Cross Ventilation: Two Diagonal Openings

A Mediterranean modern space designed for ventilation. There are two openings at opposite corners of the room: one is a low arched opening facing a cool courtyard, and the other is a small square window located high up on the opposite side. Cool air enters from the low opening, and hot air exits from the high opening, creating a cross-ventilation airflow. In the image, light white linen curtains can be seen blowing in the wind, papers on the table are held down, and plant leaves lean to one side. All doors are open. Avoid: concentrating openings on the same wall, using sealed fixed windows, making air conditioning the primary cooling method, or keeping all doors and windows closed.

一個為通風設計的地中海現代空間。房間的兩個對角各有一個開口:一個是朝向陰涼中庭的低矮拱洞,另一個是位於對側高處的小方窗。冷空氣從低處進來、熱空氣從高處出去,形成穿堂的氣流。畫面裡可以看到輕薄的白色麻紗簾被風吹起、桌上的紙被壓住、植物的葉子偏向一側。門都是開著的。避免:把開口集中在同一面牆、使用密閉的固定窗、加入空調設備成為主要的降溫方式、讓所有的門窗都關著。
