Klima Polis 3 explores climate-adapted architecture across the diverse regions of the Iberian Peninsula, revealing how orientation, form, materiality, and urban design have historically responded to local environmental conditions. Through a rich selection of vernacular, historical, and contemporary case studies, the book demonstrates how architecture can address climate change not only through technology, but through design intelligence rooted in place.
Written by architect and scholar Javier García-Germán, whose research has been exhibited internationally and developed through a major research project at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, this volume offers architects a compelling alternative to purely technical notions of sustainability. As part of the acclaimed Klima Polis series, it presents climate-responsive typologies as a powerful framework for the future of architecture and urbanism.
