Every region in the world has a specific climatic behavior. Some places might be too hot or too cold, and some others are in between or both. That is why the architecture of the place is different among each other, and they are not adaptable to all weather conditions. Many architects and designers are not aware of this sensitivity, or maybe they want to be a stereotype rather than monotype. Globalization for sure is the main reason why the designers have forgotten their tradition approaches in building a shelter. However, there are still many genuine designers practicing the real understanding of regional architecture. Some of them arguably really good and succeeded in converging trend and place constraints in architecture. I called this scenario as a battle of the copy and paste architects versus genuine and realistic architects.   My writing here is not meant to educate people. I just want to share my little understanding and knowledge about tropical building design. Ge
