Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, grade: 12, language: English, abstract: Most of the times when Sun and Architecture are placed in the same context, the thing that comes first in people's mind is High-Technology and glass skyscrapers. The most need of natural light and energy appeared in the public edifices. By reason of using too much energy for basic needs in a building, architects and engineers found alternative eco-friendly solutions that can be used in both private and public sectors. Over time people realized that those solutions are too expensive to wait years for payback. As a consequence, in some parts of the world people and designers raised the question "How to use as much sun as possible without spending money?". The answer stood in simplicity and appeared soon after the question: "ancient solution applied to a new, modern problem - strategic solar building orientation".
