Design realization Problem: Strong south-west winds affecting the outdoor structure
Solution: Applying wind-breaking facade and design objects, made of perforrated steal. The 20% of wind passing through directly assures a well balanced climate and a solution for the wind-problem. It aswell can be used as a vertical outside garden and open-air exhibition.
Material with semiopend surface holds back most wind and doesnt cause turbulences at the top
Fully solid material causes turbulences
