Wind Response

Idea Driven by Auto Industry - fins drive air to cool engine, funnel to cool tires, stabilize uplift and hug road.

An idea: what if we looked at the wind function as a diurnal process-shading by day and a reconfiguration at night to allow night flushing, harness to turbines, etc.  


A subtractive process in the doors...could speak to a facade that pulls in towards the curtain wall to create wind channels


Lower door scoop could become fins that could be solar as well as drive wind to cool or be harnessed for energy, etc.


Just another example of pulling and harnessing wind. The lower scoops here cool the tires and brakes. Upper scoop over back window pulls air toward the rear engine drive to assist with high temp cooling.
