In the old ages, buildings were constructed corresponding to their climate and environment. However, after emergence of modern architecture, everything changed environmental elements which made life beautiful, like wind, sunlight and rain and dependence on mechanical ventilation systems increased rapidly. Therefore, it is clear that traditional solutions should also be changed along with modern considerations, just as traditional louvers have been replaced by modern solar louvers.
