Why student housing?

Problem statement

The lack of student funding and proper co-habitation environments can result in less focus on studies. Example: Saving on study materials and working instead of studying, not able to relax at home, etc.

Main goals oo Design a co-habitation environment that helps students focus more on their studies without having to sacrifice their social life/sports/hobbies, etc. oo Design a healthy co-habitation environment that does not produce stress or personal conflict oo Design an living environment that helps students to cut down on their expenses (expenditure).


Tu Delft Campus


Target Group - Students Common characteristics

Partyer- extrovert - unhealthy

oo Huge variety in students and their habits ЄЄ Chaotic study hours ЄЄ Sports ЄЄ Hobbies ЄЄ Eating meals on different time periods ЄЄ Social or non-social ЄЄ Healthy/unhealthy

Nerd-introvert-unhealthy

oo Relatively short stay (3-10 years) oo Relatively long amounts of time away from home (traveling, minor, weekends with the parents, association activities, etc). oo Adapt to circumstances oo Low income either loan, parental funding or job oo Huge fluctuations in expenditure (partying, holidays, new hobbies, books, etc).


Common co-habitation characteristic Positives oo Relatively low rent, sharing expensive functions ЄЄ Higher function/m2 ratio if ЄЄ Affordable shared luxury functions oo Lower expenses on food consumption - Buying in bulk oo Sharing labor (cleaning, urban farming, cooking, etc) oo More shared experiences - strengthen relationships oo More shared knowledge oo Ability to share secondary necessities (bicycles, car, books, tools, etc)

Negatives oo Cooperation / making comprises is required for a healthy living environment. oo Hard to focus/sleep due to noise problems oo The lack privacy can results in personal conflict


Core design aspects Separating study from relaxing

Community between housing

oo Reduces personal conflict

oo Share knowledge or experiences oo Divide labor; growing, cooking, building etc.

Relax

or

oo Be part of something bigger than yourself!

Study

Give more control on privacy

More control on expenditure

oo Multiple common areas oo Ability to expand or shrink private rooms

oo Give space to grow their own food/spices oo Make rent a variable oo Negate materialistic point of view

oo Control on visual privacy from outside


Sharing space Between Private rooms - negotiation process

Between Private and shared space - Real time

Reconfiguring spaces results in oo oo oo oo

Dilemma lower rent vs. more stuff More control on privacy. Less clutter = Less distractions = More time to spend on things that matter. The design ‘trains’ students to become cleaner and less materialistic

?


Reconfigurable environments

oo Private walls require a modular build to make it personal. oo Should still act as an acoustic barrier (diagram).

e rag

oo Can be integrated with different functionalities such as: kitchen, table, benches, bed, desk, storage, etc.

Storage

oo Should be easy to use both manually and robotically!

Sto

oo Allows for compact living - with high amount of privacy.

Reconfigurable space layout Radial

- Unpractical spaces no corners + Better views - Max 2 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding - Walls need to stretch

Hexagonal

- Non practical spaces - 120 degree corners + Max 6 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding

Linear

+ Practical spaces 90 degree corners - Max sharing of 2 neighbors + Ideal for sliding - Perpendicular walls need to stretch / slide out

Orthogonal

+ Practical spaces - 90 degree corners + Max 4 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding and rotating

Program activity


Master layout Tower (Standing or laying down)

+ Easy to achieve more privacy, no pedestrians. + Sharing warmth is more efficient + Higher ratio student/m2 - Vertical farming competes with daylight for housing

Landscape

- Privacy issues with Ground floor + More space/daylight for food production + Collective space on ground floor + Collective activity visible from housing

Location analysis - Points of interest


Location Analysis Surrounded by nature

oo (Natural) barrier reinforces privacy from outside

Juli

Sun Analysis

oo Almost no obstruction of direct daylight

December

oo Higher buildings have more access to sun light for passive heating

Housing Community

>120 degrees

Privacy oo Distance between housing on the same level > 10 meters oo Angle between housing 120 > degrees < 240 oo (Semi)-Private space not on ground floor

Housing program oo Private/common rooms oo Private terrace oo Private food/spices garden

Community program oo Study Rooms (no direct sunlight) oo Extra kitchens/dining for community dinners oo Bicycle storage oo Food storage (no direct sunlight) oo Meeting space - outside/inside oo Entertainment facilities oo Food production


Urban Strategy Connectivity

oo Connect to existing infrastructure oo Prevent community from becoming shortcut

Optimal cluster position

oo Sun radiated roof terraces oo Optimal food production oo Passive cooling by building orientation oo Privacy for the private rooms oo Let the collective space be changed by the community oo (Add scenic route on rooftops)

Private community

oo Reinforce private community with a moat oo Courtyards not visible from outside


Sustainability Strategy Decentralized Grid

Natural Waste disposal

Modular building oo Highly standardized elements result in prefab building process

oo Reinforces private community

Reduce Unused empty space Energy losses / compact building Natural Grey water cleansing (helofyte)

Reuse Waste flows heat, energy, food (Decentralized Grid) Collect rainwater / convert to drinking water

Produce Produce food for the community Clean sustainable energy with the help of sun collectors
