Between Architecture and Climate: A Bioclimatic Approach
1.1. Introduction
When André De Herde takes his place at the microphone, we feel that the air thickens with respect and expectation. “André is one of the pioneers of what is called bioclimatism,” Robert Célaire introduces him, also describing him as “professor emeritus, engineer architect, doctor and author of several books on bioclimatic architecture”. These words bring me back to the time when I arrived at an agency as a young graduate engineer-architect from Leuven (not to be confused with Louvain-La-Neuve, which is also in Belgium), and my boss presented me with the Bioclimatic Architecture Guide: Volume 2 as required reading. Without knowing it, André De Herde had a great influence on my architectural approach and production.
