A few excerpts from my most recent read, ‘Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture’ by Kiel Moe. I found it extremely insightful and haven’t yet read anything like it!

// The thermal system is decoupled from its ventilation system

My first time doing a post-occupancy survey. It was so fulfilling and informative!

I’ve used this space for 7 years and I learned more about it in the past two weeks than I ever did before!

Universal Thermal Climate Index Analysis of Paine’s Park, Philadelphia.

ANALYSIS:

The site is a skate park and it has elements far apart from each other. This enables the wind to scoop down at various places t
