Wind Studies


To lend credence and credibility to my programmatic study of wind and temporality, ephemerality and lightness of the guerilla project. Wind studies were conducted, at ground level of wind patterns and behavior around my site. This was done with the water table, thanks Mr. Borom, estimating winds at scale (around 10-15 knots) as predicted by the ASW website for calculating wind speeds in the Brooklyn area for conventional wind turbine systems



Much insight was gained and realized from the water testing of the building footprints of my site and the structures sorrounding it. The strategies for developing a viable program for wind related devices and installations that would be insertable in the stalled site.
Most interesting was the fact the wind is channeled through corridors and pathways between structures and strongest between buildings through streets.
