• Resumen

  • The sustained growth of traffic in European cities resulted in circulatory congestion, a high rate of accidents, and a lack of parking, which has transformed the urban environment, creating environmental conditions different from the originals in profoundly altering the physical environment of its territory. Thus, the heat produced by the increase in the vehicle fleet and consequent burning of fossil fuels in cities has reached significant levels, giving rise to local climatic changes. With the climatic change, the conditions of outer spaces have had a major change, therefore developing new research needed to make it more habitable. The study of coastline comfort gives special interest for its possible marine relationship and its differences with the inner area, for which we have classified the pedestrian circulation defining the influence of its limits, both vertical and horizontal. It is important to determine how the cover of the pedestrian circulation influences the comfort of the pedestrian as well as the various materials with which they are formed, the distance to the coast, the shape of the first front, speed and wind direction. To have a deeper understanding of the possibilities of comfort and design, this will implement other developments that may arise in similar climatic and cultural areas to the Mediterranean climate. As a result of the above, the morphological characteristics typical of a city, and the plot and the different characteristics within cities where it is located, determine the thermal comfort of a town, reacting differently to the wind and solar radiation. The study of the typology of elements that relate to passive cooling in outdoor spaces, such as boulevards, arcades, awnings, porches, gardens, pergolas, create a deep and thorough knowledge of the possibilities of control and design of outer spaces, in this case, analyzing the pedestrian circulation in the coastline. To perform this research work the following questions were made: What happens in outdoor spaces in front of the coastline? To achieve a comfortable place for pedestrians, how does the breeze influence on comfort? Is there a difference in the spaces with or without vegetation? In summer, are shadowless spaces comfortable? Do they depend on the materials? The answer to all these questions was found in a study of Villa Icaria located in Barcelona, Spain.
