General Knowledge / Environmental Research

SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability is a complex term that can be applied to almost everything in our life, it is a broad discipline that when we hear about it we tend to think of the various renewable energy sources. That will enable us to define sustainability as the study of how natural systems function and produce everything for the environment to remain for the future. We should realize that it’s not easy to come up with a definition that all people will agree about. In general, it’s the process of making life possible for younger generations, and the ability to continue a defined behavior indefinitely. In broader terms, Sustainability is the ability to sustain or the capacity to endure.

Impact of buildings and construction on environment:

Viable

36% of total energy use and 65% of electricity consumption

Enviroment

30% of raw materials use 30% of waste output (136 million tons annually) 12% of potable water consumption

CLIMATE CHANGE

LANDSCAPE

Climate change is threatening the existence of the whole planet, it increases daily with the worst practices by human beings are undertaken worldwide, the ozone gab is increasing, the problem requires a rapid solution. Green buildings are implemented to reduce the negative impacts of the built environment and it can minimize the carbon effects that destroys the ozone layer. Green buildings can aid in decreasing the problems of climate change while it will also help the communities in having a better performing buildings that helps both people and the environment.

Using a specific type plantation and vegetation will affect many sustainable factors. Sustainable management to landscaping requires proper selection to the type of plants and well-locating to enhance the sustainable site design. native plants which are local and exist in the same region are always the best solution when selecting the type of plants as it will reduce water usage, requires less fertilization, no additional treatment required, and it will be adaptable to the surrounding environment and supporting to its eco-system.

Sustainability Concepts in Decision-Making

General Knowledge / Environmental Research

MATERIALS

WATER

The spaces and places that we live in which enables us to enjoy our living, are defined by the type of materials and structures used in their construction. From design to construction, the designer should fully understand the environment in which they are creating their structures and know exactly the cost, sizing and characteristics of the materials and structural elements that will be used in construction. The design should offer safe objects of long-term value, and to eliminate the concept of waste through reduction, even to consider the value of waste in producing new materials.

Could you imagine the amount of waste water that appliances discharge from our homes? Or even in commercial and retail buildings? The main reason behind this is the fixtures and appliances we use as most of it is not-efficient and uses a lot of water to do it’s process. Water conservation strategies can reduce the overall amount of consumption while using alternative water resources can even be used in some appliances and fixtures. Ex. Rainwater collected from roofs can be used to flush toilets and for landscape irrigation. 11 13 15

ENERGY

16 BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Another facet is the amount of energy used within our urban areas, buildings are using a HIgh amount of energy especially in operation and after occupation, and usually it’s spent in heating, cooling, lighting and ventilation.

It’s all the manmade surroundings that was created for human activities that differs from type, scale, identity and function. The built environment includes all the physical things constructed by humans as aids to living, it differs in size as it could be a building or a city, and it includes the infrastructure that provides service to the buildings. The built environment provides a lot of benefits to humans starting from housing, infrastructure, services and utilities, shading, roads and transportation routes and many more.

Ex. Designing the building with the appropriate orientation will reduce the amount of energy needed to cool or heat the building, as per the weather of the area.

General Knowledge / Environmental Research

ENCOURAGE BICYCLING There is no doubt that bicycling improves public health and encourages recreational physical activities. It also reduced the vehicle distance traveled and zero carbon emissions. To that, LEED awards project teams who include bicycling facilities in their building, connects the project to a current bicycle network, shower facilities for regular building users, and a designated bicycle storage in the building. . LEED also specified two bicycle storage types as per the needs of the occupants, a short-term storage for visitors and long-term storage for regular users of a building. For residential spaces, long-term storage must be provided .

Sustainable: to minimize energy consumption and improving ecosystems. . Economical: To save money from reducing the excessive energy used to illuminate the site. . Social: to avoid affecting people’s and animal’s health and to avoid any other ecological problems like night sky visibility. .

LIGHT POLLUTION REDUCTION

LIGHTING DESIGN

As a negative side-effect of urbanization, light pollution has emerged affecting health, disturbing ecosystems and leading to multiple problems that includes light trespass, over-illumination, glare, light clutter, and sky glow. Other problems include energy waste, affected human health and it can also affect astronomy. LEED encourages reducing light pollution to prevent all these problems.

Starting from the design, selecting energy efficient lighting fixtures can reduce a huge energy consumption. One of the best choices is to select a fully shielded fixture that will not send light directly at or above the horizontal limits of the fixture. LEED requires light fixtures that has a direct line of sight to any nonemergency luminaires to have shielding.

The temple is rectangular in form and measures 12.90 x 9.85 m; it is not aligned to the cardinal points. It is constructed of cut blocks of marble. On the inside, its floor is raised 120 cm above the exterior ground level of the site. Access is by a series of four steps carved into a built bench-like structure whose southeastern side faces the sunrise. The benchlike structure leads to the entrance to the temple that is flanked by two marble columns, the base of one of which is still in situ. The interior of the temple consists of two levels, the higher of which rises 30 cm above the lower level, which is rectangular in shape and comprises the heart of the temple. The floor of the temple has beenpaved with marble tiles, and we found graffiti and drawings etched into one of them.

Since the scale of the urban assemblers in this area is quite big, we wanted the buildings to introduce an urban-friendly scale, meaning that not only the users will enjoy the inner piazza within the project, but also pedestrians would take the short-cut and stroll through the project while going somewhere else. This idea was one of the generators of the design, and led to planning of the two buildings around a protected courtyard, which also connects between the school on its east side and the sports-center to its north.

Pedestrian Movement & Visual Communication

The design concept is to link three projects to a project and the mass were divided into three mass (community center - library - preschool ), where the nursery is near the school and linked directly to the library. The library is linked to the community center by a bridge and all of them have a flexible movement connection.

The most prominent feature of this project is how they dealt with pedestrian movement and their interaction with the surroundings by directing the building and creating a central void that was an external session with visual compliance with the library and the general center spaces and by the apparent extension or prominence in the external movement.

DESIGN

This idea was one of the generators of the design, and led to planning of the two buildings around a protected courtyard, which also connects between the school on its east side and the sports-center to its north.

CONNECTIVITY

Sustainability is of major importance in the project. The facades are treated with shading elements of bamboo profiles, and the courtyard is partly shaded throughout the year, while also being protected from street noise. The building is fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Its roof serves as a terrace which provides a separate access to the youth wing through a small bridge. The stairs climbing to the roof include seating areas, creating an intimate amphitheater space for small outdoor performances.

The project seeks to heal a wounded site and act as a symbol of community and solidarity for a society under reconstruction. The volume, positioned as a bracket on the internal margins of the site, functions as a program container and delimiter of the central square.

The construction system, formed by a grid of rigid concrete frames allows a free composition of open and closed spaces, configuring the areas for workshops, the library and municipality offices. The vacuum generated by the square protects users from climatic conditions and directly connects the proposal with its context.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

SITE

MASS

The land of the project is almost triangular in shape with three main ribs on the north-east, northwest and south sides with an area of 1250 square meters

Determining the south side is the best location for building the block as it responds best to solar radiation as it reduces the heat in the central courtyard and gives shadows in the corridors. The southern side is the area most exposed to sunlight.

Concept Design / Concept Development

VISUAL LINES

PLAZA

One of the design criteria is that it enhances walkability, which means that not only users will enjoy the inner courtyard within the project, but also pedestrians will take the shortcut and walk around the project while going elsewhere. This idea was a design generator, and led to the planning of the three buildings around a protected courtyard.

The winds blow northwest over the site most of the year. Wind simulation was used, and based on location data, since winds were crossing between buildings before reaching the site, there is a low pressure area on the northwest side. Therefore, the PLAZA district was located in the northwest side

USE OF BUILDINGS

FINAL RESULT

The uses of the three buildings were determined based on the needs of each building from the views and the optimal use of the site. The location of the library has been determined from the best views, the lobby, and its services as a clearance entrance and multi-use areas overlooking the northern and southern facades.

Determine the style of buildings according to their uses, as the library contains a special coverage system that follows the pattern of aluminum coverage and the height of the clerks is 6 meters in order to make the library comfortable, and the use of the lobby building and the multi-purpose building in a simplified way in the facade to give an appearance of a historical character and at the same time the library, lobby and Multipurpose building is the hallmark that gives harmony between past and present

MATERIALS

MARBLE

ALUMINIUM

STONE

Local marble was used in the facades of the community center, based on the availability of the material in the local environment, and marble is widely used in the historical architecture of the area (Aqua Kumi).

Aluminum is widely used in construction due to its intrinsic properties of lightness and corrosion resistance. Aluminum is used in exterior facades, ceilings and walls, windows and doors, stairs, railings, shelves, and many other applications. Aluminum was used in the facades of the library. .

A local type of stone was used from the surrounding environment of the project, which reduces the shipping cost and because the stone lasts longer and is more resistant to corrosion than mud and wooden beams, and is commonly used in the historical architecture of the region. (Temple Of Al-qusayr)
