PROJECT APPROACH
10
PROJECT APPROACH Downtown Opportunity The downtown location allows the students to capitalize on interactions with the established community of central Phoenix. There are a multitude of businesses, high population density blocks, major traffic routes, public transit services that only make the site more accessible. The proposal will integrate these concepts into the design allowing the benefits of the location to occur effortlessly.
GIS AND SITE ANALYSIS < 1/2 mile VEHICLE TRAFFIC
Increase in future vehicle traffic will grant move visibility to the school and student projects. TIMELESS and APPEALING design of the building will be an imperative for highlighting future outlook of the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
11
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Ease of access to the site from any location within Phoenix Metropolitan Area by public transit. The building design will be conducive to pedestrian traffic allowing students to better INTEGRATE into the existing knowledge fabric of downtown.
< 1 mile VEHICLE TRAFFIC
High population density means residents can be activated by students to test ideas and grow The project design will be inviting to the pedestrian because at DES-X we understand the importance of interaction and diversity for INCUBATION.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Existing employers can be beneficial for students through networking. The project design will incorporate professional spaces for students to meet with potential clients and colleagues. The project design will incorporate TEAM ROOMS to foster GROWTH.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN
13
SCHEMATIC 1 PRELIMINARY DESIGN
KEY DESIGN CONCEPTS Site Utilization Being located in a PRIME LOCATION in Downtown Phoenix, the new facility for the Thunderbird School of Global Management should encompass the entire site. The building should also integrate into the existing context and be a positive influence on pedestrian patterns by ENGAGING WITH THE SURROUNDING SIDEWALKS.
Engage Circulation Patterns
Similar to how the building will integrate with the pedestrians, the spaces within the building will also foster incubation by promoting ACCIDENTAL MEETINGS and IDEA SHARING. Aim to create gathering spaces close to circulation routes
Highlight the gathering spaces with the building form
Allow students to take command of the space Incubation
Gathering Space
Circulation
Porous team rooms located along circulation
Shift the team rooms to create visible gathering spaces
Gathering spaces by team rooms create accidental meetings
14
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Private Space
During the development phase of the concept for the Thunderbird School of Global Management the INTERACTION between public and private spaces was seen as a major component of the project. Public Space
The various programs are differentiated in the facade and design of the building allowing for easy legibility for new users. The masses are pushed and pulled to create overlaps between spaces and foster VISIBILITY into adjacent spaces.
SUMMER WINTER
Using the building mass to create COMFORTABLE SPACES was paramount in the building design. Outdoor gathering spaces will be comfortably shaded while the atrium provides sunlight into the core.
CONSTRUCTION COST SAVINGS Prefabricated Construction Team DES-X will re-imagine how the school can be constructed and maintain construction management lead throughout construction. We will partner with a prefabrication expert to reduce construction costs by implementing a prefabrication process into the mix.
Benefits
Prefabrication REDUCES RISKS associated with traditional construction techniques. The Thunderbird School of Global Management will be constructed with safety in mind throughout the whole process. The CONSTRUCTION PERIOD WILL BE REDUCED and the building will be ready for use ahead of the schedule proposed in the RFQ. The quality of the constructed facility will be higher due to the inherent nature of the process. Since all the elements are built in a less interruptive setting, errors will be reduced and the product more consistent.
15
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS LEED AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN With the LEED Silver goal in mind the project team used energy analysis software to determine best placement of program of various sizes.
Daylighting Analysis
Annual Energy Use
U-Classroom U-Classroom
Team Rooms
Team Rooms
Based on lighting and energy observations, the study yielded the following results: â&#x20AC;˘ U-Classrooms and other seminar related programs should be on the north side to reduce sun exposure
Parametric Design
The team designed shading louvers that most efficiently block unwanted sun exposure
â&#x20AC;˘ Team rooms are small spaces and can be used as a buffer between the sun and the main space when not in use
Additional Energy Savings
The team rooms are staggered to capitalize on self shading for the school
16
PROPOSED CONCEPT
Team DES-X is proud to present this concept for the new facility for the Thunderbird School of Global Management that provides a space for growth and innovation through a complete and integrated design. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open and integrated private spaces allow for learning and networking. The proposed building will provide spaces that emphasize INCUBATION by creating visual relationships between them and to the outside world.
Public space is integral to creating a community for students to engage with. These spaces promote sharing of ideas by allowing students to test their projects.
