Solar Envelope


The solar envelope concept works as a modernized dynamic planning tool corresponding to contemporary conditions and requirements, and a guide to urban design solutions for vacant lots in urban development

Emergent cluster method, 

The first step is wooly paths, routes showing 

the most advantageous routes between the set points - attractors. The result is a network of paths and triangles that are further subdivided into points, and these points are then drawn to optimize the paths and cuts. Straight lines and routes in close proximity are connected. The result needs to be re-analysed and blocks drawn into the resulting networks and adjusted according to the local programme and the context of existing and future routes and streets. These shall be linked with the delineated blocks to existing developments to ensure that they are correlated and their relationship is balanced and to the necessary degree of continuity.

 Each sub-plot has its own plan and envelope shape, which the client or architect "fills" with his design. It is assumed that in a certain paradox by setting these boundaries in 3 dimensions, a more form-rich development is created and individualisation is encouraged of individual blocks, whose plots are not in a regular grid, but create a variety of plan shapes and multiple 'covers' of envelopes that can be filled in at will construction. The envelopes are constantly updated, which in practice means that as development occurs, the envelopes of vacant plots respond to the addition of buildings.
