Team Project Term 2 | MArch Sustainable Environmental Design| Architectural Association School of Architecture
The main objective focuses on achieving a zero carbon emission building, through passive strategies, supporting the design intentions with simulations. The approach is inhabitant centered, considering all aspects of the square's activities throughout the day, characterizing variations, and providing maximum adaptive opportunities.
Massing of the project takes into account solar access, natural ventilation and daylight availability in order to take advantage of the potential of the site. The new building causes minimum overshadowing to the surroundings and allows maximum solar gains onto its facade.
