A comparative reading of two public buildings that shape their indoor climate with their roofs: the Senedd Cymru in Cardiff, where a wind cowl and a glazed lantern draw air up through the debating chamber, and the Gifu Media Cosmos in Japan, where timber funnels filter daylight and ventilate the reading floor. Site, season and system are drawn side by side.
