this proposal must utilise the park space of the site efficaciously; so that nothing is taken away from the community. hence, the building must give back, equivalently what it has taken.

It must metamorphose the existing green-park into an architype of a more sophisticated social and aesthetic value. this project takes the physical and virtual connection to the outdoor environment and translates it into every publicly usable space and floor within the edifice, resultantly reconciling itself with what it has taken from the public. the proposals must use biophilic design principles to create a work environment that improves the work output of its occupants while reducing the effects of the everyday psychological stressors. there must also be 24/7 permeability of the public spaces available in the edifice.

Typical Office Stack

Twisting floor plates allow for increased light permeation into the buidling and reduces air drag on wind facing sides. natural lighting plays a huge importance in regulating ones circadian rythm. as such the building most adopt a shape which allows for flight to enter easily, and in abundance. Lastly, the twisting shape reduces the windloads on the edifice.

The next step is following through with the vegetation existing naturally on the site.

The buildings spiraling form must therefor twist within itself the the existing park functions, and replace it with one of a higher quality, whilst allowing the full accessibility of the public.

A new typology

The office, in the eyes of many has always had a strictly utilitarian purpose, that is, we go to work, we earn money, and we go home.

This example illustrates the typical day for a person of the 21st century. If one were to take a stroll down any metropolitan city, he would see scores of people melancholily making their way to work every morning, and back home every evening. This has become a flavourless cycle within our everyday lives.

Many countries still have exhausting work hours where people are locked up within clustered and sterile offices for hours on end.

The United States of America has an average working week of 40 hours, whilst its European comparisons, United Kingdom, Germany and France, favour a 35-hour week shift. This data results show that North Americans spends approximately 25 percent of their 7 day week, within the office whilst its European comparisons spend approximately 20 percent. This data does not take into consideration the time spent in commuting to and from work, which is an added time taken from each individual’s day.

Research shows that we spend accumulatively an approximation of 90 percent of our day within a building1. Most of this time, we come in contact with very little of the natural environment, and we get very little opportunities to sit back, appreciate and explore the world we have around us. Our biophilic proclivity implores us to interact with the biosphere, and by so doing, my research has persistently elucidated the fact that this will without a doubt, improve our mental and physical health by reducing the toxicity of the urban stimulus.

Consequent to studies, as well as the utilitarian approach people have towards the office, it appears as the most suited place to begin this intervention. The aim is therefore to combine the utility of the office structure with the spirituality and immateriality of the natural environment. The question now is how one can use these theories to develop an architecture language which will effectually reconcile man with the biosphere, whilst improving the overall quality of life within the urban environ.

The Flock, National Museum of Kosovo Pristhina,Kosovo 2017

31

32

The name “Kosovo” in Serbian means “field of black birds”. Kosovars have kept this name, and as such this is their first decision as a country. This design plays upon the meaning of its name, and then derives a motive by amalgamating those birds of the field into a flock, a unit. Birds often form flocks when travelling, this gives the flock a certain amount of power, which individually, would have been impossible. this museum stands a symbol of the tribulations that Kosovo has had to overcome in its past, and urges them to keep strong by continually working together to build their country.

the arK annotto Bay, st. mary 2014

like the biblical ark, this picturesque piece of architecture serves as a beacon of hope for the members of the Gibraltar community. the Ark receives its name for three specific reasons, its protection of the Annotto Bay community during flood and disaster, its position on the hill, and its boat like shape. This design is intended to be the first step in Annotto Bay, St. Mary reaching its goal of vision 2030. the Ark is to one day act as social datum for Annotto Bay and the Gibraltar community. the windmill farm is to serve as the main contributor of sustainable green energy for the community along with the built in photovoltaic glass in the indoor courts roof and ceiling. The wind mill of choice is the helix wind turbine which has been proven to with stand some of the most intense hurricane winds. The design intent of this architecture is exposure, it exposes

structure, it exposes materiality and it exposes its landscape. The landscaping in this project deviates from the traditional methods of landscaping to something a bit more rustic, something true to the arid nature of the site, this will also serve to lessen the expenditure on irrigation on the 3.2 acre site. The materials of choice in this building is anodized steel (for the indoor stadium roof), concrete and bamboo louvers, all of which is exposed. The openness of the indoor court is allowed only through the manipulation of the bamboo louvers, it allows for adequate cross ventilation of the room as day and night breezes whisk through the hilly topography.

•The site is situated on a rural subdivided parcel of land along Gibraltar Road. over half of the site sits on a small hill with the advantage of being a potentially visible development that is easy to locate.

•Surrounding the site are primarily residential type structures, 2 community shops, and an informal garage which serves the district of Gibraltar.

•Given Gibraltar’s fairly good road conditions, driving from the town to the site will take approximately 3-5 minutes.

La Floresta en la cuidad, Performance Centre San Jose, Costa Rica 2015

49

the Performance centre is to be a gateway into Al centro from the east. it is to revitalize the core of San jose which virtually shuts down in the evening. this site is conceived as a portal, threshold and stage, the program for the intervention is to stitch the neighbourhood of escalante to the north east district of carmen, encouraging innovation and the cultural diversity of costa rican people. further, the Performance centre is to be an interactive environment for the public and people in the creative industries. with a focus on the Performing and Visual Arts, the centre should include Music, circus Arts, live street entertainment, the moving image, network applications and projected realms. the centre is to be used by both residents and visitors for day and night time activities as a social hub.

This project was much more than just an architectural project, it involves the issue of urban planning, which, in turn, would aid in the revitalization of the area.

The areas south of the site also suffered from severe social and architectural dilapidation which was contrasted by the more prosperous northern streets. This contrast gave reason for the bipolar nature of the site i.e. beaming with life and activity on one side, and suffocating on the other.

In designing, my goal was to successfully bleed the prosperity of the northern streets into the southern streets by creating social linkages between the two roads.

My main design driver for this project was the rainforest, which is an imperative part of the Costa Rican culture. The goal was to manifest an urbanized forest that would provide shade, social activities and bring the same blooming life that one would find in the Costa Rican rainforest. Consequently, my landscaping incorporates a variety of trees and plants. This concept is carried through to the internal architecture of my edifice, as the landscaping is allowed to permeate into the entry foyer.

La Floresta en la cuidad was to stand up against the city scape like a mountain in the rainforest immersed in tropical trees and lush foliage.

The Habitat Westmoreland, Jamaica 2016

the habitat was a small design competion provided by a private real esttate company i jamaica. A short-listed group of young architects were selected to take part in the competition, and from them a winner would be chosen. Bringing oriental style to the tropics, the habitat is a housing scheme designed to meet the needs of the elderly. Situated in whitehouse,westmoreland , the scheme strives to achieve a sense of community with cluster-like units which are surrounded by a multitude of respite areas.

The habitat will be a relaxing, tranquil space that the elederly and their guests will be able to enjoy!

heat reduction throughout the design, heat gain is negated by the implementation of louvered walls/windows double roofs and tinted glazing. the reduction of direct heat gain on the building will also reduce the work done by the Air Condition units thus reducing overall energy expenditure. Also, the orientation of the structure on the site allows breeze coming from the sea (during day) and mountain (during night) to flow the through the building thus cooling it. The louvered wall system also helps to encourage heat loss by allowing cool air to enter the buildings skin unit 2

The objective was to find a severe issue that earth is facing, and using empirical data, predict the result in a few years. The goal was then to develop a treatment to the problem by looking at the problem as an advantage instead of a disadvantage. For my problem, I chose global warming, along with the side effects that came with it, the following is the result of my research.

Global Warming: Is defined as an increase in the earth’s average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/global-warming Some impacts from increasing temperatures are already happening: • Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.

• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.

• Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.

• we may still see oceans creep four feet farther inland by 2100 and rise 20 feet by as soon as 2200 • Lost of species of flora and fauna

65

Even if world manages to limit global warming to 2°C — the target number for current climate negotiations — sea levels may still rise at least 6 meters (20 feet) above their current heights, radically reshaping the world’s coastline and affecting millions in the process.

Sea levels have already risen about 8 inches compared to pre-industrial times. That rise has helped boost the surge and flooding damage from storms like Sandy and Typhoon Haiyan, and dramatically increased the occurrence of everyday flooding during high tide in cities from Baltimore to Honolulu.

By 2050, 26 major U.S. cities will face an “emerging flooding crisis.” Globally, storm damage could cost cities from Hong Kong to Dhaka to New York trillions annually unless adaptation measures are taken. According to Climate Central estimates, 150 million or more people are currently living on land that will either be submerged or exposed to chronic flooding by 2100 Kahn, Brian (2015, July 9th) Sea Levels Could Rise At Least 20 Feet. Retrieved from http://www. climatecentral.org

66

Traditional defensive approaches--such as building seawalls and levees, or replenishing sand along eroded beaches-can help protect against flooding and damage but may not provide adequate or sustainable long-term protection.

Also, Areas within low lying coastal regions will seek to retreat and move further inland- displacing many homes and business.

In the contemporary ideology of the urban fabric, water is a disregarded and ill treated phenomenon. The architects job, more than anything else, to maintain the stratification between water and building, (Stitt, 2011).

The goal is to reintroduce water into society, To harness water for its technological and poetic opportunities. The will therefor seek to marry the idea of architecture, and the natural phenomenon of global warming.

The goal is to adapt an architecture response to the rising sea levels. I then turned to crystal growths in water as a solution to the problem. Spent weeks researching, and analysing the growth of crystals in a watery solution and the result will help me garner an architectural approach. I then carried out a series of experiments to row crystals in water and observe their behaviour.

the result was a dynamic architectural form that would grow and composite like the crystals of my study. Due to the fact that the objective was not to stop flooding, but instead encourage it, areas were allowed to flood on the site. these areas will then become dynamic spaces for tourism, snorkelling archaeology , and marine life research.
