Abstract

Wellington is famous for its wind. It is arguably the windiest city in the world and provides the site for this research that considers an inter-disciplinary design approach fusing climatology and architectural domains. This research uses Wellington’s wind climate as the pivot of inquiry in all of its complexity, and explores design narratives that best respond to those circumstances in order to generate building forms with the capacity to emulate a ‘hyperlocalized’ typology. Emergent systems will provide the models and processes of the wind dynamics in Wellington so that this naturally occurring phenomenon can be explored for the creation of artificial systems, designed to produce hyperlocalized forms in response to its immediate climate.
