About Me

I was interested in Architecture from a young age growing up in a family of builders and engineers. I am forever told to make things practical and build able which is what I would like to pursue in my future of designing. I also have an interest in communication design, designing logos and product packaging for companies. I have worked with Wellwood Walnuts, Pentland Calisthenics College and The Tasty Lyks to create their branding.

My skills consist of practicality of design, technical drawing and detailed aspects of projects. I have an interest in Sustainability and the way we need to design for our future.

I have experience in Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, Adobe and CAD programs. This experience has been conducted through my High School and University studies being pushed further with every project and idea.

In completing this course I would hope to learn how to better collaborate with others on projects whilst expanding my knowledge of programs used in the industry such as revit, providing me with the best advantage I can for next year.

Project 1:

BIM Knowledge: Collaboration & Worksharing - Gropius House, United States (Walter Gropius)

These images show the similaries between the actual house verses the revit model. The images shown are the lower floor plan, interior lounge room and the Northern elevation.

For Project 1, myself and Kawthar modelled Walter Gropius’ iconic Gropius House.

The first image shows the grand interior of the living room and how light filters through the space through the large open windows. The second image depicts the house within the site from the North. The lush environment borders the house, engulfing the users into a relaxing and peaceful environment.

The floorplan shows the lower level of the house and how spaces interact with each other. The angular walls enable a sense of movement and direction of circulation bringing people further in to this house.

Reflection Project 1 was devoted to collaboration within a small team on a shared drive. This project taught me that there are tools available to collaborate and build projects within a team without having to work to set origin points to copy and paste data and modeling between uploads.

The benefit of using BIM allowed a small group to collaborate on a single project whilst focusing on individual design outcomes to complete the full project. Before this unit myself and my teams usually worked on a rhino file and copy and pasted elements once a part had been completed. Now changing to BIM software I can see a positive effect that BIM has on the workflow and ability to work on a singular project. To monitor the element of work for each person a Excel document was created with people selecting what parts they were going to work on, enabling a fair share of the workload whilst seeing what had been completed and what was still to be done throughout the design stages.

As a team we decided to use image files to create our floor plans to the correct scale. There was not much in the way of elevations, sections or 3D models to reference for this project therefore any other data was taken from images of the house.

I feel that this exercise has taught me a lot about the tools and capabilities of designing in Revit, as previously I have not had much experience in this program. The weekly lectures and tutorial classes enabled me to learn many aspects of this tool I did not know were possible whilst also allowing for individual research on how to complete specific elements such as creating a flat roof with voids.

This project prepared me to go into a workplace and be able to collaborate with others on the same project efficiently. The BVN alphabet and construction alphabet sheet numbers and order provided me with an insight on how workplaces are able to communicate between people inside and outside of their office without having to add many comments or large headings whilst keeping the work set organized and manageable. This took some time to get used to as I still do not know what numbers associate with the discipline or document names however the organization aspect has cleared up the way I work for a more efficient use of time. What used to take an hour I can now find and complete within half the time.

Overall as a team Kawthar Kordia and I were able to delegate tasks enabling both of us to explore the capabilities of Revit and a work sharing environment effectively.

Project 2:

2A BIM Fundamentals WEEK2- G1 & Sergio Soleto- Bates Smart The first set of lectures looked at the difficulties and advantages of moving from hand drawing systems to CAD software and more recently to BIM (Building Information Management). BIM has the capacity to work in multidisciplinary teams collaborating to create a 3 dimensional outcome for the client to better perceive their visions. BIM has enabled a singular platform for data and information in relation to projects to be shared unlike previously where email and text were used, resulting in losses of data or overwritten components.

BIM is more than just a CAD tool, enabling authoring, design, auditing and analytical data tools throughout a singular project. With the introduction of BIM, workplaces are able to find and use product and fit out downloads that will be used in the actual project, resulting in a more accurate representation to the client. BIM has 5 main principals: Shape, Scheduling, Estimating, Sustainability, and Management, whilst enabling both 2D and 3D creations.

Throughout history a change in the way we work has shifted. The first shift was hand drawn projects being transferred to CAD software. People were hesitant to shift due to the unknown, especially the older designers who had used hand drawing techniques forever, however the young embrace the change in technology. The same has been seen recently with the introduction of BIM. Older people generally wish to stick with CAD software whereas the younger generations are happy to embrace the changing times. Now BIM is a must have in every workplace to enable collaboration and multidisciplinary work.

WEEK 3- G2 & Ali Tehami- Woods Bagot These lectures were very insightful about LOD (Level of Development) modulEs and collaboration in the workplace. BIM as a collaboration tool works with 3 different contracts and 5 LOD’s, to better communicate between stakeholders throughout a project. This was particularly interesting as I have never known that there were different types of models for different purposes of design. These LOD’s come in handy when conceptualizing a project to a client or those whom are not in the architectural field, as well as displaying distinctive details of the structure or a unique facade element.

LOD’s - 100: Conceptual Geometry - 200: Approximate Geometry - 300: Precise Geometry - 400: Fabrication & Assembly - 500: As Built Model BIM also allows analysis of projects enabling problems to be predicted sooner meaning fewer reworks of projects are required unlike traditional CAD software.

BIM also allows unique sculptural elements to be created using tools such as Grasshopper, Python, Dynamo and C*. These tools can be integrated into projects to improve efficiency whilst designing elements that CAD software is not capable of creating.

WEEK 4- G3 & G4 This weeks lecture focused on the importance of digital fabrication, specifically robotic fabrication methods. As human instinct is repetitive and forms natural similarities to those previously designed, we can enhance the overall development by using pre scripted formulations and robotic fabrication methods to effectively analyze and construct projects. With the introduction to these digital processes designers can query a model to exact quantities, optimizing and complexifing their designs.

However some countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany feel that BIM alters nature in design, therefore opting to traditional hand drawing or CAD techniques. This is not so much the case seen else ware around the world with examples such as Antoni Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia or even Zaha Hadid’s Morpheus Hotel, using complex geometry whilst creating unique designs.

Using digital software enables analysis in real time to measure performance, variations and energy of a building. From this data sensitive analysis can be completed, defining building and location specific constraints or problems that need to be addressed.

The digital world has provoked a culture shift in designers, with their descriptive language adapts through time to suit with growing conditions and technologies.

Overall we need to embrace technology and use it to our advantage to develop an understanding with materials and techniques, enabling unique designs whilst also optimizing time, and strengths of people and materials.

WEEK 5- Hoss Zamani- i2C This week we had Hoss Zamani from i2C come to talk about computational design. i2C are a firm which have joined together with Ryder Allience to spread the workload to 500 architectural professionals, over 5 continents with 17 studios. He stated that computational designers are needed with the growing use of technology, however no one could give a defined answer to what a computational designers role was. In Zamanis words a computational designer, designs workflows, completes complex modeling, and focus on data driven design paradigms.

A quote from Kevin Hart states “If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it” explaining why there is a need for BIM technologies and data driven designs to further pursue sustainability through technology.

From this lecture there were 8 points to remember when designing: 1. Learn how to code and think pro grammatically 2. Your designs should not be dictated by the software 3. Always look for opportunities for optimization 4. Learn how to communicate your ideas 5. Your much more likely to be employed by a small firm than a large one. (20-30 people) 6. Start with ideas that save money and time 7. Back ideas with data (money and time) 8. Respect seniors and learn from them Overall I will take this knowledge on board to help me forwards with designing and goals for the workforce.

WEEK 6- Fergus Honen- Woods Bagot The lecture by Fergus Honen introduced BIM as a project tool in the workplace. The scope of the projects Woods Bagot design explore how much BIM technologies are needed or preferred in a project. BIM can be used in construction, design and operations either a lot or a little depending on the clients needs. Their designs all use one main ISO standard of 19650, to deliver the project. Honen’s references came from4 main sources: the ISO standards, UK BIM framework, BIM forum LOD specifications, and Natspec BIM guide. These reference will become very helpful with future studies and work throughout this semester to prepare myself for the workforce.

WEEK 7- S1, G5 & Lorna Melville- Woods Bagot Lorna Melville’s lecture was extremely insightful to what happens in the workplace in relation to interior design.

It was great to see that it is not all positive and that there are struggles and challenges with working in a team collaborative environment. Her outlook on using Enscape to check for errors was a great way of looking into the model before everything is built. “Work smarter, not harder!” From last weeks lecture about BIM tools not always being preferred it was interesting that from the same company but from the interiors sector that clients see the value in using BIM enabling them to see as close to the finished outcome as possible, getting an overall feel and atmosphere of the space.

The main challenges of using BIM in a project were explained as: expectations, cost, technology, government support, legal framework, insurance, training, software interop, requirements,approach, and level of adoption.

It is interesting to see that in a technological advancing work we are still finding challenges in adopting these new strategies and preferences. In light of that we have some opportunities of: consistency, tech development and use, processes, and government interest which if utilized effectively will make BIM a much needed tool in the design field.

Thought as: Concept + Design + Documentation = Built

Overall the lecture given by Fergus Honen was incredibly insightful of how and where BIM can be used in architecture firms large and small, creating a high level process whilst creating a better way to work.

WEEK 11- Stephen Taskin- Woods Bagot Stephen Taskings lecture explored the use of BIM in projects, as well as its associated use from Plan- DesignBuild- Manage. Exploring software for front end (Rhino, Grasshopper, Recap pro), to the main programs for BIM (Revit, Enscape) to the 4D (Navisworks), 5D(BIM Track), 6D (dRofus), and CDE programs (BIM360, Aconex, Projectwise, Asite, Teambinder).

Overall Stephens lecture further pushed the requirement for a BIM execution plan as to be completed as task 2B, and highlighted the use of BIM in design through a vast use of precedent projects including the Melbourne Quarter, UNSW Biological Science Building and the Sydney Central Station Upgrade.

Actually: Design

Concept = Built

Documentation The lecture from group 5 studio 1, provided knowledge into BIM in the current practice, and how it can be used not just for design but for analysis, communication, materiality and atmospheres. It tied into Lorna’s lecture well, collating programs and data to evaluate and design to create a measurable and stimulative user experiences, but also showing the challenges that BIM practices bring into the workplaces.

Overall I did feel like these lectures were rushed and a lot of content was jammed into a short time frame, therefore I did not get a huge amount of time to look at and listen to the presenters whilst furiously writing to get the information written down for future reference.

Reflection

I have learnt a lot about BIM through the class lectures and the guest speakers throughout the semester. The biggest thing I learnt is that BIM is not just revit. BIM is the workflow of the modeling and used many programs to be completed. I also learnt that BIM can be used a lot or a little, I thought that when using BIM it was either there or not.

It was great to see that many lectures repeated key concepts and methods of using BIM, to “embrace technology” to “provoke a cultural shift in designers.”

The activities and tasks were incredibly helpful to learn how to use BIM software and techniques whilst practicing, rather than listening and taking notes from a lecture. I hope to continue to use these practices taught and learnt in all my projects to create a better workflow for myself and for others to view my work.

BIM has changed the way I work, in particular by using browser organization and numbering. Prior to this class I used the current system that revit laid out files which was messy and confusing especially with multiple levels and spaces. I can see how business with BIM can work effectively within a large group, collating work together in one file rather than emailing or sharing a drive link to individual files. I am still amazed to hear from guest speakers that some businesses and clients do not use BIM to create a greater project workflow and models in the 3-dimensional space.

BIM has drastically changed the roles of architects to enable greater data and site analysis to assess the environment, possible outcomes and variations in which a project can be completed. This speedy method can also assist the client with a more suitable design, or a unique design in a timely manner unlike traditional CAD methods where plans had to be redone to create changes.

(Banks 2012)

In hindsight I wish this class was presented sooner to enable myself and groups to use these practices within other group work projects. Enabling people to work remotely is not only a positive outcome during the current situation of Covid19, but also enables people to work across states and even international without having to travel.

Overall the weekly lectures from classmates and guests helped me grasp a better understanding of BIM in the workplace, and how the concept of BIM has developed overtime to allow more unique ways of designing and explaining ideas and final project outcomes.

Project 2B: BIM Execution Plan

12

Reflection The BIM Execution Plan created by NATSPEC was great to manage our project and look into details that would be conducted in the real world for the planning and construction of a project using BIM. Overall I feel like our groups BIM execution plan would be successful in real world applications using estimated time frames that would be suited to a retrofit project. Our goals (chapter 1.4 BIM Execution Plan) represented the aims of this studio project for task 3, through covid safe layouts and smart skin design, whilst being cost effective and allowing natural ventilation and air movements throughout the building.

Using a collection of programs such as Revit, Rhino, CAD, Navisworks and Adobe, the project would use BIM throughout most practices and phases of design (chapter 1.7 BIM Execution Plan).

Some limits to using BIM are the need for high quality and memory computers and Internet access to allow changes to be made and for sharing of models. Although this may be a limit for some, others will take it as an opportunity as computers are able to do much more in a shorter time frame than a singular person with CAD programs, let alone the opportunities that arise from programs such as grasshopper and dynamo with added plugins, creating elements that can not be created in a 2D space. Technology enables sharing of BIM projects through the cloud enabling anyone with Internet connections to be able to access the models. This is very handy to show clients or when on site where a tablet or phone can be used rather than carting around a desktop or laptop computer.

For myself I had some problems with Internet throughout the semester but with a high quality performance laptop I had no issues with the use of BIM for collaboration and work sharing. I will take this knowledge and use it in the future of my design and architecture career and studies, for a better method of works haring and collaborating as a group using BIM. The execution plan will come in handy for project briefs, timelines and goals enabling set tasks to be performed as required, through different programs.

Our BIM workflow covered the phases, tools and development of the project from beginning to end. There were many feedback loops between design iterations and analysis for both the retrofit and the facade. This enabled us to strengthen the design making a safer workplace environment. The ability to organize sheets, views and templates early on made it easier to manage time when working on and producing the parallel tasks of retrofit and refurbishment. Communication through many platforms enabled sharing of files, data and conversations simple and quick, whilst keeping an accurate record of progress through the unit. Overall using BIM enabled the project to run more smoothly, and for a deeper analysis to be performed.

Project 3:

BIM & Design Decisions + Feedback Loop Project 3A: Summary COVID - 19 has presented many challenges to our living and working circumstances, both in which contrast previous realities. The result prompting people to work from home, but many schools and offices are looking to plan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Covid Safeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; workspaces for the near future. Interior Spaces are critical for designing, adapting and complying to social distancing rules that must be adhered to during these times.

As a team our goal is to promote safe practices including the mandatory 1.5m distance, across AMDC levels 5,6,7, and 8. As a team, applying BIM to assess the most feasible, creative and cost effective strategy for the new AMDC layout. A range of tools will be used, such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug and Revit to get this information, and spread optimal and safe practices, in which sustains education.

Level 7- AMDC

AMDC level 7 houses many open plan offices, as well as meeting rooms and common space. With 3 atrium extending to upper and lower levels there is some airflow throughout the common spaces however very minimal in the open plan offices. Even though these are open plan spaces the desks are fairly large and spread apart therefore already adhering the 1.5m rule. Step 1 would be to increase ventilation especially in offices where people spend days of their time between classes and on non teaching days. The next step would be to minimize the common areas and maximize the capacity for small meeting rooms to enable more Internet meetings within a small group of people As there are many small common spaces, such as service cupboards, toilets and ducts these areas can be left alone as changing the position on one level will result in changing for all levels or engineering difficulties. These spaces are rarely used by student and teachers so tracing of any sorts would link back to who was in the office on the day. To minimize this risk these services could be monitored after hours.

For common areas one way traffic paths could be implemented to retain the 1.5m rule. As there are 3 separate atrium, these paths could flow around these spaces with two way links between them. During my time on this level I have discovered most people walk clockwise in these spaces, nor is there a huge amount of foot traffic on these levels throughout the day. This may be higher at clock in and out times.

The spaces used the most by many are the common areas within the atrium spaces. To create better flowing paths and less people these spaces could be removed, however in doing this are we removing the most utilized spaces, and how could they be improved, or are meeting rooms a better option?

The last spaces of question are the kitchen and printing areas. Having communal facilities enables more equipment however is also the one place where cleaning methods are under utilized. Is is easier to remove walls enabling higher ventilation or create entry and exit points to these facilities or even just create sanitation stations and key card entry.

In the sections it can be easily identified what has been removed or added to create a covid safe environment.

Only levels 5 - 8 were retrofitted as they are the main teaching and working levels for both students and teachers. These are also the spaces where the most time is spent in one place. Throughout all our proposals we changed furniture and some walls permitting spaces to open up for more light infiltration and natural ventilation into the space.

Level 7- AMDC

Level 7 was adapted into a covid safe environment for staff as the main office and meeting room level.

Most furnishings were kept but some moved to keep costs down and enable for a smooth transition back to traditional offices after Covid. Singular offices were transformed into meeting rooms to keep with current trends of Online teaching and learning allowing small groups to gather to record or watch lectures.

18

Reflection

AMDC level 7 houses many open plan offices, as well as meeting rooms and common spaces. The proposed solution enables more circulation paths between atrium spaces by removing tables, and opens up more meeting rooms enabling ease of cleaning and tracing between users.

I have designed to abide by the 1.5 meter regulations set by the Department of Health & Human Services, which enables most of the office spaces to remain, therefore bringing the cost of new furniture down. Within all spaces I have tried to reuse as much furniture as possible, to enable a smart and smooth retrofit.

The proposed layout enables more meeting rooms on Level 7 whist keeping an abundance of offices and studio spaces. Meeting rooms will accommodate TV screens enabling meetings to occur via web programs such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, between Staff and Students as well as external providers. These meeting rooms replace many of the existing single person office spaces which will enable people to work privately or as a group. This idea is similar to hot desks where people move around on a day to day basis if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have set desks. This be more beneficial to those whom have taken up the option of working from home most days whilst only coming in to work when classes are on.

Existing

Proposed

Overall I learnt that a lot of work goes into a retrofit. I also was pleased to have a class that completed technical drawings to industry standard, allowing me to know what I could be doing in the future. I have learnt heaps about safe practices of work during Covid 19, and know the industry standards and methods that can enable safe practicing in an educational environment.

The technical drawing package has taught me a lot more that what I thought I new in regards to fine details required such as tags and door dimensions. I will hope to take these skills and practices into my future architecture career.

3B: Feedback Loop

Project 3B: Summary As a team we aim to propose a smart skin design, that directly addresses analysis for daylight, views, program arrangement and ventilation.

Our goal is to propose 2 new design options for the AMDC facade in line with the retrofit completed in task 3A. As a team, we will apply BIM to assess the most feasible, creative and cost effective strategy for the new AMDC facade. A range of tools will be used, such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug and Revit to gather this information.

Goals: - Natural Ventilation

- Clean Air

- Healthier

- Improve Working Environment - Reduces Energy Consumption

- Cost Efficient

The BIM feedback loop identifies the key points of this task. Our feedback loop states the links back to the overall brief of a covid safe working environment for students and staff. This enabled us to use our goals of ventilation, safety, circulation and smart design to shape the spaces both interior and exterior. On the left we have our main goals, inspiration and ideation to how we may organize and retrofit the AMDC.

Solar Analysis of the sun direction and its path enables adequate shading and light on all sites of the building. From this analysis we can identify that the Northern facade will need the most shade whilst the others need more natural light filtration.

Wind roses identify prevailing winds. It can be identified that this building has strong Northerly and Southerly winds throughout the year making it an excellent location for a energy source to the building.

The radiation analysis identifies the warmest and coolest spots throughout the building.

It can be seen that the North and West facade receive the most sun and require the most shading.

From this data we will produce a smart facade design which tackles the elements of sunlight, wind and solar heat gain and loss into the AMDC building.

21

Facade- Option 1

Understanding the impact of light, views, radiation and wind currents changed the way this facade was created.

Using 200mm conduit made from polypropylene in the colour black will reduce glare against computer screens in the interior spaces. In the cooler climate this will also act as a thermal conductor creating warmer currents.

The system works by filtering air through the pipes into the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;musclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; allowing it to expand and contract in accordance to different wind speeds. Using the fins from the existing facade allow minimal costs and renovation but also have been designed to combat the sun and wind to an extent, hence why the pipes follow the existing form and logic of placement.

The overall goal of this facade is to block direct sunlight whilst maintaining views and natural light, whilst permitting natural ventilation into the space.

22

Facade- Option 2

The second facade option focused on interacting with the wind as a physical characteristic, creating a design that would not be static but dynamic allowing for changes in external wind and ventilation throughout the building. The facade does not only harness qualities through wind and ventilation but also enables the natural environment such as views to shape the forms created by the moving pipes, creating a unique visual characteristic.

This option attempts to harness wind, as the AMDC building is in an environment where strong wind currents are experienced regularly as can be seen in the analysis on page 21.

Materials such as polycarbonate pipes, mesh panels and glass could create this facade. The pipes are lightweight and if kept static donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add unwanted loads to the building. The pipes will have maximum and minimum lengths to reduce unwanted shadows in the interior of AMDC and on surrounding buildings and paths.

23

Facade- Options

Option 1

Option 2

The final facade option for the AMDC refurbishment is option 1. Option 1 keeps the existing facade and works in with the patterns creating a wind barrier against the strong forces experienced in Hawthorn. The new facade will enable more ventilation throughout the building as the current curtain wall does not allow for natural ventilation or operable windows. As a group we felt that this idea worked better as the pipes were further apart allowing views and light to filter into the exterior spaces regardless of pipe length. This option would be fitted to both the North and South facade, in keeping with the most wanted views and access to wind currents. If this was to be placed on the East or West there would be unwanted and distracting noise from wind currents blowing past the pipes.

24

Facade- Final Design

Before

After

This diagram explores existing ventilation vs the proposed ventilation system with the new facade. Currently ventilation is through a HVAC system running below the floors of each level. This pushes already used and exposed air throughout the building which is one reason for the high rate of Covid cases around the world. The new system uses natural ventilation filtering fresh air through pipes into the interior spaces. Studies show that natural airflow can drastically reduce the rate of infection.

25

The final facade creates an interesting and unique characteristic to the AMDC building. The renders show how the space may feel with this new system in place.

After

Using black pipes the glare is reduced for the occupants inside but also adds extra creativity and uniqueness to the building from further away.

Overall the retrofit and refurbishment of AMDC will create a safer more covid safe work environment for students and staff of Swinburne Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hawthorn campus.

Reflection I felt task 3 helped me to use BIM for design and better decision making. This topic has extended my skills base immensely as previously I had little revit knowledge. I feel that as a group we applied the covid safe brief well, proposing a human centered design towards the retrofit and refurbishment of Swinburneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advanced Manufacture Design Centre (AMDC) through innovative methods and responses to environmental analysis.

BIM allowed us to collaborate in one place, whilst also allowing for quick analysis of designs to make moderations to suit the clients needs of a safe workplace environment. The methods of workflow such as sheets, templates and browser organization allowed a cleaner, more efficient way of working as a group of 4. I can see the benefits of this method compared to previous as it allows a team direct access to documents without the need for many emails, team chats or meetings. I aim to use these tools and methods throughout my studies and further into my architecture career.

By James Corner Field Operations

CLTH’s plan is to use tents to create well ventilated classrooms using the natural resources that are rarely used in traditional classrooms. The aspect of ventilation is poor in AMDC therefore the use of natural resources could enlighten the space creating a better learning environment. These designs minimize circulation of students whilst keeping a 2m safety barrier between student desks.

This can be used for most classrooms and offices in AMDC however there will be a reduction in class size to do this.

How do we cope with the rise in students with a limited space? Could circular rooms and spaces be the best option to satisfy the distancing measures and have a class of students in a classroom?

- Natural Resources of ventilation, light - Better Learning environments - 2m Buffer between desks - Circular room enables more desks - Set entry/exits - Encourage safe community integration

Actions required to practice ‘covid safe’ environments in particular classrooms.

The space incorporates glass divides to separate office areas and uses natural vegetation to increase air flow.

- Blending of internal and external spaces - Glass and vegetation for better movement and airflow.

- Natural colours

This landscape design visually represents social distance areas for individuals to ensure safety and to guide peoples circulation around other people.

Decrease Human interaction where possible including: - Smaller classrooms (quantity of people), - Desks 1.5M apart - Wider corridors - Desks facing the same way - Mapping of floor to act as reminders.

CantraRuddy School Proposal, Calicut, India

Post Coronavirus “The cubicle will become normal”

MAHAK Residential Towers, Tehran

Using geometric shapes to represent social distance parameters to determine a pattern using mathematical formulas for a room arrangement.

CetraRuddy is designing a new campus for student to move back to classroom learning post Covid. They aim for ‘inclusive education’, reflecting that ‘learning happens everywhere’.

Prioritizing the learning environments is their main goal using open aired designs combining indoor and outdoor space whilst directing students through a number of set out entry and exit points to minimize traffic.

- Inclusive Spaces - Natural Ventilation/ Operable Windows - Outdoor Spaces - Set Entry/Exits - Sustainability - “Learning happens everywhere” - Natural light - Wellness of students

Form4 Architecture prompting the introduction of cubicles (desks with separation walls) to reduce social interaction.

The concept is for a residential apartment block, that creates individual pathways and entrances to minimize contact between neighbors.

Offices will need to reduce densities, widen walkways and remove almost all shared spaces

The use of individual stairways creates a unique access point for all residents and by being external allows for greater airflow and minimize virus transmission through confined spaces.

Potentially introduce screens/ canopy elements to securely contain and reduce spread of germs.

The site has strong winds all year round, why not use this to create a kinetic facade and harness energy at the same time? Venga Wind have installed a wind farm on top of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, as a sustainable strategy for energy usage. This strategy could be implemented on the AMDC building as a form of renewable energy.

Vertical wind turbines come in a range of forms allowing variations for design as well as changing amounts of light, shadow and views.

Vertical axis turbines are more efficient, quiet and economical than horizontal axis turbines, making them a better choice for urban environments.

Breathable skin design for natural ventilation.

Exchanging fresh air from the outside with CO2 from the interior.

Organic exterior surface provides shade whilst still radiating soft light that is suitable for office spaces.

The ANIBAL Building in Rio De Janeiro, designed by Bernardes Arquitetura uses angled diamond frames to filter light and reduce the glare depending on the time of day.

The facade shape also filters noise pollution through both the extruded forms and natural green wall behind.

The diamond pattern incorporating areas exposed allows for greater ventilation, which in a hot climate is very important.

The HARPA concert hall, in Iceland, designed by Olafur Eliasson, uses coloured glass positioned at different angles to create a unique visual experience.

When viewed upon from certain angles the colours appear differently.

Unlike this building example, we hope to use glass coloured hues to reduce light harshness depending on the time of day and weather conditions.
