Pristina City Center, Republic of Kosovo

Due to the collaboration between Arch. Davide Prando and Eng. Marco Rota Nodari, it was possible to further develop the wind flow analysis by examining two towers 120 m and 90 m (about 393 ft and 295 ft high), respectively, in a digital wind tunnel.

Wind Model of the City Center of Pristina

Description

The slim shape, considerable height, and interference by nearby buildings made simulation in RWIND 2 necessary in order to determine the actions of pressure and underpressure caused by wind acting on the envelope.

When designing the structures, this software was of fundamental importance, especially for identifying the surfaces subjected to the most severe conditions.
