- More about Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement
Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement challenges architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. It provides concepts in fluid mechanics, airflow, and strategies for designing for wind resistance, using examples such as Thomas Herzogs Hall 26, RWE Ag building, and the Kimbell Art Museum.

Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement is a comprehensive guide that delves into the application of aerodynamic principles to architectural design, presenting a fascinating challenge to architects and architectural engineers. It explores how the wind interacts with buildings, influencing their shape and expression. The wind exerts forces on structures, causing them to move and sway, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and even lifts roofs during storm events. Moreover, it presents opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out.
This book offers a foundational understanding of fluid mechanics, including concepts such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics. It introduces the reader to the concept of airflow and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, particularly in preventing uplift. Examples such as Thomas Herzogs Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas are used to illustrate natural ventilation and forced airflow. Furthermore, issues of wind and airflow measurement are addressed.
As a valuable resource for students and practitioners of architecture and architectural engineering, this book is extensively illustrated and presents complex aerodynamic engineering concepts in a user-friendly language. It equips architects and architectural engineers with the skills to design buildings that are visually expressive of a dynamic dialogue between wind and built form.
