Arquitectura bioclimàtica básica: ¿Qué es la inercia térmica?
Un cuerpo, dependiendo de su masa y composición, presenta determinada capacidad de acumular el calor de la radiación solar, y liberarlo con mayor o menor velocidad.
En la costa, el mar tiene más inercia térmica que el terreno de la costa, por lo que durante la noche se mantiene más caliente que la playa, y, durante el día, más fresco. La diferencia de temperaturas del aire sobre el mar y la costa provoca que el aire frío tienda a sustituir al aire caliente, que se eleva po su menor densidad, produciéndose las brisas marinas, de mar a tierra. Por la noche, el efecto se invierte.
Los gruesos muros de mampostería de piedra en las casas antiguas, o las paredes de las cuevas, presentan, por efecto de su gran inercia térmica, una temperatura fresca durante el día y liberan calor durante la noche, compensando la temperatura ambiental y ofreciendo sensación de confort.
Los proyectos de arquitectura acumulan experiencia en la incorporación de técnicas y soluciones constructivas en sus proyectos y obras, basándose en estas propiedades, que permiten obtener un apoyo pasivo y limpio a los sistemas convencionales de confort ambiental: Cubiertas con estanques de agua, "Muros Trombe", Fachadas ventiladas, cubiertas ajardinadas...En estos momentos, cualquier despacho de arquitectura debe mostrarse cada vez más comprometido con la calidad medioambiental de la construcción en sus proyectos y obras.

Feliz 115 cumpleaños, Alvar Aalto. [Via feedly] (( tag: arquitectura))
Alvar Aalto, born February 3,1898, would have turned 115 years old today. Known for his humanistic approach to modernism, Aalto was concerned about creating a total work of art. He did not simply design buildings but also paid close attention to their interior features including furniture, lamps, and glassware design.
His architectural style began with Nordic Classicism and moved to International Style Modernism, and eventually evolved into a more synthetic and personal Modernism. He was one of the first and most influential architects of the Scandinavian modern movement. Aalto remains one of the greatest names in modern architecture.
To celebrate Aalto’s birth, we invite you to look back at his impressive collection of works:
• AD Classics: Villa Mairea
• AD Classics: MIT Baker House Dormitory
• AD Classics: Jyvaskyla University
• AD Classics: Muuratsalo Experimental House
• AD Classics: Wolfsburg Cultural Center

Próxima exposición en el MOMA : Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Life [via feedly]
MoMA’s upcoming exhibition Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Light celebrates the impact of this 19th century architect on space, materials, luminosity and on great places of assembly. The exhibition will run from March 10th to June 24th, 2013 and will be the first solo exhibition of Labrouste’s work in the United States.
More on ‘Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Light’ after the break.
Labrouste’s architecture pushed the capabilities of materials and building technologies. The sublime reading rooms of the two Parisian libraries, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève (1838–50) and the Bibliothèque nationale (1859–75) evoke a drama created by exposed metal frameworks, thin masonry walls, and stunning luminosity. 
The exhibit will feature over 200 works from watercolors and original drawings to photographs, flims and architectural models and will be divided into three sections that will trace different developments in Labrouste’s career. Part one will cover 1818-1938, tracing Labrouste’s philosophy of architecture and practice in ancient Rome and modern Paris. He developed notions on architecture as being an accumulation of histories that followed the evolution of society. This portion of the exhibit also looks into the way in which Labrouste looked at public ceremonies. 
The second section of the exhibit covers the principal works of architecture in his career through drawings, analytical models, and photographs. The final section will examine the legacy of Labrouste’s career, featuring works of an array of architects such as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Pier Luigi Nervi.
