Mediterranean Morphologies In Hot Summer Conditions Learning From Frances Glorious Thirty Holiday Housing 111th Edition Msc Marjan Sansen by M.sc. Marjan Sansen, Dr. Andrés Martínez, Dr. Philippe Devillers instant download after payment.

Climate change and rising temperatures lead to an air-conditioning
proliferation in the summertime of the Mediterranean regions. This study
links urban morphology to the microclimate. It claims that a lesson can be
drawn from holiday housing morphologies designed with an additive
approach during the “Glorious Thirty”French coastal development (1946-
75). It is based on a morphological analysis of four case studies, with on the
one hand re-drawing and site visiting, on the other hand, assessment of
environmental performance through key parameters: Absolute Rugosity,
Compactness Ratio, Building Density, Mineralization, Sky View Factor (SVF)
and Height/Width (H/W) Ratio. Compared to literature reference values of a
traditional courtyard morphology, the case studies are less compact and with
a lower H/W Ratio (higher SVF), but they are less mineral than a historic
medieval city centre. This research contributes to the search for semi-
collective alternatives (for example additive morphologies) to individual
housing in peri-urban areas, with high environmental performance in the
summertime.
