The The Rain. Rain. Forest Forest

HILTON CHAU PORTFOLIO 2015-2016

Project Description:

Thesis Statement:

Addressing to the global water crisis, the project “The Rain.Forest” is an amalgam of a prototype water filtration system, water research institution and a local community center.

Water plays an important role in maintaining lives and healthiness in the ecosystem, however, water supply is finite and human/ industrial activities increase demand on water supply. Water scarcity has been an inevitable global issue that requires human By mimicing forest as a natural rainwater attention and immediate action to mitigate catchment and filter.

As Anglesea locates in a area where will suffer from flood or drought occasionally, this project intends to combat these harsh conditions through architectural and technological approaches. To alleviate and minimize the detrimental impacts on the environment,

a prototype of filtration funnels will be used to harvest, filter and store rainwater locally for the community. In nature rainwater naturally collects, filters and stores in forest. Therefore, through mimicing forest, this thesis project will create a filtration complex which will be able to close the loop between water supply and water consumption as water will be filtered and reused. Besides, owing to the fact that a vast content of groundwater under Anglesea could potentially be an alternative source of water supply. Instead of being parochial and devour groundwater like how people did to fossil fuel, we could potentially implement a groundwater loop system to sustain the underground water storage. Since the water in the aquifer is very delicate; only purified water should be injected back to the aquifer for future use, as we do not want to contaminate one of the major sources of clean fresh water on earth.

That leads to a reduction of redundant space and increase the efficiency of the use of space.

However, INTERCHANGE does not only limit interaction between people in the same building. We welcome people from the same neighbour to come and form a bigger community. The podium based design provides space for collective of functions and activities to happen. The use of the transparent materials on podium showcases the activites inside the podium which creates a theatre to public.

INTERCHANGE is not only an apartment building but also a hub where life and ideas interact and exchange. Sits at the corners of the Melbourne CBD grid, INTERCHANGE enjoys a massive green space on the eastern side of the site accrosses Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Street and also captures the cityscape of Melbourne when looking south.

Fitzroy Community Hub

HILTON CHAU PORTFOLIO 2015-2016

Fitzroy Community Hub Locates between Brunswick Street and Smith Street, the new Fitzroy Community Hub is designed to create a social hub in line with the future proofing of the fitzroy community. With more young professionals and families move to Fitzroy, the community center would not only provide them with the basic community facilities but a new community experience. The hub consists of activies programs such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, indoor ballcourt and outdoor landscape area, together with passive programs such as library, meeting

rooms and function rooms. Besides, to address the problem of taking care of their children, this community hub also houses child care and kindergarden to take care of the children during the day. Melbourne is a bike friendly city, and Napier Street is also a main cycling pathway to connect the north and south fitzroy. Therefore, the community hub is designed into two building blocks. The west building is the aquatic center while the east building houes the rest of the programs with out-

door landscaping. The street between two blocks is a shared path between visitors and cyclists, and also creates the focal point of the community hub.

Applied Construction

This project is to design a commercial tower at the edge of Melbourne CBD in a group. In this project, we tried to achieve the highest possible area under the restriction of GFA calculation. To achieve that, structurally, we understood the allocation of structural elements and lift cores in the tower. Externally, we tried to instally photovoltaic cell on the curtain wall in order to generate electricity for the building.

Application of Active/ Passive system: In order to achieve a certain degree of sustainability, we are required to apply both active and passive systems on our building envelope. - Vertical Curtain wall: In terms of Active design, we tried to incorporate Photovoltaic cells in the glazing unit to generate renewable energy that contributes to the power requirements of the building. The Photovoltaic panels are placed according to a digital generated pattern on the N and W façade as this two facades could obtain the most sunlight which is the most efficient to gain solar energy. In terms of passive system, the cells create a solar shield to block excessive incomming sunlight and reduce heat gain. The patterned façade will also create a different visual experience for public.

Concept of façade design & Design Intent Our façade design consists of two parts which are the vertical curtain wall and the shingle glazing façade. There are four vertical curtain wall placed on the NE, NW, SW & SE facing facade while the a shingle glazing façade is placed on the West facing facade along the tapered corner. The design intent of having two different façades is because we want the tapered corner to stand out from our building as it is facing the main entry. People entering our building could have - Shingle glazing on the tapered corner: a visual guideline going up along the shingle The glazing units on the shingle facade are laminated with Photovoltaic cells to obtain glazing. maximum sunlight from 53/F and above. We initially wanted to install the Photovolatic Glazing system: cells on the spandrel area of each glazing - Vertical curtain wall We adopted unitized system with double unit, however, the outcome is not effective. glass on the curtain wall facade.
