Daylight Strategies

ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS INTEGRATION 3.2

Hvac System

Plumbing Chaise in central core for efficient circulation of water for plumbing and mechanical systems throughout the building

Overhanging balconies providing shading from harsh direct sunlight from the South and West primarily

Levels 7-15: Hydronic system distributing hot/ cold water from central plant and throughout floors with radiant system of pipes Levels 1-6: Air-based system distributed through ducts in the ceilings

Slight rotation of floor plates moving up building mimics movement of the sun, allowing for maximum daylighting Extra Daylighting strategies not needed on lower floors due to shading from neighboring buildings.

The Broad Museum

Architects: Diller Scofidio + Renfro Project Size: 120,000 SF Location: Los Angeles, CA

Material Exploration: Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

The GFRC in the Broad museum is serving as the exterior portion of a double skin facade with the inner portion being mostly curtain wall glazing. The material is parametrically customized to respond to daylighting conditions necessary for an art museum and allows for the spatial characteristics required for circulation and spatial arrangements. The color of the material is its natural white color that results from the material itself. The texture is mostly smooth from careful prefabrication of the units that are combined together to form this GFRC envelope. As seen in the diagrammatic section below, GFRC is able to be highly customized and designed to fit its desired function

Contra Costa Administration Building

Architects: Fentress

GFRC Facade SF: 35,000

Location: Martinez, CA

Material Exploration: Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

This government building used primarily GFRC for the facade with it serving several functions and aesthetics. Do to its mold-able and customizable characteristics, and its ease of construction, GFRC was used to replicate a historic stone texture in the clock tower, taking on the color of stone as well. Furthermore, in a more modern aesthetic, using CAD, the architects designed a “wave”texture for a portion of the facade which was constructed using specially designed fiber glass molds and then put together in a panelized system that was hung from the primary structure

Serif and The Line Hotel

Architects: Handel Architects

Project Size: 81,500

Location: San Francisco, CA

Material Exploration: GFRC

This mixed-use hotel and residential building has an irregular, geometrically complex shape, which led to the selection of GFRC due to its customizable shape, color and texture. Its smooth texture and geometric shapes were pre-cast into 583 total panels which wrap around the flat and curved portions of the building creating a dynamic facade that aids in shading and unifying the building aesthetic. Unlike other projects where the GFRC is dominant in the facade, here it serves as a more interesting and architectural opaque frame to glazing in this high WWR facade. Like most other panelized facade products, the front extrudes out in various geometric patterns, but the back is flat and hung on the behind

Dimensions limited by transportation sizes and molds

Dimensions displayed respond to simple transportation sizes and ease of constructibility GFRC Panels often are made smaller, but displayed dimensions represent typical maximum sizes from common constraints
