Learning From Manaus: Getting to Know the Work of Laurent Troost Architecture
Architecture involves mobilizing several aspects of the environment where the building is located: the socio-cultural, political and economic context, aesthetics, legislation, and functionality.

His projects prioritize natural ventilation over artificial air conditioning, which has become almost mandatory in current city models.
