What is it about?
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.

Why is it important?
Emergent systems will provide the models and processes of the wind dynamics iso that naturally occurring wind phenomenons can be explored for the creation of artificial systems, designed to produce hyperlocalized forms in response to its immediate climate.
Perspectives
The research described in this paper is the starting point of design generation and design collaboration with the algorithm and script as well as the instrument, for an interdisciplinary approach to creative design. The two are intrinsic partners within the design process which will facilitate the arrival at an architectural expression that are to some extent ambitious and conceptual, yet allow for the understanding and development of a novel architectural typology and expression, that is not possible otherwise. It therefore leads into a meaningful architecture, as previously described, in reference to the work and theories of Schumacher, and exchanges successful domains, creatively.
