IDeA STU ONCE UPON A STUDIO
DIO The IDea Studio is a studio pedagogy designed to bring together two core stakeholders of the built environment, the architects, and engineers, to resolve design problems with an integrated and thoughtful approach. Started in 2016 by Guillermo Guzman in the Department of Architecture at the University of Nottingham, the studio has had incredible success in helping architects and engineers interact and work with one another at an early stage of the design process. This gives them the tools to cooperatively resolve real-world design problems and develop teamworking skills that they can use in the real world. Not only is the IDeA Studio a blend of different minds, but it is also the blend of different cultures. In this year’s studio (2018) students from over 14 nationalities came together to work on the design task.
The proposals had to respond to a large number of requirements set by the organizers of the competition (Saint-Gobain) and the municipality of Dubai. The criteria were based on design aspects (geographical, spatial, functional, cultural), technical aspects (operational aspects of the building, structure, environmental strategies, use of ISOVER Saint-Gobain materials), and the communication strategy (presentation of the project, choice of drawings and 3D visualizations, graphics quality). The final outcome is a holistic approach to the task. The proposals are completely different but all respond to the requirements in their unique way. The first phase of the project saw all the MArch design students propose an initial design concept to the tutors and MSc engineering students. After the first phase of the project, every MSc student had to select a project that they wanted to work on based on their technical competence and what appealed to them the most. The ensuing design phase follows the architect and engineer working in tandem to develop the design concept. A system of design testing and results-based design iteration helped develop a cyclical process which helped refine the final design. Observe - Record - Propose - Refine - Edit

AL JADDAF
PROJECT INTRODUCTION As a result of globalization and increasing urbanization our cities are now larger than ever; both in terms of geographical sizes and population density. As a result, our energy consumption and CO2 emissions are also at an all-time high. In order to combat these issues, specific actions must be taken in terms of the way our cities and buildings are designed. Research has shown that the construction and building industry is responsible for little under half of the world’s total energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This demands a new approach to the way each and every project is being designed and also in the renovations of existing projects. Sustainable development of the cities is today a key question all over the world. Dubai With a population that increased 10 fold in the last 7 decades while the urban fabric has expanded 400 times in the same duration. Dubai is today one of the go-to cities when it comes to sustainability.
The task for the studio project is the development of a vision for a multicultural vibrant community development located in the Al Jaddaf area of Dubai as a part of the Dubai Culture Village. The goal is to create a sustainable architectural language integrated into the urban fabric while responding to international sustainability criteria and taking into account the climatic conditions and regional aspect of the site and of Dubai. The design should be sustainable, innovative and help in progressing the sustainable initiative of the city. Apart from construction, the socio-economic aspects of the city must also be considered and the proposed solution should rejuvenate the site area The Site Located in the old shipbuilding yards of Dubai, Al Jaddaf is a historically and geographically significant location being located at the creek front of the Dubai creek leading into Dubai. The site is located within Dubai Culture Village phase II.

THE HUB Victor Catrib, Jorge Calderón Concept Dubai is well known for being a multi-cultural hub, gathering cultures from all over the world and different backgrounds. Based on this concept, we tried to create a space that would embrace all features of Dubai – commerce, arts, and culture. The Hub was designed based on the state-of-the-art sustainability strategies, unique architecture and livable common areas. The main feature of the project was the integration of residential areas, commercial areas, as a dedicated artists place, also adding value to the preexisting historical site. This way was possible to integrate public areas, commercial, residential and culture in an all-in-one symbol of Dubai multiculturalism.

MIRAGE Mariana Boughaba, Min Xie Concept The concept of the project emerged from the idea of creating a central recreational space for the community. Taking inspiration from the creek itself, the main walkway elegantly etches the landscape, and at one point in the middle creates a node, serving as the heart of the community gathered around it. And so the buildings emerged through podiums that rise from the ground, reaching the maximum height around the center then go back down to the ground floor level. Even in the middle of the day, when the sun is at its peak, people can still enjoy outdoor activities, and that’s benefited from the natural shading created by the buildings along the pedestrian crack, passively regulating the temperature of the central space.

Engineering Concept Several passive strategies have been implemented in the project. The layout of the buildings has been carefully designed to provide natural shading for the main walkway. Moreover, extended eaves and balconies as well as mashrabiya shading panels have been used to limit the exposure of the facade to direct sunlight. Finally, inner voids in the buildings help promote stack ventilation.

THE PEARL Doychin Tashev, Yinyan Lyu Concept The main concept of this project is to create luxurious narrow street spaces, accommodating the busy vibrant night-life of Dubai, through a mixed-use complex of buildings, shaded by steel domes consisting of several overlayed layers. Underground green spaces are defined as the social interaction points, which are going to be passively cooled by a modern technology windcatcher facility. Traditional architectural Arabic elements have informed the process of design, while the dome and facade play a major key in terms of providing a passive strategy for reducing the heat gains in the hot and humid climate. The project has been also heavily informed by the wind intervention that affects the site.

Engineering Concept A huge part of the sustainable ideas evolves around, using the present resources in close proximity to the site which is indeed the creek water. The water is going to be used to cool down the captured air the modern technology wind towers and dropping down to provide comfort for the inhabitants of the complex. Secondly, the solar PV panels placed on the rooftop of the building masses will collect the solar energy and store in a Tesla battery, which will, later on, be used to power all of the interior spaces with self-generated electricity, therefore, providing another sustainable solution to the project.

SAR-AL-JADDAF Swathi Suman, Sotiria Papaisidorou
Concept This project is named “Sar-Al-Jaddaf” meaning the “Delight of Al Jaddaf” or the “Breeze of Al Jaddaf” since the wind plays the protagonist in the design of this multi-cultural hub. The complex has a central piazza of winds which is a public space dominated by wind towers which, along with ventilation, also act as exhibition spaces, add sculptural beauty to the piazza and extend to form a perfectly shaded space. The complex is also designed to provide maximum self-shading and maximum view to the picturesque creek. Designed for energy efficiency, the complex gives full regard to integrating aesthetic elements with functionality.

Engineering Concept The solar study revealed that the South and west facades were prone to overheating almost throughout the year. To protect from solar gain without restraining ventilation, manually operable louvers were provided on these facades. Inspired from David Nightingale’s building “Luminosity”, the louvers would open differently on each façade to provide the right shading.

SOUQ AL JADDAF Anas Hassan, Sanjay Somanath Concept When you drive around Dubai or even walk through it there is very little to appreciate at eye level, the aim of the project was to bring Dubai back down into the human scale. And to explore the traditional vernacular that the city had to offer. Not just exploring it in the visually but spatially. Apart from the functional aspect of self-shading, the streets offer a qualitative aspect to space. A sense of adventure and not knowing what may present itself at the end of the street but at the same time have a monumental landmark to orient you in the right direction.

Engineering Concept Drawing inspiration from the wind towers at Al Masdar Institute within Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, the wind towers have been designed with maximum passive strategies. The water tanks are placed overhead at a height of 25 to 30 meters. These tanks are semi-open with louvers above the water line to keep the water cool. This is then sprayed downwards using a misting device. A large fin redirects the wind downwards cooling it in the process. To combat the privacy issues a triangular window shape was developed that staggers the views and offset them from each residence hence maintaining perfect views without compromising privacy. This design also increases the overall directions that the window can let light into the building by introducing a glazing element from the top. This design proved to allow more light into space than the generic sliding window. As mentioned before, the vernacular of Dubai dictated most of the design decisions in this for the development process. In addition to this, a few concepts were borrowed from other vernacular designs such as that from Mediterranean towns with hot and humid climate.

GREENECTION Xiaohui Hu, Xuan Wu Concept The idea of this project came about after the need for delivering green enjoyable outdoor spaces was established as a major drive, leading the design team. The goal - to provide a connection which not only connects people and spaces but also connects art and culture between Dubai and the World. Traditional cultural elements and passive and active building systems have not been left short in the final outcome of the product.

CREEK VILLAGE Talha Muhammad Tayyab, Xinpeng Li
Concept The primary concept was to develop multiple adjacent buildings that shaded each other and the ground beneath them by each building having an inverted-pyramid form. The buildings are placed on the perimeter of the site to shelter the open ground access routes that encompass the central covered courtyard space. The courtyard houses galleries and exhibition areas for artists to showcase their work. Narrow spaces between the buildings act as wind channels, channeling cool sea breezes through them. The buildings facing the creek are suspended on stilts, allowing views towards the creek and enabling the creek wind to flow beneath them and into the heart of the site. The site land mass is sculpted into soft ramps interconnecting the various site levels. The site levels and building heights are lowest at the creek and get higher towards the opposite site edge.

Energy Performance
Engineering Concept The primary cooling methodology is District Cooling used in conjunction with Variable Air Volume (VAV) air handling system to optimise air conditioning performance. There are three main advantages of VAV over a Constant Air Volume (CAV) system. The first is energy savings. VAV systems reduced the energy consumption of system fans because they have variable speed drives and do not always operate on maximum speed. VAV also modulates the cooling behaviour of the compressor which leads to further energy savings. The second advantage is precise temperature control by varying fan speeds and coolant flow instead of simply turning the compressor on and off. This keeps the room temperature at the desired temperature with more precision than CAV systems. The third advantage is greater dehumidification. As the VAV system reduces the rate of air flow according to the parameters, the air gets longer exposure to the cooling coils. This leads to increased moisture condensation on the coils leading to greater dehumidification. This is especially helpful in the humid conditions of Dubai.

Engineering Concept The main cooling strategy, uses water from deeper layers of the creek where the temperature is lower than the surface. Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment. The collected water is used to create a mist effect and drop the temperature of the hot air which is extracted from outside, allowing for the cool air to provide fresh air for the residents of the multicultural hub.

GARDEN-PATH VILLAGE Wenhui Wang, Yingqi Wang Concept With the increasing demand for residential space in the center of the city, the development of urban housing is facing new problems. The present housing services cannot meet the material and spiritual needs of people for survival and development. Especially the contradiction between high-density buildings and the need of intimate scale and gardens are waiting for an effective solution. What we want to achieve here is a sense of living in elevation but without losing the intimate scale and gardens.

Engineering Concept The original plan takes into account the beauty of the room layout, and the corridor becomes an open space. This increases the heat exchange of air through the wall and outdoor air in the room. This situation will increase the cooling load of air conditioners and will consume more energy. By adjusting the location of the room, the corridor will be closed and the air from the corridor will be cooled by the cold return air from the room. For the whole building, the tower is not suitable for this building because of its high building and complex distribution of ventilation ducts. But the working principle of the wind tower provides another way of thinking. The ground floor of the building is open space, and a landscaped pool is set up in the center of the ground floor. Wind is collected through the bottom of the building, the air is cooled by water in the pool and sent into the house through the water in the landscaped pool, and in the corridor and the middle hall. In the atrium, the hot air rises and goes outside. Through calculation, the software gives the building energy consumption in one year. As a result, the largest proportion of the proportion is space cooling, which is 34.5%. The energy consumption of space cooling is 50.70KWh/m2/yr. The annual space heating is 0.444KWh/m2/yr.

EVOLVING NEURONS Bangqi Deng,Hongji Yang Concept The area designed this time is a very central place in the area of Creek. It is directly on the canal, and on the other side of the canal is the famous festival city. Therefore, in terms of design, we need not only to seek the practicality of residential buildings but also to pursue the architectural landscape, making this design a dazzling landmark on the banks of the Creek. And I hope the whole region is more like a flexible community that can communicate with each other, not just a single-family residential building. It has its own complete, multi-functional cells like neurons, and at the same time, it is highly interactive.

Engineering Concept The building uses natural ventilation for cooling but for this, the out door air should be cooled down before it gets into the building due to the high ambient heat in Dubai. The cold source we chose here is a water-based heat pump. A water-based heat pump is a system that can remove the heat in the building to the water near the building. Comparing to the air conditioner we use normally the efficiency of the water-based heat pump is much higher.

PEARL ON SHORE Ruimin Wang, Lincheng Li Concept The design was inspired by the coast of the base and the fishing culture of Dubai. Referring to shells and water as the basic design elements of this project. It is to create the idea of ‘pearls on the shore’. Seawater is the main element on the site, and the architectural form based on shells; which the ‘sea’ represents tolerance, the ‘shell’ carries the pearl, and the residents who live inside is the real wealth of the base. In this project, ‘green bridge’ is throughout the site. It is the main path of the site, which links with the sports area of the site and the library near the place, while the buildings all sitting on the two sides of the bridge. The aim of this project is by using sustainable building technology and building shape design to create a multi-comfort zone in Dubai.

In order to deal with the extremely hot climate conditions, the design pays attention to human comforts of which the main solution is using the shadow, so it makes the public space inside and under the building rather than outside with several technologies to make it sustainable. Besides the main atrium as the public space for citizens to relax, each apartment also has a green garden for comforting. In addition, there are some considerations about the local elements such as mashrabiya.

THE JOURNEY Amrutha Kishor, Sara Abouebeid Concept The Emirati culture is primarily influenced by the religion of Islam, which is the predominant religion of the region. This is a defining aspect of the culture and the tradition of the Emirati people. In Islam, Life is a journey with a purposeful destination which is heaven; in order to reach the ultimate destination, one must traverse through the seven layers of skies. The project ‘The Journey’ ( or ‘Al Rehla’ in Arabic) is the physical embodiment of this concept. Heaven or the ‘ultimate destination‘ is interpreted in three ways; it is the destination can choose for themselves such as: being close to nature (The Creek), enjoying their own privacy in the comfort of their homes or experiencing public life and interacting amongst others. These destinations can be reached in multi-directional ways

The steel structure has thermal breaks in between the internal and external members to prevent the high outdoor temperatures from being transmitted indoors. The same is achieved by thermal insulation and air cavities in the external walls. Most of the residences are thin in the plan to ensure maximum daylighting and ventilation. In areas where this is not possible, ducts have been introduced. An active greywater recycling system is not only used for irrigation and flushing but is also chilled and circulated in between the floors to ensure comfortable conditions for all users.

HARBOUR SANCTUARY Yifang Zheng, Yixi Gao Concept The proposal aims to inclusively accommodate sojourning families, young professionals, and artists whilst providing urban excitements for tourism in Dubai. The self-shading strategy nurtures the active public realm along the edges of buildings. The shaded semi-underground entrance not only reinforces the cooling effect but also conveys a welcoming atmosphere towards the waterfront promenade. The landscaping waterfalls and fountains interspersed within the whole site couple up with the district seawater cooling system to enhance the thermal comfort. Whilst the commercial areas, underground arts display and parts of the bridge are open to the public, several community places for residents are vertically allocated throughout the buildings. The waterfront areas include wide-ranging amenities accessible for people of all age. These together compliment the spirit of The Harbour Sanctuary.

THE HARBOUR Shayeeka B Alam, Rutuja More Concept The harsh climate of Dubai makes it almost impossible to have interactive outdoor spaces which are necessary for creating this lively atmosphere. With the provision of shaded connecting platforms between the buildings, converting the outdoors in the indoors has been possible. The development of the walkway along the promenade encourages the footfall in the building complex, thus giving it a different character than a standard residential project. The use of building technology and materials from ISOVER/ Saint Gobain has made it possible to achieve the environmental strategies necessary to make the spaces comfortable for human activities.

Daylighting Strategies
Seasonal Strategies
Systems The roof is the most exposed and vulnerable to solar gains thus to avoid it, the main cooling strategy, is a technology wherein bags filled with cold water are placed in insulation panels which are then covered with the required roofing material, above the roof slab. This helps in the direct transfer of heat gained through the roof to the interior spaces and instead cools the roof due to the cold water content in it.

JADDAF OASIS Nur Mizraty, Zhongyi Zhang Concept Oasis is presented in this building to provide attractive and dynamic atmosphere. The integrated among building, man, and nature is shown by the form of building, function, circulation, open space, and the building system. The building’s skin is entirely covered, but all parts are not in touching with the ground. As the result, a giant structure is used for hanging at the top. The structure of the entire epidermis also forms an integral whole with the interior floor and the frame. Therefore, the design and the structure of the façade represent an overall system. The double skin is not only designed for the beautiful shape. It is considered how to use external skin to improve the internal thermal environment due to the hot weather in Dubai. Thereby, the envelope can be effectively reduce the heat.

Solar Analysis Based on the simulation about the temperature and the wind velocity with several cases, it shows the application of green wall can reduce the temperature inside the building. The temperature of green wall is lower than the ambient temperature because of the effect of vegetation. The higher temperature just reaches until 34 C deg (307 k). This is quite low temperature compared to the other scenarios. This is also the effect of wind flow through the vegetation before coming into the building. According to the velocity magnitude vector (see in the next page) it shows the wind flow through the double faรงade and bring the lower temperature to inside the building.

KHIMAR AL JADDAF Hitesh M Gabra, Soudamini K L Concept The development integrates the cultural and environmental factors to satisfy the functional and spatial needs of the proposal. ‘Khimar Al Jaddaf’, which means veil of Al jaddaf, is a cultural hub proposed in the cultural village of Al Jaddaf opposite to the Dubai festival grounds. The veil protects the cultural outdoor spaces from the harsh sunlight and cools down the microclimate temperature. The veil is conceptualized as a protective canopy which runs in between the residential buildings and over the podium, view deck and the amphitheater. The vernacular features play a role disguised in contemporary design massing. The materiality reflects the modern structures in terms of the context with comfortable indoor and outdoor climates.

Engineering Concept The interior spaces are cooled by passive strategies like cross ventilation, and active strategies like underwater geothermal loop system is used. The open spaces are cooled by evaporative cooling using the water body proposed in the development. The green terraces also contribute to the cooling of the spaces. The top most roofs can also be treated with the green roof technology, to contribute to the reduction of cooling demands.

THE PALETTE Jacod Langford, Veronica Rodrigues, Fatima Bintube
Concept The philosophical concept of The Palette is a deep focus on the artists residing at the site. Their workshops take pride of place on the ground floor of the residential buildings, along one of the main walkways through the site. The idea was for the process of the artists creating their work to become an attraction in itself, surrounding cafés and restaurants further encourage visitors to linger in the area. The project is named ‘The Palette’ in reference to a painter’s paint palette, this is reflected in the abundant and colorful shading used throughout the site. A large gallery space has been designed as a central hub for all forms of art; from paintings and sculpture to music and performance.
