Project

Description

Description: This project is promising to explore the urban scale design via form, density, and material related 15 urban design parameters on five environmental performance metrics -urban heat island, thermal comfort, energy, daylighting, wind comfort- for Singapore’s tropical climate. I applied the performance-driven design approach to multi-scalar performance evaluations with quantitative and qualitative analysis methods.
