WATER MUSEUM (W/M)

Awards: The 22nd Annual Steel Design Student Competition: Honorable Award

Senior Project Architecture Sustainable Design Award

Publication: Dezeen. “Fifteen design projects by graduates of Savannah College of Art and Design”

Course: ARCH 405/406 - Capstone- Winter-Spring 2022

Professor: Daniel Brown

Software: Revit, AutoCAD, Lumion, InDesign, Photoshop

Both the mountains and the valleys of the French Broad River basin contain valuable ecological and cultural features including an exceptional biological diversity of plants and animals, pristine headwater streams, fertile soils, scenic beauty and intact agricultural communities. The French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers in the world with only the Nile and New river predating the French Broad. It is one of only a few rivers in the United States that flows North. A water stream is proposed that flows into the site. This not only makes it possible to study water and implement system purification but also enhancing flora and fauna, raising the value of the site from design and entertainment point of view, and keeping the river in its natural state.

The typology of the building consists of three important spaces: the first part of the building is a public exhibition, the second is semi-private, and the third space in the middle serves as the artery of life of the museum; a place of gathering, enjoying nature and celebrating water. The Water Museum introduces innovative methods of water purification, collecting water samples from rivers and lakes around the world, preserving water heritage, providing educational and entertainment programs to establish a new culture of water and fostering a new relationship between humanity and water, reconnecting people with the tangible and intangible aspects of this element, including its social, cultural, ecological, artistic, and spiritual dimensions.

Photovoltaic Modules

The sun-adaptive envelope mitigates solar isolation, thereby offering reductions in heating/cooling loads, and improving the distribution of daylight. Integrating PV modules into a dynamic shading system generate electricity and balance energetic performance with architectural expression.

GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM

Geothermal energy is green energy that has a consistent source: the solar energy stored in the earth itself. It works by taking energy to & from the ground and delivering it to the building. The ceiling heating systems use a series of pipes that circulate hot water to heat the space.

WATER FILTERING

Aquaporin Inside® technology is introduced in this project as a filtration system. It incorporates aquaporin proteins to replicate nature’s own water filtration process to filter water faster and more energy-efficiently. One square meter of the synthetic man-made membrane can filter around 50 liters of water per hour. One gram of aquaporins can filter 700 liters per second.

RAINWATER HARVESTING captures, diverts, and stores rainwater from curve rooftop of the museum for later use. Rainwater harvesting is strategy in the greater scheme of reducing domestic water use.

RAISED FLOOR is a construction model in which an elevated floor is built above a building’s original concrete slab surface. The empty space between the panels and the subfloor acts as a plenum chamber to dispense conditioned air evenly throughout the building.

HABITAT 2022: SELF-HEALING LIVING

The 2022 Habitat Design Competition: Climate Positive Concrete Housing ARCH 404 - Urban Context - Fall 2021 Professor Emad Afifi

Software: Revit, AutoCAD, Lumion, InDesign, Photoshop, Camera Drone Self-Healing Concrete Living

The Habitat Self-Healing Living adopts the use of self-healing concrete within duplex house prototypes in an urban in-fill project site. Analogous to recovering urban fabric, bio-concrete has the capacity to repair its own cracks from aging and imperfections. The Habitat Self-Healing Concrete Duplex Houses are made entirely of bio-concrete using a modular construction methods. The site plan martially embodies the physical materiality of cast-in-place concrete by presenting

The expected longevity of self-healing concrete homes will balance embodied energy levels over the project life-cycle. Sustainable energy and carbon reduction is achievable through operational efficiency, maintenance and automatic operation with smart user intervention. The self-healing concrete method observes criteria such as long shelf life, pervasive, quality, reliability, versatility, and repeatability. These new affordable housing models also provide greater respect for

DUPLEX

A type of multifamily property containing TWO LIVING UNITS located within the same structure and on the same lot. The TWO UNITS are attached horizontally such that the units are side by side and share a common wall.

A type of multifamily property containing FOUR LIVING UNITS located within the same structure and on the same lot. The FOUR UNITS are attached vertically and horizontally such that the units are on separate floors and share a common ceiling and a common wall.

A type of multifamily property containing THREE LIVING UNITS located within the same structure and on the same lot. The left part of the duplex - the ONE UNIT consists of two floors and shares a common wall. The right part of the duplex consists of TWO UNITS that share a common wall and a common ceiling.

BIO-CONCRETE

Unlike regular concrete, self-healing concrete contains bacteria called bacillus pasteurii. As the bacteria eat, grow and reproduce, they excrete calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate. When the calcite bonds to the concrete, it fills the crack and seals it up.

Solar power systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Solar panels helps combat greenhouse gas emissions, reduces collective dependence on fossil fuels, and reduces or eliminates energy bills.

Rainwater harvesting captures, diverts, and stores rainwater from rooftop of the home for later use. Rainwater harvesting is strategy in the greater scheme of reducing domestic water use.

The green roof provides shade, removes heat from the air, and reduces temperatures of the roof surface. The courtyard provides natural ventilation and daylight. The introduction of green design in this project increases interaction with nature. The entrance to the house is glazed and can serve as a greenhouse.

The floor heating systems use a series of pipes underneath the floors that circulate hot water to heat the filing directly making the room warmer.
