Book - Phase 1 - Phenomenon _Wind
WIND - SOFT MATERIAL - BODY




Book about my chosen meteorological phenomenon - Wind
The behaviour of wind and how it occur
How the wind affect the human body
A covering in focus <textile> - the materiality and properties 


<Wind is an invisble meteorological phenomenon. It is a movement in the air and can only be seen when it moves other visible things as the water, trees, leaves etc.
It can although still affect and be felt by the body.    

It can make the temperature seem colder than it actually is and thereby make you freeze or cool you down on a hot summerday. It depends on the wind speed, the wind direction in proportion to your body and how the outdoor room you are located in is organized. 

Beside affecting the skin/ body temperature the wind also affects the hearing, your mouth and eyes it can dry up your mouth, it can be really noisy and it can makes your eyes water.

But what happens when you are covered by a soft materiale let say some kind of textile? Will it give you the same kind of lee as a static material does and how will it effect your experience of the environment outside the cover. 

As the affect of the wind on our body often has a “negative” influence you often cover yourself against the wind and this covering is often made by static materials to make lee whether it is a fence or it is a actual house.>
