How can an ecoregion affect the architecture design?

This is a question that we always ask ourselves whenever we are working on a project located in a ‘new’ ecoregion. [Ecoregion is defined as areas of land-or water- having distinct geographical characteristics, and a specific assemble of species, fauna and flora]

Here is an example of how we tackled this issue. We compared Coastal Mangrove & Acacia Savannah Ecoregions. As the two ecoregions have different environmental characteristics these variations were portrayed in the architecture where we proposed different solutions specific to each area.
