Mellanhus Bostadsmiljö och mikroklimat
(2023) AAHM01 20231Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- The master thesis Mellanhus, english title: "Interside" explored the connection of thermal environment and the architecture of dwellings in a theoretical investigation coupled with a design proposal for a new housing area in Lund.
It starts from a regard of dwelling space as not just contained to the comfort of the own home but in between the buildings of the neighbourhood. A disregard of the effects of buildings and planned environment on the microclimate in these spaces impacts human comfort and the desire to inhabit them, a prerequisite for a sense of community and social belonging. The work set out to understand the ways in which architectural design and planning can be used to create beneficial microclimates for this objective.

The work set out to understand the ways in which architectural design and planning can be used to create beneficial microclimates for this objective.
This included studies of examples from architectural history created as reactions of environmental concerns of living conditions, as well as deliberate climate focused design, which gave patterns for the initial phase of the design study.
As well as a technical investigation of climatology and physics which produced an overview of what impact choices of architectural design and planning can have on microclimate, presented as a matrix of design aspects connected to their impact on fundamental thermal energy properies of the environment.
An analysis of climate data to state justifiable goals for the design effort was produced, as well as predictions of possible outcome of the design through computer simulations of wind and solar radiation.
The proposed housing area was developed on what is currently an industrial site in the south-west part of Lund, with close proximity to a nature reserve, giving context and a feasible setting. Planning principles of volume and orientation was derived from an analysis of the surrounding terrain and local climatic factors. A progress of improving the microclimate surrounding the buildings was shown out of the goals that were stated. (Less)
