We are looking for extra info on ideas, diagrams, quantitative tools etc dealing with air curtain walls in architecture as well as air velocity being used in other architectural contexts...
Already found some resources on Yves Klein, some air wall products, OMA's Prada store (no diagram, though), and art/architecture installations. Looking for anything, including practical to experimental and conceptual ideas out there.
?? is this air inside a curtain wall, an "air curtian", which is used for verfy functional purposed (to reduce heat loss at doors and keep insects out), or something much more conceptual?
looking for "air curtain" opposed to just a curtain wall...
blur building is a step in right direction, but looking for diagrams and ways of quantifying air velocity, too. Diagrams even of OMA's prada store which uses a curtain of air as a door to regulate interior environment...
