| summary |
This paper presents the premise of collective behaviour of singular units as a design asset in an urban environment. The collaborative effect of building shapes, surface texture and the order of buildings on wind patterns in the urban were explored and analysed. The results revealed that these three factors are imperative to effectively design airflow and air velocity to create cooling effects in warm urban environments. This study intends to solve the problem of compact building blocks which create stagnant air in outdoor urban spaces that worsens outdoor urban thermal comfort. As the study involves a large scale urban area which requires tremendous simulation time, this paper would also demonstrate an attempt for an alternative workflow in studying computational fluid dynamic (CFD) through utilizing Houdini, which is an animation software to predict wind flow patterns in an urban context in a faster way which is highly beneficial for conceptual design stage. The paper explains the setup of Houdini working interface which enables the researcher to compare simulation results of varying models with ease via the switch button, and further improve simulation speed by disabling the need of remeshing the original model. |
