Function & Accessibility

The site plan shows how the site encourages active interaction and pedestrian centered accessibility.

This site takes advantage of the multiple transportation choices or otherwise reduced motor vehicle use, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and other environmental and public health harms associated with motor vehicle use. Located next to the high school football field, the Community Center will provide ample parking space on football game days and open field for family activities.

LESS INITIAL RISK: The overall project is split into smaller, more affordable pieces. You may be able to move forward without a guarantee of future funding.

LESS IMPACT ON CASH FLOW: Costs are spread over a longer period of time. SHORTER CONSTRUCTION TIME: A smaller scope of work results in an abbreviated construction schedule.

Sustainable Design Sustainable design requires understanding how a building impacts its immediate surroundings and the environment as a whole. We approach projects with not merely an attitude of how we can create a minimal footprint, but rather how can we inspire and motivate behavior within and even beyond the structure.

Site Planning

1. Accommodate level access for people with disabilities

Building and site in harmonious relationship.

Use of Soft Colors for a Salutogenic and wellness environment.

Way finding and accessibility will be the approach to the program arrangement .

Scheme Simulation

The linear scheme is used here due to its typology of expansion, flexibility and adaptation.

Several basic spatial organization schemes can be developed by manipulating the transitional space. Each scheme is evaluated in terms of activity interrelationships, flexibility of use, adaptation to site and climate variables, and provision for expansion.

Adjust heights to account for Functions

Define massing in support of wayfinding

Programmatic Box Introduce Sustainability

DESIGN CONCEPT

Based on the activity analysis, the community center should be spatially organized to focus all small group activities on the central program area with the transitional spaces integrating the two elements. A hierarchy of characteristics should be established which orders the activities away from the central program area according to size - large to small; active to passive; communal to private.

The play between geometric and organic space creates a profound atmospheric rhythm. Also, the gymnasium can transform into a bed setup for the surge space and other emergencies like hurricane and storm. Due to the beautiful relationship between the exterior and interior, active energy use can be reduced without discomforting the users.

the growing county

MORRIS COUNTY

Morris County is located in northeastern Texas, one county removed from the state’s northern boundary and one county removed from the state’s eastern boundary. Daingerfield, the county seat and largest town, is fifty miles southwest of Texarkana and 125 miles northeast of Dallas. The county’s center lies at 33°07’ north latitude and 94°44’ west longitude. U.S. Highway 67 traverses the northern part of the county from east to west, U.S. Highway 30 crosses the northwestern part of the county, and U.S. Highway 259 crosses north and south.

The county’s transportation needs are also served by two railroads, the St. Louis and Southwestern and the Louisiana and Arkansas, originally constructed in the late 1870s as the Texas and St. Louis and the East Line and Red River, respectively.

dispersed central axial

The dispersed scheme scatters spaces to reduce conflicts, uses enclosed spaces to buffer sound and separates open spaces. The transitional space acts as a decentralized link that both connects and separates activities. Buffer activities separate the large group area from peripheral small group activities. This arrangement decreases opportunities for social interaction but allows diverse activities to occur within a relatively constricted area.

The central scheme places the central program area in a core position with small group activities encircling it; the transitional space separates the two elements.

The large group activity area is central and separates conflicting small group activities. Since the large group area is adjacent to all other areas across the transitional area, opportunities for social interactions are maximized.

The axial scheme combines the intents of the linear and central schemes; the transitional space is divided into two axial paths around the central program area which separate incompatible small group activities.

The central large group area separates con flicting small group activities and is adjacent to most areas including the lobby across the transitional area. This arrangement should maximize opportunities for social interaction

space and cost

All spaces are designed with high consideration to accommodate level access for people with disabilities. The clinic will serve as a dynamic space since it may be forced to transform into a surge capacity space. Utility supplies like electricity, air and water will be run in the ceiling. Also, the gymnasium can be transformed into a negative and positive pressure room depending on the surge emergency. Structurally, strong horizontal datum is established to sink the concrete into the timber using glass and inexpensive steel for shading device.

Roof cantilevers provide shading to the café and entertainment deck, while high level roofing and skylights allow natural lighting to flow through the building.

A theoretical analysis of the potential connection between these two projects is explored through a comparison of Denari’s and Breuer’s architectural designs. We took unrollings of the interior of each project during our investigation and compared them side by side. The C.U.H.K. appeared extremely similar to the Whitney when compared to these, with the exception that each level lacked its proper convex shape. Breuer’s Whitney followed the linear because the floors were placed according to the stairs, whereas Denari’s had a relationship of contraction and expansion. The floors’ stairways appeared to play a game of extrusions that initially matched the C.U.H.K appearance. We then experimented to see what would happen.

NOW THAT EACH FLOOR WAS ORIENTED IN A NEARLY CONVEX PLANE TO MIRROR THE WHITNEY’S UNROLLING, WE EVALUATED THE OUTCOMES. WE DISCOVERED A PECULIAR PHENOMENON: the movement that had been expanding and forming a contraccon suddenly vanished. The internal steps of the C.U.H.K. were now emitting a much more linear pattern, albeit they were still far from perfect like the Whitney.

With its linear organizational structure, the Whitney, in contrast, opposes the radial. When we look at the elevation, we can see how the ground and each storey are being extruded in order to achieve the impression of being a planar structure. The lines on the interior and the lines from the exterior are now connected to produce a linear grid pattern by intersecting these two concepts. When the exterior of the Whitney is unrolled, this principle is also illustrated. A similar grid pattern is created by aligning and crossing the connection points.

The focus of our study is the sharp divisions inside reality. However, the addition of representation to the argument will compel our object’s strength to give way to an objective state of being. And once our object separates from its ontological identities, they become complete through our drawings. Our goal is to materialize as this new, upgraded reality where the garden is harmoniously fulfilled. the suggestion of completion and knowledge while being impartial. The unfathomable entire.

Utilizing strategies like positioning, orientation, and critical joint intersecting, which are in tune with the entropic language of our objects, we used a scalar game of envelopment to create our secconal objects. This created the appearance of whole-to-whole relationships as opposed to part-to-whole relationships and the perception of multi-scalar implicaaon of tension. A “figural parasite” conflict that develops over time by seeping into and out of the inner organizations is also present. We used figural/fragmented parasiism to add more impactful moments throughout the section, but as a result, these moments evolved into spaces of occupancy, transitional spaces, and fit neatly into a critical aesthetic context.

P T C D OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION

STUDIO: 1ST SPRING YEAR PROJECT YEAR: 2019/2020 SITE: KATY, TX SCHOOL: TEXAS A&M

PROBLEM STATEMENT

This project requires me to propose an outpatient rehabilitation center accomodationg several related functions such as Cardiac Rehabilitation, Physical Rehabilitation, Staff Support Area and Public Areas.

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.

It will explore design solutions that harness qualities and conditions for human and enviromental sustainability.

• 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.

• 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.

AIRWATER

The inherent serenity of water, especially when held in a pool specially designed to ensure a calm, glass-like surface, adds a pensive mood to an outdoor space, sometimes inspiring the mental reflection of visitors.

The design includes an energy recovery ventilator. Ventilators adjust the air daily depending on the number of people and activity levels in the building. Basically, it pushes the stale air out and draws in the fresh air.

DECIDOUS TREES

Deciduous tress provide shade during summer and lose their leaves in winte; allowing the sunlight to penetrate the building

Re-designing the Bowie school was a project we didn’t expect it to be very intense and detailed. we were face with so many difficulties and challenges ranging from how the building meets the ground and equally how it meets the sky. Before the design brief, we were told an old delapidated school shelf sitting in the heart of downtown bryan, Texas was going to be transformed into a glamourous construction, engineering and multi-funtional building.

It was hard to move with the flow however we were excited about the project. The genesis stage was the collection - getting inventory, using data analysis and other building design softwares like FLOWDESIGN, LADYBUG, GRASSHOPPER and CLIMATE CONSULTANT, then the adoration process which was the most challenging due to the fact the city was old and has some historic preservation laws which anyone could easily have guessed the tallet building was just a 3 floors parking garage or hospital.

Lighting

1) Daylighting open office spaces on the North and South sides of the building works well.

2) External shading devices will work at the southern facade.

3) Internal light shelves with daylight glazing above (high visible transmittance (VT) and view glazing below (low VT), along with horizontal blinds on the view glazing, can maximize daylighting potential and glare control.

Climate

THE PRIMARY DRIVING FORCES IN HOT, HUMID CLIMATES:

1) Solar loads through the fenestration.

2) Significant cooling energy associated with removing indoor moisture.

3) Moisture ingress arising from storms or other disturbances.

HVAC

1) It is clear that consistent humidity control is absolutely essential.

2) A necessary strategy to maintain humidity control is proper dehumidification of all outdoor air (OA) for ventilation.

3) Radiant cooling systems (ceilings or chilled beams) are possible in a tightly sealed envelope with excellent humidity control at the DOAS.

Envelope

1) The goal is to reduce the heat gain through the envelope as much as possible through strategic fenestration and shading placement.

2) Glazing type is usually double glazed in order to protect the Low-E coating in the cavity to improve SHGC.

3) SHGCs that are intentionally low are recommended.

4) Cool roofs, which reduce solar heat absorption into the building.

U-Value & R-Value

Reconfiguring the energy use intensity to the recommended minimum in climate zone 2 took the EUI to 22 which beat the LEED green building architecture 2030 standard.

Photo-Voltaic Panels

Applying Photovoltaic panels at the roof top to provide renewable energy brought the EUI down to 10.

The Creation Of This Furniture Takes Its Dimention From Simplicity With Consideration Of Having A Bed Holder And A Floor Level In One Function. A Bed Holder Shouldnt Necessirily Be Used For Beds Only But Can Also Serve As A Level Between Two Floors.

General Motors Strives To Develop Environmental Initiatives That Promote Sustainability And Innovation. The Offal As A Galvanized By-Product Presents The Opportunity To Redesign The Organic Shape And Give It A Second Life As A New, Useful Product. The Offal As A Sheet Of Malleable Steel Can Thus Be Manipulated In Various Ways. For The Purpose Of This Project, It Was Transformed As A Modular Element For A Building Skin System. The Concept Behind The Modular Skin System Stems From Zero-Waste.

This Design Utilizes The Entire Offal And promotes General Motors’ Mission To Becoming Zero-Waste. As The Offal Is Galvanized, And Therefore Water-Resistant, I Developed A Sloped Elementto Help Promote Rainwater Drainage. I Then Manipulated The Offal To Create Space Within The Modular Element, Allowing For Climbing Vines To Inhabit The Space And Make For A Green, Lush Environment.

Argurably the hardest and intersting part of being an Architect is when one tries to create a tangible idea of of nothing. The concept of the facade was gotten from the fusion of extruding and intruding triangles for a concept of final form that will create a flowing generic shade of light when it is been hit by the sun ray.

During the genesis statge of the design, two final forms were established however after a good consulation with my professor ( Arc Ahmed K. Ali) I realised the first form had more depth, geomertic function and aesthetics so the first form got adopted for final touch.

Consuming a zero waste design was a big challenge so i decided to turn the irregular far right and left sides of the offal backward which is going to serve as the connecting hands to the next offal.

STEEL AS A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL

Technical challenges can always lead to projective projects that provoke new meaning in materials and fabrication. In the design world, a rejected concept is just a concept for later. Technical challenges present themselves in a variety of ways. When designs online do not adhere to constraints and fail in the manufacturing process, designers must innovate and redesign, leading to different projects. When projects fail, they also stimulate the desire to utilize other sources and create new networks to develop the project further. If a material was designed through contemporary digital practice to bend at a certain angle and fails to do so in the lab, new research can be developed and new experiments can begin in order to study the materiality of certain substances. Zahner experiments with different patinas, transforming metals and catalyzing design. If a certain chemical reaction is intended to make a metal blue colors the metal pink, new designs can utilize the pink metal and create new designs. Technical challenges create. Every technical challenge is an opportunity for discovery because in the design world, every concept is zero-waste.

Once certain limitations are set, consulting with skilled engineers that understand the structural integrity of the ideas at hand help the architect design realistic goals. Creativity comes from understanding a designer’s limits and stretching, transforming them into something incredible.Every constraint has an attribute and every constraint is a design opportunity.

Understanding the design demands of the client and users as well as their limitations stretches the opportunities left for the designer to manipulate. Architects must understand the budget at hand and the capacities of the manufacturer before even designing a concept.

Collaborations between architects, engineers and manufacturing influence the design process before design development even starts. Design is a business, and as such, involves multiple parties with a variety of demands and only certain supplies.

ADOPTION OF GREEN ROOF DESIGN AND PRACTICE IN MANGROVE SWAMP FOREST: A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED GREEN ROOF BUILDINGS IN NIGERIA.

BY JOSEPH OCHE ALI (REG. NO: 10/24573U/4)

A RESEARCH SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, SCHOOL OF ENVIROMENTAL DESIGN, ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, BAUCHI, BAUCHI STATE.

IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE AWARD OF BARCHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY DEGREE_ (B-TECH) ARCHITECTURE.

ABSTRACT

This project studies the properties of green roofs and their potential mitigating effects on the urban heat island (UHI) and how it can help regulate the mangrove swamp forest’s harsh temperature. the UHI is associated with many negative effects such as increases in air pollution, heat-related illness and mortality, water temperatures in streams, and greenhouse gas emissions in the mangrove swamp forest. these negative effects will become pronounced as it is estimated that over the next century, urban temperatures will increase by an additional 3 to 7oc.

The aim of this study is to establish that green roofs are of benefit to buildings and their users. the potential they have to aid conservation of climate in the area. many studies have been conducted concerning the UHI effect and the benefits of green roof mitigation, but studies have been limited to the overall effects or benefits green roofs could have on an entire city or country. with the use of data collection, this project used two existing buildings in Lagos state to gain a better understanding of the effects which green roofs have on an entire city. one building incorporated green roof while the other is made of standard building materials.

The building temperatures were monitored using temperature, humidity, rain, and wind sensors to assess the impact of green roofs on the overall temperature of the building. the data were collected from December 2015 to January 2016, on an hourly basis. the differences in the indoor and outdoor temperatures show that black roofs were warmer in both cases. green roofs will create awareness and hopefully provide guidelines and steps in micro building climate which could be plowed back into the design stages, construction stage, and regulatory stage, and maintenance stage
