PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: We performed a test to verify the effects of wind on the Era. The wind tunnel test was carried out by NOVA Fluid Mechanics in Genoa, Italy.
A reduced-scale model of the development and surroundings was built within a radius of 250m. With pressure sensors spread across the surface of the model, we were able to predict the climate effects on the development over a 50-year return period.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Total area: 21,935.08 m²
TAGS: residential, architecture, futuristic, era, itapema, brazil, brasil
