Article Preview

Abstract:

Double skin wall has not only achieved ecological value, but also become an essential architectural language. However, the double skin wall is abused without efficiency consideration in the design of the high rise. The author classifies the double-skin in terms of function based on its technical features, working principle and discusses the relationship between tectonic system and external climate condition on reduction of self-consumption, control of light and utilization of natural ventilation and solar energy in order to estimate the applicable conditions and scope, providing rational selection basis in the usage of double-skin for the high rise design.
