P R S E D E N T ST U D I E S : LEGO House by BIG Architects

The Lego house that was created by BIG Architects focuses more on their philosophy through innovation and creativity, that’s how in my opinion the link between the building and the idea behind it. Within my building, I’m having 5 different green colored concrete to compliment the landscape that is Greenwich. This then creates a mistic feel between the building and the landscape .

Hyunje Joo’s design for a façade in South Korea is a proposal that addresses the separation between the interior and exterior with the construction of a flexible, light, and recyclable architectural element.

The project, a surface made up of 1,500 semi-transparent plastic baskets, diffuses the light and the silhouettes, while offering the ability to be reused with different configurations in different places. The surface minimizes the separation between the inside and outside, as light and silhouettes beyond the space show through.

Reduce Waste

Chemicals used in paper manufacturing can end up in the soil. Choose wisely when shopping; avoid purchasing products with excessive packaging. Reuse holiday wrap, or cut down on the amount you use.

Reduction of Human Impact Recycle whenever possible to help ease soil pollution. Use cloth bags instead of paper or plastic at the grocery store, and substitute polycarbonate bottles for plastic water bottles.

I first start of with this shape because it resembling a leaf, the reason why I picked this leaf shape is due to my topics on soil pollution and harvesting. One thing you will be able to think of between the two topics will be plants and crops

Secondly, I started by spliting the form to 4 floors

After that, I’m showing how I’m going to reduce the size of the groundfloor

Thirdly, as I have reduced the size of the groundfloor due to having more room within the park area for people to have free roam. Because the height of each floor is 4 metres so it allows to people to use some of groundfloor as a shelter area

The Allianz Arena

Matadero Madrid Cultural Centre

The Allianz Arena celebrates its 10th birthday this year. Clad in inflated ETFE panels, the stadium is home to both FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich, and changes from red to blue depending on which team is playing.

The design comprises a large colourful patterned floor dotted with objects and openings that invite children to run, jump, hide and climb. These include a big red hexagonal prism that you can climb into with a ladder, circles set into the ground, stepping stones and a blue doorway.

KFC GRAB & GO

W H AT I S K F C ?

KFC is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken. KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression around 1930’s. KFC popularized chicken in the fast food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger.

KFC’s original product is pressure fried chicken pieces, seasoned with Sanders’ recipe of 11 herbs and spices. The constituents of the recipe represent a notable trade secret. Since the early 1990s, KFC has expanded its menu to offer other chicken products such as chicken fillet burgers and wraps, as well as salads and side dishes, such as French fries and coleslaw, desserts, and soft drinks, the latter often supplied by PepsiCo.

KFC is known for its slogans “Finger Lickin’ Goo

Step 1

Step 5

Scr een Panel

Firstly, you approch the KFC grab and go store.

Then, as you enter the KFC grab and go store, the first thing you would see are the large screen panels across the store with ordinary people LIVE within the screens welcoming you.

After that, you then approach one of the screens and then the person within the screen starts to greet you.

After that, The screen provides you to type your name down using the screen. However within the screen, there is an option where you can use Touch ID to register If you registered yourself on the KFC SMILE APP

After you provide your details, the menu displays in front of you. Then you can select the meals you would like by tapping it on the screen.

After when you finish selecting what you would like you then tap FINISH, which is the green button.

THE CONCEPT

# The reason why I chose this concept to have a smile authorise their payment, because with KFC motto “It’s finger lickin good” generally people smile when they taste good, so I’m trying to use that aspect of people smiling whilst tasting good food. And the motto for KFC to create a scanning system for KFC where people are paying with a smile. So essientally, you come in with a smile and you leave with a

od”, “Nobody does chicken like KFC” and “So good”.

Step 6

Step 7

Step 8 Counter

Secondly, after you select what you want to eat, then the screen scans your face and displays it on the screen. Then, essientally you will then give a ‘nice smile’ to authorise your payment.

After that, you will get a receipt printed from the screen panel, if you were the 100th person within a certain week then you will get a 50% Discount for the next time you enter the store.

Essientally every 100th person within every week earns a dicount prize, it could vary by having by buying 1 and getting 2 for free.

After paying for the meal, you then recieve your meal from the counter from a KFC staff member. This creates that human interaction.

Proposing the first CM Community Hub that gathers generations through the interactions and sharing of music knowledge and skills

Because Old Kent Rd is such a diverse area with different cultures, I implemented African influ building material and patterns from traditional dresses. I’m proposing African influences from Tanzania and Uganda to introduce those from different backgrounds that may not know anyth cultural background to be invested into those country influences. The reason why I’m applying African dresses onto my proposal is because within the traditional sides of West and East Afri dresses within music events, festivals and celebrations and that ties within the element of mu heavily influenced within West and East Africa.

The reason why it would influence kids today it’s because within today’s sociecty a lot of crimes happen within london which includes the likes of knife crime, so I feel that the idea of a multicultural centre that has areas that would give kids the oppurtunity to step out of that lifestyle.

The aim is to use the element of music to tackle crime that occurs a lot within Old Kent Rd, esp young people. My idea is also used to break the tension between the elderly and young people intimidated by the young people, so these buildings plus the underground arena are areas wh people and Elderly are able to break the chain of tension as they’re introduced to the World of

The reason why it will benifit the area is because in Old Kent Rd the area shows no sense of devlopement within their commuinity due to lack of buildings being built. Also it will benefit the area by having public not be intimidated by young people in crime, this would then help especially elderly people who are lonely of the time within the area to help communicate their own perspective with young people.

A fan coil unit is a diverse device sometimes using ductwork and is used to control the temperature in the space where it is installed or serve multiple spaces. It is controlled either by a manual on/ off switch or by a thermostat, which controls the throughput of water to the heat exchanger using a control valve and/or the fan speed. Due to their simplicity and flexibility, fan coil units can be more economical to install than ducted 100% fresh air systems (VAV) or central heating systems with air handling units or chilled beams. Various unit configurations are available, including horizontal (ceiling mounted) or vertical (floor mounted).
