Their traditional structure typically relies on the front fa\u00e7ade for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/daylight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daylight<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/natural-ventilation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ventilation<\/a>.
