A Study on Meteorological Architecture

Abstract

Under the background of global warming and energy crisis, exploring the new relationship between architecture and climate has always been a hot spot in the construction industry. Thus, a new design pattern “meteorological architecture” guided by a localized meteorological condition is developed. The paper starts with the distinction of the concepts of “meteorology” and “climate” to explains the connotation of “meteorological architecture”. Through the analysis of current theories and practices related to meteorological architecture, a new principle of architectural space division and architectural form generation logic have been summarized. Finally, the enlightening effect of meteorological architecture on other fields is proposed.
