ARCHITECTURE STUDIO V
Project 1
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.
Project 2
A Green building focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Green Buildings should be designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the
built environment on its surroundings.
