cooling techniques are a integral part of architecture in Australia due to the hot weather and year round sun. The architectural designs gathered all abide to modernist ideologies being clean cut and made from simple materials such as mesh and steel. They include a variety of innovative solutions to the retainment of temperature within a building, these include some movable or rotating features which can be activated or deactivated depending on season or time of day.
These modern styles, are what I envision for my own outhouse concept and therefore, they will be a valuable source of reference to turn to when conceptualising my idea in sketch or digital form.
