dc.description.abstract | The lack of green open spaces undermines the environmental and social quality of tropical highly-dense cities (i.e. raises urban temperatures, limits social interaction). The goal of this study, which focused on environmental aspects, was to identify underlying factors (i.e. hypothetical constructs) in semi-outdoor spaces within building forms that explain their microclimatic behaviour, thermal comfort levels, and clustering. Sixty-three semi-outdoor spaces in four high/mid-rise building forms of Singapore were studied using microclimatic data collected from field measurements and analysed via inferential statistical methods (e.g., exploratory factor analysis, multivariate regression analysis, and hierarchical clustering analysis). Findings demonstrate: (1) that spatial attributes (i.e. height, depth, void, solid, total frontage, open frontage, area, volume, perimeter, sky view factor, green plot ratio) are manifestations of three underlying factors: volume porosity (VP), perimeter openness (PO) and exposure to sky (ES); (2) that VP and PO are significantly associated with air velocity and predicted thermal comfort; and (3) that vertical breezeways appear to be the most thermally comfortable cluster due to high VP and low PO. This study sheds new light on the spatial nature of semi-outdoor spaces, which designers can consider in order to enhance wind movement for promoting thermally comfortable semi-outdoor environments in highly-dense Singapore | es_ES |
dc.description.sponsorship | This study is based on the data collected by the corresponding author during his Ph.D. thesis research project titled ‘‘Overheating risk in warm tropical climates - Semi-outdoor spaces as form-based & passive adaptation measures”, funded by the Ph.D. scholarship programme of the Friends of the University of Navarra (UNAV). Likewise, special thanks to UNAV, Obra Social ‘la Caixa’ and Caja Navarra Bank Foundation for funding, through their Mobility Program, corresponding author’s research stay at National University of Singapore (NUS). Special thanks to Mr. Wong Mun Summ, founding director of WOHA Architects for managing the access to studied buildings; to the managers and executives of School of the Arts (SOTA), Far East Hospitality Management of OASIA Hotel Downtown, Singapore, Housing & Development Board (HDB) and Tanjong Pagar Town Council for allowing the corresponding author to take measurements on each building. We also acknowledge the work of Megha Jagdish Bilgi and Bhavya Hemant Gandhi, former students of the NUS Master of Science in Integrated Sustainable Design, for their collaboration on this study. | es_ES |
