The Centre is located in Kent, on the South-eastern coast of England, and lies within the gulf of the English Channel–an area subject to high winds throughout the year. The initial investigations analysed the symbiotic relationship between the site’s climate, ecology, and land formations.

Leading on from the initial research, the scheme focuses on the complex relationship between human behaviours and their surrounding climates. Through the manipulation of prevailing winds, the structure induces an internal landscape, divided between negatively, positively, and neutrally charged climates. The induction of these climates establishes an infrastructure through which to conduct research on the relationship between meteorological activity and people’s psychological wellbeing, cognitive abilities, and physical performance.

The design was tested and reiterated through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software, recalibrating the forms to incite the desired airflows. The design focuses on rendering internal climates and moulding spaces through meteorological design.
