“When you build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it, and within it so that the larger world at that one place becomes more coherent and more whole; and the thing which you make takes its place in the web of nature as you make it.”

Christopher Alexander

Architect, Theorist, Educator Author of “A Pattern Language”,1977, and “The Timeless Way of Building”, 1979. 2

Nature of the Built Environment

"It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able to adapt to and to adjust best to the changing environment in which it finds itself”. Charles Darwin

Zeroth Law: You must play the game First Law: You can't win Second Law: You can't even break even Third Law: You can't quit the game

So…..we need more SCIENCE !

Concurrent Temperature and Air Velocity Profiles Outside and Inside Building

Wind speed: 3.28 fps (1 m/s). Lower wind speeds give time for heat to accumulate and create heat pool between buildings. Wind speed: 9.84 fps (3 m/s) Wind speed: 16.40 fps (5 m/s) Wind speed: 32.8 fps (10 m/s). Higher wind speeds help dispersing heat pool between buildings. Wind speed: 3.28 fps (1 m/s) Wind speed: 9.84 fps (3 m/s) Wind speed: 16.40 fps (5 m/s) Wind speed: 32.8 fps (10 m/s)
