Natural and artificial filters on Restaurant la Balsa [365]
Intermediate space protected by a sliding canopy and a deciduous vine plant. Both protect us against the direct rays of the sun, allowing ventilation to reduce its own temperature, thus preventing long-wave radiation that would heat the ambient. In addition, the white fabric allows more sunlight reflection.
On the other hand it is not prepared for cold months; because even slow breeze cools what the weak winter sun can heat. It could be improved if surrounded and/or covered with glass, allowing external visuals, and taking advantage of the greenhouse effect.
