Porosity architecture in ecological design

In many cities, porosity architecture is often scripted by positioning of „best practices?. Porosity architecture is an in-depth analysis from both theoretical and practical perspectives that shows how ambiguous architecture is and purposely offers “uncertain” physical responses to deal with issues...

Porosity architecture is an in-depth analysis from both theoretical and practical perspectives that shows how ambiguous architecture is and purposely offers “uncertain” physical responses to deal with issues related to city?s fast-paced development and lifestyle.

The purpose of this dissertation is to identify design strategies of porosity architecture in ecological aspect. The argument is supported through subject related literature review and case study research. Three major elements of porosity architecture have been determined as direct adoption in ecological approach. This study investigates the three main principles: sponge metaphor, permeability and transparency. The research then further scopes down to permeability and its characteristic along with specific nature as the mean of manifestation for porosity architecture in ecological design with the use of selected case studies. The findings show that the porosity architecture can be an alternative design strategy for ecological design.
