Streamlines, vortices and plumes: environmental models and their shifting targets.
No full textEngineering environmental simulation devices such as heliodons, wind tunnels and water
tables are generally understood as distinct from and technical supplements to the architectural
models they test. In this conventional disciplinary exchange, architects design models
that are then tested and verified within environmental simulation chambers, yielding insights
about environmental performance. In this thesis, a closer look at environmental models,
through precedent analysis and through physical prototyping, challenge this disciplinary
delineation, situating the device simulating environmental phenomena as active agents in
the architectural design process. The main research question this thesis asks is: How do
physical environmental models “make knowable” the nonvisual environmental “phenomena
object” of airflow? The key objective of this research is to establish a framework for
discussing architecture’s exchanges with its atmospheric surroundings through both close
reading of existing environmental models in context and through prototyping them using
architectural tools and techniques.
Models distil and through this distillation, new relationships between models and target systems,
between models and methodologies, between models and their constituent components,
are revealed. Historian of Science D. Graham Burnett’s analogical/ontological model
distinction provides a theoretical framework for discussing models in context and for
describing architectural insights yielded by working with environmental models in particular.
Burnett suggests that the relationship between a model and its target system is neither
static nor unidirectional; it is, in fact, the dialogues between the two that allow models to
play their most productive roles as design and thinking tools. This thesis builds on Burnett’s
distinction by suggesting that the productive dialogues that can occur between models and
their target systems also occur internally within the constituent components of the model
itself. In the case of environmental models, the three main components that establish this
dialogue are the instrument that generates a controlled environment, the materialisation
of air as a moving phenomena, and the architectural model itself. These dialogues are most
productive when the relationship either between components or between models and
target system shifts, revealing new readings, or productive misreadings.
Three case study models and prototyping of three types of environmental model illustrate
this thesis. Chapter 2 moves from the phenomena of air movement captured in
Étienne-Jules Marey’s 1900-1902 wind tunnel photographs, providing a general introduction
to flow visualisation, to the mechanics of the wind tunnel itself, offering a way of framing
environmental models as sensitive mediating instruments. Marey’s work moves from phenomena
to instrument, establishing reciprocities between the two. In chapter 3, Victor and
Aladar Olgyay’s 1955-1963 thermoheliodon acts as a case study for highlighting the shifting
relationships between environmental models and their target systems in light of developments
surrounding climate control in post-war American suburbia. This chapter reads environmental
models in relation to their target systems while also showing how a deliberate
misreading, in this case of the thermoheliodon as a model of architecture, reconciles some
tensions evident in the actual architectural model photographed on the testing bed. This
chapter moves from an architectural context of climate control to the thermoheliodon as
a controlled model environment to explore two models of architecture--one predicated
on environmental mediation and the other predicated on encapsulation. In chapter 4, David
Boswell Reid’s 1844 test tube convection experiments acts as a point of departure for
aligning a little-known modelling technique, the filling box technique, with a contemporary
design agenda predicated on thermal variability. Unlike Marey’s wind tunnels and the Olgyay’s
thermoheliodon, Reid’s experiments are extreme distillations, allowing them to operate
readily as devices for architectural speculation. This chapter provides a closer reading of
the relationship between the phenomena of convection and architecture as a vessel for this
phenomena. A series of filling tank models illustrates themes explored in the chapter while
also suggesting a counter model of architecture, one predicated on establishing equilibrium
with its surroundings.
The design component of this thesis entails prototyping three types of environmental model—
wind tunnels, water tables, and filling tanks—all of which make air flow associated with
natural ventilation visible. Each model type is described in a catalogue including drawings,
photographs, and videos; each catalogue is aligned with a related case study chapter, establishing
reciprocities between insights revealed through reading environmental models and
those revealed through making them. The models are designed, constructed and evaluated
based on their ability to create a steady-state environment of legible airflow. It is through
the act of constructing the instrumentation of the model and through the materialisation of
air that models reveal vantage points for considering architectural environmental mediation.
These insights are in some cases tectonic, revealing ways of thinking about joints, surfaces,
and assembly logics. They are in other cases responses to working with forces associated
with pressure of air or weight of water. Fundamentally, the prototyping process revealed
air’s extreme sensitivity to both constructional anomalies and external disruption, revealing
the complexity of creating a steady-state environmen

Nature's Great Experiment
No full textThis project was funded by an AHRC Small Grant in the Creative & Performing Arts (2006) and a Wellcome Trust Sciart Grant (2006). Baseman worked with renowned behavioural geneticist Professor Terrie Moffitt to create three films that question the study of twins and how they help our knowledge and understanding of mankind and humanity. This is the first time that an artist has worked within the Institute of Psychiatry and in collaboration with Professor Terrie Moffitt and the Twins Early Development Studies Research Team.
In the work ‘Tape 1 Tape 2’ we hear a mother describe her very difficult relationship with her identical twin children. This film is based on an original recording made by a research worker from the Twin Studies Research Team. In the work ‘Laws of Variation’ we hear Professor Moffitt discuss ideas around importance of variation in human behaviour, while we see a re-edited version of a 16mm medical training film from 1957. ‘Nature’s Great Experiment’ features Lisa Cant, a member of the Twin Studies Research Team, describing her experience conducting interviews with the mothers of twins and the twins themselves, within their homes.
The films have been screened nationally and internationally, including The Wellcome Collection, London (2007), Monash University, Melbourne, Australia (2007), the Hatton Gallery, University of Newcastle (2007) and the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London (2007). The research has been disseminated through conferences and lectures, including a lecture at the Darwin Symposium, Shrewsbury Art Centre, organized by Tom Shakespeare in July 2006, a screening and panel discussion (with Dr. Shakespeare and Professor Moffitt) at The Wellcome Collection in May 2007 and a dedicated website launched in May 2007
