Hello Cherry! It's great that you were able to schedule a visit to the monastery in spite of the strict pandemic protocols there. I find this remarkable building (meditation hall) below as the most beautiful one there as it clearly stands out from the rest of the surrounding traditional Chinese-inspired architecture.
The vertical wooden louvers give it a modern appeal and definitely shield its interiors from the harmful rays of the sun during extremely hot seasons, What other creative ideas do you have in mind to enhance the existing green landscapes of that landmark @cherryng?
Thank you @storiesoferne. I'm happy that you read my post.
Yes, agreed that the vertical wooden louvers shield the interior from direct sun and hot weather. For current urban design trend, the green roofs and green walls are proposed for most of the projects. There are good ideas in terms of climate change, global warming and sea level rising.
Thank you. Stay safe, my friend. Have a nice day!
Certainly, @cherryng, green walls and green roofs have effectively become innovative solutions to add the refreshing ambiance of nature to our built environments. They're not just urban design trends but are definitely sustainable ways of making our world a better place. Thank you and take care my friend!
