SUMMER DAY CONDITION (Trombe Wall)The process by which water bodies lose heat by thermal radiation is known as radiative cooling. The system is designed to accomodate the radiative cooling of the water body by rotating the shading units to their open position. Deep, clear night sky conditions are optimal for the system and process to work eciently. Both convective and evaporative latent heat transportation are vital to removing heat from the water and redistributing it in the atmosphere.

In the 15th century the Incas were experimenting various ways to improve the cultivation of agriculture. Terrace farming has been around for centuries, and the reasoning behind doing it is that it decreases erosion and runoff. The subtractive architecture of the Inca people is astonishing as it is at such a enormous scale. Tne spatial relationship be-tween these three terrace step-wells is intriguing becauase they all relate to one another and the site. They are con-formed to the site and they all speak to one another.
