The idea of porosity and wind flow affecting the micro- and macro-climate of a megastructure and its surrounding environment guide this study for the extension of Columbia University Campus.
The Campus is designed as a massive porous ore that is more an infrastructure than a building. Experiments with flow dynamics were done to tune the shaping of the mass. The program unfolds within and on top the mass organized in fused concentrations. (with Michela Tonus, "Crampus" Advanced Architecture Studio, Columbia GSAPP)
