ABSTRACT

There is a general agreement that much of the syntax of modern architecture contributed to design buildings that were often inadequately adapted to climate conditions. However, there are some renowned examples that, while consistent with modern tenets, prove that assumption to be wrong. Amongst them the E.1027 house designed by Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici stands out. This research aims to contextualise and assess the quality of the E.1027 overall design in relation to thermal comfort. The original texts of Gray and Badovici on the E.1027 are contrasted with the results obtained from a series of simulations using thermal performance specialist software in terms of sun exposure and ventilation. Additionally, the building's expected thermal comfort performance is assessed under a combination of three methods, Givoni's, Fanger's and ASHRAE 55. These simulations and environmental analysis results showed that Gray's and Badovici's deep understanding of the sun's impact and the cross ventilation needed to provide comfort can be modelled and confirmed. At the same time, it is demonstrated that the designers did indeed produce a design as sophisticated as it was comfortable, while distilling the two major architectural trends at the onset of modernity: neoplasticism and Corbusean imprint.

摘要

人们普遍认为，现代建筑的许多句法有助于设计通常不能充分适应气候条件的建筑。然而，有一些著名的例子，虽然符合现代原则，但证明这种假设是错误的。其中，由 Eileen Gray 和 Jean Badovici 设计的 E.1027 住宅脱颖而出。本研究旨在对与热舒适性相关的 E.1027 整体设计的质量进行情境化和评估。将 E.1027 上的 Gray 和 Badovici 的原始文本与使用热性能专家软件在阳光照射和通风方面进行的一系列模拟结果进行对比。此外，建筑物的预期热舒适性能是在三种方法的组合下评估的，Givoni's, Fanger' s 和 ASHRAE 55。这些模拟和环境分析结果表明，格雷和巴多维奇对太阳影响的深刻理解以及提供舒适所需的交叉通风可以建模和确认。同时，事实证明，设计师确实创造了一种既精致又舒适的设计，同时提炼出现代性开始时的两大建筑趋势：新塑性和 Corbusean 印记。
