CONTINUUM
Sectional perspective highlighting the main journey through ‘Continuum’. The entire concept focusing on different programmes and different needs situated in one building in an urban context, in contemporary Manchester. Whilst celebrating the activity that occurs in different industries and inviting the public to view the behind the scenes as a journey. The building is made to be sustainable and adaptable to accomodate future needs.

FACADE STUDIES A series of test models testing various brick facade patterns where the following images show the view from the exterior. The first main objective was to see the amount of light getting inside the factory. Whilst the second was to see both the views the workers and public would get when looking inside and outside. Facade’s were created with a grasshopper script to generate multiple patterns, which the script then automated which parts I should cut and engrave for the brick facades.
Factory Section
ENVIRONMENT Facade features polyethlyne suspended bricks to allow for a permeable aesthetic whilst allowing for the environmental efficiency of a double skin facade. Operable window positions allow for natural ventilation across the building, whilst the facade orientation allows for the stack effect to take place increasing windflow through the factory in order to reduce cooling loads.

TECHNICAL DETAILING
1
Double skin facade was used in the factory for the passive ventillation benefits. This was important in my facade in order to get both the environmnetal benefits and the aesthetic of a perforated brick system. Suspended bricks were used in order to achieve this effect.

PROJECT FLYTHROUGH A personal goal of mine is to try and incorporate more of my video editing and previous software skills with my architectural projects for a new way of showcasing finished projects.

Perforated Double skin facade on Eastern side, since prevailing wind is in West direction. West side gets enough air, and since neighbouring building on eastern side is low, morning sun can heat it up creating a thermal buffer. This alllows for the air to heat up and rise and creates pressure points for the air to go across the room and out the solar chimney.
Changes for the detail include getting rid of the raised floor for increased thermal mass. As well as the introduction of underfloor cooling via water pipes. All windows are user operable to allow for passive ventillation.
Short section
North East Elevation
Bracket system was improvised and checked via kingspan live support system.
North West Elevation
Western side includes operable windows with solar shading. Horizontal slats along with horizontal louvers to protect against sun in evening whilst providing views to the park. This also ensures they can always leave the window open to allow for passive ventillation due to Bangalore’s high heat.
Perforated double skin hasn’t been tested with sefaira analysis due to limit however shadows show they get enough diffused light (unaware of cool loads however).
