HYBRID PENTAMINO and THERMAL DYNAMICS

I've been told that I deviated from my initial design attempt to create an inversion of the wall condition through the reconfiguration in the pentamino. The initial idea was inspired by the circulatory system that extension of heat transfer surface by the application of undulating walls, with exterior performs the function of a lung, while the interior heat transfer happens within the bounded thermal zones of thick and smooth walls.

The thermal dynamic intent now is about air flow: how the hot air (convection) running through the folded walls could help retain heat in a cold environment as a radiator (radiation), while accelerating heat transfer by maximizing the contact area with the exterior.

The problems need to be resolved: circulation; thick wall reconfigured spatial implication; formal language of the walls; think in section: there has to be three floors; air flows
