PROJECT BRIEF The following Rehabilitation space program is based on, but not limited by, the 2018 edition of the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines For Design And Construction of Hospitals. These Guidelines are used by most states to evaluate and set a minimum standard for healthcare facilities. Texas is adopting FGI in 2020. Used by Patients & Staff This project calls for the design of a public outpatient rehabilitation center with some complexity that includes paying high consideration to research based information, challenges from socio-cultural community, site topography and variety of stratergies for sustainable design.
OBJECTIVE • Apply ideas of environmnetal sustainable design • Design and create architectural space with consideration to reserch based information • Combine the environmnetal need, the site ( topography, history, socio-cultural events) and the users’ experience within simple building design . • Produce drawings (both 2 dimentional and 3 dimentional) to communicate and visualise architectural design and ideas that can be interpreted by non architects.
It will explore design solutions that harness qualities and conditions for human and enviromental sustainability,
AIM
PROJECT
• To develop a complete program for the outpatient rehabilitation center • To produce a complete architectural design for the outpatient rehabilitation center • This facility should meet ADA regulations. Accessibility on site and in the facility is important for patients and staff.

Katy is a suburb of Houston with a population of 18,094. Katy is in Waller County and is one of the best places to live in Texas. Living in Katy offers residents a sparse suburban feel and most residents own their homes. In Katy there are a lot of parks. Many families and young professionals live in Katy and residents tend to have moderate political views. The public schools in Katy are highly rated. Population 18,094

Due to the high level of rainfall, city regulations now call for all new construction to be built above the 500-year flood plain, plus an additional two feet. the level of 1st floor will be raised atleast 6 feet above the ground floor. Not only should valuables and areas like gymnasium be moved to the upper levels when possible, but smart materials will be selected that allow for the inevitable presence of water in our community. “If the building is constructed in a concrete block structure, no harm, no foul. It gets wet, and it dries, and we are good to go.

Prevailing wind in Houston is south-southeasterly at a mean speed of 7.4 mph. The humidity is high throughout the year and peaks at 90% during summer mornings due to the clashes of air masses that travel from the Gulf of Mexico and the desert lands.

Solar heat absorbed through windows and roofs can increase your air conditioning use. Incorporating shading concepts into your landscape design can help reduce this solar heat gain, by reducing surrounding air temperatures as much as 9° F Planting trees on the South and West sides of your home will produce the greatest energy efficiency benefits. Trees on the north end of your property can help reduce heating costs by reducing winter winds. Also, consider shading you air condoning unit, making it run more efficient.

A highly penetrable exterior with closed interior which might give introverted patients the feeling of no privacy. This is also considered a good approach of design because most patients who suffer physical challenge likes the feeling of privacy without suffocation PROJECT REVIEW

Proper site planning and site design in an outpatient rehabilitation environment is measured by how easy the designer makes the experience for every scenario that could possibly present; Vehicle and pedestrian flow, parking and wayfinding, traffic control, calming devices and lighting are all basic planning and design considerations that should be addressed during site design, not after.

A thoughtfully designed skin can make a new building work more effectively for its owners, occupants and environment. It can also transform the performance of an existing building.

West Facade East and West faรงades are the hardest for which to manage solar heat gain as the low angle between 10AM to 4PM in Texas is not controlled by vertical shading. South facing faรงades (in the Southern hemisphere) can admit good quantities of light even if there are projecting external shading systems; much of this daylight will have been reflected and the direct heat of the sun reduced.

Many variations of this idea have been developed in terms of the size of the compartments and the environmental operation of the system, which can be free flowing (gaps between glass panels), motorized automatically or with local override.

first simulation - Saftey and comfort of buildings and users is highly dependant on airflow around the building. the airflow simulation without vegetation on site shows us how the texas south southern wind will affect the building. Red is the dangerous guss that forms around or within the building Blue is the strong down draft on the leanward side of the structure and can lead to high concentration of pollutants
Second simulation - After keying in some important greenry to reduce the effect of the wind vortex on the structural phase of the building, the health effect the resulting wind will harbor in the building site. Our final simulation shows how the dangerous guss will be absorb by the cover crops place at the front of the building and how the deciduous plants will break the effect of the strong down draft.

Evergreen Tree TOUCH
Much like trees and their leaves provide shade and relief from the blazing summer sun, evergreen trees protect from harsh winter winds. They can also offer some sound proofing (up to 40%) and can act as an air pollution barrier

SUSTAINABLE System Continuity in daylight control •
There are many different reasons to control the amount of sunlight that is admitted into the rehabilitation center. In warm, sunny climates excess solar gain may result in high cooling energy consumption; in cold and temperate climates winter sun entering south-facing windows can positively contribute to passive solar heating; and in nearly all year, Katy climate needs controlling and diffusing natural illumination that will improve day lighting.
• Well-designed sun control and shading devices can dramatically reduce building peak heat gain and cooling requirements and improve the natural lighting quality of building interiors. Depending on the amount and location of fenestration, reductions in annual cooling energy consumption of 5% to 15% have been reported.
Aesthetics for healing •

Aesthetics can be an important link between technology development, design, nature and architecture. This shading device will not only serve the purpose of sustanability but create an ehnancing abstract geometry to show continuity and deconstructivism. This will also play a healing role in the main purpose of the building healing.
Shading device •
Sun control and shading devices can also improve user visual comfort by controlling glare and reducing contrast ratios. This often leads to increased satisfaction and productivity. Shading devices offer the opportunity of differentiating one building facade from another. This can provide interest and human scale to an otherwise undistinguished design.

For those individuals with disability, wheelchair ramps are incredibly beneficial. Without them, accessing PTCD will be time consuming and quite difficult to say the least. A disabled or wheelchair ramp is one of the most common provisions required by the guidelines.
•
Being that these are mobility device aids, wheelchair ramps serve a very useful purpose for those in wheelchairs and numerous other devices for improved accessibility.
