Climate change poses a great danger to the planet and as architects we are responsible to find ways to reduce pollution and waste that buildings produce during its construction and after completion.
the concept of this project is to generate a highperformance curtain wall system that helps reduce energy consumption and construction waste to achieve the goal of having a Net-Zero carbon production.
Unitize curtain wall system are factory assembled, thus achieving a higher quality control of water and air leakage, at a lower cost than on-site assemblage.
Generally, a unitize curtain wall system does not include any insulation during its assembly and a building usually requires a high demand of energy to maintain a comfortable temperature. This type of unitize curtain wall system is a suitable candidate to develop further due to its cheap constructability and the amount of sunlight that goes though the building.
New technologies, such as the closed-cavity façade by Permasteelisa / Gartner, can reduce cooling and energy construction, by reducing facade U-value or using automated shades solar heat gain can be reduce on the interior side of the vision glass.
This facade is manufactured off-site allowing for a quicker and easier assemble and reducing the cost of construction. That said, any aesthetic variation can be added along with any functional elements such as Buildingintegrated photovoltaics (BIPV) without additional cost.

Reaching Net-Zero energy consumption in a building requires all energy used to be from either on or off-site renewable source.
The most sustainable approach for energy consumption on-site is Photovoltaic production of electricity using the building enclosure.
In this project parametric modeling there were four model iterations using grasshopper and solar simulator (DIVA) with Rhino were used to measure total solar exposure in Kilowatt-hours on an annual basis to see which iteration had the most potential to maximize renewable energy generation.
The larger the solar exposure, the greater is the potential for BIPV panels on the facade and roof to meet the energy demand.

120 Concord Street Brooklyn, New York is designated a general central commercial district (C6-2) provides for a wide range of retail, office, amusement service, industrial/manufacturing and related uses.
• Lot 1 is considered a mix use space.
• C6-2 cannot exceed the maximum floor area ratio of 6.0 for a zoning lot with only commercial use.
• This lot area is also in group a-3 in occupancy according to section 303.1 of the NYC Building Code. Group-a allows gatherings and group activities.
• Building height cannot exceed 120ft and the base high minimum is 60 ft and maximum of 85ft.
• There must be a 10 ft setback on an 85ft building and when facing a wide street and a 15ft setback when facing a narrow street.
This part of Brooklyn has been developed in the past few years creating a new mix residential and commercial skyscrapers as well as some small industrial buildings. The neighborhood has several parks near the site as well as three subway lines and several bus lines.
Vehicular traffic is usually heavy around the area since the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge are located near by as are several educational and governmental institutions in the area.
The site is predominantly flat with some slopes towards the west and falls under the floating zone.
During winter the wind blows towards the northwest and the sun path is shorter with 9 hours of sunlight. Throughout the summer the wind blows towards the southwest and the sun path is higher with 15 hours of sunlight.

PROGRAM AND CONCEPT
The SexEd Museum is a place that gives an opportunity to all age appropriate groups to understand what sexuality is about and how has been presented throughout history.
This hierarchical facade has the form of elongated rose petals walls with gaps in between as windows giving a sense of harmony, gentleness and privacy, fitting with the museum program and it provides a unique shape making it distinguishable from other buildings in the neighborhood.
Tinted windows are placed on the lateral sides of the building restricting views from pedestrians, in addition to maximizing the heat from the sun as the majority of the windows placed in the building are facing south.
The SexEd Museum has a perfect location since it is close to several universities and offices as well as the A,C, and F subway lines and several bus lines making it accessible for people to visit and attract more visitors to the area.

The building program was intented to follow a pathway from the ground up by using elevators and stairs.
Elevators and stairs are also used for access to the basement, where the auditorium, security office and workshop spaces are located, and the restaurant on the top two floors.
Temporary exhibitions and the gift shop are located on the first floor, so as to not disturb the exhibitions on the upper floors.
On the second floor, the museum offices and exhibition room No. 1 are adjacent and connected only by the elevator area. The exhibition area on the second floor has a double height ceiling meant for tall exhibitions.
The machinery room is located on the third floor with access only available to museum personnel.

SITE ANALYSIS TOPOGRAPHYTRANSPORTATION
FIGURE GROUND:
The area is predominantly developed with mixed commercial and residential buildings with some vacant lots and parks towards the north and west of the site. The major and highest buildings are towards the edge along the East River while inland to the southwest of the site buildings are mostly smaller in height.
ZONING:
The area is dense with mixed commercial and residential buildings all throughout the city with some institutions towards the south and very few to the north as well as parks nearby the ferry terminal
SUN AND WIND:
During winter winds blows towards the northeast and the sun path is shorter with 9 hours of sunlight. Throughout the summer the wind blows towards the north and the sun path is higher with 15 hours of sunlight.
TRAFFIC:
The site is along Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive which goes adjacent to the east side of Manhattan. The traffic on FDR Drive is usually slow during rush hours as well as along the streets and that are avenues nearby. At other times the highway and streets near are less crowded.
TRANSPORTATION:
Around the Ferry Terminal there are several buss stops that lead to the subway and other places as well, also there is the FDR Drive and many streets and avenues surrounding the site as well as the ferry terminal itself connecting the midtown area with other parts of Manhattan as well as Queens, Brooklyn and The Bronx.
TOPOGRAPHY:
The site is predominantly flat with some slopes inland, that makes the site to fall under the floating zone which becomes susceptible for the East River to take over the site.
EXISTING LANDMARKS:
The ferry terminal in close proximity to several landmarks with important historical and architectural value. These landmarks are located within a mile radius, making the ferry terminal a key place of transportation.

PROGRAM AND CONCEPT
PROPOSED CIRCULATION
Designed to improve the existing 34th Street Ferry Terminal to better implement circulation, program, shelter, and accessibility. Therefore, giving the new ferry terminal an ovoid facade was the most reasonable choice since the ferry terminal is located between the East River and skyscrapers on the eastern side of Manhattan. This ovoid shape softens the hierarchy of elements by not obstructing the views from the buildings on both sides of the river.
The proposed ferry terminal will have arch like openings in the facade giving the opportunity to different access points to the building.
Because of that, it generates an increase of circulation as well as big windows on the second level taking advantage of the sunlight as well as air circulation. This design takes advantage of wind circulation cooling down the hot summers and giving shelter and heat radiation from the sun in the cold winters.
