Introduction

Manifesto

The neccessity of sustainable environmental design â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sustainable design is crucial, but why should sustainable assessment be a necessity in architectural design?â&#x20AC;? People in history have been using buildings as a mean to shelter themselves not only from harm but also displeasure caused by weather. Because of this, vernacular architecture evolved in the way that they would withstand the climate and help differentiate indoor comfort from the outdoor discomfort. While the severity of climate circumstances and condition is getting larger due to the irrefutable global warming, the role of architecture in assisting people to cope with the weather is, in contrast, getting smaller. People nowadays instead turn

to the convenient of technologies which provide energy-consuming solutions for heating and cooling and available within reach of a dime. Although most of the architects were taught to work with the concern of climate condition, the fight to extend the simple yet proven knowledge using rules of thumb will no longer suffice as people do not see the need to acclimate. Without proper tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodologies, the guesswork provides no assuring to convince clients. The sustainable environmental design analysis will provide solutions for this issue by using concrete data to ensure them that the solutions are optimum.

01 Rethinking HDB Flat

Applicable Design of Public Housing in Singapore Bedok, Singapore | Singapore In the tropical environment, high level of heat and humidity are primary factors that make air conditioning become a popular yet high-energy-consuming solution for internal cooling for the majority of urban households. With the rising trends in global warming, continued increase in air conditioning usage has become serious environmental concerns over the past decades, calling for the need to rethink of a more sustainable solution to low-energy consuming and environmental-friendly living space.

Pr e f a c e

The dissertation proposed a sustainable, energy-efficient, free-running design solution for hi-rise residential buildings in Singapore. It is based on theoretical studies, simulations and supporting empirical experiments. The proposed approach uses the combination of design and materials to minimise impacts from humidity while leveraging the benefits from relatively mild temperature for cooling. The solution can be achieved through integrating sustainable design strategies to optimise thermal and daylighting performance, with effective moisture control strategies.

possible while hygroscopicity is although unnecessary but desirable. It means that if these building elements get in contact with the water in any form, the transfer of moisture content would be slow or halted, however, in the case that the parts have absorbed water, it is better if they could release the water quickly. Next, it is preferable for typical CONTROL internal walls to have high PASSIVE HUMIDITY hygroscopicity while moderate to low capillarity and permeability are acceptable as their chances of exposure to water are considerably low. the ability to absorb and let water through should be kept at the minimum.

Accordingly, the main selection of materials Fig. 24 regarding their individual breathability requirement are: Material Selection

Accordingly, the main selection of materials regarding their individual breathability requirement are:

Dense concrete is commonly selected for building structures, especially in high-rise buildings because of its strength and handy application. Dense concrete is considered not breathable; it would be used as a structural element and foundation where the impact from water and vapour should be minimal. ● Timber Timber usually absorbs and release moisture quickly, but it does not allow the transfer through. In this project, the main sources of timber are renewable rubber ash and bamboo which grow well in Thailand and Malaysia. ● Unfired Clay Brick Stufy The internal and external walls feature unfired clay brick as the main structure combined with lime rendering and appropriate cladding. Unfired clay brick is similar to traditional brick, but its production using radiation from the sun to dry instead of fire or manufactured heat causes them to have a lot less embodied carbon. They dry quickly and importantly let vapour transfer through. Nevertheless, the capillarity level of unfired clay brick alone is high and therefore a suitable render is needed. ● Hygro-skin This composited material allows the possibility to create the ideal property for external walls. Hygro-skin is a climate responsive material which was a part of FARC Centre Oelean done by a team from The ICD from University of Stuttgart in 2013. The way hygro-skin works is simply by using the property of a thin layer of wood which has a natural mechanism to quickly change its shaped in response to the humidity level. This property in a natural setting could be seen in pine cones which could change their outer skin shape according to the dampness in the air as shown in Figure 25. The application of hygro-skin on the external walls as seen in Figure 26 and 27 would create an automatic adaptability to slow down or stop moisture buffering when the humidity outside gets higher.

Occupant Activities at Shared Balcony

BRINGING PEOPLE CLOSER In a traditional Malaysian Kampong verandas are always the liveliest areas. The shaded spaces are visually connected to streets and used for the majority of daytime activities. The verandas filter the public and private space but at the same time encourage connection

within the neighbourhood. This socio-environmental phenomenon occurs similarly in semi-open spaces in high-density residential buildings. The forecourts which connect corridors and residential units create a strong sense of security and neighbourliness.

Seating Area @ The Entrance

STAY OUTDOOR | STAY COMFORTABLE With hot and humid weather plus slow average wind velocity (1.5 m/s), the ground floor area was designed to be mostly open to maximise wind movement and keep people cool and dry. The result of mPET analysis

at different spots on the ground floor revealed that most of the tested spots are comfortable most of the time which could be a result of shading from the building and vegetation.

SKY - FARM: CITY FARMING AT REACH Sky-Farm will be one solution for food security by adding food to the system that imports more than 90% of the food. Additionally, it could provide more suitable jobs for the elderly residents who are being designated to stay in careers longer before

reaching retirement. Some of the farm areas achieve five hours of 10,000 lux which is needed for the plants to grow well and most of the area reach 5000 lux which is required to maintain a healthy growing rate.

02 Urban-Patch

Sustainable Living @ Diespeker Place Islington, London | UK Contrary to tackling a big site and building a mega housing project that may not fit into the surrounding finer scale building typologies, we are challenging ourselves with something small, something leftover and perhaps oddly shaped. These are plots that developers may not find interesting or worth investing due to the small scale or site constraints. We believe that these locations have great potential to stitch together the urban context and densifying neighbourhoods in the least intrusive manner. The building is lightweight as lightweight buildings perform better

in variable climate and have lower embodied carbon. The proposed building design is 30% below the Good Practice total energy consumption benchmark. The estimated annual Co2 emission from heating is 96% below than the Good Practice standard. Flexible spaces have been provided for occupants to perform different activities throughout the day, both for work, rest, and entertain. The rooftop offers a communal vegetable garden space with covered areas under the trellis and PV panels giving protections from the rain and hot summer sun.

NO COMPROMISING BETWEEN THE VIEW & THE PERFORMANCE The living areas locate on the northern edge of the site so these spaces with the longest daytime occupied-hours would get access to the views. However, the full floorto-ceiling windows were eliminate to avoid heat loss in winter. The bedrooms are on the southern façade with 30% window to floor ratios and adjustable solar shadings. Natural

light and ventilation are provided by the access core with the opening at the south façade. An overhang prevents rain from entering and provides summer solar shading for decreasing an overheated access core. A wheelchair accessible features have been built into the scheme to grant equality for all.

03 Wo h e r D e r : B i c y c l e H o s t e l Udonthani | Thailand

The project started with an intense discussion between owners and the designers on developing this deserted four storey office building in the heart of Udon Thani. The conclusion to converted this building into hostel came after considering the growth of tourism business, size and interior space, and limitation and potential of the building location. Hostels are getting more popular in Thailand not only because they are affordable but also the friendliness of staff and guests

which bring the opportunity to get to exchange idea and thoughts with new and interesting people. Hostels have become unique temporary community space. Bicycles are popular among all ages in Thailand. Udonthani urban concept aims to convert the city to be bicycle friendly as to be more sustainable and for the people's health. Udonthani is also a prime destination of both Trek and Touring cyclist. The project is bound to finish in the 4th quarter of 2017.

DESIGN CONCEPT : I-SARN STYLE The design concept aims to recreate a local North-Eastern (I-Sarn) lifestyle which is beautifully unique. The mentioned lifestyle would be medium through local materiality, the order of functions, and furniture. The design will portrait the relation of tight-knitted farmer community byrecreate the spaces where the

local usually gather. The use of the vivid plastic item and bold colour Pa-Koa-Ma boost the atmosphere of the chaotically simple way of life. Funny Proverbs appear on walls also illustrate the view of the life of I-Sarn people who always work-hard in high spirit even though encountering rough patches.

04 Laboratory Ramathibodee Hospital Phyathai, Bangkok | Thailand

Laboratory design is a very sensitive kind because it requires the understanding of function and equipment, as well as basic maintenance methods to be able to achieve well-fitted layout, materiality and styles of furniture. The major problem occurred on this project was the lack of this set knowledge by the designers causing the design to fail upon installation. Additionally, the construction work in the hospital is likewise sensitive. The work needed to be scheduled according to the hospital working hours, particularly, to control of the construction noise to the level that it would not disturb the patients, especially the nearby Psychology Department.

Because of these issues, Abbott Laboratories, the main donator of this renovation, hired the consultant to coordinate with the contractor and designer to complete the project correctly and within the deadline. The consultant responsibilities covered; • • • • • •

site and construction work inspection Arranging weekly and monthly meetings with the contractor, the users, and the designers Re-organising work schedule Discussing with the designers regarding design revision Resolving construction and equipment installation issues Prepare documentation

The scope of work covered renovating the already in good condition house by featuring exterior, interior and landscape design while providing fitted spaces for Mr Kundert's

beloved collection of Scandinavian style furniture which each piece of furniture has a unique character. To save cost, the structure which was ideally in good condition were all maintained. The designer pulled out the old identity of the existing house and mixed them together with the contrast modern style by displaying the first-floor timber structure and add details of steel frames to reinforce the structure. While keeping the whole skeleton of the house, the atmosphere and appearance have been altered to the clients' taste.

MIX & MATCH The proposed design concept is to provide a showroom for the piecesof-art items of furniture while still keeping the cosy feeling. Despite loving Asian antiques and decorative detail, Mr Kundert also loves the

pattern of minimalism and functional design. These contradictory ideas of the house had become a great challenge to work with from the start to the end.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN In the process of landscape design, the old mature tree was examined. The concept is to control the colour mood which matches with the simplicity of the exterior design by choosing plants that bare white, green, and red allow the garden to

look refreshing and yet look minimal and stylish. The texture and layout are based on natural by implementing raw stone, unpolished pebble, and shaped rotten timber to create natural ambience.

06 London Farmhouse Edible Micro City London | UK “When I have bacon, I don’t go home and fry them in my own pan. That way I might get fed, but I’ll take it to the village kitchen and see how many people could be fed” - Brandy Gallagher (O.U.R Eco Village founder) Are we the only intelligent creature? Ants could develop an efficient working system in the colony. The system is simple; ants do not act individually; they behave according to the needs of the colony. Every single ant works strictly on designated responsibilities, and when unexpected events happen, they all together adapt to the situation. Like ants, men used to have "Spirit of Village" which is the way of commune living where the

members of society think about the well-being not only of themselves but the whole community. In Utopia, every year, a group of people would be sent to a countryside to learn how to maintain agriculture land. Each group would spend 2 years working and teaching the new crews. Utopia is a perfect example of how urban agriculture could work; The project aims to deliver an architecture that can fulfil agriculture purpose allowing people to switch from insecure life style to a new way of subsistence living. This EdibleArchitecture uses maximum space efficiency to produce food at its full capacity. Each part of the building is to be used for farming.

REVERSED ENERGY PYRAMID Ecological system is simple yet effective nevertheless. The widely recognised system is the energy pyramid which shows a proportion and relation of and between members in any ecological cycle.

London Farmhouse Concept 53

However, using this arrangement directly might not be the answer. Consider energy use in transport food and items up and down the height of the building to flip the system upside down could allow time and energy saving in transportation.

NATURE & PHYSICS The imitation of tree branches used in this project is a mass form developed from the idea of leaning tower using the ancient knowledge of Japanese pagoda and the physic of the centre

of gravity. The advantages of the tree branchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property do not only allow sunlight to get into each floor but also create a structure which transfer loads down to the ground systematically.
