Mr. Graham Mckay Senior Design Project II

Abstract The project aims to address the flaws of the typical building design, due to the late planning and fragmentation in the building industry as a whole, Improved Integrative Design Process (IIDP) has been developed to solve the various flaws that confront the typical building design in Dubai, thus achieve a high performance building that is work to serve it occupants with the maximum efficiency not the vice versa. This book describes the process and the methodology of implementing Improved Integrative Design Process on a mixed-used BURJ AL-TAKAMOL tower that is located in Dubai, lagoons. The implementation of the process was in four phases: - Design Brief that describe the project intent from the stakeholder point of view - Design Proposal which describes each specialist point of view , the recommendations & the strategies to achieve their interests at the early stages of design - Architectural Design the concept & development of the building design according to the recommendation that has been set in the third phase. - Assessment of Integration the verification of the architectural design according to the integration assessment criteria to that leads to each specialist satisfaction.

- Conclusion

- Improved Integrative Design Process Overview

o WHAT IS IIDP: Is a collaborative method for designing buildings which em-

phasizes the development of a holistic design with different aspects of view at the early stages , that achieve more energy and resources efficient results by optimizing whole systems for multiple benefitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; cultural, environmental ,economical and technical as a whole interdependent system, not disjoint components for single benefits, and this often makes gains in end- use efficiency much bigger and cheaper than conventionally supposed.

o WHY: Because it address the flaws of the typical building design, due to the

late planning and fragmentation in the building industry as a whole, while the typical design process is linear and sequential, this path does not take into account all affected partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs, areas of expertise or insights at the early stages of the design decisions. So, using the typical building design method, incompatible elements of the design are not discovered until late stages in the process when it is expensive to make changes. Thus typical building design method can actually make a system less efficient, simply by not properly linking up those fragments. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not designed to work with one another, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tend to work against one another.

o HOW it works: Design of the building will be viewed as an interdependent system, as opposed to an accumulation of its separate components.

The work structure of the process will be divided into two main interdependent stages, the Design Brief and the Design Proposal. Design Brief will discuss mainly the recommendation that have been set by the client, and the program plus the cost-benefit analysis that have been developed by the project manager. Design Proposal which is derived from the design brief will discuss the recommendations that have been developed by the project manager & the specialists which will affect the design decisions, thus it will be considered as the starting point of the architect to begin his work.

Due to the region concern and project type consideration we have chosen an office/residential mixed used tower to implement the idea of the process and see its feasibility on the future towers that will be built in Dubai.

- Process Methodology

o The implementation of the process will be in Four phases : Phase one : the requirements from the client to the project manager to develop the “Design brief “ Phase two : the recommendation of each specialist into the” design proposal “ Phase three: the architectural design of the building. Phase four: integration assessment -verification of the satisfaction of each specialist.

o Phase one “ Design brief “  The client requirements

 Contract type

Since the complexity of the project, we suggest to the client to choose management contracting where a client employs a management contractor to manage the construction phase of a project to insure the integration is fully achieved according to the process intent. 12

ď&#x201A;§ď&#x201A;§ Business Plan by the project manger

In the business Plan, the project manager will be explaining how the project will be implemented and applied according to business and economical point of view, and it will be done by creating a cost-benefit analysis for the project.

o Phase three: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ď&#x201A;§ď&#x201A;§ Brain storming (mass configuration )

This stage was the most important stage of design process since the design decisions were limited by the design proposal recommendations that address different points of view and thus make the decision much harder.

So we developed an evaluation criteria that satisfy the interested parties in this stage.

The evaluation criteria were based on:

Focusing on the desired end-use places purposes and application before equipment, efficiency before supply, passive before active, simple before complex.

Broadening design scope embraces whole systems and sets end-use performance metrics. Analyzing gaps between theoretical minimum requirements and typical usage reveals overlooked opportunities for elegant frugality. Optimizing systems, not isolated parts, lets single expenditures yield multiple benefits. Evidence-based analysis supplants rules of thumb. Measurement and prudence replace mindless oversizing and allow operational risks to be managed explicitly and intelligently. End-use savings multiply upstream energy and capital savings, so efficiency logic is sequenced in the direction opposite to energy flow. Design satisfies rare conditions (making appropriate trade offs and engaging end-users), but emphasizes typical conditions to maximize performance integrated over the range. Controls and embedded sensors create intelligence and learning, so design can be optimized in real operation and further improved in future applications. Designing from scratch, at least initially, creatively harnesses â&#x20AC;&#x153;beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind,â&#x20AC;? spans disciplinary silos, surpass traditional solutions, and further expand the design space.

ď&#x201A;§ď&#x201A;§ Configuration alternatives

These alternatives have been arranged from the most suitable configuration to the lowest according to the elevation criteria for the concept mass modeling. So, the first mass model has been chosen to be developed and satisfy the specialistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interests.

This photo show the conclusion of what are the best mass model configuration can be used to be developed depending on the best ideas that has been driven from the previous stage. 22

 Mass model development

The building mass is set to be on different layers which satisfied the evaluation criteria.

The splash : a double glazed glass screen which is elongated along the east-west direction and positioned on the south face of the building, that protect the building from the direct heat gain to reduce its cooling demand and also create a wind tunnel through its 8 parts divisions that is set to create a positive pressure by its 5m gap in the direction of the prevailing wind (north-west )and a negative pressure on the other end by its 1m distance gap that accelerate the wind between the building façade and the splash screen and thus drive the wind towards the top of the building by convection through absorption of façade heat.

Residential mass: the second component of the building is the residential part that is located attached to the office building by a core which increases the efficiency of the planning for both components through the common area. The mass is set to be a part of a circle in plan to maximize shading On the office part and also maximize views in both directions to give The user the spectacular views of the lagoons. The mass is set to be ascending toward the middle of the tower which add more views and satisfy structural symmetrical requirements and creates more usable open spaces one different height strata.

Core mass: the third component of the building is the core which is located to be the key stone for both the residential and the office masses, the core is a concrete shear box the is meant to be in the middle of the overall mass to provide a more efficiency in terms of planning, and on the other hand act as a torsional box that protect building from twisting due to lateral loads.

Office mass : the offices is located on the north side of the building which is protected from the east, west and south by the residential mass from the direct sunlight and thus create a more comfortable spaces to work more efficient.

The initial energy mass model had been set to verify the location, orientation and position of the building fragments in its whole set and within its environment. Fortunately, the energy mass model give a results that satisfied the intent of sustainability consultant which increase the heat avoidance and reduce the cooling demand of the building by 60% comparing to a conventional building of the same type .

The wind analysis has been verified that the wind is at the peak speed at the gap between the building and the splash and thus achieves the expectations of the sustainability consultant to generate the on-site renewable energy by the dynamic wind turbines.

ď&#x201A;§ď&#x201A;§ Preliminary Design â&#x20AC;˘ Site plan

The site is bounded by a green area from the west and south, while from the north it is adjutant to the focal point of the lagoons where the biggest project will be done, and last but not least it is bounded from the east by a street which is consider the only access for the automobile vehicles. The building footprint is covering about 35% of the site area which gives the site more open space that protect the on-site habitat. The street is a four lane two-way road that leads the automobile to an underground parking or to the drop off area of the offices, residential and retail entrances. 26

The access for the garbage track is set be on the open grid pavement at the south direction of the site which get a multiple benefit that reduce hard-scape on-site and increase vegetation since it only meant to be an access for the track in a specified period of time during the day. On the west belt of the site, the site is designed to provide a walkway with a retail spaces on a side that gives more special feature which may attract non-building users to the site.

â&#x20AC;˘ Underground parking

According to the client requirement to achieve at least 1880 parking spaces the 5 levels underground parking achieve this intent with the with the minimum requirement . Mostly the design of parking is set to be designed with logic to the user mentality and to get the most number of lots with a radial distribution of columns along the site area. The access for each parking is from the two ramps that are set in the dead area where the columns become closer to each other that prevent the cars to park. Other concern is set for the water tanks, gray and black water recycling systems

which will be described later.

Like most of the other towers the ground floor plan is set to be divided into lobbies, services rooms and retail spaces. But to give a more value for the leasable area the retail spaces where divide into two zones, near to the main vehicles access to the site there is two retail spaces that doesn’t require involving the users into the building, a bank and its ATM machines for the all users and a governmental retail for transactions as TASJEEL. While on the other side of the building a long retail spaces that accumulate 16 shop spaces into a two story that is access from a semi-closed pedestrian walkways and serviced by a big porches for sitting areas.

Here in this floor we can see the typical floor planning of the building from level 1 up to level 19. In this floor there are four 3-bedroom apartments & six 2-bedroom apartments & eight 1-bedroom apartments & eight studio apartments. These were have been set according to achieve a greater value for the building by its diversity and location , the most preferable views is on the north of the building where it was positioned for a 1-bedroom apartment and a corner 3-bedroom apartment the while on the other hand the other side apartment where set to be an studios and 2-bedroom apartment and as previous a corner 3-bedroom apartment these flats where set not on the most preferred view but where given more spaces for view since the faĂ§ade over their where concave up to give more portion of view. Each apartment where designed on the basic of 4 elements: provide as much as possible of living space, create a visual continuity and a pleasing impression for the 32

users, provide as much as possible of natural day lighting penetration by locating the wet area far away from the faรงade of the building, and last but not least is the simplicity which gives a more value for more placing furniture possibilities. These apartments is served by a core that have a 5 elevators +1 good elevator, and infrastructure services and a garbage chute that is designed to be for recycling. On the north side of the building the office spaces is serviced by 8 elevators and a two separate bathrooms for ladies and gentlemen, these office space is meant to be left without division to give the flexibility to the rented firm to address his intent in the division and decorations, but its advised to use low part ions desks with a top glass portion to maximize views and day lighting penetrations

â&#x20AC;˘ Typical -02

Here in this floor we can see the typical floor planning of the building from level 20 up to level 38. In this floor there are six 2-bedroom apartments & eight 1-bedroom apartments & eight studio apartments. In this section of the building the modular unit has disappeared from both sides of 34

the building which make change in the value of the corner 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment, thus they get more value for their 2 sides views and daylight penetration. The structure of the building become less, so it increases the value and gives a more rigid common structural system to the building. 35

â&#x20AC;˘ Health club

As usually in high rise building, this level was specified to have a 354 sq. Meter gymnasium that served the tenants of the building plus its wet area the gymnasium is meant to get a 3-sides view to the surrounding to motivate the users by the horizon view and the huge penetration of daylight into the gymnasium, the gymnasium is divided into two parts: indoor and outdoor to increase the value of the services in the building and thus add a luxurious value to the apartment. On the other side of the level a massage, personal training and a therapy room that were located on the perimeter of the building that gives the users the spectacular views of the surrounding. 36

The outdoor swimming pool is one of the most amazing features of this building since it is located on 161 meter height from the ground level to increase the value of the building in terms of its services. On the office side were some of the offices needs place to take a break from the working environment the design meant to specify a coffee shop with an indoor/outdoor setting area to give them the chance to release the working stress.

â&#x20AC;˘ Typical -03

Here in this floor we can see the typical floor planning of the building from level 40 up to level 55. In this floor there are 4 2-bedroom apartments & four 1-bedroom apartments & six studio apartments. Again In this section of the building the modular unit has disappeared from both sides of the building which make change in the value of the corner 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment, thus they get more value for their 2 sides views and daylight penetration. 38

The structure of the building become less, so it increases the value and gives a more rigid common structural system to the building as it become less weight when it get higher.

â&#x20AC;˘ Pent house -01

One of the most amazing apartment units were the 2 floor bent houses since they are located on the heights point of the building they were designed to be one of its kind among all the other pent houses. These luxuries bent houses were featuring outdoor spaces that contain swimming pools to add value for them and where designed to be for the rich people since they are very expensive apartment that have a special design.

â&#x20AC;˘ Pent house -02

Here is the second level of the bent houses these bent houses were treated in the design as a villa design which is suggested to be for a rich family.

Mechanical floors where set on top of the two middle segments level 39 & 56 to give a space for the huge depth beams to carry the loads of the swimming pools above it directly. The health club floor level 40 where set above of the mechanical floor to give him the ability to occupy an outdoor space since it is a common area for all tenants plus to make it at the middle of the apartment units to be easy accessible by the most of the tenants and workers at offices.

â&#x20AC;˘ Renders

To complete with the full image of the building some renders where taking from different positions to visualize the previous illustration of the building. 48

o Phase four: integration assessment

This section will verify each specialist satisfaction of the architectural design of the building according to the design proposal that have been set at the early stages of the project.

Since the main concept of this project is the integration between the specialist to give them a bigger view to the project the weight in the assessment criteria will be distributed equally among them all, to avoid the bias of one filed among the others.

According to seismic design consideration the architectural design was: 24m wide base and a 237 meter height which consider in width to height ratio 1/10 which satisfy the condition for high-rise buildings since the minimum width to height ratio is 1/8 as rule of thumb for convention structural systems. 3.5m floor to floor height almost was used in the building to give a stiffer structure among the seismic loads. The symmetrical planning with a concrete shear box in the middle satisfies the torsional resistance case. And a convention structural system of a two way slab that is rest on beams will give direct load path towards the ground.

The underground parking have been used the RC troughed slab system and this plan shows tributary area (loads above)of each columns to show that it satisfy the table of economical use of structural system on the base of the rule of thumb and the plan shows that the spans doesn’t exceed the span of 12m which is in the range of the typical economical span range for the RC troughed slab The next plan shows the typical floor slabs of the building which is the two way slab systems and this plan shows the tributary area of each beam that doesn’t exceed 12m span range which is in the range of the typical economical span range for the RC troughed slab.

• Attached structure

Other concern of the structural engineer is that the splash which is consider as an external steel structural element that is attached to the building at its slabs and help with the load path distribution to be externally/internally rather than internally only. Shading devices were also having a steel structure that transfers its loads through tensioned cables to the floor slabs and eventually to the columns to be driven to the ground.

 Sustainability consultant

• LEED

Most of our design decisions were made based LEED strategies not only to earn points in different categories, But to create a sustainable yet functional design that serves the needs and keeps the basic characteristics of a sustainable building. In this section, different LEED categories and credits will be described briefly.

â&#x20AC;˘ Sustainable Site ( SS ) :

Sustainable site category concerns about the different elements of a sustainable site, having elements like bicycle racks, shaded areas and public open spaces. It also concerns in some materials choice such as high Albedo materials and pervious pavement, the total amount of points obtained from this category is 25 Points. 58

â&#x20AC;˘ Water Efficiency (WE) :

The second category for LEED is the water efficiency, which assures that the building uses an efficient amount of water and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce a huge amount of water waste, and it starts from the water used in the site, Process water and water used by the users of the building, the total amount of points obtained in this category is 10 Points. 60

â&#x20AC;˘ Energy and atmosphere (EA) :

Which is the third category in LEED and mainly focuses on the energy related performance of the building, energy production systems on site and the life cycle energy of the building materials and elements, The total amount of points obtained from this category is 27 points. 62

â&#x20AC;˘ Materials and resources (MR):

The forth category for LEED is the Materials and resources which assures that the building is using the virgin materials efficiently and the waste of the construction and the life cycle use of the building is reduced and managed, The total amount of point obtained from this category is 7 Points. 64

â&#x20AC;˘ Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) :

Which is the fifth Category concerns on the comfort-ability of the users of the building in many aspects such as Thermal and light comfort and pollutant produced by the different activities in the building from the construction phase to smoking and cleaning activities. 66

â&#x20AC;˘ Innovation in Design (ID) :

The last category of LEED, Which allows the designer to earn extra points by achieving exemplary performance in any of the other LEED categories, or by hiring a LEED professional assistance, or by practicing the integrated design process, For the exemplary performance the building uses the Black and gray water treatment system, and for the integrated design process the building follows the improved integrative design process that was introduced by this project. The total point that was obtained

in this category is 2 Points. At the end of LEED categories, the design acquired 86 Points which gives it a LEED platinum according to the LEED credits system by achieving the prerequisites and the doable credits in each category. 69

â&#x20AC;˘ Passive Design :

Some other design Decisions were made based on climatic information of the site for more than one goal such as reducing the heat gain of the building which in effect reduces the cooling loads, give sufficient wind speed to the turbines to rotate and generate energy in all times and to choose the suitable building materials for such climate. Sun exposure analysis:

As seen in the above Sun exposure diagrams, the splash were located around the building covering the path of the sun protecting the building prom the heat but keeping the views and the light.

Wind analysis:

As well as the Solar exposure diagram, a Wind tunnel experiment were made on the model to show that the splash is not only for preventing the heat to reach the building, but also to gather and deliver the wind to the turbines, either the prevailing wind of the area or the hot air entering the area between the splash and the building from the bottom and rising up cooling the facades and rotating the turbines.

 MEP Engineer

• Duct plan

Here in this inverted ceiling plan and as the recommendation of the MEP engineer the ducts where used to be designed in the shortest path which is the main cardioid of the building.

Supply Return

This plan shows the false ceiling plan in the most critical floor plan which is (typical -01) the design intent meant to use the shortest way for the ducts to reach all over the spaces into the building and thus present a better value in terms of economic and spaces. 73

â&#x20AC;˘ District cooling

This photo were to show the mechanism of the cooling district system where the supplied 3 degree Celsius pipe entrance the building to be distributed among the apartments and then return the heated water to the supplier again.

â&#x20AC;˘ Wind turbine

This photo were to show the mechanism of the dynamic wind turbine system that is at the top of the building and the space at it bottom for the generates as the recommendation.

â&#x20AC;˘ Water cycle

This diagram explain the cycle of the water within the building since form were the disposal water came from the wet area in the building and the go to the underground tanks that transfer it to water treatment system that send it back to the upper tank to be reused by the non-potable water usage and for irrigation also. 76

 Landscape consultant

• Plant species •

Here is a table that shows the planting species that has been used in the project to make sure that we haven’t exceed the expectations.

â&#x20AC;˘ Storm water management

In this plan you can see the path of storm water into each portion of site and how we control the storm water runoff.

â&#x20AC;˘ Green roof Detail

In this working drawing shows the mechanism of installation of working drawing the green roof that is the higher floor. 78

â&#x20AC;˘ Drip irrigation network

Here is the net of drip irrigation that is designed to irrigate the planting on site.

- Conclusion Improved Integrative Design Process were mainly concern about the integration between the building elements to create an interdependent systems that avoid THE CONFLICT between building elements and thus creating a system that works with one other rather than against one another . IID process has enhanced the design strategies between the different specialists by direct the goal of the project towards environmental â&#x20AC;&#x201C;economical- technical benefits without interfere with the various specialists interests. The implementation of this process give the acknowledgment to the designer â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is the architectâ&#x20AC;? about the project various circumstances to achieve the intent from different aspects that lead to high performance building, the architect avoid the conflict between his and other specialists interest that conclude with the process intent.
