Guoda’s experiment researches “anthropogenic” wind systems in urban settings that slow down natural airflow. By investigating how exhaustion vents ‘exhaust’ the movement of wind, her project will design and propose new ways of navigating cities amidst artificial wind currents. The experiment  inquires rapid urbanisation and roughening surfaces in Europe’s cities not only from the perspective of altering natural airflow but also as creating new relationships between human-made and environmental forces. Taking its name from the traditional architectural element that created cross-ventilation and passive cooling in buildings, Gouda’s experiment questions what influence will the stagnant air have on imagination in overcrowded city landscapes?
