Flow Funnel Façade – using the Venturi effect to cool down our cities
At the Bucky Lab of TU Delft, students continuously explore façade concepts that respond to real environmental challenges. One of these challenges is the increasing urban heat island effect, which raises temperatures in cities and increases the demand for mechanical cooling.
