面對氣候變遷帶來的極端高溫、降雨失衡與水資源壓力,都市環境多仰賴高耗能設備進行調節,卻同時加劇能源消耗與環境負擔。在此背景下,我們重新思考城市與自然的關係,嘗試從對抗轉向協作,提出「都市導風集水塔」作為回應氣候議題的設計介面。本設計聚焦於水資源、氣候調節與自然為本的解決方案三大核心,整合導風、集水與水動能轉換機制,引導高空氣流進入都市低層空間,促進通風,同時蒐集並活化雨水資源,透過蒸發冷卻與水氣蒸散帶走環境熱能。在無風或高溫情境下,系統仍能藉由水循環產生動能驅動氣流,形成風與水相互作用的微氣候循環,有效降低都市熱島效應,並回應水資源再利用議題。我們以自然為本的解決方案為核心,從自然循環中萃取運作邏輯,轉化為可融入都市環境的設計語彙,使氣候調節不再只是隱形的工程設施,而成為城市中可被感知、可參與的環境介面。期望透過本設計,為高密度都市提出一種兼具環境調節與資源循環能力的永續回應方式。
Urban environments increasingly face extreme heat, uneven rainfall, and water stress, yet high-energy mechanical systems often worsen environmental burdens. To shift from resisting to collaborating with nature, we propose the Climate-Regulating Wind Tower.The tower integrates wind guidance, water collection, and hydrodynamic energy conversion to form a self-sustaining microclimate loop. It channels upper-level airflow to urban lower layers, enhances ventilation, and uses captured rainwater for evaporative cooling. Even under still or high-temperature conditions, water circulation drives airflow, mitigating the urban heat island effect while promoting water reuse.
Grounded in nature-based solutions, the design translates natural cycles into an urban-adaptable language, making climate regulation a perceivable and participatory interface. This approach offers high-density cities a sustainable way to combine environmental cooling with resource circulation.
