Why transparent architecture is not suitable in humid countries?

Sou Fujimoto, the visionary blending architecture with nature, eyes the future

Though his masterpieces would be worth evaluating, I guess they are not suitable for Japan's climate.
What features climate in East Asia during summer is high humidity and high temperature.
It's dubious that his architecture surrounded by glass gives us comfortable environment.
Most of the transparent walls absorb sunlight and raise temperature inside the house like greenhouse.
So, at least, his architecture mustn't be actually used in Japan.
