  • K-Studio is an architecture firm in Greece that designed a wave ceiling for Barbouni, a restaurant in Costa Navarino. The ceiling cools down the space by providing shade and helping the cool air circulate through the space. The design concept of the entire space is meant to be removable and sustainable.

    *Let me tell you a secret. It's not the ceiling that makes the space cooler, it's the wind and the open space. It's called ventilation.*

      The shade provides the cooling.

    If the sheets move because of the wind, doesn't that mean that air circulation is already present? These sheets seem redundant.

    Eons ago, I saw a video clip on panels of fabric on an indoor ceiling. You touched one then it was like a domino effect for the other panels to 'wave'. It was meant for cooling/ventilation. Obviously, you wouldn't want to have to touch it every 5 minutes but once every hour to freshen a room is doable. I believe it was a Japanese design. I have been searching for years to find it. (This seems like a good place to post with the hope someone else has heard/seen this). Cheers

      the most sound produced by a flapping fabric is at the end. and they installed it quite close to each other so that will reduce the wildness of the flaps. plus sea breeze is noisy as it is, the area is open so u will hear more sea breeze than the slight flapping sound produced by those fabrics. i think XD

    I noticed a lot of people commenting the ceiling is redundant on an open space near the sea.
    Well... I thought it too, but as a brazilian I can tell you that it doesn't matter much if a public space is an open place with a roof, it can still get warm as if there were no roof at all, and doesn't matter if it's sunny, the inside could still look dark or tainted by the color of the roof if it's translucent, and the people on the edge of the space gets the fresh air while the people on the center or on the escaping side of the wind gotta deal with strangers' aromas and heated air.
    Maybe it works by screening the sun just enough as a tree top, while the sway cools down the fabric even on the center, while the open top allows for light to reach everywhere and the heat to escape up instead of being contained. If it works like that, this design is genius for a tropical climate.
    Untill it rains

    • @ViniSocramSaint
      @ViniSocramSaint 9 місяців тому

      @@JeffersonXacall Não sei se entendi o que referencia, então vou dar meu melhor pra explicar meu ponto leigo inteiro:
      Os panos e as tariscas fazem sombra. Mesmo que não se conectem em um teto completo, bloqueiam bastante a luz direta, deixando passar a indireta.
      O movimento dos panos - não necessariamente a ondulação, mas qualquer movimento - faz os panos perderem a "aura de ar quente", menos a camada imediatamente tocando o pano, que é trocada por ar novo na direção do movimento, além de que o próprio movimento faz os panos esfriarem. Isso é um conceito de dinâmica de fluidos que aprendi de passagem alguns anos atrás mas esqueci quase tudo com o tempo. É por causa disso - mais a expansão de fluídos - que assoprar esfria a comida enquanto que sugar o ar esfria a comida dentro da boca e abanar melhora o calor mesmo que todo o ar ao nosso redor seja quente. Por fim, ar quente se expande por receber mais energia que atiça mais as moléculas, isso faz o ar quente ser menos denso que o resto, subindo pro teto. O teto tendo valas deixa o ar quente escapar pra cima. Isso tudo levaria ao design desse "teto" no vídeo ser genioso

    Good idea, but need testing in S.E.Asia for its efficiency, durability, maintenance, anti-insect housing & etc.....

    For someone with allergies... The thought of those sheets collecting dust and being fanned while you sit under it.... Scares me 😭

    i can imagine that it does not cool actively. more likely, heat cannot build up underneath it but sun doesnt reaally shine through it. so cool shade is made. the example that its like an aircondition isnt quite the correct example.

    there is also one in Medan Indonesia, not like this but its the same concept using many steel plate on a wall. It make it look like a wave using wind also, and probably a chime sound?

    I don't understand why they keep on insisting that it's the fabric that makes the area cooler, as if the wind moves up and down. The area would still be cool because, duh, it has no walls to block the wind coming from the sea. Also, what if it rains? What would you say to the customers when the get wet under those hanging fabrics that won't catch rain? Yeah it looks cool but it's straight up lying if you say that the fabric cool the area when it's not. Pretty but not practical.

      The wind is what's cooling the area, the placement of the fabrics allows there to be ventilation, which can be simply seen and I know for sure you noted that. However, the fabric also shields the area from the sun, dynamically speaking. Also, if it rains, y tf r u at the beach for? btw at 1:15 you can see they have cover on the top, so maybe the fabric is also removable.
