Comment 1

Iteration’s curvy roof has much potential, like top machine and rooftop green. Read SANAA ‘s works.

Comment 2 Grids need reference and find reason, like Melbourne city grids. Read Peter Eisemen‘s works.

Comment 3 ‘Floating city’ could be an interesting concept. One edge of building could touch the ground and connet to the level2. The ground floor could be empty with trees and steps.

Comment 4 Heating the swimming pool by pipes need more research. Talk to engineers.

Reflection In this week, I completed practice of eight iterations and I tried to design in more than 3 ways of each iterations to find interesting starting point. In the final project, we should consider architectural level and the ESD level, and it is really hard to combine them and narrate in one story. So meanwhile the iteration work, I read much cooling and energy knowledge related to the datacenter. In the next weeks, I will pick up two form which are most potential and try to introduce some ESD ways into my existing forms to make them more practical.Also, I need to keep design more interesting form based on precedent research, like SANAA, Malevich, Peter Eisemen, OMA,Bernard Tschumi, Campo Baeza.

Adiabatic cooling and energy saving in a data centre

Toby’s email

Evaporative cooling and heat-rejection systems, whether cooling towers or indirect evaporative cooling systems, are signifcant water consumers, and therefore a reliable local water supply system is required to ensure system reliability. Research has shown almost half – 48 per cent – of data centre outages are caused by human error, not equipment failure.Locally we are having more discussions around getting the best performance from people through more human-centred design to reduce human error.The majority of Australian data centre hubs need to accommodate extreme highs up to 46°C, but extreme lows are not typical, making use of free cooling technologies more prevalent in those environments. Te large hyperscale data centres of over 100MW are driven by the need to service a large population from a hub city, like Singapore or Tokyo. We are starting to see this type of data centre size requirement in the Australian market.The scale of Australian data centres will generally be smaller, but the confguration in terms of system types, redundancy, Tier rating and the like is not dramatically diferent. McCarthy: An important design consideration is part-load performance – even a well-designed low-PUE facility may perform poorly before fully utilised.Staging and phasing of cooling plant in conjunction with maximising free cooling opportunities is critical. A recent facility in Melbourne was achieving 15 per cent cooling energy of total demand; however, the average in Australia is likely closer to 40 per cent when climate is considered. Machine learning and server eco functions can help to reduce and optimise a cooling system’s performance, reducing carbon footprint and facility overheads. Treweek: Te cooling energy profle is highly dependent on the facility and system type. An older facility utilising chillers/CRACs, with other combined uses such as a NOC (network operations centre) might have an HVAC energy profle of, say, 40 per cent. A new black-site facility utilising liquid cooling or in a cold climate where outdoor air can be used for free cooling through energy storage systems will be signifcantly less. An annualised PUE of 1.1 to 1.2 is achievable in certain circumstances.

How meet brief - data sapce allowance

• Start thinking environment impact on the art and architecture morphology of design. - Mechinical connecting-chillers and generators require enormous connection to environment - airflow dynamics - how get ventilation through equipments (generator/switch/chiller platform) -show the volumn space for data center -About form: how these volumes live with one to another and how they sort of coexist -How data halls interative plant space and how plant space react with outside environment (it need to connect to airflow) • Drawing diagram for airflow and show what you are achieving • Truck access and turning circle ：19 meter truck and 5 meter height • Consider the street scape and residential • Think how go for visiting one level to another (the circulation of building) • Think how building service by deliveries. • I think you focus on quite a bit on the public side, the whole aspect of deliveries and how get site are pretty important as well. How trucks moving around the site is importants. COOLING TOWER

So, as I want everyone to explore different things, I think, the very basis I think everyone should have those rooms that he’s asked for, and they should kind of be the lightest sizes, and, you know, they should kind of work. Okay, so I would really like everyone to concentrate on that. If anyone’s worried about it. Send me a message. And, you know, we can have really quick to like Wednesday night or afternoon or something. Okay, if we need to. All right, just to clear up listings. Okay. And if any, are you experimenting with some really strange shapes and you want to show us all. But you got an older plan that might have everything working still so the older plan you know like just go through what your assumptions are about how things are working. Okay. But I think you’ve probably should have updated plans but I’m just saying, I’m just gonna keep on working.

Reflection There are two main important issues I need explore and review before Mid-term. One is the reorganize the project brief and them make the building functional, especially the design of truck circulation and the plant space of generators/chillers. Another is starting drawing the section of scheme and clear the airflow inside and outside. Doing a diagram to test whether the different engineering spaces can work enough. Also, need more professional knowledge about how the air cooled chillers work.

Comment What I mentioned about abstraction is the relation of abstraction to architectural and urban spatial configurations and typologies.I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to copy abstract painters. However, SANAA are influenced by the art of Jean ARP and others. The abstract artists are just a reference to help you learn, not copy.

ZERO C DATA CENTRE LOOP Notes to students from from Jeff Van Zetten, NEXTDC To see the early stages of creativity from the architecture students in iHub has been great with some very interesting concepts. I do have some concerns however that the fundamental brief requirements are not being achieved based on feedback from the last 2 sessions. Fundamentally as a Data Centre, the most important requirements are the MW IT of capacity and the rack count. That must be achieved or the design fundamentally will not be achieving the brief and our requirements. The massing and spatial requirements for data halls, electrical generators, electrical rooms and cooling plant are usually the starting point for an integrated data centre design. I have a very strong recommendations to the students: To utilize what I provided and showed them in â&#x20AC;&#x153;NEXTDC B2 M2 TIV Setting a new industry standard Draft 5 JVZâ&#x20AC;? - see Slides 14 & Slides 15 as bare minimum requirements for spatial allocations to achieve the brief. I re-iterate per the briefing I provided that the colour coded electrical rooms and generators as shown on slide 14 provide approximately 1 MW IT load each.

As the brief requires 60MW IT, by now we would expect to see designs that are allowing for approximately qty 60 x generators and electrical rooms of that size in the design.Regarding the data halls, the dimensions of the racks were provided as 600mm wide and 1200mm deep with 1200mm cold and hot aisles in between. Slide 15 gave a good example and the brief provides the quantities required in the design.By now in the design process we would expect to start to see designs that can achieve the most fundamental brief requirements of 60MW IT, the correct total rack counts per the brief and within the planning limits of the site. 40

Week7 Mid Sem

Mid Sem Feedback • The commentary around the data halls and the circulation space are fed by quite a lot of infrastructure by barbed wire cables, and also by way of ductwork and pipe work. There is a very complex environment surrounding those data halls and how we get all those pieces of infrastructure in and out, is something else that’s going to impact some of those facials. • think through the airflow strategy for those rooftop chillers. • I quite like logic on how you separated out the buildings and you really isolatted some of the infrastructure and the plot. I am glad you put in a nice steady track in your animation. They really stood out against what was a very clean building in the background so hold on that as well. • Think more about data halls sales and library function. You need to follow a series of datahalls services to make the building work better. • Everybody start to look at the backup generators, the electric room and then mechnical cooling, fuel storage and water storage. • We did have a good area on the residential boundaries for some community space and setback. All of them seem to be condensing, the data center plant and data holes into smaller space than I believe. • The existing data centers were often converting office space and car parks into datahalls, because it is all in the reality of life, it is revenue generating, and often we will revisit sites and we alsways seem to run out of data halls sapce, and are always converting more and more space to data halls. • (katrina) have a design can integrate with the local community. • (mollie) Flexible: in other words, we need to consider practicality. Consider all flows: People, equipment, air, electricity, heat, water, waste, etc.. Circular pipes are cheaper than rectangle. Air duct joints make them 90 degree angle for easy fabrication. General Comments: As discussed on the night, it would be good for each student to provide a 1-page analysis of how they are meeting the brief in terms of data hall space allowances. Generators and Chiller plant are generally being shown on the plans, but there is still a fundamental lack of understanding on how these need to be accommodated. We are happy to receive questions from students if they need some advice – maybe a online register of some sort that they can place questions and we can review and respond to? Some thought around electrical switchrooms to accommodate and distribute the mains or generator power is also needed. Data halls – need to allow at least 3m wide corridors at either end of the rows for indoor cooling units. Site access roadways – loading docks are one consideration, but fuel tankers and fire truck access is also needed. These would typically need a through road. Layouts need to consider large plant replacement. Placing large equipment inboard of the building perimeter requires clear replacement pathways without having to remove any other equipment.

The Lydford Estate in W9 offers 5,000sqm of potential productive area over 13 blocks. A&f developed an exploratory rooftop retrofit concept including social initiatives designed to encourage community cohesion using food literacy as a vehicle.

The model explored included the following components : Food waste collection and processing via unitised anaerobic digestion, supplying biogas, heat and electricity to the estate and liquid nutrient solutions to the horticultural operation.Solid digestate from the AD will be commodified and sold or used in basement mushroom production facilities in unused garages. Rainwater harvesting and UV treatment for use in horticultural operation or as supplemental greywater. Resurrection of community grocer within the existing community hall, complemented by a community kitchen used as a preserves factory, cooking school and event space.

Lydford Estate Rooftop Greenhouse

Greenhouse study

Sustainability, Adaptation, Resilience, Building Integrated Agriculture and a Black Eye We are currently working with CityWest Homes, exploring the viability of retrofitting a horticultural operation onto the roofscape of the Lydford Estate in W9, serving local residents and businesses. We expect gaining community buy-in will be our toughest challenge so offering something of real value to residents will be paramount. Alongside a dependable supply of stable-priced, high-quality, fresh produce, we are exploring using the existing community hall as a community grocer, complemented by a community kitchen, hosting food literacy cooking training courses targeting local residents; all designed to keep demand for fresh produce local. Horticultural training courses for local residents and schools complement the labour model and may eventually allow us to move the initial team of expert horticultural technicians onto other sites, gradually replacing them with local technicians, ideally from the estate itself, further weaving the growing into community life. The models we are exploring also make use of local food waste which we process via Anaerobic Digestion into liquid and solid digestates, to be used in both horticultural and mushroom production while capturing supplementary gas supplies for local use.

The concept and is steadily commercialising in the US and Canada with notable growers like Lufa Farms, Brightfarms and Gotham Greens leading, retrofitting horticultural greenhouses on industrial buildings and supermarket stores. They supply supermarkets, grocery stores and restaurants, selling the message of hope in a product that, in not travelling, retains its flavour, is nutritionally richer and price stable into the long term.

Oscar explains the win-win nature of his designs, ‘Building integrated agriculture offers the opportunity to close thermal, nutrient and water cycles by introducing dense planting that converts the waste products of these systems into food. There will always be inputs but a functional model will be closer to the ideal closed loop system than the current linear model,’ where there is still much waste. As a result, this system requires a fraction of the energy and water of conventional open-air farming and Oscar’s designs make the most of every available photon, raindrop, scrap of organic waste and boiler exhaust. Throw hydroponics into the mix and they have the potential to produce 5 to 10 times more food over soil-based production. ‘The roof of the host building will likely have to be reinforced to take the new loading, but it will offer an immediate benefit in transferring its maintenance liability to the horticultural operation profiting from its use.’ Oscar elaborates, ‘The transfer structure will help control the greenhouse temperature by managing the thermal losses from below. It will also divert carbon exhausts into the greenhouse environment, boosting productivity when the sun is shining.’ But can this realistically provide a significant volume of food for such a populated metropolis? Oscar says, ‘London has 20,000 hectares of roofscape. Most of it is pitched and residential. If we were to convert half of that to commercial grade horticultural greenhouses with a very conservative productivity of 40kg/sqm/annum we could supply all of London’s 8.2m people with 1.3kg of fruit and vegetables per person per day. The average UK consumption of fruit and vegetables is 346g.’
