Project Resolution Adaptive Reuse Section

Remove existing downpipes behind brickwall, increase overhang and freeup space in the internal layer of the wall to install rigid installation.

Project Resolution Week 10. Construction Detail Research

In this preliminary research, I am looking for standard detail of CLT or Gluelam construction. Some of the key points: • Lower embodied energy compare to steel • Good thermal Insulator due to air pockets between timber grain

Project Resolution Reflection & Progress

Reflection The design move into resolution phase requires more accurate detailing in sun angle in relation to the roof form and wall. Most of my understanding in the previous weeks has been quite generic and not a thorough investiagation.

I found that by directly drawing over the sunpath and tweaking the roof form to match with the sun altitude and direction is a very efficient way to progress with the roof iterations.

Progress Record Resolved • Concept for roof of Library. Origami fold - the first fold describe the exisiting roof form (South), the second fold maximise sun angle and solar gain.

• More Iteration requires with Sun path diagram shown on plan UnResolved • Arrangement of classroom within the library. Separation between.

• Reading room at entrance, adjacent to library.

• Structure. Possibly a portal frame that describe the folding roof form Further Research • Heatloss to roof as per thickness • Solar gain of each facade NSEW in both plan and section and corresponding shading strategy (Resolved 04.10.2020) • How to integrate Stage I into Technology block, step back to look at the Master Plan as a whole.

Divide the library’s floor plan into 4 different programmatic strips, while put the resource area in the middle

Project Resolution Sketches & Idea Development

3 Rules to an origami roof: firstly, all sub-surfaces are triangulated (single directional surface). Second, all fold from one corner, avoid complication with waterproofing. Third, all rafters are to be convex, not concave.

Idea 3.2 (Rejected) Creating Curve at edge of the building to widen walk path

Idea 3.1 (Rejected) Reading room between Main block and library

Project Resolution Reflection & Feedbacks Notes

The design has to be further reinforced the 4 following objectives that represents intergrated design thinking: 1. Pedagogical Concept 2. Architectural design - Spatial and aesthetic 3. Engineering Objectives 4. Carbon Neutral Objectives *Improvement from last presentation Start with introduction on breaking down the Brief, then states the overarching concept that answer to the brief (the return brief).

All design decision must be tied back to the design principles Key decision Centralised or de-centralised mechanical system ?

If centralised, plants to be locate and progressively added in the same location Addition Information Handball court - the main social zone Area in front of Gymnasium - under-utilised area Oval used by the school exclusively during at given hours Timber screen, pergola in the same colour palette as brick

Ideation Sketches & Idea Development

What facilitates creativity in years 7 to 10 ?

Playfulness of the facade to create curiosity in students Being observed but can not see back due to height difference Blend between the concepts of transparency and fostering creativity The playful brick is flexible in openings, can be modifed for different iterations of energy modeling.

Precedents Research Materiality

VIETTEL ACADEMY EDUCATIONAL CENTRE BY VTN ARCHITECTS

• Brick texture allows to improve acoustic performance of the building • Opportunity to incorporate greenery on top of the roof • Walking platforms between blocks

ASSEMBLE HOUSING - 15 THOMPSON STREET, KENSINGTON

• Brick base with greenery incorporate into the design

MID-SEMESTER REFLECTION Feedback Note REFLECTION

Engineer feedbacks

• Possibly moving plant to the roof with reinforced platform above.

• Strategy for glare to the north facade - device & strategy ?

• Use energy modelling as an active tool to test the design instead of only a tool to check • Consider cantilever if that help • Design proposal is too safe, consider more testing and experimenting.

Client feedbacks (McCarthy, Mitchell)

• How line of sight work from inside the building • Flexibility also means more space for teaching and adapting teaching style • Trees on the south-west of the library is in decline • Roof is at the end of life, possible incoorperation of plants onto the roof • Night-purge does not work well with Canberra climate • Cold and wet most time of the year, the connection of buildings through enclosed spaces. Avoid outdoor space - the pergola might not work.

(Critical ! - this is not Melbourne Climate like in the precedents) • How circulation and learning space can be incorporated ?

• Lost students during learning periods from general learning area.

• 60 ~ 75% time students spend in general learning space. 25% on specialist area (Tech building). Hence, less impact for the overall school if focus on Tech as the main focus for the design.

• Flexible funiture and not rectilinear • Do not tell the client to reduce footprint as they most likely to object removal of exisitng building footprint is a proposition that need to be carefully considered • Library primary function is to support the general learning area.

• Show how the library can connect back to the main block.

• Library will host a range of activites during lunch and recess • Group classroom by year level for convenience

• More client focus. Give an overall context and stating the school values and ambition at the first few slides to speak the client interest. I am presenting to a group of EDUCATORS, and not only architects or engineer. Hence, talk about pedagogy at the beginning. Presentation starts off dull and doesn’t capture the client interest right away.

1. Talk the client langugue - express understanding, empathy and respect for the school’s pedagogy.

2. Speak your concept 3. Align their interest with my concepts.

• Timeline thinking - show in the presentation. Stage I is a stepping stone to open up the North area of the Campus. This is strategic in helping other • Does the pergola and outdoor learning space works in Canberra Climate ?

PRECEDENTS RESEARCH Pergola Design

CRAIGIEBURN LIBRARY by Fjmt • Large open space for the public with furniture subdivide the space • Lourve system and full height glass facade.
