Wind Balcony


2/43

The balcony is an element with real selling power to developers

and architects due to its potential to increase square footage to

existing buildings. Balconies, if designed properly, simultaneously

serve as an effective solar shading system and mitigate the effects

of solar gain within the building. They also can diffuse the wind

tunnels that so often build up around city buildings, returning the

street to pedestrians who have previously avoided it due toexcessive winds.

The qualitative effect of a series of balconies that undulates

(in plan) are not as straightforward to calculate, but the unique,

oblique views that the balconies afford up and down the building

provide a new perspective for building inhabitants to enjoy.

Additionally, they invoke the haptic sense of the outside observer

in terms of the building facades almost malleable rhythm.
