Steady warm summer august day. The air is gradually moving. Began my walk on stanhope street heading towards clarendon. As I wrapped around the building's corner of Flour bakery, a constant harsh wind flow from john hancock tower rushes south. This phenomenon is caused by the wind tunnel effect of large buildings using roads as the corridor of travel at pedestrian level.
The Interstate highway below with the transit railway system causes forced windflow from the velocity of traveling objects (vehicles and trains). The fast moving objects pushes the air creating forceful wind. The interstate under the air-right sites are essentially tunnel driven.
These phenomenon of the wind tunnel effect is an opportunity to harness the winds path in directing Parcel 16 building with a natural ventilated system.
