Book Description

The first comprehensive book on wind towers Wind towers in architecture provide the means for natural ventilation within a structure. They are vital architectural elements in complexes such as offices, shopping malls, sports arenas, and theatres, both improving the overall atmosphere within the structure and reducing energy consumption. This is a unique step-by-step guide to the design development of modern wind towers for low energy architecture. Complete with detailed case studies from leading firms and technical information on construction, Wind Towers is an essential practical reference on this increasingly important architectural element.

Synopsis

The Detail in Building series is an essential source of contemporary data covering the key elements of building design that form the vocabulary of current architecture. Each is clearly analysed, both historically and in terms of recent examples by key practices around the world. The combination of building context, design aesthetics and technical solution, as revealed in the case studies, is highly informative as well as unique in a field where specific technical quality of design detailing is often insufficiently exposed by the superficial presentation of designs. Wind Towers is the sixth title in the series. From the earliest times, buildings, including igloos, adobe huts, and even termitaries, have been designed to utilise natural conditions for heating, cooling and ventilation. Today, as structures become larger and lighter, there has been an increasing need for a better understanding of wind behaviour. This has been achieved through knowledge gained from the aeronautical industry, which has provided more accurate wind data and airflow-testing facilities.

Ecological concerns also call for better methods of harnessing the free energy available from the environment as an alternative to harmful and expensive artificial air-conditioning systems. This book looks at techniques using natural forces to control temperature and ventilation by means of wind-driven devices such as wind towers and wind scoops. These are analysed and compared in terms of their advantages and applications. Historical models dating back as far as the ancient Egyptian era are cited as precedents, whilst the eighteen case studies provide contemporary examples of the various combinations of solutions that can be applied to a diverse range of buildings in different climates and conditions.

Einleitungssatz
Architecture is increasingly being designed to utilise the free energy available from the environment, with the result that climatic forces are more and more responsible for shaping a new generation of structures. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Useful from basics and theory to practical examples and guid 30. Juni 2001
Von Hal Levin - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This book tells the would-be natural ventilation designer what s/he needs to know and how to do it. It is a compact presentation that captures the most important information for those who would reject mechanical ventilation or at least rely on it only rarely. It is very nicely illustrated and presents technical information in an easily understandable form. I recommend it to architects, engineers, and serious students of building technology.
