BUILDING SERVICE
PROJECT 1 - High-Rise Building at Taylor's
Assignment I
Objectives :
-
To critically appraise application of chosen strategies within different cases.
-
To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
Project Brief:
-
In a group of 4-5 person, students are required 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). -
Identify and compare the passive design strategies applied in both case studies, including factors of; site planning, day lighting, façade design, natural ventilation and strategic landscaping (lecture topics week 2-7).
-
Further analyse and elaborate the impact of these passive strategies on the quality and spatial experience of the chosen project.
PROJECT 2- Application of Building Services
Objectives :
-
To develop students understanding and knowledge of building services systems in design and construction.
-
To apply appropriate building services system and solution for a specific design.
-
To demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of applicability of specific building services systems in the design in response to practical considerations.
Project Brief:
-
This project is related to the students’ studio design project in semester 5 which relates to a domestic size building. We are expected to demonstrate their understanding of building services by proposing and designing the most appropriate systems for the building which include:
i) Cold and Hot water supply system
ii) Sewerage & sanitary system
iii) Drainage system
iv) Electricity supply system
