Design Consultant - Transsolar Klimaengineering

Client: Diller, Scofidio + Renfro

Zaryadye Park is the central park of Moscow, directly adjacent to Red Square. DS+R architects proposed a series of "augmented microclimates that extend Moscow’s typically short park season through the severe winter months." I helped to design the central pavilion, in which a open air glass canopy creates a  'greenhouse effect' atop the park's largest hill, allowing it to stay temperate through the cold Moscow winter.
‍
scope:
   met with the client DS+R to understand their design ideology and constraints
   used Computational Fluid Modeling (CFD) to characterize  thermal behavior of the structure
   integrated seasonal temperature and prevailing wind data into simulations
   performed a series of form-finding studies driven by CFD results and thermal first principles
   collaborated with structural and MEP  engineers to detail technical systems for the canopy
