INTRODUCTION_ This portfolio is a summary of design & investigation work developed during the third semester studio of the Architecture and Extreme Environments course, at the Institute of Architecture and Technology, in the Royal Danish Academy - School of Architecture.

The studio aims to investigate contexts that may be described as Extreme Environments : ones where environmental, political or social complexities arise, and have subsequently important impact on the built environment in the area.

In this case, the studied context is Torshavn, in the Faroe Islands, a site of high interest for the program : as one of the world’s most remote countries, but also one where the climate can be extremely powerful, with wind speeds casually reaching 17 m/s.

INFORMATION GATHERING _ PHASE ONE

4 INFO

Torshavn Old Town Author

The information gathering phase consists of a studio group assembly of different types of information on the studied context, in this case : The Faroe Islands, in order to generate as much knowledge about the context as possible.

The gathered data is presented in the form of Infographics, and is susbequently used as a reference in developing the core element of the AEE research process : prototypes and devices.

PREFACE_ This project aims to investigate potential existing links between Faroethe Islands urban developement of cities and environmental conditions of the site context, mainly focusing on wind velocities as a tool to understand old forms of Architecture, while speculating about the future applications of such knowledge in new Urbanism and Architecture.

URBAN COMFORT IN THE FAROES : CONJECTURES & GAME PLAN. Political impact

High Wind speed

Urban Wind

Danger The most endangered form of urban mobility is cycling, as wind can cause tilting and loss of control over the vehicule, or in the case of rain, visibility and focus of drivers can be greatly reduced.

Cyclists Psychology

Pedestrians Impact on choice

Consumption User Surveys Statistics / Real-time footage

The comfort level ends up impacting the consumption choices of users : Shops and stores in calm areas attract more buyers, as users have the comfort needed to look and analyze products / services provided, that is to the contrary of highly uncomfortable zones where people just want to «exit» the uncomfortable areas, usually not even paying attention to the shops.

Mobility Choices

User behaviour High sale shops VS Ghosted Shops

The strong wind impacts the user choices in urban mobility. One naturally tends to escape streets and areas where wind is too strong, and visualize these as «avoid» or «fast pass through» areas, while comfortable zones are perceived as preferable for passage or stay areas.

CONTEXT_

FAROE ISLANDS ACCIDENT

http://local.fo/van-blown-over-by-powerful-gust-of-wind/

Not only do wind speeds in the Faroe Islands have important impact on the developement of cities, they can also cause major accidents both for pedestrians, and vehicules.

This has caused wind to be one of the shaping factors of the built environment in the Faroes, in ancient planning or contemporary territorial decisions.

/ A STORY OF WIND & PEOPLE

The fact that storms are a common occurence in the Faroes, generates an interesting relating between residents of the country and the outdoor environment.

Socially, as the book «The land of maybe» describes, individuals have their weeks and events planned based on the weather, rather than personal preference.

This creates a strong need for climate resilient urban spaces, as the interaction of people with the outdoors can be very limited. for extended periods of time.

WIND / DANGERS AND DICOMFORT Multiple urban environments, especially in contemporary cities, have known major complexities and incidents during climatic events.

Fortunately, contemporary computational tools allow to understand and assess risks and wind velocities before even deciding on a specific building proposal.

TORSHAVN / SHELTERED CAPITAL The site choice of the city of Torshavn reflects a relevant study of the wind conditions of the country by the original founders of the city.

In fact, it can be noticed through multiple wind analysis of the country that Torshavn is placed in a sheltered area, while the Southern area are facing much intensive winds.

P R O T O T Y P E DESIGN _ PHASE TWO

14 DESIGN

The process of design consists of multiple proposals and idea developements in order to test different iterations and formalizations of the theoretical framework of the project.

In this case, the attempt is to design a structure that interacts with the wind, testing different factors that shape the structure and it’s interaction with the environment.

15 DESIGN

WIND SCULPTURES _ Anthony Howe, is a leading sculptor and artist when it comes to viusalizing wind : His sculptures ,with their complex patterns and shiny surfaces, create an intriguing visual spectacle that helps to shape what wind is, and what it can look like.

This is an interesting approach to the matter, as one of the most interesting elements about wind, such a large force, is that it is mostly invisible, except through the objects it interacts with.

ARTISTIC_ VISUALIZING WIND

One of the main aims of this project is to generate a protected urban area that allows passerbys to conceputalize about the impact of wind on their daily lives.

This is thought to be achieved through a prototype that is both a sculpture and a shelter at the same time. Rotating with the wind, while shielding users from wind speeds and the discomfort they may cause.

/ CONCEPTUAL INTENTIONS Multiple tests and conceputal developements have taken place in order to generate a more final proposal, these vary in depth, complexity, structural performance, artistic quality, and design efficency. The attempt overall is to generate an optimizied design for all these matters.

ELEVATION Shield / Safe space The safe space generated by the structure aims to protect the user from wind within the center of the installation, protecting from face until knees of the user, while the feet receive normal wind speed, as the comfort requirement in them is minimal.

PROPOSAL 1 Static structure

The static structure blcoks wind from one direction only, generating no impact if wind is coming from a different direction.

The structure is also incredibly heavy for the role it plays.

PROTOTYPE PROPOSAL 1 _

One of the first attempts of designing the project is the fixed shelter. This is inspired mainly from the research paper : The main issue in this proposal is that wind does not come from one direction, and so it would be inefficient during multiple times.

Abstract The computational aspect of the project is about minimizing material use, as this project tries to be conscious of the SDGs, and to minimize the carbon foorprint of the construction process.

The computational aspect also aims to test wind optimizing performance through CFD simulations which allow us to know more about the wind qualities of each iteration.

This is done via Eddy3D, and Ocotpus for multi-goal evolutionary solving.

Different proposals are being tested in order to prepare an optimally efficient structure.

As this is a WIP, and CFD simulations are highly time consuming, only few proposals have been fully tested in Eddy3d.

TESTING BUILDING PROTOTYPES _ The final prototype presented aims to marry structural and constructive effiency with artistic qualities and a dynamic nature that allows it to be reactive to the wind.

For structural ,testing and transport purposes, the beams are diviided into 3 segments, each one of them is a different performance level for the prototype.

As the number of beams is large, they require a high production effiency with high accuracy which is why laser cutting plywood was chosen for the beam structure.

The beams will be subsequently bolted around the metalic support to create the core and cover of the prototype.

METAL LASER CUTTING STUDIES The metallic core of the prototype which will be hanging to the light post is built from 2 mm and 1 mm steel sheets for optimal structural performance.

Metallic laser cutting is used for the process, follwoed by smoothing and welding the surfaces of the steel elements.

/ WINDY TORSHAVN - THE FAROES Torshavn, the capital of the Faroes, although being one of the best sheltered cities in the country from southern atlantic winds, still has extremely high wind speeds, and knows regular storms.

This is one of the main reasons why the prototype will be installed in the city. The second reason is the urban density that the city generates as the capital, which is unmatched in all the country.

STRUCTURE INSTALLATION The structural integrity of the prototype transits from wooden beams to metallic core all the way to the light post.

58 SITE

AROUND THE LIGHT POST INSTALLATION _ The structural integrity of the prototype transits from wooden beams to metallic core all the way to the light post.

The rotation element relies on wheels that allow the rotation process to take place with the wind.

SCIENTIFIC RESULTS The prototype was installed in downtown Torshavn , nearby the main bus station of the city. The exact location is in a street intersection, in order to have less wind blockades which would allow to study the impact of the prototype geometry on wind speed, avoiding the influence of urban form and buildings, which also play a role in mitigating the wind speeds.

Due to legal constraints, the full prototype iterations were not tested as that would have created a danger on the pedestrians, following notes received from the municipality. The collected data on site is considered insufficient to run a correct comparison between the 4 different states of performance of the prototype, and the 4 different generated comfort levels for the human body. Hence, the wind speed and comfort comparison will be based fully on CFD analysis.

Within the CFD process in Eddy3D, the following details were inputed into the model : EPW file : Torshavn_2004To2018 from Onebuilding Number of iterations in running process : 1000 Turbulence model : Kepsilon ( Residual studies can be found in the Appendix) In order to optimize the CFD process into reasonable time frames, surface and meshing optimizations were required : Firsly, the surface area of the shield structure has been represented as a 2D extruded element ( a surface from a single extruded curve). Secondly, this surface is then rebuilt utilizing Rhino’s «_Rebuild » command with the following parameters as shown in figure 7
