_ PASSIVE HOUSE IN W A S H I N G T O N D. C .

U.C.L. EDE Building Solar Design Supervisor: Hector Altamirano-Medina Design Team : Andreas Alygizos/Georgios Koronaios/Xiang Wang / Yu chen Location : Washington D.C. / U.S.A./ March 2015

ABSTR ACT: Objective of the current project is to design a fully selfsufficient solar powered house in Washington DC, USA. The house is for a young family and the definition of every space in terms of orientation, size and connection between them is based on their needs and their daily program. The design of the dwelling takes under consideration environmental parameters of the area to minimize energy demand and provide comfortable internal conditions. The overall projects is totally compatible with the initial targets and the area’s restrictions. We are called to design for a 4-member family (a young couple with two little children, a girl and a boy) who have decided to move from the center of the city to their new house at the South-East suburbs of Washington in order to raise the children in a more pleasant environment.

The desired conditions in the spaces were carefully defined according to Ashrae 55 guide. Both PMV and Adaptive models were used where applicable.

Since the beginning the architectural idea was simultaneously combined with certain environmental elements that came from the shoebox testing and the environmental attributes of Washington D.C. The extreme temperatures that recorded throughout the year need handling for achieving the desirable internal temperatures which offer thermal comfort to the occupants. Thus special manipulation of sunlight consisted our major concern for the design since the building needed maximum solar gains throughout the winter and controlling them during the summer. Additionally Trombe walls were in the right sides of the building was also a background idea that could be implemented in the house.

ENVIRONMENTAL STR ATEGIES

• Shading device allows low angle sun penetrating into the room to maximize solar gain.

• Heavy thermal mass construction absorbs and stores heat from the sun.

• Windows are opened in occupied rooms to supply enough fresh air but it is kept at minimum level to reduce heat losses.

WINTER NIGHT

• Heat stored in thermal mass is released to heat the rooms.

• Windows are fully closed to reduce fabric heat losses.

Parents Bedroom

SUMMER DAY • Direct solar incidence is blocked by horizontal overhangs and louvers on the south facade to reduce solar gain.

• Solar gain will be absorbed by heavy thermal mass installed in living room and working space to prevent overheating.

• Cross ventilation is utilized for working space and kitchen to take away the heat. Stack effect is applied to enhance ventilation for living room which has more occupants.

• Windows in living room and working space are opened for night purge ventilation which takes away heat stored in the thermal mass.

• Bedroom windows are closed for safety reasons as well as noise-proofing purposes

THEATRE IN LONDON

U.C.L. EDE Natural and Mechanical Ventilation Project Supervisor: Dejan Mumovic Design Team : Andreas Alygizos / Georgios Koronaios/ Feng Yifu / Kontopoulou Vasiliki Location : London/Uk Dec 2014

ABSTR ACT:

[8]

Aim of this particular project is to introduce the fundamental principles of passive thermal and ventilation design during the design process of a new building. The principles implemented should adapt and reinforce the architectural synthesis into a united complex.

By definition this process is a back and forth process of both assessing the environmental strategy within the architectural concept and optimizing them in order to achieve the maximum applicability. For doing so both critical thought and use of the right analysis software were necessary.The building of the study is a new theatre building of capacity up to 100 persons located in Central London. The building also includes supportive uses, as a reception space and a ticket box office, and a cafĂŠ which operates independently in the terrace. The area also implies several restrictions which also should be considered during the design.

Since the building is a theatre, it is open to everyone and this public character should be revealed throughout its design. Except from the auditorium space where scheduled performances are being held, the building also includes a cafe and a reception space which complements its public character.

The main entrance of the building leads to the reception space from where there is the access to the rest of the building. In the same space a box office is located, where people can buy tickets for the theatre’s performance. The theatre is hosting performances for both educational and entertainment reasons.

For this reason, one performance is taking place during the morning hours, mainly about children and school excursions.

The Cafe and the reception operate independently from the theatre, and they remain open throughout the most day.

VENTIL ATION STR ATEGY The ventilation strategy was adapted to the different use, occupancy and general requirements of each space. The elevation of the auditorium ,has as a result to avoid shadows from surrounding buildings, get the maximum sunlight and simultaneously ventilate it providing air from beneath. Air is introduced from the bottom side of the slab, and as it gets warmer it rises towards the chimney, where it exits the space through grille openings, only during the time of the performances.

SUMMER DAY VENTILATION STRATEGY

SUMMER NIGHT VENTILATION STRATEGY

Bigger openings to deal with high outside temperatures

Ventilation of the spaces at full capacity

For both the reception and the cafe, the inlet and the outlet is the same, as the spaces are connected. The aim is to take advantage of the stack effect and force the air to ventilate the spaces, by its vertical movement. The building is not ventilated over night during the winter periods as the outside temperatures are low, and ventilating it during night time would drop the temperatures to very uncomfortable levels for the days following. For the summer days, the building is ventilated during the performances in order to maintain the CO2 levels down. Compared to the winter period, at this point we have the chance to introduce more air in the building as there is no risk of overcooling it. During the night time, the ventilation system operates at full capacity, throughout the entire time, in order to cool down the surfaces and preventing overheating during the performances in the day.

As we can see on the diagram, during summer the cafe appears to get plenty of solar gains. Therefore, night ventilation is also necessary in order to keep the temperatures as low as possible during the day.

Ι NTERVENTION

AT THE EAST SIDE OF THE WALLS OF CHANIA, CRETE

N.T.U.A./ Diploma Project March/2013 Supervisor: Bouki Babaloy - Noukaki Design Team : Andreas Alygizos/Georgios Koronaios Location : Chania-Crete/Greece

ABSTR ACT: The subject of the diploma project, is located in Chania, a provincial city on the island of Crete, at the south of Greece and puprose of the project is to reestablish the spatial relation between the current city with its Venetian walls that were build in the 14th century.The Venetian walls and the moat surrounds them constitutes a very strong edge over the city’s urban grid. The place of interest is the east side of the walls where the problems are more intense. The total site has split into three parts, the main side of the walls and the two corner sites of the bastions. Through the design approach is suggested a solution that makes the people reconsider their past through the memory carried through the walls, and establish a new way of confronting that historical site, while connects again the separate parts, creating so a unified complex.

THE ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL: The concept idea of the building is coming from the Venetian Walls right next to it. Following the walls’ linearity four solid surfaces are created and expanded until the desirable area is covered and organize five units within the building.

These units are differentiated from each other by slidin along the walls in different positions, and according to the programme, they develop in one or two levels. Subsequently, parts of the units’ volumes are subtracted, creating this way patios and atriums that introduce more natural light and allow easily aeration of the interior spaces. Finally, the roofs of the units within the walls are folded and planted in order to resemble the hill.

N.T.U.A./Architectural Design 7-8 June/2010 Supervisor: Marda Neli, Moraitis Konstantinos Design Team : Andreas Alygizos/ Efthymiou Spyros/ Georgios Koronaios Location : Area of Kerameikos / Athens

THEME: The current project is located on one of the main Athens’ streets, Piraeus Str, which connects the centre of the city with the port on the south. The area is close to the founding of Athens’ ancient cemetery , Keramikos.

Purpose of the building is to house a new type of market, referring to young designers and the total procedure of inventing new types of products.Thus the building functions as an open space market, an exhibition space and a production laboratory in the same time. The interior space is divided into two different sectors. First comes the display-exhibition ground floor where the designers can simultaneously create their products, show them to the public and sell them in the end. The other two floors are given to the designers only, and a space is created for young people to come and learn about the clothe-design process , the materials used, and the wider fashion industry.

ABSTR ACT The place of the building across the area of interest was defined by the site’s characteristics, such as the landscape slope, the main streets around the area and the main route for people to visit the site.

Therefore, the building is developing close to the outer boundaries of the area, referring to the way a surface comes out of the ground, and by its folds and turnings makes a circle and goes back at the start again. By this, the the surface creates two volumes which embrace a central open space which is accessible from the southeast and northwest side of the site.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is the creation of a parametric architecture object capable as operating as a vertical construction which covers the blind sides of high buildings in Athens. The construction is the result of a single processes and area’s features, so it can be adapted to a lot different places, giving similar but not same outcomes. Thus it is indented to develop the cities sites which have been empty, and give them to inhabitants as free, public and green spaces.

The process is trying to solve one major concern, that of the “blind” walls of apartment buildings, which the sites above are exposed to and have unattractive view, and use them as background for the structure to take place.

A B S T R AC T The subject of the competition was the design of an information pavilion for the city of Chania , which will be used for giving advices to the tourists visiting the city during the summer months. The proposed pavilion, has the size of 4 sq ,and can be placed in several spots in the urban area.

The structural framework is made of metal, and is being constructed in the factory, and it is covered with surfaces made of PVC of glass. The pavilion is being transported to the site of interest and is being assembled on the spot. During the operating hours, the construction opens, and splits in two parts, an external one, where people can have free access to the digital material about the city and the weather, and an internal one, where tourists can be informed by the working staff directly. Moreover, there are places for printed materials, both inside and outside as well as two screen projectors on both sides of the pavilion, which function all day long, showing useful information about the city’s sites of interest.
