"What about covering my microterrace with horrible white bricks and mismatching plaster?"
"Yyyeah, that sounds alright. Are your mates gonna do that too?"
"Sure are"
"Awesome, right on"

HL3?

@lynne old euro architecture is so ugly and impractical

islamic architecture doesn’t NEED a/c units

@mia @lynne
In the US during the victorian era we just made the windows really tall so the hot air would rise out the top and the bottom of the window could stay closed.
People also surrounded their house with plants rather than lawns so there was less sun hitting the house.

@mia @lynne I wonder how effective these things would be in SEA where humidity is pretty strong

@koakuma @lynne you can increase the surface area for the incoming humid air to dump its latent heat into i guess

the sound area might even be somewhat beneficial with that population density? idk how feasible it might’ve been to turn lake washington into a giant heat sink lol

@nuukaset @lynne another thing i don’t like is having assigned rooms for everything. like, just move your sleeping stuff to the room that’s actually comfy instead of too hot during summer or too cold during winter
