In modern skyscrapers, aesthetic appeal often takes precedence over functionality, sacrificing operable windows for expansive views and trapping heat within through the large glass facades.
While advancements in glass technology and HVAC systems have been impressive, there's a pressing need to reconsider integrating passive ventilation methods to improve occupant comfort.
Continuous advancements in glass technology reflect a trend toward multi-layered, high-performance materials, but we must not neglect more budget-friendly solutions and strategies that promote operable elements.
The current focus on maximizing views in skyscraper design often disregards key building orientation principles, raising concerns about the loss of essential passive ventilation strategies.
