Thank you all for taking your time and for your good input.
I will build some models to test the concept...
What kind of engineer or who should I specifically turn to in re. to wind sensitivity of large shapes and how to optimize them?
Cheerio for now - Ralfonso
Thank you for your time and interest!
I encl. a rendering that will hopefully help with 1.
Any advice for 2. and 3. would be most welcome :)
