Resumo
This paper provides an account and analysis of the methods and instruments used for measuring climate in architecture focusing on the late modern period from c. 1800 to the present. The methods were classified after identifying two major trends according to their ultimate objective: measuring the external dimension of climate (meteorological statistics and facts about temperature, humidity, wind, sun radiation, or/and pollution) and measuring the internal dimension of climate (Healthcare outcomes and climate narratives). This report provides key examples, and evidence of their impact over human experience. Revealing a neglected inner dimension that needs a cultural approach to be measured.
Climate is experienced on a local and particular level as individuals feel, embody, and are engaged with the rhythms of their environment in a visceral and emotional way that statistics alone cannot register. As climate is not only the temperature of the air, and as climate is chained to land, vegetation, animals, and life, new hybrid methods for measuring simultaneously its inner and external dimensions are needed. New methods that can collect, and interpret climatic data tandem to human well-being and their sensorial environments.
