The transformation of the architects’ vision to architectural form is a lengthy process. From initial sketch to day-to-day life, a design is transformed through the reality of occupation. No matter how much effort is put into a design its final effectiveness is determined by the end user. The access to ample daylight balanced with an adequate sense of visual privacy within ones one home is not often accounted for within the planning process. With current legislation making access to daylight a right within many developed countries, guaranteeing that access within the dense urban environment can mean putting resident’s privacy into question when planning to meet these daylight requirements. Failing to consider the privacy needs of all residents, especially immigrant groups, can lead to privacy driven modifications counterproductive to the overall goal of increasing access to daylight. Resident modifications can, in turn, lead to reductions of daylight levels within the home. There is a need for a system of analysis when it comes to the balance of access to daylight and adequate visual privacy, connecting the critical impacts of these factors on the human physiology and psychology. This proposal puts forward a system to analyze the relationship between the effective light transmission and the perceived visual privacy provided by a given visual privacy solution. The study is based off the analysis of current research regarding the effect of daylight on the human body, the importance of privacy within the home, the impact of cultural background on perception of privacy, and the impact of changing urban density on how people live. The research proposes a system of measurement taking into consideration both the quantitative effective daylight transmittance and a systematic qualitative analysis of perceived visual privacy through participant survey. The data collected would eventually be combined in a way that could be easily communicated to architects, designers, manufacturers and most importantly the end user. This system would be used to ensure that residents are able to effectively balance the level of privacy they require while mitigating the loss of daylight within their homes helping to insure the most benefits for the resident regardless of what home they find themselves in.

The objective of my thesis is to explore and re-define the relationship between threshold and urban density. Threshold is an architectural medium, which divides and bridges spaces with certain meanings. Density is the defining character of the urban condition expressed consistently at different scales: from a city to a block, to a building and to the human habitation. My design project is about an application of threshold in architectural design within the context of urban density. The efficacy of threshold is tested in both external and internal conditions: the existing condition of the site and the internal workings of the program. To test the thesis, a design of a youth hostel in Washington D.C. was undertaken. The experiment was carried out with the following hypotheses: 1) that threshold is an architectural instrument that mitigates the urban density and 2) that threshold negotiates the territories among the inhabitants. The design experiment demonstrated the hypotheses and therefore, confirmed the relationship between threshold and urban density. / Master of Architecture

O objeto desta pesquisa é a alteração das condições de ventilação natural e de incidência solar provocadas pelo meio urbano. Objetiva-se comprovar a hipótese de que o maior adensamento urbano através da verticalização é compatível com o conforto térmico em edifícios residenciais multifamiliares em altura utilizando apenas a ventilação natural durante 80% das horas do ano. Obstáculos no entorno modificam o comportamento do vento, reduzindo ou incrementando o campo de pressões sobre as fachadas. Por outro lado, edifícios altos situados nas proximidades podem reduzir parcelas significativas da radiação solar sobre planos verticais. O estudo tem como foco o clima quente e úmido de Fortaleza (3° S) e analisa quatro diferentes configurações representativas da morfologia urbana presentes nesta cidade. A investigação vale-se de simulações computacionais em diferentes etapas e escalas de abordagem numa metodologia sequencial e complementar na qual cada fase fornece dados necessários ao estágio seguinte. Partiu-se da avaliação da ventilação urbana através de CFD para as duas direções de vento predominantes, que forneceram dados de Cp sobre as aberturas do edifício adotado. Em seguida, simulou-se o comportamento dos fluxos internos, determinando as taxas de renovação do ar e o campo de velocidades no interior do apartamento. O desempenho térmico anual de três ambientes de permanência prolongada foi calculado e os resultados analisados com base no total de horas dentro da zona de conforto utilizando o modelo adaptativo da ASHRAE (2004). A sensação de resfriamento a partir do movimento do ar foi considerada para a extensão dos limites da zona de conforto. A hipótese mostrou-se válida, uma vez que formas urbanas mais verticalizadas como os cenários 2 e 3 obstruíram parcelas significativas da radiação solar em pavimentos mais baixos comparados a conjuntos urbanos formados por edificações mais baixas. Mesmo diante de vazões de ar cerca de 40% mais baixas em alguns casos com vento sudeste, o cenário 2 apresentou maior quantidade de horas em conforto. O mesmo ocorreu com o cenário 3, cujos valores de vazões de ar com vento leste foram discretamente superiores àqueles obtidos nos cenários 1 e 4, porém alcançando maiores períodos em conforto térmico nos pavimentos mais baixos, reforçando a atuação conjunta da obstrução à radiação solar e a manutenção de condições para ventilar naturalmente as fachadas de edifícios. Ao considerar o efeito de resfriamento provocado pelo movimento do ar, foi possível atingir a condição de conforto térmico em 85% dos casos. Ainda, as baixas correlaçõesentre a vazão de ar e a taxa de ocupação do solo em cada cenário ou a altura média das edificações reforçam a premissa de que a variabilidade do vento e o dinamismo da forma urbana impedem a determinação imediata de quais configurações espaciais reduzirão ou potencializarão as condições de ventilação natural, indicando, também, a possibilidade de compatibilizar maiores níveis de densidade urbana e condições ambientais satisfatórias em edifícios. / The object of this research is the changes in natural ventilation conditions and sunlight caused by the urban environment. The aim is to prove the hypothesis that higher urban density levels thru vertical buildings is compatible with thermal comfort in naturally ventilated residential buildings during 80% of total year´s hours. Surrounding obstacles modify wind patterns, reducing or increasing the pressure field over façades. On the other hand, tall buildings located nearby might reduce significant solar radiation portions over vertical planes. This study focus the hot-humid climate of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil (3° S) and analyses four different representative urban forms within this city. The investigation uses computational simulations in different stages and approaching scales in a sequential and complementary methodology in which each phase supplies the necessary data to the next level. Starting point was to evaluate the urban ventilation using a CFD tool according to two dominant wind directions, which provided Cp data over buildings openings. Then, internal flows were simulated in order to determine air changes rates and velocity field in the apartment. Annual thermodynamic performance in threelong permanence rooms was calculated and the results were evaluated using ASHRAE (2004) adaptive model. Cooling effect due to air movement was considered to extend the limits of thermal comfort zone. The hypothesis proved to be valid since more vertical urban forms such as scenarios 2 and 3 obstructed significant solar radiation portions over lower floors compared to urban settlements with lower buildings. Even with airflow rates about 40% lower in some cases with southeast wind, scenario 2 had more hours within the comfort zone. The same occurred with scenario 3, in which airflow rates for east wind were slightly higher than that obtained in scenarios 1 and 4, but achieving greater comfort periods in lower floors, reinforcing the combined effect of obstructing solar radiation and maintaining the conditions to naturally ventilate building´s façades. Considering the cooling effect due to air movement made possible to achieve thermal comfort situations in 85% of the cases. Yet, lower correlations between airflow rates and land use in each scenario or average height of buildings reinforce the premise that wind variability and the dynamism of the urban form prevent the immediate determination of which spatial configuration may reduce or enhance natural ventilation conditions, also indicating that high-density urban levels are compatible with satisfactory environmental conditions within buildings.

Syfte: I takt med urbaniseringen ökar bostadsbristen avsevärt. Som en lösning har förtätning blivit en samhällstrend för att främja ett ekologiskt och socialt hållbart samhälle. Samtidigt som förtätning minskar segregation och ökar tryggheten i bostadsområden, medför det svårigheter och utmaningar vid bostadsprojektering där dagsljus utgör en stor del av det. I samband med detta har forskning visat att dagsljustillgång utgör positiva effekter hos människors fysiska och psykiska hälsa vilket gör detta till en viktig aspekt. Dock konstateras det att en stor del av svenska hushåll inte uppfyller dagsljuskraven. Som följd av bristande kunskap och engagemang hävdas kommuner inte vilja ta sig an problemet. I dagsläget regleras ingen koppling mellan dagsljus och förtätning i detaljplaneringen vilket ökar betydelsen för en tydligare definiering av dagsljuskrav. För en stadstillväxt är det viktigt att uppmärksamma detta problem och öka medvetenheten hos de involverade aktörerna för att möjliggöra täthet bland bostäder utan att dessa äventyrar varandras dagsljustillgång. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur väl dagsljus och förtätning kan samexistera i täta bostadsområden. Metod: Studien tillämpar en kombination av kvalitativ- och kvantitativt inriktad forskning där frågeställningarna besvaras genom litteraturstudier, intervjuer och fallstudie. Resultat: Förtätning har en avsevärd effekt på dagsljustillgången där bostäder i bottenplan ofta är de mest utsatta. Olika kvartersstrukturer bidrar till varierade dagsljusförhållanden där detta bör planeras i tidigt skede. Värderingar kring dagsljusplanering skiljer sig mellan byggherre, arkitekt och kommun där varje aktörs åsikter präglas av yrkesroll. För att dagsljustillgången inte äventyras i täta kvartersområden bör stor vikt läggas på avskärmningsvinkel och bröstningshöjd där avskärmningsvinkeln får maximalt uppgå till 50°. Konsekvenser: Det är viktigt att samtliga involverade aktörer delar likvärdigt förhållningssätt till dagsljusplanering. Planering av dagsljus är möjligt i detaljplaneringen och bör ske för att undvika senare problematik. Om samexistens av dagsljus och förtätning ska se bör dagsljuskraven sänkas eller bedömas på bostadsnivå. Om detta inte är möjligt, bör en täthetsgräns införas för att täthet kan ske korrekt utan att äventyra dagsljuset. Begränsningar: Resultatet i studien är tillämpbart för studiens specifika fall, dock kan det implementeras i ett kvartersområde med liknande förutsättningar och därmed generaliseras. / Purpose: As urbanization increases, the need for household grows significantly. As a solution, dense urban environment has become a social trend for promoting an ecologically and socially sustainable society and a strategy for the housing shortage. As densification reduces segregation and increases security in residential areas, it entails difficulties and challenges in housing planning. Daylight constitutes a large part of it. Meanwhile, research has shown that daylight access has positive effects on humans’ physical and mental health. However, a large part of Swedish households does not meet the required daylight levels. It is argued that municipalities do not want to address the problem because the lack of knowledge and engagement. At present, the connection between density and daylight is not regulated in the detail planning which increases the importance of a distinct definition of daylight requirements. In order to allow city growth, it is important to address the problem and raise awareness among the involved actors. It is important in order to enable density among homes without these endangering each other's daylight access. The purpose with this study is to investigate how well daylight and densification can coexist in dense residential areas. Method: The study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative research. Data is collected through literature studies, interviews and a case study. Findings: Densification has a considerable effect on the daylight access, specifically on the ground floor dwellings. Different typologies contribute to varied light conditions and should be planned at an early stage. Approach to daylight planning differ between the developer, architect and municipality where the opinions of each actor are characterized by the position. In order to not jeopardize the daylight access in dense neighborhood areas, great emphasis should be placed on obstruction angle and sill height of the windows with an obstruction angle no more than 50°. Implications: It is important that all the actors involved share an equal approach to daylight planning. Daylight planning is possible in the detailed planning and should be done to avoid later problems. If the coexistence of daylight and densification is to be seen, daylight requirements should be lowered or demanded at the residential level. If this is not possible, a density limit should be introduced so that densification can take place correctly without jeopardizing the daylight. Limitations: The result of the study is applicable to the specific case of the study, however, it can be implemented in a neighborhood area with similar conditions and thus be generalized.

Reinterpreting the issues of urban density development in Hong Kong, this thesis studies the spatial-temporal production processes of Sham Shui Po as a high density social space. Lefebvre’s theory of ‘the production of space’ is applied for a qualitative-based theoretical-empirical analysis. This study criticizes past literature on urban density issues in Hong Kong, dominated by discourses built upon absolute space approach, for their reductionist methodologies and findings simplifying man-space relations and concealing in-depth socio-political implications. The analysis is centred on three dialectically related elements: spatial practices, conceived spaces (objective, abstract knowledge of space), and lived spaces (subjective values on space). Deciphering the geographical-historical interactions of the spatial trialectics over Sham Shui Po in general and at individual level, particularly residential and street-commercial spaces, this thesis suggests that Sham Shui Po is deeply influenced by the spatial abstractions of formal density control comprising planning knowledge, legal establishment, capitalist processes, and informal control on spatial practices. They have together rendered Sham Shui Po a space technically and functionally organized in terms of the development of residential and street spaces, resulting in massive property development, widespread space subdivision for high density dwellings, and unique street life with dynamic and transient concentration of corporeality and materiality. It is also found that recently inhabitants are subject to a dissipation of spatial resistance for alternative dwelling practices due to oppressions from continuously enhanced conceived spaces re-imposing on them and their living spaces. Individuals influenced by consequentially renewed social identities can also be found trapped into high density spaces physically and institutionally, as their spatial practices have been separated, confined and simplified within both interior-residential and exterior-street spaces. Sham Shui Po reveals itself as different spatial mismatches when inhabitants’ lived spaces for securing their spaces of everyday life are without proper response. Deepening the spatial traps and mismatches, the research area is as well undergoing redevelopment processes in reproducing other forms of high density physical fabric, at the expense of original socio-spatialities, through spatial default and historical disconnection
