Description:
LANDinc and Dr. Robert Brown from the University of Guelph were retained by Fox & Fowl
Architects of New York to prepare a detailed microclimatic design and assessment
of the proposed 54 storey New York Times Tower in downtown Manhattan.
A complete 3D model of the building and surrounding cityscape was prepared for
the solar simulation component of the project. The project detailed the probable
thermal comfort of the proposed rooftop garden and street level courtyard, and
outlined ways to improve upon it. The report also outlined a palette
of plants that could survive these two very different environments. |
