In this age of climate change and rising global temperatures, Filipino architects can't afford to be passive about passive cooling. It is such a basic principle of architecture that designing poorly-ventilated structures could only come from two things—gross ignorance and indifference. On the cover is BAAD Studio's Opposite House, a cool tropical home with no pretensions. The firm’s principals, Benjee Mendoza and An Bermejo, provide their clients what many of their contemporaries and elders neglect—the most basic, physiological need of relief from physical discomfort.

Also in this issue is BluPrint’s exclusive feature on the rehabilitation of an old war tunnel hidden under the modern and bustling Bonifacio Global City, and an in-depth interview with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, whose body of work demonstrates an exceptional level of craftsmanship guided by a profound respect and reverence for nature’s elements.
