Field Observation from Building Physics Perspective Blog
Climate → Nature → Human → Culture → Architecture → Cityscape
Explore real-world observations through the lens of building physics.
From climate and nature to human behavior, culture, architecture, and cityscapes, discover how environmental conditions shape the performance, comfort, sustainability, and experience of the built environment.

Observing Passive Design in Practice: Lessons from The Commons Thonglor, Bangkok
The Commons Mall in Bangkok is the sample of Passive Design Building in Tropical Climate. Passive Design Architecture is aim to minimise carbon footprint and energy use. Passive Design Architecture be achieved through using natural material, optimizing natural cooling from natural and mechanical ventilation and daylight optimization.
