Spatial interface of buildings in hot-summer and warm-winter regions based on climate adaptation

Premised on the intrinsic relationship between climate, architecture and space, this study conducts a comprehensive review of existing research on the interface of architectural space between climate adaptation. In this paper, the principle and mechanism of the ‘climate adaptation–space interface’ are established by examining typical building cases in regions characterised by hot summers and warm winters while factoring in the limitations of previous studies. Finally, employing computational fluid dynamics simulation technology as the primary research method, this study innovatively proposes three key combination modes for the climate adaptation–space interface. Moreover, it obtains design strategies that can optimise ventilation, shading and lighting effects simultaneously within these three modes. These design strategies include the following: (a) ‘component–concave–convex’ – integrating a single-layer horizontal component with concave–convex window openings; (b) ‘window–cavity’ – combining windows with a permeability of 60% and cavities; and (c) ‘components–windows’ – incorporating folding components with windows.
