1. Accommodation Taking the teacher moduler as an example to explain the design principles, design strategies, and design process. The image on the left top is five principles I have used. The ten small images on the right are strategies based on the five principles. Three images in the middle are plan, folded section, and detailed section.
08 extended round roof sheet to prevent sunlight at a high angle
09 high ceiling to accelerate air flow and decrease humidity in wet season
07 high windows with fixed batten for ventilation, orientation and density of the battens prevent horizonal rain
10 multi-functional windows with different open ways, satisfy ventilation during different time periods, sitting, storage and safety
06 extral protection on eaves of veranda to defend upwards lift
11 extra storage space, underneath bed and sofa, decrease barriers in space above 400mm
12 non mechanism ventilation, ventialtion holes on the ground
05 reinforced and continious joints from roof to footings to to transfer external forces underground, especially in cyclonial weather
13 openings connected to the house are sealed with fly screen
04 localized material that guarantees cultural and environmental-friendly
14 back and front veranda with different purposes, to adjust privacy level 03 ‘modular structure’, with only dimension of 100*100 and 50*100 to save material and provide high convinent installation
15 gardening on the back to improve employment and focus on personal experience and identity in campus 16 bushes + trees, i.e. physical barrier and division + shading, native plant speciecs
01 reinforced concrete footing to stabilize the timber structure in cyclonial weather
02 steel bracket to join footing and timber structure above, also prevent effect of flooding and termite on material
