Abstract
This study presents a creative air design approach in architecture and explores art produced notions translated into spatial design forms with air penetration potentiality. This approach affects the architectural design from the early stages of shaping fulls and voids in a structure and it provides meanings that enrich the process of form production. Particular paradigms are elaborated displaying a method that considers art contribution and air participation as substantial factors of its principal design thinking. Each paradigm includes interpretation of an art piece, creation of an air penetrable spatial design form, presentation of the air flow potential and highlighting of the reflections of art seen in each configured form. The potential of air flowing through art-driven forms gives a new motive and advanced prospects to spatial design and architecture, while it conforms to sustainable approaches of contemporary theories. Outcomes indicate that with the presented approach, the architectural synthesis can be developed with innovative qualities and features that affect both the “positive” design (spatial design form) and the “negative” design (air flow field). This fact broadens the possibilities of creating novel and effective air flow fields in art-emerged architectural structures that aim at promoting an improved environment. Such kind of providence for air passing through the built environment can obviously support fundamental environmental issues as natural ventilation, air quality, thermal comfort, and appropriate spatial atmosphere. This project has received funding from the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) and the General Secretariat for Research and Technology(GSRT), under grant agreement No[835].
