As with the established performance-based seismic design (PBSD) for tall buildings, the wind engineering method minimizes materials and reduces the carbon footprint compared to a cookbook design.

Benchtop wind tunnels adhere to the general principles of wind tunnel design, namely controlled air flow, low turbulence, flow accuracy, and repeatability, but use these fundamental properties for ...

By accounting for blade deformation, the computationally-efficient model will allow for the safe design of bigger blades.

Designer Joe Doucet has revealed his Airiva turbine – a modular wind power system that was conceived to have the necessary visual appeal to fit into urban settings.

We've rounded up five architecture and design competitions with upcoming submission deadlines within the next two months.

The event takes place in a converted wind tunnel at the Art Center College of Design, itself an example of speculative architecture.

Redefining architectural and design boundaries with advanced composite materials Architecture and, in particular, building facades have long been defined by traditional materials. However, composite ...

The winners of the German Design Awards 2023 approach design in ways that are both clever and sustainable, with a focus on ground-breaking product solutions.
