Abstract:
This thesis explores the definition of an urban canopy, how civic architecture can create a space for the pedestrian in the city, and the elements which can compose such a space. Experimentation in the urban canopy allows definition into the protective nature of such an archetype. Filtering and entrance techniques are discovered to allow access by the pedestrian only. The structural and spatial composition of the space is also developed to enhance human interaction and usability. Layering provides different levels of access and privacy as different groups use the space. And finally the employ

Abstract:
The study of boundary layer flow through a forest canopy on complex terrain has, until recently, been limited to modelling and laboratory studies. This thesis presents a unique set of field measurements from within and above a canopy situated on a ridge. A climatological study of the observed dataset is presented to identify the significant fea- tures of these flows that differentiate them from air flows above and within a homogeneous canopy on flat terrain. The ridge is found to impact on the flows in the following ways. On the summit the velocity profile resembles that of a canopy profile on
