These are some pages from my Italy sketchbook - they explore fluid dynamics, passive solar heating and cooling, alternative methods of energy capture and storage, and other functional aspects of building design.
These are observations of turbulence in the river at the Ponte San Trinita, Florence.
Some ideas on alternative energy:
This is my way of understanding problems - drawing through them. I understand then the different ways they have been solved, and can better approach finding my own solution.
These are the beginnings of some of my ideas on passive solar heating/cooling. I am trying to develop simple systems using water, gravity, convection, conduction, radiation, cohesion/adhesion, evaporation to solve complex problems of thermoregulation in spaces.
