Letter of Motivation.

I believe architecture should have life .

It should be empathetic towards the cultural values of a c o m m u n i t y, y e t c h a l l e n g e w h a t i s c o n v e n t i o n a l i n o r d e r t o p r o g r e s s a n d b e t t e r a s o c i e t y. I t s h o u l d a d d r e s s t h e changing lifestyles of the new millennial and interact with the beliefs of the past.

This is my philosophy that I have striven to adhere to during my architectural studies. The concept of fluidity; that is being able to change and adapt to the social circumstance and immediate environment. This is also a motivator for wanting to travel over seas to study and wor k, gaining a new perspective on design and living environments that are are half a world apar t from New Zealand, and how to adapt and proffer new ideas and influences.

As indicated, I am passionate about renewable, sustainable architecture . I believe that architecture should have the ability to adapt and grow as an organisation or entity changes, reforming the consumerist and throwaway attitude o f o u r s o c i e t y. I ’ m i n t e r e s t e d i n h o w t h i s p h i l o s o p h y a p p l i e s in extreme environments where often the built environments a r e v e r n a c u l a r, c o n s t r u c t e d w i t h l o c a l c r a f t s m a n s h i p a n d technology; and also investigating how architecture can be progress with the integration of outsourced technologies a n d p h i l o s o p h y, w h i l e s t i l l r e s p e c t i n g a n t h r o p o l o g i c a l v a l u e s .

I have enclosed my application as per your recommendations and I thank your for the oppor tunity to progress in my chosen career field.

Himalayan school design wins architectural award 16 Nov 2016

Enrol

A design for a Nepalese school originally established by Sir Edmund Hillary won third year Bachelor of Architectural Studies student Carson Drain the inaugural sustainability award recently.

Bachelor of Architectural Studies student Carson Drain the inaugural Jasmax sustainability award with this design for a school in the Himalaya, originally built by Sir Edmund Hilary.

Connect with us

The award was established by Jasmax who will sponsor it for five years.

Drain’s design for the challenging project was informed by his love of humanitarian work.

“Originally the site was the first school that Sir Edmund Hillary built in 1961. He built a collection of them as part of the Himalayan Trust and this was the first one I looked at. I talked to my grandfather and it turns out he knew the guy who was running the school, Jim Strang, who is teaching the Nepalese teachers how to teach the New Zealand curriculum.”

Drain interviewed Strang, including the interview as part of his exhibit in the EXIT end of year show, along with a model of the school and concept plans.

The concept design shows the inaccessibility of the school, high in the Himalayan sherpa village of Khumjung.

Social sustainability was a strong focus of the design. The site also demanded this – at 4000m, four to five days walk from the nearest road, the project demanded collaboration, reuse of materials and sensitivity to the social fabric of Khumjung Village, essentially a Sherpa village, with a mix of wealth and poverty and different religious views.

Drain's design maximises solar gain to capture the sun's warmth as there are no resources availa for heating the buildings.

The current school is a traditional bricks and mortar building that has been partially destroyed by earthquakes “They predicted that due to the Himalayan fault, there will likely be another earthquake in 10 years, so that is influence into my design, how to seismically protect it.”

“They predicted that due to the Himalayan fault, there will likely be another earthquake in 10 years, so that is an influence into my design, how to seismically protect it.”

To do this, Drain used the concept of a Gabion basket; a steel basket that holds rubble and stone and has mo flexibility than traditional building methods. Also improving on traditional design, Drain would open the buildin the south to make the most of solar gain and capture heat. In the resource-challenged villages, warm building are given a low priority, but with good design the children could be warmer while they learn.

The design is passive solar and uses local and recycled materials that are applicable to the environment and circumstance. The walls are constructed from gabion baskets -the cages easily transpor table and seismically stable.

The south facing facade is south facing for solar gain and is fully glazed with a cabled system having recycled car windshields which are laminated, UV treated and stackable for transpor tation.

An entrepreneurial group with small funding build themselves a floating transitional community from repurposed floating material, temporarily to occupy the space.

Constructed from modest materials, its elevated from the industrial level to have a separation of living and wor k. A creative entrapment, the project will integrate the public who will in turn offer back to the resident businesses as they become established. The micro businesses will be sponsored by a ‘parent company’ which will help fund the project. An initiative that will inspire to build with a social conscience.

This concept explores the fluidity of space and the seamless transition through the interior and external spaces.

The space is constructed from timber struc足tural members which interlink, similar to a teepee structure. Spaces are enveloped by a tem足porary, removable membrane which provides the external shell and internal partitions. It will have waterproof, acoustic and insulation properties and will permit the alteration of spaces within the structure by simply wrapping the membrane around the structural members as de足sired.

Services are ducted below the floor underground to be procured as necessary by ten足 ants. The structural members
