CTBUH - Masters Competiton

500 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 Council for Tall Building and Urban Habitat

Softwares : AutoCAD, SketchUP, Photoshop Master of Architecture Year 1 : CTBUH Masters Competition using MULTI Elevator system

The competition brief aims to maximise the usability and design innovation of the new Multi elevator system. It investigates the issues concerning a conventional skyscraper typology. It aims to create a system, that is different from the tried and tested extrusion and stacking.

A new building typology that adds value, while leveraging the multi directional elevator system.

The new elevator system interconnects every element of the urban precinct and significantly reduces the waiting time for the user. With the help of the new elevators, navigating within the precinct is radically simplified.

In addition to that, the adjacency and functional requirements were satisfied through extensive thermal gain, solar and wind analysis.

The layout is design in a manner, such that all the terraces receives unobstructed exposure solar radiation, to maximise the performance of the PV panels and makethe proposition truly sustainable and net zero energy.

1. Ideal System

The first image illustrates components of the design brief as A retail, a University building, a public library, Students Housing, Office Spaces etc, which are represented in different colours

2. Conventional Tower

Option 2 is an exercise of simple stacking and extrusion. The major concerns about this option were –high maintenance and installation cost of the elevators, the stacking blocks would encourage segregation. lastly, there would be adjacency clashes between various building occupancy.

3. New Building Nomenclature

Option 3 is a demonstration of the new building typology, which keeps the notion of an ideal setup, but with 50% less footprint and integrated with the elevator system.

4. Final Outcome

Option 4 is simplification and refinement of the new building system with stepped terracing that accommodates solar panels, to make the proposal a net zero building design. It is a new urban precinct for the city of Melbourne

Circulation, Structure & Functional Diagram CTBUH Competition

The office block employs exposed steel structure with braced framing. The structure is celebrating rectilinearity and supports external lateral stability to the overall built form.

The Multi - directional elevator connects various functions together. The office layouts have 360 degree views. They are placed towards the south, which receives diffused daylight, to minimise heat gain.

In contrast to the office blocks, the University square along with the public library area, Housing and Retail have re-inforced contrete treatment. Since they are situated towards the northern phase, the open terraces and the residential units will enjoy the direct sunglight which is esstential for creating cohersive collaborative spaces.

The multi directional elevator forms a closed loop on the entire site as well as connects with external buildings through underground channels.

The sense of interconnectivity and integration of services such as mass rapid transport systems, vertical transporters like escalators and inclined travellators uses Multi-NODE. The NODES are points of contacts, to establish transferring of one system to the other, without manual interchanges.
