Application can be used over the different typologies and urban situations, as we tested in very different projects such as developing Airport city Prague
One of the key theme how to define a space or regulate a city is a solar envelope. This concept is based on “ zoning Low “ produced by Hudge Ferrise and research of Ralph L. Knowles, who defines a solar envelope as a basic urban tool. The solar envelope defines the maximum possible built-in volume concerning the shading of neighboring envelope objects. The envelope determines the polygon of the building plot, which can be from geometric primitives to rugged polygonal shapes. There is no flat roof. The top points are joined by a polygon and create a differently sloping roof area according to a specific context. Using the genetic algorithm, we are looking for the optimal solution to the set points,
maximum volume and maximum exposure to the sun. The program can look at a large number of envelopes at a time, so the system looks for such a possibility that the whole newly proposed part takes into account the shadowing of itself and the context of the place, ie the surrounding objects, therefore, no block objects / maximum volume / so that the total volume passes the beams to adjacent envelopes. Another change is the possibility of measuring the entire spectrum of the sun’s movement, not just a specific hour but, for example, a whole day. Using meteorological data we can include the number of cloudy days. Setting the resolution of the measured area creates a sunbathing gradient where it is easy to increase the accuracy of the high-resolution measurement.
Another key moment is the number of envelope polygon checkpoints. With only 4 polygon vertexes, there is a relatively simple cut of the block, but when the vertex increases, we reach far more complex envelopes. / Fig. 2 / The envelope tendency then naturally accents the corners and creates a rich platform that very well develops the original language of the city. In a situation where several envelopes are generated, we achieve great complexity and richness of structure while maintaining a unified and coherent language. The resulting architecture reminds us of its rich and self-growing city.
