PLANNING OF COURTYARDS: Strategically placed courtyards improve the building's ability to control its microclimate by allowing cool air from below to flow through the apertures of the rooms around the courtyard as a result of incident solar radiation warming the air in the enclosed, open area to the sky.

ROOF: The double roof may be the effective remedy for hot, humid climates. It is possible to insulate and provide the inner layer of the ceiling a reflective upper surface. Maximum 4°C air temperature is recommended for the inner surface. Veranda should be used as a passageway for air vented through the double roof, keeping the living area out of it.

ROOM ARRANGEMENTS: Because the thermal load is related to the structure's orientation, a room on the east side will typically be warm in the morning and cool down in the afternoon if it has little thermal mass. In contrast, the west-facing rooms are cooler in the morning and tend to warm up in the afternoon. If the right shading devices are installed, rooms that typically face north and south will stay cool. (Roux, n.d.) The east side of the structure can be used to designate bedrooms because it stays cool in the evenings, while the west side can be used to designate storage areas. Moreover, because it is used most often in the morning and afternoon, the kitchen should be situated on the west side. Additionally, either the east or west side may be where the principal rooms are situated. The main building area should be separated from heated rooms like the kitchen, yet they can be connected by sharing a roof.

2.3 INFLUENCE OF CULTURE ON ARCHITECTURE

Language, art, and architecture are examples of cultural manifestations that reveal a society's culture. Each community's architecture contributes to its sense of self and communicates its culture. It is dependent on the community's history, geography, cultures, customs, etiquette, and knowledge. The act of designing a space that is impacted by knowledge, beauty, and design results in architecture. Experience from the distant past to the present has produced culture. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehend how space and culture interact in order to comprehend the relationship between culture and architecture.

Although it seems simple, making space in architecture is actually rather difficult. It is undeniable that the environment has an impact on people. Humans make the conscious decision to not adapt to their natural surroundings, and as a result, they build an artificial world in which to exist. Various
