Project A: Research Paper

​

For this project for Building Science, we are required to choose a research topic and carry out research studies related to the topic, using relevant and necessary software. We are grouped in fours, and for our group, we had decided to base our research on wind chimney. In purpose for this research, we had based our study on the Shalini Ganendra Fine Art Gallery, which is the first and only building in Malaysia featuring the wind chimney, by this time.
