Proposal for a science park and research laboratory for Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria. The building form is generated from digital modelling of air movement up a hill side and optimised to facilitate through-ventilation. The building has openable glass facade, wrapped in bronze meshes of varying densities. Rapid prototyping and wind tunnel testing were deployed to maximise density whilst maintaining and enhancing air flow across the site.
