Local Adaptation
Gianni Botsford discused the importance of local adaptation in architecture, emphasising the power of natural sunlight in his designs. His projects often commence with a deep analysis of the sun and its impact on the site, allowing him to create spaces that are visually stunning, as light becomes a design element.
Notably, his Garden House in London exemplifies this approach, where the interplay the sunlight is framed and manipulated to create a dynamic and ever-changing interior environment.
