Abstract

 This chapter introduces the wind-driven design method for creating nature-conscious, wind-adaptive architecture. With the changing climate, urban and architectural planning focusing more on climate-conscious design strategies, the significance of climatic factors in the architectural design process is highlighted. The interaction between wind and architecture is impacted on several scales: from urbanism, through the building shape, to the scale of building envelopes. Interestingly enough, the wind and its effects are still not routinely evaluated in architectural projects during the early design phase.
