Ask about the climate!?

Question

1) Is architecture affected by climate? how?

2) Transportation is determined by climate? how?

Give me some ideas please!

Answer 1

Most definitely.

The kind of heating/cooling system in a building will be based on the climate. The roof structural strength will be based on how much snow may accumulate. The amount of precipitation will affect the design of a buildings drainage system.

Convertibles are popular in San Diego, but not so much in Toronto Canada.  Bicycle lanes are much more prevalent in areas with less precipitation and more moderate temperatures, than cold wet areas.

Answer 2

I don't know much, but I do know that architecture is affected by climate in that if a building is in a snowy area, it will have a slanted roof so that the snow roles off the roof instead of caving in on the building. Climate may also affect architecture in that if the building is in a sunny area, the building may have lots of windows to utilize the light.

I Hope you get the answer ur looking for!  =)
