The Art Connection
Urban Revitalization / professional project 2 (final dissertation) /shamus mulcahy “How can an architectural intervention act as the catalyst to inner city revitalization by engaging with conditions of social and historical significance as well as those beyond the physical realm. Can the physical, functional, visual and aesthetic qualities of an intervention lend impetus for other places to also develop?�

Port Tower & Residence Biomic Architecture / Design Studio 7 / Prof. Stephen Loo
The proposition for a 17-storey mixed use tower focuses on the influences / effects of flow as the main building form generator. Reflecting on the vernacular architecture of the ‘Kasbah’ (clustered community housing) in minimizing solar gain, this project does so vertically.
• Incorporating the 4 Flows into form-making

• Form Flow testing
Cinema4D virtual testing
Wind Tunnel physical testing
• The building skin response to
(i)High humidity and fog = water harvesting (ii)Low humidity, hot, dry air =evaporative cooling
Laser-cut fog-catching skin
• Internal Courtyard Northern Facade The curved areas direct the wind around the building and optimizes the cooling effect. The fog catcher inlets streamline wind flow which is then subjected to the stack effect in aiding the continuous movement of air between the double skin façade.
Southern Facade Clad significantly in Photovoltaic panels . The expression of these sustainable features on the façade sends a message to the community on the ‘green agenda’ we’re on.
Overall Vernacular Emphasis thermal mass, courtyards and passive cooling reduce dependence on energy and give birth to a more sustainable architecture.
• Sustainable System
