ENERGY ANALYSIS
PROJECT BRIEF This is a bioclimatic improvement project of a given room to be converted into a thermally comfortable space. This is improved based on results of ladybug and honeybee simulation tool. throughout the course, the task was to try different parameters change for a constant room and check if it makes a significant improvement. Additionally, what design intervention improves the design and keeps developing according to the result until we reach a result that provides space comfortable most of the time of the year. In the case of this particular room, it is an apartment building with an opening in the south situated in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
CLIMATIC ANALYSIS Making openings in these sides would let the summer breeze in. but since from precipitation data, the summer rain rate is quite high so it should have some form of control. The sun path shows a huge impact on the southern facade throughout the day. From the universal thermal climate index calculation with the existing climate data, it is found that the comfortable condition under full shaded surface is nearly 41% while under radiation is 37%
Comfort Maximisation of an unconditioned space
BASELINE ANALYSIS Our subject to improve is an apartment room in Philadelphia County in Pennsylvania. The room is used as a living+office purpose. It is a rectangular room with an opening at the South Facade. This is the facade facing towards the “City View�. Opportunity: 1. A simple rectangular form that helps a good distribution of light with proper facade treatment. 2. Southern Facade promotes insertion of ample daylight and necessary radiation in the winter 3. Other surrounding apartments provide a good thermal mass at three sides of the room Challenge: 1. Diverse control needed throughout the year as the sunlight penetrates constantly in the southern facade. 2. Due to maintaining the city view from the room there is a design restriction of not changing the position and orientation of the facade.
BASELINE ANALYSIS To determine the cold hours where the sunradiation is necessary is identified. An Approximate condition of temperature under 18c and relative humidity over 80% and wind speed more than 1 m/s was selected under which condition it is definitely cold and uncomfortable. The sun positions of March, June,September and December at the times of 9am, 12pm and 3 pm were selected as baselines to study results. The resultant discomfortable cold hours show the month of November, December and January is more likely to be discomfortable in which the sun angle are equal to or under 36 degree. Therefore the if the shading depth and gap ratio is 10:6 or thr gap is higher it will receive necessary sun radiation in desired time.
BASELINE THERMAL COMFORT CONDITION Thermal Comfort is rarely achieved in the baseline condition both in the Summer and the winter. Comfortable Time Percentage: 2.123288 % Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 96.894977% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 0.981735 %
MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT
Since the southern exterior facade is the one receiving most of the solar gain and having the highest heat loss a higher R-value material of 0.44 with a nonmetal window was installed . The glass is of 0.6 visual transmittance The revised thermal comfort is, Comfortable Time Percentage: 9.828767% Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 87.705479% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 2.465753% As a result, there is a slight improvement of energy condition than the baseline condition
DESIGN IMPROVEMENT 1
DESIGN IMPROVEMENT 2
From the sun-path study, two horizontal shading devices cutting 36 solar angle was introduced.
In the morning and the evening hours the sunlight causes glare and visual difficulties therefore some vertical fins were introduced. Since the hroizontal shadings were mitigating the windowside glare more horizontal devices were introduced
From the annual sunpath analysis it is found that the lighting near the window is improved by nearly 10% still 1/3 of the area is comfortable only in the 30% time of the year. the last corners of the room is maintained which is a positive aspect to preserve for the furthur steps. Comfortable Time Percentage: 10.616438 % Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 86.79% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 2.59 %
As a result, the nearest daylighting to the window increased to nearly 60-80% time comfortable lighting level. The comfort condition improved because of the percentage of discomfort due to heat decreased Comfortable Time Percentage: 12.38 % Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 84.54% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 2.59 %
DESIGN IMPROVEMENT 3
VENTILATION
The shading device density is increased more with a couple more of trial and error basis. Daylight in the occupancy hours are now uniformly distributed all over the room. The maximum thermal efficiency achieved just by improvement of shading devices are as follows:
After the provisions adding adaptive comfort by natural ventilation the comfort level increased drastically.
Comfortable Time Percentage: 13.73 % Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 82.4% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 3.84 %
Comfortable Time Percentage: 57.1 % Percentage of time when occupants are too hot: 37.2% Percentage of time when occupants are too cold: 5.6 %
THERMAL COMFORT CONDITION: By adding the shading surface and ensuring the passive cooling by adding natural ventilation the room actually improved the thermal comfort level 67% of the time. It could Improve more if an hourly basis opening and closing window could be introduced to this design according to the energy model analysis comfort chart.
LIGHTING CONDITION: The daylighting grid based analysis shows lighting level of 300-2000 lux prevalent in most of the time with an uniform distribution. However, around the time December noon there is execessive light which was needed for reduction of cold. March noon has soem room for improvement yet through some refined properties of Shading like operable scheduled shading.
GLARE CONDITION The glare level is under 0.34 for almost 80% of the time which is in tolerable level of the whole year. Just the times around december 12pm to 3pm has direct radiation penetrating inside which could not be solved due to the need of radiation for cold

STUDIO MASTERS
Designing a cultural hub within one the most active city of Arizona was naturally directed with the cultural practice, the movement pattern, the festivities and the exploration of opportunity for expanding their cultural possibilities.
Parasol C h a uta uq u a
However, this cultural movement depends greatly upon the climatic restrictions. Therefore, if an area without this limitations can be designed it can work as a year-long active space. There lies the main essence of the "Parasol".
i nst .
T uc so n , A Z
Climate consideration for an outdoor-indoor experience was the basic concept of the design development of the Parasol; exploration of how an occupant would experience the outdoor as well as indoor space regardless of the time of the year. The main challenge was the extreme climate of the site which was to avoid the direct heat radiation. Strategies engendered by the radiation surface study, mass-program pattern then angles responding to solar radiation and finally, bioclimatic strategies to build a low impact example in the Tucson city.

CLIMATIC CONCLUSIONS: This studio was conducted by a three persons group where i was responsible for the basic climatic baseline creation through the logical calculations of the climatic condition of Tucson. Based on this initial logic and customized solar angles scale for this project I developed the shading system for maximum outdoor comfort for this climate. From the seasonal analysis, the radiation analysis and experimenting with a model shoe-box with its combinations of possibility it is evident that blocking solar radiation and heat stress ensures comfort most effectively. Along with that, the strategies based on high Diurnal differences became significantly effective.

Outdoor comfort design for festivals Despite of the intolerable heat stress of the summer period, Tucson is the city of hundreds of festivities. However, Tucson's outdoor life is mostly directed by its climatic conditions. Here, we overplayed the annual programs (picture 2) with the prevailing UTCI outdoor climatic conditions. Here the heat stress period is an obstacle to the cultural celebration times. However, if we shade the area (1st picture) it brings many potential comfortable times which may accommodate more festivities.
SPACE DIVISION BY ENERGY USE PATTERN Zones were divided according to thermal gain potential of site along with the energy usage patterns of each spaces.
OCCASIONAL CASES OF COLD STRESSES In the design it is considered the wall and roof are thermal masons as an ideal condition and the optimum window to wall ratio is 30% (in one analysis it is proved in this condition WWR 30% ensures almost equal comfort to 90% WWR under full shaded condition)
*Set Point -Thermal mass on the wall & the roof -WWR 30% (The south)
Due to shaded conditions, some time period of the year is getting cold stress especially in the interior zone. At this time it needs some solar radiations which leads to a second type of environment. Therefore the need of operable element arises

Shahbag, the site, is the place that defines the people of Dhaka. The revolutions, toward the independence of Bangladesh, started with the spark of the students here in Shahbag. This place holds the signature of the blood of millions by which the name of Bangladesh as a free country is written today. Amidst the university city area, it blends the ideology of the young generation with the ancient leaders who comes here to reminisce about the memory of their student life. The “street culture” is basically the sharing place of the experience of the older and ideas of the younger generation. Even from the geographical aspect, it is the connection point of traditional old Dhaka and the rising new Dhaka. So the area is keeping pace with future but celebrating the past. Lastly, it is beyond saying that the life of this place has given birth to many intellects and many leaders. Knowledge is celebrated here for years after years. Therefore, creating a library here is not to build something that was not here. The spirit is here already. The library should be the catalyst to celebrate the
1
ADJACENT SITE SPIRIT:
The site is a representative spot for unique style and subtle aristocracy of Dhaka urbanites; by being culturally most active spot and amidst of university zone apart from its historical significance. The site of the library has 1. the national museum at the north 2. first building pioneering modernism in the architecture of Bangladesh at the south 3. cultural vibrancy of street life of Shahbag all over it. The challenge is interpreting its existence but not to overpower other three factors.
WHERE OUR INTELLECTS ARE CELEBRATED
With this vibrancy, why being enclosed in a structure? Rather the idea was developed based on designing another street. Designing not a structure to store books but a street to share ideas.
CORE OF ALL OUR NATIONAL REVOLUTION
life of street tells about "LIFE OF CITY"

PEDESTRIAN FIRST:
To increase the public activities and pedestrians circulation, the vehicular road was reversed as the secondary circulation around the site while perforated paves for pedestrian being focused in design.
3
WHERE THE PUBLIC GATHER:
Making the library a spontaneous place to use was another challenge of this design. With surveys and morphological growths of pedestrians interest resulted in placing functions where people love to go and gather around(like auditorium, gallery, cafe, book club) placing parallelly to the main function, the library to grow a casual attitude towards library like rest of the functions.
4
PUBLIC’S SENSE OF SITE :
Not overpowering but featuring the icons adjacent to the site was a concern. Therefore, the functions near museum were sunken to clarify the view towards it.

As cafe is the most attractive spot to the pedestrians here it was set at the termination so that they walk all over the site to making the place uniformly vibrant.
By breaking the boundary, the active outdoor places vibe is brought inwards. A visually grand stair runs from the exterior to interior: the exterior stair part as the entry to the printed section while the interior part for the informal reading stair seating.
Creating visually attractive street theater backdrop, seen directly from the road. this place would be the spot for the traditional “pothonatto” (street theater activity by students).
To run the visual flow from pedestrian to above the library
MORE USED FUNCTIONS VISUALLY MORE ACCESSIBLE To activate the space more the more used functions are in visually more accessible and along the street of the building.

For a proper level of lighting to read, the southern facade was broken, creating surfaces facing towards the pocket green roofs in between. These are silent private reading spaces. the direct south facade is louvered for controlled daylighting.
An aperture opened towards the institute of fine arts (the first modernist building of Bangladesh representing local climate and culture). The lobby is made transparent so that the fine arts building is seen even from outside.
WALL OF FAME
When a person enters the lobby another attraction point set at the end of the building to drag them to public reading space; with a 15-meter wall of fame; engraved with writers and literature names that made our history of literature.

PLANTS AS DESIGN SOLUTIONS
Plant Type 1 Tall trees with pedestrian seating which shade the space but does not block the view of building from the road Local example: Gogon, Shirish, Shil Koroi Plant Type 2 In the less crowded spaces making a positive habitat for birds and squirrels by planting fruit-bearing trees Local example: Gamari, Shal, Khudijam Plant Type 3: In the public spaces small height seasonal blooming plants that give each season a dimension.

Dhaka, being the most demanding place to live in bangladesh, has become one of the most densely populated city. Therefore, there is a need for ensuring basic needs for the high population within the small amount of land. Our question actually goes beyond meeting this needs, it will be met by all designers but is the comfort of natural living being ensured here? probably in most cases, no. The goodness of a suburb life such as; a well-maintained environment condition, connection in the communities in small or large scale or get back to the touch of the earth should be the concern beyond; for the healthy growth of a population. Yes , the reality is we have to accommodate the dense mass but the challenge was taken in this design.

At -1' level parking with services like power substations, waste disposal unit, mechanical rooms etc are placed. this area acts as shaded entry/ exit are termination of vertical circulation which can be used as a vehicular road for cargo and emergency services. Open space is perceived in four layers 1. Green connection of site 2. Connection with plaza in each of them, four neighborhood 3. Vertical connections between community spaces 4. A piece of small earth for each living unit.
DESIGN OF A VERNACULAR RURAL MOSQUE G A Z I P U R
The purpose of a mosque goes way beyond a place for a specific religions worship in the village. It works as a daily social gathering space where the discussions, meeting and informal events take place in the village. Therefore people come to the mosque for a break from their hard-works. in this design, it was explored what is rational to fulfill this purpose rather than traditional form.

FUNCTION BASED DESIGN
While designing the concentration was the function not the traditional form.

CONCEPT OF MEDITATION
The concept of meditation; to gather scattered thoughts into one point to think deep through the concentrated mind
