This is the main flow of pedestrian. Consider reorienting the entrance in this direction to attract people into the building, and extend the green space in front into the Building.

Market

Centering around the Market, we provide connections to various spaces.

The sun will shine directly, a canopy should be provided

The space can be utilized, we can integrate their features into our architecture. The existing greenery space

Natural airflow

Considering the direction of the wind, the existing USW HALL has poor ventilation. We can improve it by utilizing natural airflow.

Re-organise the space

The original school dormitory can be transformed into a DIY Workshop/Studio.

Noise control

To prevent noise from disturbing the student dormitory, we can add a barrier

Access

This location can connect to the existing school dormitory/ historic building, consider making a connecting structure/ entry

Floodsystem

Create an eco-garden zone, including a pond, to guide excess rainwater away. Utilizing a rainwater system

CEMETERY - MEMORY PLACE

In the future

the technology will change our life styles. It is environmentally friendly cemetery building.

The design should consider future elements, but also need to consider the responsibility of environmentally friendly for the earth.

Summer :

There are no tall buildings near the site to block shade therefore need to provide the cover which will be trying to reduce the sun's entry to avoid overheating, leads to turning on a larger air conditioner to cool down.

In winter wind flow: Strong Westerly is blowing, might add some equipment for windshields that will keep the indoor warming.

Winter Sun Peth

Winter: Use the heat of the sun to save energy consumption. Because the site is too close to the sea; the westerly is blowing form the sea, Keeping sunshine in to the building if it to reduce humidity

The west side of SITE is mainly some factories, and the east side is residential

In summer wind flow : there will be a cooling breeze is blowing from the North- easterly it would be quite suitable to gather /pull in to indoor.

Greenery area : evapotranspiration cool Streets: Pattern & Order. Main street will mark the noise to the building

Organic farming: Business, increase the flow of people it will increase farmer’s income.

the site area is on low- lying land prone to flooding.

SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN – Double facade

Summer

Close the inside top one, becoming a convection, It can cool down the temperature of the building in side. Close all windows

Winter

All close, made there are air gap, It can keep warm.

Exbihition Hall

The design aims to create a space for architectural students in the campus. As UNSW architectural students do not have enough space for their studying. It is necessary that design a space with good facilities and study environment for students to engage campus’s life and study.

- A space can exhibit their work to show up for those who is interesting in architecture design

- A series of architectural spaces that meet architectural students need

- Provide more student housing space for those who need to overnight at campus and for those who is not from Sydney.
