THE PROJECT OPEN SQUARE IS A DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW HIGHSCHOOL CENTRALISED IN CAMPERDOWN. THE DESIGN IS FOCUSSED PRIMARILY ON THE STUDENTS’ HEALTH IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUSTAINABILITY AND DESIGN. THE PROPOSAL UTILISES CIRCULATION TO ENCOURAGE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND THE USE OF CLEARLY VISIBLE STAIRS. THE DESIGN OF THE ROOF TOP GARDEN FURTHER PROMOTES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDOWS CHOSEN WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE SHADING DEVICES DELIBERATELY CHOSEN TO ENHANCE NATURAL DAYLIGHTING AND MAINTAIN HEAT CONTROL WITHIN THE ROOMS, TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ HEALTH AND COMFORT. THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ROOMS ARE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL, AND PROMOTE FLEXIBLE LEARNING SPACES AND DIFFERENT STYLES TO STIMULATE STUDENTS TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AND LEARNING.

OPEN SQUARE is a high school designed to prioritise students’ health and based and suited in Camperdown, NSW. This project carefully onsiders the health impacts on users, sustainablity as well as its design. The aim of the school is to provide a successfully functioning high school for up to 1000 students, to provide space for the community to benefit from,

to implement

passive design strategies for improved health and sustainability and to develop flexible spaces to cater for future repurposing. With all this in mind, the design of the school undoubtedly promotes students’ health through the use of sustainable practices, passive design strategies and design of the overall structure.

SITE ANALYSIS Located in Camperdown, NSW, 4km south-west of Sydney CBD, the proposed site is to be developed into a local public high school. As shown through the site analysis, it is evident that there is a lack of high schools in comparison to primary schools within the near vicinity. Furthermore, an additional high school in the area will cater for those currently in primary school to transition into. The site is conveniently located near 2 train stations, Stanmore and Newtown Station, in under 15 minutes walk away, and a few bus routes, making it easy for students to access.

The site is located in Inner West Sydney, Camperdown, surrounded by medium to low density residential buildings and homes enclosed between a busy highway and quiet lanes. O’dea Reserve is located directly south of the site, it was the site of a former velodrome, but is currently a reserve with a fenced area available for leashfree dog activities. Its facilities include playground, bbq and picnic area, commercial fitness training permitted and off the leash permitted.it is a fairly quiet reserve with the occasional user.1 A variety mixed use 2-3 storey high commericial and residential buildings trace the Great Western Hwy, located north of the site. The Great Western Hwy is very busy and noisy with bus lanes allocated in both directions of traffic. a 4 storey apartment building is located directly north of the site on Kilner Lane.

PROGRESS

The primary aim for the high school was to focus on improving student’s health in terms of physical and mental health through the design and use of passive design strategies.

My intial idea for the design was to focus on circulation. The development of the circulation path is shown from left to right.

From left: 1. Dimensions of the overall given site was drawn up. Blocks were placed and orientated based on the site analysis, such as privacy, noise pollution and sun analysis.

2. Refined the drawing, with a central social space.

3. Broke up the building into blocks for functions and to visualise the circulation around the spaces.

4. Refined the “cube� idea and allocated labels to spaces.

Arrangement of buildings with to scale dimension and areas.

Developed a “cluster-like� building form as it creates an interesting form to intrigue students to investigate and encourage circulation and physical activity.

1. Green Roof Detailed Drawing Using a high density green roof on Block A, provides a passive cooling system to the building. It is both energy and environmental beneficial. When vegetation density is high, the incoming heat into the building through the roof is 60% lower than the incoming heat without vegetation. The use of a green roof is a sustainable method to reduce mechanical heating and cooling through passively cooling the building, by reducing the stress on the roof surface and increasing their life, improving thermal comfort and reducing noise transmission inside the building, reducing the urban heat island effect, reducing storm water runoff, re-oxygenating the air and removing airborne toxins, recycling nutrients, and providing habitat for living organisms, all of this while creating peaceful environments. The implementation of the green roof is also beneficial to teach students about sustainable design and the roof can be used to also as a teaching aid in science or food technology. The green roof also has positive health benefits,more than just helping to provide a comfortable learning space. Looking out into a green space has been proven to help reduce stress (mental health) and also provide cleaner air (physical health). Green roofs have also been proven to reduce sickness because it reduces the fluctuation of daily mean temperatures of the building, and/or the vegetation helped cool and moisturise in-going air near ventilation ducts. Furthermore, the accessible green roof is open during lunch time to encourage students’ circulation and on the weekends, to benefit community users.

2. Louvre Window Detailed Drawing A narrow window with louvres used in passive design strategy for controlled ventilation and sunlighting strategy. This window is primarily placed adjacent and higher up across lower body level height windows to use cross ventilation strategy in classrooms.

It is mostly used on the eastern facade, or on facades facing the playground so that students can not directly look outside of the classroom and be distracted.

3. Hollowcore Detailed Drawing Hollowcore slabs aim at enlarging the heat transfer surface between the slab mass and the air in the core, which permits substantial heat flows even for relatively small temperature differences. Hence, this allows the use of low energy cooling or heating sources, such as the ground, outside air or recovered process heat. Hollowcore is beneficial in leveling the indoor temperature fluctuation by ventilation air passing

THE SITE 103 ALICE STREET, NEWTOWN, WAS ASSIGNED TO UNDERGO ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS, FOLLOWING COUNCIL REGULATIONS AND USING THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PROCESS. MY PROPOSED DESIGN FULFILLS THE CLIENTS REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS MEETING DA REQUIREMENTS. THE CLIENT CONSISTS OF A YOUNG FAMILY WITH TWO CHILDREN, AND WANTED TO BRING MORE SUNLIGHT INTO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. DUE TO THE NARROW RESTRICTIONS OF THE SITE, THE DESIGN PROPOSES A LIGHT WELL INTO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND WINDOWS IN THE CONCAVED PART OF THE BACK WALL, TO MEET REQUIREMENTS AND BRING NATURAL LIGHTING INTO THE HOME. THE PLANTS CHOSEN FOR THE LANDSCAPING ARE SUITABLE FOR THE SITE AND THE ORIENTATION OF WINDOWS BENEFITTED THE HOME’S COMFORT AND NEIGHBOURS’ PRIVACY.

OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES THE ‘HALL OF CELEBRATION’ IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AS A FUNCTION HALL TO CAPTURE MOMENTS IN FRONT OF THE PARRAMATTA RIVER. THE HALL IS TO PRIMARILY USED FOR WEDDINGS AND BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AS IT PROVIDES A SPACE FOR EVENT SPACE AND A SERVICE AREA. THE USERS OF THE HALL ARE TARGETTED TOWARDS YOUNGER FAMILIES AS THE GENERAL POPULATION USING TH EXISTING CABARITA PARK. THE POSITION OF THE HALL WAS CHOSEN DUE TO ITS LOCATION NEAR CONVENIENT PARKING SPOTS, SLIGHT SHADE FROM TREES, MINIMAL INVASION TO EXISTING HABITATS, AND ITS VIEWS. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL INDOOR ROOM FACILITY AVAILABLE ON THE SITE, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE WATER FRONT VIEWS AND IS PRIMARILY COVERED WITH LARGE SHADEY TREES. THUS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDE A LARGER VENUE TO CATER FOR A BIGGER CROWD.

THE AIM OF THIS HALL IS TO PROVIDE A HALL THAT ALLOW MAXIMISE SUNLIGHT DURING WINTER WHILE MINIMISING IT DURING SUMMER,SPECIFICA.LY THE WESTERN SUN. ANOTHER OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A HALL THAT MAXIMISES PSSIVE DESIGN STRATERGIES INCLUDING NATRUAL VENTILATION. IN RELATION TO MATERIALS THE AIM IS TO SELECT THEM THAT HAS HIGH PERFORMING THERMAL MASS SUCH AS BRICK AND EARTH TO RETAIN ENERGY DURING WINTER.

THE PITCHED ROOF DESIGN LEADS WATER TO FLOW TO THE GUTTERS AND REDUCES THE CHANCE OF FLOODING. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PLACEMENT OF WATER TANKS FOR THE HALL TO BE CONNECTED WITH OTHER BUILDINGS ON SITE. HERE THE WATER WILL RUN FROM THE GUTTERS AND INTO THE WATER TANK, BEFORE IT IS FILTERED AND ENTERED BACK INTO THE BUILDING. PAGE 1

THE EXISTING PARK HAS EXISTING PLAYGROUNDS, FUNCTION SPACES AND RECREATIONAL AREAS SUCH AS PICNIC AREAS, SWIMMING POOL AND A SMALL EVENT ROOM. IT IS OFTEN OCCUPIED BY A VARIETY OF FAMILIES UTILISING ALL ASPECTS OF THE PARK FROM BBQ AREAS, PLAYGROUNDS AND WALK AROUND THE WATERFRONT. ITS CONVENIENTLY ACCESSED WITH MANY PARKING AREAS IN AND OUT OF THE PARK. IT HAS A STRONG ACCESS POINT TO FARRY AND BUS ROUTES. IMMEDIATELY SOUTH-WEST TO SOUTH-EAST OF THE PARK THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL HOUSING, THUS A NEW “HALL OF CELEBRATION” SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED IN CLOSE RANGE OF THEM. THERE IS HIGH VEGETATION ON WITHIN THE SITE FILLED WITH TREES SUCH AS GUMTREES. THIS IS BENEFITCAL WHEN DESIGNING THE BUILDING AS THE TREES CAN ASSIST WITH SHADING THE WESTERN FACADE. THE WEST SIDE OF THE SIDE (PASS THE ROUND-ABOUT) IS THAT IT IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REHABILITATION, THUS IT MUST BE LEFT UNTOUCHED. CIRCULATION IS HIGH THROUGHOUT THE SITE. THE PROPOSED AREA IS HIHGLY USED FOR PICNICS. THE MAIN NOISE SOURCE IS FROM THE RIVER. THIS DOES NOT HEAVILY IMPACT THE BUILDING AS THE RIVER IS A KEY FEATURE/ATTRACTION.THE SITE HAS MANY BIRDS SUCH AS SEAGULLS. THERE LANDSCAPE SLOPE FALLS TO THE WATER.ONE POTENTIAL ISSUE IS THE GLARE FROMTHE RIVER REFLECTING INTO THE PROPOSED HALL. THUS HORIZONTAL SHADING IS INSTALLED.

THE MATERIALS ALLOCATED CAN RETAIN HEAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY BY USING THE BRICK WALL AND RELEASE THE HEAT AT NIGHT. POSITIONING OF THE INLETS AND OUTLETS ARE IMPORTANT TO NOTE AS THEY CAN BE OPENED OR CLOSED DEPENDING ON THE NEED FOR VENTILATION.

STRATERGIES: SUNLIGHT AND SHADING: TO MINIMISE SUNLIGHT DURING SUMMER HORIZONTAL SLIDING DOORS HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE EXTRIOR OF THE BUILDING (NORTH AND WEST) IN ADDITION TO GLASS SLIDING DOORS. THE WALL TO WINDOW RATIO ON THE NORTH FACADE IS LESS THAN HALF SUCH THAT IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT AND RADIATION ENTERING. AS SEEN FROM THE DIAGRAMS THE EXTENDED CANTERLEVER PROVIDES SUFFICENT SHADING. OVERALL OUR BUILDING IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE SITE AS THE PROPOSED AREA IS A HIGHLY USED AREA WITH OPPORTUNITY IN TERMS OF CREATING A SITE WITH FULL SHADING. THE CURRENT EVENT HALL IS HIGHLY USED AND OFTEN BOOKED. OUR HALL PROVIDES A HIGHER CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SEA SOUND WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED THEAPUTIC AND SACRED. PAGE 4

LOW E GLASS IS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD TO ALLOW HEAT TO PENETRATE WHILST KEEPING THE HEAT IN DURING WINTER. THE THERMAL BREAK ACTS AS A BARRIER TO PREVENT FLOW OF THERMAL ENERGY FROM THE CONDUCTIVE ALUMINIUM WINDOW FRAME. DOUBLE PANE IS AN EFFECTIVE INSULATING AIR POCKET IN HEAT TRANSFER.

BASED ON THE LOCATION, SITUATED IN A MODERATE AND TEMPERATE CLIMATE WITH MINIMAL EXTREME WEATHER CONDITION THIS WALL IS SUITABLE. HERE, THE TOTAL R-VALUE IS 2.8R VALUE WHICH HAS PROVEN IN REDUCING ENERGY EXEXERTING FROM INSIDE TO OUT.

HERE THERMAL MASS (BRICK) IS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. WHEN COMBINED WITH INSULATION AND WOODEN CLADDING IT CONTRIBUTES TO USER COMFORT AS IT STORES HEAT INSIDE FOR WINTER FROM THE BULK INSULATION. AT NIGHT WINDOWS CAN BE OPENED ALLOWING NIGHT FLUSH AS SHOWN IN DIAGRAMS ON PAGE 5.

ROOF SYSTEM: ALL ROOFING SYSTEM CAN BE TRANSPORTED VIA TRUCK AND SONTRUCTRED ON SITE. AS SEEN IN THE SITE ANALYSIS ACCESSABILITY IS HIGH. TO MINIMISE WASTE WE USED THEIR PREFABICATED AND STANDARD DEMENSION FOR THE PANELS.

THE BALUSTRADE CAN BE MOSTLY PREFABRICATED TO REDUCE TIME FOR ON SITE CONSTRUCTION.

CEDAR WOOD: CEDAR WOOD WAS CHOSEN THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING INCLUDING THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STRUCTURE FOR ITS SUSTAINABILITY. THROUGHOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF MATERIALS WOOD IS EASIER TO RECYCLE THAN STEEL AND OTHER METALS. IT ALSO USES APPROX 11MJ/KG PER EMBODIED ENERGY COMPARED TO ALUMINIUM: 170MJ/KG. HOWEVER, THE LIFECYCLE OF ALUMINIUM IS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER.

WALL SYSTEM: SIMILAR TO THE ROOF, THE BRICKS, CONCRETE AND CLADDING CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON SITE. FLOOR SYSTEM: THE DECKING, JOIST, UB AND TENSION & COMPRESSION CABLE CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON SITE. THE UB AND STEEL POST ARE STABLED WITH CROSS BRACING.

CONSTRUCTION NEEDS TO HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON NOISE. THE MAJORITY OF THE MATERIALS WERE CHOSEN BASED ON SUSTAINABILITY IN RELATION TO LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT. THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A WATER TANK TO BE INSTALLED AT THE SOUTH END OF THE BUILDING WHERE THE GUTTER IS. THIS WILL ALLOW RECYCLABLE WATER TO BE REUSED. (SHOWN IN DIAGRAM PAGE 1)

SEFAIRA Here, the pie chart and the table shows the progression of the design. We experimented with materials and U values to achieve the most efficient and successful current result. To create an effective passive design for the residence on our site, many factors were vital to be taken into consideration when allocating specific materials such as double glass low-e windows and double brick walls.

ORIGINAL PASSIVE DESIGN STRATEGIES OUTPUT

NEW SUSTAINABLE DESIGN OUTPUT Here, the quantity of the building heated up was able to be reduced by 22% using natural ventilation, windows open during operational hours and using a rotated brick design.

Natural ventilation was also increased (as shown in the ventilation diagram below), hence, reducing the energy spent on artificial cooling within the residence. There are approximately 8760 hours in a year, where we have achieved 6232 hours (71.1%) of thermal comfort throughout the year.

On the other hand, in summer, Low-e glass can reduce heat flow into the building. The thermal break acts as a barrier to prevent flow of thermal energy from the conductive aluminium window frame. Using double pane glass is energy efficient as the insulating air pocket inhibits heat transfer.

BRICK TIE

Initially, our process included five variations of the brick facade. Each facade varied in the angle of the brick layout, which in turn results in variation of shading and sunlight upon the facade, as shown through our shadow analysis. The final choice was based upon primarily its heating and cooling affect upon our residential apartment.

Shown in the diagram, the final brick layout provides sufficient heating during winter through the exposed brick, and provides less cooling during summer. However, despite the reduced cooling effect provided by the facade during summer, it is accounted for by the passive cooling strategies incooporated in the design. Hence, overall, the brick layout chosen is an effective method which works well with the existing passive design strategies.

Our final design casts more shadows than the other designs; thus, there is more solar radiation for natural heating rather than utilising artificial sources of heating.

20MM AIR CAVITY

Dark coloured slated bricks have a higher absorbency rate for solar radiation than lighter coloured bricks. Our dark grey coloured bricks were chosen to increase natural heating from sunlight and reduce excessive energy use to heat up the building during winter. In summer, passive design strategies such as the stacking effect, cross ventilation and night purging have been incoorporated to counteract against the absorption of heat from the dark coloured bricks. Hence, the choice of dark coloured bricks effectively works cohesively with existing passive strategies.

CONCRETE SLAB

This algorithmic script was used to analysis sun radiation for the brick. Due to some difficulties results were inconclusive.

They can slide a connection on the roof and the floor. They can be manipulated such that the coverage from the sun is projected to the users liking. In addition, they are able to be rotated such that the wood is facing the sun as the colour of it can absorb heat during winter, while the white plastic lumber can reflect.

COMMENTS Internal noise sources include noise from user’s activities within the space. The main external sources are from vehicle traffic on the roads, foot traffic and slight noise from the neighbouring buildings.

Based on our site analysis, our sound analysis ranges from 55 - 60dB, with the highest dB facing towards Abercrombie Street. The Low-E Double Pane Glass Sliding Windows (4/12/4mm) has an RW rating 32, and 0C;-2 CTR. Since bedrooms, the quietest and most private space of a residence requires 30 dB; thus, the choice of window is effective to reduce noise pollution into the house and meets the requirement Internal single brick wall with 13mm Gyprock Standard Plasterboard results in 56 Rw.
