Abstract

We all experience steamy, soot shrouded metropolises. Although we enjoy their advantages, due to heavy air pollution, none of us will want to spend their life in them. The rise in temperature and air pollution in large cities is caused by different reasons. One of them is the air flow regime within the city. Control over the air flow can contribute significantly to the improvement of bio-climate comfort. In contrast to the city, whose soaring building climbing toward the sky from obligatory grid, branched corals channel the surrounding water flow into harmonic and asphyxiation free environment. This article presents a preliminary comparison between those morphological structures, under the assumption that this can lead to new urban structures, and in attempt to break the smog dome that engulfs our cities.
