You will be allocated a location in Australia or New Zealand. You will research the climate of the location and then find examples of traditional designs and building systems from places in other parts of the world with similar climates. Demonstrate how the environmental and cultural factors influence the design of traditional house in your similar region and how it can be applied and implemented to housing at your location in Australia. These examples should be analysed for any lessons that might be used in passive solar housing in your given location

Before mechanical space heating and cooling were available, traditional housing developed a natural harmony with the climate and had as a consequence, a minimal carbon footprint. With global warming, we are returning to ecologically sustainable and climatically appropriate building designs. Particularly in this assignment, we will be looking at housing designs, in climatically diverse locations within Australia, investigating appropriate solutions for that location from elsewhere in the world that will have a minimum carbon footprint. You will be focusing on traditional solutions (say prior to 1900’s) from around the world, in similar climatic locations; to derive possible solutions to the location you will be assigned. Your allocated location is; Winton Queensland you are to become familiar with its particular climatic constraints. You are then to investigate other locations around the world in similar climates and discover the type of traditional housing that developed to solve their particular needs for warmth (or cooling) and shelter
