Assignment 1: Comparative Case Studies Poster & Booklet
Within the contextual climate and site are the first steps to optimise the benefits provided by the specific environment. Design solutions shall strive to achieve energy efficiency and to use environmentally friendly materials of high quality and durability in order to decrease waste. The basic approach towards good passive design is to orientate, to shade, to insulate, to ventilate and to daylight. Building have a primary function to provide an internal environment suitable for the purpose of the building. The architectural passive design consideration in designing a building is primarily influenced by its responsiveness to its site context. The important factors that should be considered including site planning and orientation, daylighting, facade design, natural ventilation, thermal insulation and strategic landscaping.
Assignment 1: Passive Green Building Case Studies Poster & Booklet
Duration: 8 weeks
Objectives:
-
To critically appraise application of chosen strategies within different cases.
-
To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
We were to choose two (2) case studies (preferably 3-5 story height only) on the application of passive sustainable design strategies within an architectural project; 1 from tropical climate region and 1 from other climatic region (Arid, Mediterranean, Temperate Continental, Polar) and come out with a detailed analysis and comparison between the two case studies.
