Integrated Architectural Systems: Integrated Design of Wind Turbines With High-Rise Buildings

The aim of this study is to examine ‘integrated architecture’ and ‘system’ concepts, questioning the “architectural systems”; during the integration process of building systems and ecosystems, integration of building systems and wind turbines under the becoming important of renewable energy sources, in this context in recent years the wind energy, about which detailed research is initiated in world literature and which is initiated to be used widely, examining the integration strategies, architectural, structural and environmental dimensions of the subject, creation of integration design criteria. the starting point of the study is; searching the integration method of architectural systems. nowadays because of the increasing demand of energy and decreasing of present energy sources make the usage of alternative energy sources necessary. for this reason, it is provided to deal with renewable energies as sub-systems which satisfies the integration between building and ecosystem. in this context, 3 building example in which integrated wind turbines are used is determined, then it is tried to determine the integration potentials, design and process features between architectural design and building form. within this detection study, shape of the placement of wind turbines and architectural design criterias of buildings is analyzed with photoshopportable and autocad 2009 programs. eventually, in this study it is introduced that the integration potential of wind turbines is related with building form.
