In addition to the longitudinal direction of the pavillion, slinky that has inside the 5 major studio spaces within the park. this direction from southeast from southeast to Northwest could be considered as or create a wind passage (air flow passage through the building from southeast to Northwest using natural ventilation, especially that each studio space individually conditioned and heated. and the intermediate comfort zone under the bubble could be subject to natural ventilation.
I am working on where the air comes from. however above is my thoughts about the air flow within my building. Please advice.

Amr,
Great graphics, here is a question: How do you intend to draw the air to the single location at the top? My feeling is that wind passage will not be enough unless you create some sort of funnel like scoop where it enters, and then you need to worry about air expanding inside the bubble. Perhaps you will need fans at the top to draw air in that direction, this presents a challenge with noise.
Maybe Gerry could jump on this wagon and give us an idea that could be environmentally friendly, noiseless and attractive. I just thought of something, perhaps the graphic or the direction of the arrows should change and be shown as follow:
1. Air enters.
2. Air expands and climatizes the environment.
3. Air is drawn out at the top via suction fans that are activated with sensors as they measure indoor air quality.
Anyone think this could work? Anyone? Vader? Skywalker?
P.S. What's with the 4:57 a.m. posting? Are you sure you are on U.S. Eastern time? Are you in Alexandria?
Eddie,
Like everybody else, I have alot of work during the day for many deadlines at work, my only chance to work for my Master is from 9 pm after dinner till 5 am. and that what I do intensivly. I sleep from 5 am till 8 am , some days like last night I just couldnt do it, i slept at 11 pm. anyways after the 22nd of febreuary i will have aloooot of rest and perhaps vacation.
I will consult Gerry by email about your point, I think its very important to prepare the air expand strategy.
Werner,
I have found your comment of 'jurasic park' very good.
I tottaly agree with you, you convencied me with your point.
No one including me wants to spend the intensive in jurasic park -:).
Thats why, Iam working again on my plans to introduce teh rachitecture elements. more to the eyes of users. and the rocks will be limited use only in lanscape exterior and withing the trees inside the pavillion. not exposed in a strong way to the classrooms and dorms as i did before.
Yes my intension was to make this place a school and to create a realtion with the greens of trees, not the browns grey of rocks and Dinasours. I just got lost in the middle of doing my work and forgot that this is not an Aquarium.
Amr,

Airflow looks so cool and the colors are so seductive! Very nice sections. I can see the air exiting. Where does it come in?
Probably you will need to de-stratify the air (free space fans no ducts) for the health of the plants and to distribute the warm air from solar – so your arrows would become circles.
STRUCTURE: what are you using to draw this funny caterpillar, Amr? SketchUp? It looks as if the cable lines will follow the trusses.
It looks to me that you have gone with a vertical wall glazing system on the south – this is a good idea – good solar in the winter – and you can worry less about too much sun overhead? Or is it all the same? Better thermally to reduce the curve transmission and increase the vertical south using the interior surface of the curve to reflect the light evenly.
Amr,
I think your sustainability sections are great. I like the diagrams showing air flow and green space. Keep up the great work.
