The design thesis aims to explore the alternative medical component of health and wellness tourism and how architecture can be used as an intervention to aid in the healing process. The study looks into various spatial theories on psychological wellness with the intent to translate these into architectural form.
G - Residence
(Project in collaboration with the office of Ar. Denise de Castro)
The G-Residence makes use of the major axes of the sun and micro-wind patterns to determine its plan orientations. Making use of tropical design elements, it is able to optimize the elements to work to its advantage. Brise soleils, fins, and pressure walls are a few of the elements used as part of its tropical design strategies.

Heat Losses
The project strongly makes use of environmental parameters to inform architectural design. Spatial elements of the buildings were optimized based on the interior space’s functional requirements. Through the study of the heat loss coefficients, the project was able to plot the performance of all residential units to inform the design how much treatment a specific part of the building needs.

Designing for the Tropics: The study aims to deconstruct the framework in which tropical architecture operates in so to identify its parameters and work towards creating multiple design solutions that will address the very issue. This study also looks into generative and parametric design to perform iterative studies to highlight the key criteria and main drivers that comprise tropical architecture. Through intensive sensitivity studies, these identified parameters will be extrapolated to create articulated morphologies which aim to reduce incident solar radiation on the building envelope through responsive and kinetic facades.

The study made use of an algorithm that computes for the allowed monthly incident solar radiation as a function of the heat loss coefficient is created. This informs how a kinetic facade should respond to its environment based on both its outdoor and indoor conditions.
Approx. 550 kWh/sqm Target Annual Incident Solar Radiation on Building Facade for Fixed Shading Strategy
With Applied Shading
Base Conditions Radial Scatter Plot
A radial scatter plot visualizes the amount of incident solar radiation falling on a buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glazed surfaces based on a specified context. In the diagram shown above and at the right, the geometries represent glazed surfaces and their corresponding incident solar radiation levels. This study gives an idea on which glazed surfaces need treatment. The same study can also be used to test how effective a shading strategy is based on a specific orientation.

Fitness Objective 1 Minimizing Surface Area
Fitness Objective 2 Maximize Daylight
Fitness Objective 3 Minimize Insolation
Standard Deviations
Evolutionary algorithms create multiple solutions based on specified parameters. Fitness objectives are set to inform the engine that certain parameters are to be modified so as to arrive at an optimal solution that balances contradicting spatial requirements. The study creates an opportunity to select from a multitude of solutions within a user-defined domain.
