Abstract

This paper presents a comparative case study of climatic influences on housing design in Charleston, South Carolina and Changsha, China. In the first part, the paper compares the prevailing climate in these two cities in terms daily maximum, average and minimum temperatures and relative humidity plotted on Olgyay’s Bioclimatic Chart. In the second part vernacular architecture of housing is the focus to explore the influences of the prevailing climate on architecture in the two cities. The traditional typical house in Charleston is taken to be the single-family “shot gun” with a side yard. The counterpart in Changsha is six-story apartment house, which is a pervasive typology for housing in China. These two typical house types are analyzed at both the in neighborhood-to-building cluster scales, such as community planning, spatial patterns and street layout, as well as building-to-building component scales where density, function, windows, balcony and construction technology are focused on. In the conclusion the findings of the comparative case study is presented on a matrix where similarities and differences in housing observed are speculated on using determinants such as climate, culture, economic and social factors.
