Diagonal HEA 220 column hangs the floor at the bottom(an in-situ connection) and is anchored to the top floor using a J bolt.

An assembly of L profiles are welded to the HEA at Point A (see figure above). At point B(see fig. above) the L-profiles are welded to a base plate and attached to the floor and welded to the HEA side.

Research project description.



The study involves a novel experimental campaign to assess volunteers’ levels of perception and acceptance of various glass deformations.The glass was deformed using a bespok electro-pneumatic system at levels corresponding to below, above, and at the current serviceability limit. To insure safety of experiment , a break test was performed using similar IGU (1470x950) and the data collected was compared with FEA in Ansys to set a safety threshold for the experiment. The Electro-pneumatic system was able to to deflect the IGU in a cyclic motion mimicing movement during a wind load.





analysis of survey conducted during experiment and design implications.
During the experiment participants response was recorded using questionairs.The results demonstrate the feasibility of measuring human responses to deformations in the glazing and provide essential data for setting serviceability limits. The experiments and corresponding user satisfaction feedback indicate that the current serviceability limit of L/50, may be relaxed, thereby presenting opportunities for material efficiency, such as the adoption of thinner glass in facades. The methodology effectively captures human responses, revealing that changes in reflection were the primary reason for the perception of movement, leading to a higher perception of glazing movement and a lower acceptance at night. Overall, participants felt safe regardless of their prior knowledge on glass properties, and providing this information to participants did not improve acceptance, which was already sufficiently high.The findings from this research fill an important knowledge gap in understanding user acceptance of glass deformations, crucial for comprehensive user satisfaction assessments and evidence-based reductions in glazing thickness.

Project Involvement: Interior design develoment and construction supervisoion for a 2100 m2 office space.I have been involved in conceptualization stage,design development aswell as construction drawing preparation of the project.







Project: Intergovernmental Authority for Development HQ
Design Studio:Makers Lab(Design Studio).
Project Location:Djibouti.
Project Involvement:
The schematic design was done by MEZZ DESIGN BUREAU(Italy).I was involved in the preliminary and final design development which included floor plan modification, interior design,modeling,rendering and a preliminary proposal to a sustainable approach to the facade already done in preliminary stage.
A development of the interior of the IGAD HQ to reflect the cultural elements of the East African region and a modest approach to making a comfortable space with a functional layout and orientation.Involved in designing ,rendering and drawing preparation.
As the daily heat and humidity of Djibouti makes it difficult for opening a window for ventilation,MEZZ DESIGN BUREAU have proposed an exterior shade and an active artificial ventilation. This approach plummeted the energy consumption as the full glazing of the building increases the temperature load on the AC system.
During the preliminary phase ,we have proposed for a double facade system which optimizes the underground aquifer to cool air and circulate around the building. An approach to decrease the energy consumption of the building and a provide a sustainable ventilation system.
