Construction of the Badgir in 1/2 scale
The construction of this example was carried out in collaboration with the students of the Master of the National School of Architecture of Paris-Malaquais (ENSAPM). As part of the project on Bioclimatic, Adaptive and Passive Architectural Envelopes, the Grands Ateliers of the University of Lyon, GAIA, organized a workshop from April 20 to 24, 2015. The objective of this workshop was to combine the history of construction with practical experimentation and the current application of ancient implementation techniques. The students thus contributed to the implementation of pressure and air extraction measurements, as well as to the analysis of the results obtained following the tests carried out with different wind angles (0°, 15°, 30° and 45°).
