Year Design Report Second year was a well-received year for me as I was encouraged to design with no limits in terms of creative exploration. This year was more about the design process and learning to create spaces, think sequentially, volumetrically and generally learn the skills required by budding architects. Although the year was not smooth, sailing all through I am confident of the skills I learnt and believe I am on the right track to third year and to becoming a competent architect.

Placed, Displaced The placed displaced project was a very interesting project as it was through this project I realized that creating a space from a volumetric shape is very difficult. Tutors often advise against creating a room from a volumetric shape but after this project I re-alized that they were right as it limits the ability to freely create spaces and can sometimes lead you to the create awkward rooms. This project forced me to come up with creative solutions to optimize space and develop the habit of carefully considering volumetric options.

Living on the edge The living on the edge project helped to establish the consideration of public and private spaces and I think helped me learn how to effectively merge the public and private parts of a building design. In this project I also learnt to create a building design based on a concept although I did not fully understand this at the time, I tried to ensure the building represented the community in which it was situated in. I did relatively well in this project although I did not receive a high grade, I learnt that as an architect to design freely and tap into various aspects of the site and the community could help with the design aspect of the course a lot.

Civic Centred The “Civic Centered” project was the best project I had in second year I did not do too well as I designed the building based on form and this lead to the creation of a horrible closed up design. I had to review the design over the Easter holiday and after this was done, I realized that designing is about being dynamic and loose with your ideas as my methods were mainly a systematic arrange-ment of rooms and this was a major problem for me throughout second year.

Cross over The crossover project was interesting because it gave me a taste of what working in an architectural firm would be like, the group work was quite good as my group gelled well and we were all actively involved in the project. The inclusion of the civil engineers in the project helped some of us (architects realize) that building design is a lot more than just your imagination and an in-depth knowl-edge of the materials and how they function is required. Overall this year was an experience to remember, as all the crucial lessons are thought and learnt here and from my experience, third year is one to look forward to. In third year I aim to effectively make use of all my experiences both good and bad learnt in second year to create better designs.

ENVIROMENTALDESIGN AND SERVICES COURSEWORK REPORT (ARC 2010)

Insulation: The initial building insulation material was initially rockwool because it is a recycled material, highly sustainable and save 100 times the energy uesd to manufacture the heat woven material.further research into insulations showed that Optimum-R is the most suitable replacement because its economi-cal, 90% recyclable and has a higher level of thermal conductivity.

Initial U-Values and Element Specifica-

Final U-Values and Element Specifications

Roof:The tutors flat is on intermediate floor therefore I tried to alternate the specifications of the floor above to provide attenuation, to better provide a more homely feeling .the basic floor specifications were, 10 mm timber planks, 6mm polyurethane adhesive, 120 mm concrete slab, 75 mm Rockwool insulation, 14 mm gypsum. The floor above the tutor’s flat had the following specifications, 12.5 mm timber boards, 6mm polyurethane adhesive, 120 mm concrete (light weight) slab, 160 mm Kingspan Optim-R insulation, and 12.5 mm plywood.

Walls:For all the walls that enclosed the tutors flat I used the basic external wall specifications to help attenuate noise from various areas in the foyer. The initial specifications were, 100 mm concrete (medium) outer leaf, 120 mm rock wool insulation, 50 mm concrete (medium) inner leaf, and 30 mm gypsum board. But after the u value was calculated I had to make some adjustments and I ended up with these specifications 100 mm concrete (medium) outer leaf, 120 mm Kingspan Optim-R insulation, 70 mm concrete (lightweight) inner leaf, and 10 mm plywood board.

Window: Initially the windows in the tutor’s flat were double-glazed but this helped to yield a low credit rating with speci-fications of 12.5 mm window glass, 10 mm air, and 12.5 mm window glass. Thee final specifications of triple glazing with 12.5 mm glass pane, 31.25 mm krypton gas-filled cavity, 12.5 mm glass pane, 31.25mm kryp-ton gas-filled cavity, 12.5 mm glass pane helped to yield a higher credit rating.

Final Daylight Study

Initial Daylight Study

Lux Values and Light Study Key

The lux value bar above helps to show the intencity of the lighting in differnet colours. the initial daylight study shows a large amount of light flux close to the windows wihile using basic glass , idealy having the space covered in blue and green should provide adiquate lighting for inhabitation of the space. The large amount of flux mentioned earlier are the patches of white in the false colour rendering and this problem needs to be rectified.

Lux Values and Light Study Key

Energy StrategyLow Emisivity glass:This refers to a surface that emits low levels of radiant thermal energy,these soda lime windows are made of glass coated with thin silver nitrate and anti reflection layers.This prevents heat from difusing through the window making the building a high energy rating, it does this by preventing the entry of UV radiation but allows the passage of light and reteains the room heat .This stops overheating of the space by preventing heat from passing trough ,thus the home doesn’t over heat during the summer .

Thermal mass:This refers to the retention of heat in a material over time within a material due to its density,concrete being a dense material pocesses a relatively efficent thermal mass it absorbs and releases heat slowly.This will help in the retention of heat due to concrete’s thermal emit-tance ,this would help the raise the en-

ergy efficeincy of the building.

Heat absorbed during the day

time.

Heat expelled during the night

time.

Lighting:Installing fixed energy efficient light fittings to maximize the electrical effi-ciency of the building. This should be implemented in all part of the building to fully utilize the effects of the effi-ciency of this method, CO2 emissions are

reduced this way also.

MVHR System:Mechanical ventilation heat recovery system is based on the continuous supply of fresh air & extraction of stale air to ensure the air in the house about ten hours a day. This id done by an array of plastic plates with a cold and warm flow over every second plate .the plates are designed so that the air flows over little triangular ducts, where every warm trian-gle is surrounded by three cold ones that makes it a highly effective means of air ventilation.

The altered dialux image above shows that the initial white patch-es have been reduced by the introduction of tripled glazed glass, this enabled me improve the light quality of the space. The glass that would be used in this glazing would be a lot thicker and the space between the glass panels would be filled with krypton gas, thereby further reducing the light but not significantly.

Form of Structure The foyer building is mainly made up of concrete, due to its fairly repetitive nature the skeletal concrete frame structure seamed to be the most appropriate structural form for the building. The flat base of the skeletal process would provide a sort of raft foundation, which given the relatively loose soil structure of the site would reduce the chances of future problems with the building ‘s foundation in relation to the site. This process would also support the irregular window structure located in the workshop, as these irregular windows would pose a problem to other ba-sic forms of construction. The reason for the selection of this structural form is that it is relatively inexpensive and saves a lot on building costs, which could then be used tofurther enhance the building for example the purchase of higher-grade insulation.

49

Tectonic Intent The use of concrete in constructing my building is related to the various advantages of construction process, the speed, durability and stability of construction is a key factor as most alternative ways of construction are either fast and relatively low in durability or are slow and possess high durability. The simplify of the construction en-ables a high level of quality control as in my design I have also experimented with different types of insulation and building materials. Using the concrete block construction the thermal mass the blocks possess with the added insulation helps to create a well-insulated building reducing energy cost, this also helps in noise attenuation which would be a problem because the foyer is located off lime street. The foyer windows will be made with wood to prevent cold bridg-ing through the frame and because plastic frames do not possess the thermal mass required to retain significant heat., thereby making the building a lot more cost effective. The construction process makes the building a relatively low maintenance building although it depends on the skill level of the construction workers, compared to other forms of construction like timber frame.

Access for AllGeneral Access and Parking The main access to the building is the grand parade road to the east of the site,As there is an existing car park next to the access root but the car park can be enlarged to facilitate disabled parking. As the main access on the ground floor is about 3m above the access point, a disabled person would be required to traverse a distance of 45 meters before they get to threshold of the ground floor east entrance. The ramp will be at a gradient of 1:12, it will also have a rough surface to prevent slippage and would have a width of 1.8m to allow for spacious movement.

Doors Door opening in the building are between 1.2m to 1.8m in width and to ensure the ease of access for the disabled all major doors are manually con-trolled power doors with the push pad at a comfortable distance for the dis-abled and people of petit statue. All doors apart from those in private spac-es like the bathroom are fitted with glass panels to create a visual link to prevent collisions, also tactile paving is present at both major entrances of the building to provide hazard warnings to the visual impaired.

Stairs The main circulation stair case has hazard warnings placed at the top and the bottom of all landings to warn the visually impaired, the nosing’s of the stairs also have a contrasting colour of about 50mm and all risers are closed to prevent tripping. The hand rails are 900mm in height from the sur-face of the stair and continues along the landing .to assist the visually impaired the wired rail stair has a grooved wooden hand rail to contrast with the surrounding white concrete and follows the stair regulations having ris-ers of 170mm and goings (threads) of 300mm.

Lifts As the building has no half levels or areas with alternating heights on any floor, the traversal of the building is a relatively straight forward task .a maneuvering space of over a 1.4 square meter is provided for both eleva-tors both within the building and outside the building. The elevator buttons are located 900mm above the ground for ease of access and is finished with LED lights to assist the visually impaired. The 2.3m by 2.3m cabin has handrails on both sides to assist the elderly and reflections are kept to a minimal to prevent discomfort for the visual impaired.

Reception At the reception a wheel chair friendly desk has been designed with a space of 1500m by 1500m is provided foe maneuvering, with a knee recess of 550mm deep and 700mm above the floor level. The reception also provides a hearing enhancement system and an audio induction tape for those with hearing disabilities.
