The Challenge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Microclimate Simulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perkins & Will are invited to participate in many global competitions and design bids. The nature of competitions means that design teams need to quickly produce innovative, sustainable, and unique designs bespoke to each clients\u2019 requirements and physical environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The urban design and masterplanning team based in the London office is a team of urban designers who augment global design teams with specialist urban design, environmental, and sustainable design expertise. They work on larger city, district scale, and strategic planning projects all over the world with municipalities, private developers, and national governments. Recent projects have included urban design and masterplanning of new towns and cities in Saudi Arabia for example, working on innovative new residential and commercial districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of many recent design challenges the urban design and masterplanning team worked on included a new district-scale educational and research masterplan in the Middle East. This was a new project in a challenging desert environment near the coast. It had several climate and environmental aspects that needed fast and accurate simulations of the microclimate to inform critical design decisions. Accounting for rapidly changing wind conditions and outdoor safety was critical in the design of the overall scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
