Figure 20: Flow Design analysis simulation demonstration. The lines in the figure shows wind flow,
color of lines represents speed and pressure as per the legend on the upper left side. The values on
the right represent the preset values, which are the same in both before and after design

Existing Site Analysis:
In the existing site analysis, Flow Design demonstrates the wind functions that are completely
ignored in the original site design. As can be seen in the existing site model below (Fig.21), the
wind is simply flowing on top of the buildings and not reaching the urban community main central courtyard ‘plaza’ and also the rest of the urban multiple courtyards are not exposed to wind
ventilation. Furthermore, the wind is essentially interrupted by the unproductive building initial
orientation, building mass and the inefficient building arrangements. As a result, the existing urban community is not entirely utilized by any method or passively used or proficiently directed
in which the flow design simulation below demonstrated as seen by the wind entering the courtyard, which is vertically none (almost zero).

above the central zone courtyard without penetrating
