ABSTRACT The purpose of the project SUN GARDENS is to use sustainable design approaches and tools to create a new housing complex in Håndværkerkvarteret in Aalborg. The project area has been studied through different analyses. Taking them together with sustainable aspects they were considered as the basis of the task. The design process included a research on the principal volumetric models as a start, and later a sketching and daylight phase. After numerous variants, the concept of the final propose was realized by using LEGO bricks as model experience. The results were taken through the phases later on, focused on the building program, daylight and apartment organization. Passive solutions were implemented to meet Building Regulation energy class 2020, and active solutions were used for meeting net-zero energy building demands. At the end, the project focused on detailing and urban spaces on the site. During the whole process, it was important to create a building complex which can be fully functional in every aspect, delivering great sustainable solutions.

PHILOSOPHY “The »global fear of climate« makes us paralysed ... you won’t get very far with doomsday and nightmare scenarios. People can’t manage the options, the solutions ... Therefore we need to show the solutions. They should be concrete, tangible – and then I’m sure there will be great popular support to solve the problem”. – Climate and Energy Minister, Martin Lidegaard “A great building, in my opinion, must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when being designed, and in the end be unmeasurable”.

Before 1987 people talked about the ecology concerning architecture and environment. Then the Brundtland Report / Our Common Future was laid out by the chairman of the WCED, Gro Harlem Brundtland. (dac.dk, 2014) The report introduced the concept of sustainability as considering both social, environmental and economic aspects. Certifications as the DGNB are built on this concept, and it is also the main driver for the Sustainable Design (SD) approach used in this project. According to the curriculum, the project should be the integrated design of a mixed-use zero-energy housing. But what does it mean for this specific project, and how will sustainability be treated with regard to the economic, social and environmental aspects?

SD SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE

Illustration 8.3. The three main aspects of sustainable design

To break it up in understandable bits, mixed-use is the inclusion of different functions such as housing and offices. This will result in a longer occupancy of the site throughout the day, which will provide a natural surveillance and a feeling of safety. So saying, an example of social sustainability. That the housing is zero-energy means that the energy demand is low due to passive solutions such as high insulation, and that this energy demand is covered by active solutions. The design of these solutions must be handled sensitively according to the sustainability position. The integrated design process is the feedback-loops between different phases as described in the following chapter about methodology. The mentioned aspects are considered along with technical, logistical, functional

ANALYSIS

and spatial problems in order to reach an integrated building through a holistic design approach. Both the environmental and economic aspects of sustainability will be dealt with especially through the passive and active solutions and considerations of materials with a simplified life-cycle assessment. The housing complex should contain dwellings with good living conditions. There should be a comfortable indoor environment and a high quality of spaces and daylight. It should be attractive for a family to settle here by offering suburban qualities in a dense context.

Illustration 9.1. The 5 phases of the Integrated Design Process.

The project is based on the Integrated Design Process (IDP) as defined by Mary Ann Knudstrup. The IDP consists of five phases: problem, analysis, sketching, synthesis and presentation. When working with this method the first four phases are based on a non-linear progress and the phases are revised as many times as possible before ending up in the fifth phase (as shown below). These methods are combining the architectural and engineering design process. (Knudstrup, 2005) The first phase is the phase where the problem is described. The problem originates in the project description and is later developed into a problem formulation. The analysis phase is where information about the site and context is gathered

DESIGN PROCESS

and analysed. A phenomenological approach is used through observations of an early visit to the site. Further investigations of the site are done by using both qualitative and quantitative analyses such as mappings and studies of climate, users and sustainability. The collected knowledge is the foundation for the design process. In the sketching phase, architectural and engineering knowledge is used to meet the requirements and wishes. All design criteria are considered through sketches and models, both computational as well as physical, in order to optimize the project. This phase is pushed forward by the common vision, that is shared among the group members. In the synthesis phase, the building complex reaches its final form. All of the aspects from the sketching phase

are synthesized, interacting with each other, in order to have a more complete design. Certain aspects are optimized, and the performance is documented. Finally, the presentation phase shows the qualities of the project. It includes spatial visualisations, technical drawings, diagrams, physical models etc. The phase points out how the aims of the project and design criteria are fulfilled.

The project site is located in Aalborg in the North Jutland province. With a population of 112.194 it is the 4th largest city in the country, but takes a 3rd place as for the municipality. Furthermore, the city of Aalborg has been elected as the happiest city in all of Europe, according to a recent EU report (Visit Aalborg, 2016) Aalborg has always been an important location on the coast of the Limfjord. Evolving from being a minor Viking settlement, it became a prosperous commercial town in medieval times, and afterwards a “working class city”. Nowadays, Aalborg has become an education and knowledge-based city with an attractive and public waterfront towards the Limfjord, offering a variety of options (Visit Aalborg, 2016)

The building tradition is primarly brick houses. However, in more recent years Aalborg has taken on a strong identity of concrete buildings, especially in new developments along the waterfront. such as the Utzon Center and the House of Music.

Aalborg Portland is the market leader of the concrete production in Denmark, and is an international supplier of the charecteristic white concrete.

SITE DESCRIPTION Illustration 11.2. Nearby housing (terraced houses)

Illustration 11.1. The project site in Håndkvarteret

The site is located in the southern part of Aalborg Centrum, in a district called Håndværkerkvarteret. It is covering an area of 7452 m2, bordered by the roads Hjulmagervej and Bødkervej, a small side-stream of Østerå, and a gas station on the Sønderbro side. The district is one of the areas in the municipality chosen for development between 2020 and 30, as a green industrial zone. The existing buildings on the site as it is now include a mosque, a car repair shop, a paintshop and a smith. These buildings with inherent functions are only covered lightly in the project.

Illustration 11.3. Nearby housing (villas)

Surrounded by buildings with a variation in height, there is a clear boundary made by Jyllandsgade and Sønderbro. The building blocks to the north and east have an average height of six floors. However the buildings to the south and west from those streets have an average height of two floors. HJULMAGERVEJ

The topography is flat throughout the whole area with the exception of the small stream located south of the site. Beside it, the height differs around 0,5 m on average in the radius of 50 m. Meanwhile, the pedestrian and water level of the stream is 0.7 and 1.4 m below the area, respectively. STREAM

THE GARDEN CITY Illustration 15.1. Diagram of a garden city with the population of 32.000.

Illustration 15.2. A cluster of garden cities and allotments around a central city.

The concept of the garden cities was fomulated by Ebenezer Howard (18581928) in his book “To-Morrow: a Peacefull Path to Real Reform” (1898). (Reps, 2016) The garden cities are representated as radial diagrams, and thought as small cities with populations of 32.000. Even though they are outside the central city, they are still interconnected through a system of railways. (Illustration 15.1-2). Ebenezer Howard asked the question: “Where will the people go?” as seen in illustration 15.3. He proposed that there are three magnets attracting the people; the Town, the Country and the Town-Country. When reading the diagram, one should naturally be aware that it is more than a century old, but many of the qualities and downsides seem to apply today.

DESIGN PROCESS

The Town-Country magnet resembles the suburban qualities but is set up in an utopian way. Still, allmost all of qualities are desirable for the design project of a housing complex. These include “bright homes & gardens”, “social opportunity” and “fields and parks of easy access”. In a modern context, it is important to develop dense cities considering the environment and many other aspects. The question is now to design with a high density in the city, including the suburban qualities that are attractive to people, from both an environmental and social perspective.

The area originally was called Kjæret and had an agricultural view of gardens at the roadside towards Gug, and also a mill and a number of clay pits where bricks were produced. An artificial channel from Østerå stream ran across to the north-east direction. After the industrial revolution, by the 1860s the area became a part of the new industrial zone, bordered by the freight and private railway station from north, and two big factories (new Kjærmølle Mill and Godthaab Brick Factory) at the south-western side. The eastern part (Østerkjæret) remained a garden area. It was divided into small allotments and rented by members if the Workers Association who could also have accommodation in the new nearby blockhouses of Kærvang. (Aalborg Kommune, 1999) Different species of

plants could be found in these gardens: flowers, vegetables and fruit trees.

SITE IN 1956 AND 2014

The project site was the very first area that turned from green to grey. (COWI DDOland, 1954) Now in the beginning of 21st century it is a postindustrial district consisting mainly of aging and wornout buildings with limited residental use: Block houses at Kærvang, workshops and businesses, and also a mosque. In 2005 it was decided by the

In April 2015 there was a discussion about the future of Håndværerkvarteret. As a part of the new light rail which now has been swapped out with a Bus rapid transit (BRT) to cut expenses, the side is planned to undergo a transformation as the area located across Sønderbro, i.g Eternitten. Håndværkerkvarteret is supposed to be a combination of residences and light industry, so the existing industries are incorporated in to the new plans. According to the new plans, the goal is to create a kind of self-grown diverse environment in the sense that the transformation is gradual and molds to companies’ needs for small expansions and an ongoing function replacement. It means that diversity is supported and maintained in the future. Around the core of activity, dwellings

are planned. The interdiction of homes will introduce life in the neighborhood around the clock. Both residents and customer flows will create activity in the area, and the new applications are helping to support this. (Aalborg Kommune, 2015)

Considering the traffic infrastructure, there are two main access roads to the site area: the arterial road Østre Alle from the south, and the collector road Sønderbro from the east. The roads adjecent to the project site are local roads with low-traffic frequency. On Sønderbro, there are three bus stations available as the nearest public transport, and the main train station is less than a kilometre away. The project site can be accessed by car from the northern adjacent road as the main access direction, and the western adjacent road as a secondary approach. There is also the possibility to connect with the neighbouring eastern site by introducing pedestrian pathways. (Google maps, 2016)

The vegetation analysis considers a mapping of existing green areas which are relevant to the project site and municipality plans of the area. Among the public green areas around the site, there are the amusement park Karolinelund within 500 m reach, and recreational park Østre Anlæg which is around 750 m away. There are also a school park right across Sønderbro and a fire accumulation lake area which is completely closed for the public. The most relevant part in the area is the green passage with the stream which is adjacent to the southern border of the site. The northern border follows the street with a medium-dense tree belt which serves as a noise and vision barrier. (Google maps, 2016) The municipality plans for the area include a prolongation of the stream

towards north, where the former freight railway station will be transformed into a recreational area. Considering this analysis, it will be a task to incorporate green areas and vegetation as much as possible, and also to enhance the quality of the green passage along the stream.

Noise pollution significantly reduces living quality and can have some serious health impacts on inhabitants (Eng.mst.dk, 2016). Almost one in three homes in Denmark suffer from traffic noice with a value above the recommended noise limit. The Danish Ministry of Environment and Food recommends a limit of 58 dB for traffic noise in residential city areas.

The site can be considered as a part of the Northern Jutland macroclimate, which is approximately the same as the macroclimate of the entire Denmark. Weather data for precipitation, temperatures and sun hours is therefore based on national observations from 2001-2009 rather than regional observations from 1961-1990, due to the matter of climate changes.

However, if the building is connected to the energy grid, generated electricity can be sold off and bought back as heating for the winter. The building should also consider the seasonal change of sun

Due to the newest prognoses (Aalborg Kommune, 2016) Aalborg Kommune’s population will increase to approx 109 % of its current size (which means almost 20.000 people in twelve years). The municipality has annual statistics that help to contour the different groups of population by age and living area and living conditions. So does the prognosis that predicts the changes of each group within the next decade. The tables (illustration 26.1-2) show that even though many newborns are predicted, the share of elder people increases significantly. The gap between 0-24 and 67+ year-olds nearly disappears, the youth–elder rate changes from a current 82,7% to 99,6% which means their number will be nearly equal at the time. The potential parents of newborns are generally in the 25-66 years group.

When occupants are looking for a place to settle, there are some different preferences that are weighted high depending on which type of dwelling they are looking for. The diagrams show the priorities for the open-low, dense-low and dense-tall typologies, respectively. (Illustration 27.1). In addition, there is a division between priorities for outdoor and indoor areas. The diagrams (illustration 27.2-3) are based on data from a questionnaire where occupants rated the different aspects of priority. (Ærø, 2002)

Generally speaking, they are desirable for couples, parents and elders looking for the social and economic, perhabs also environmental, aspects of dense living. The occupants seem to have equally distributed preferences, but they still prefer a low energy consumption. For the dense-tall typology there are in general two types of ownerships. Apartment owners are typically elders or young couples. Renters consist in

FAMILY COUPLES

FAMILY Illustration 28.1. Couples at the waterfront.

The COUPLES group is composed by young couples or elder parents whose children have moved out. They value living conditions that are supporting a social life. There should accordingly be rooms in the apartments that are inviting for guests, along with rooms that are more private. The lifestyle of this user group, and the probably short time spent home in the apartments, should naturally be taken into account, when planning these apartments sustainably.

INTRO

Illustration 28.3. A family of two adults and three children.

The FAMILY group consists of parents with 1 or 2 children. It is important for them to live close to a kindergarten, a school and sport activities. Generally, they prefer to have a private outdoor space and a public playground nearby for the children to play at. It is important to have safe surroundings, considering traffic and neighbours. It is the norm that both parents are working full-time during the week. In that respect, it is primarily in the the evenings and the weekends that the whole family is together. The rooms should be flexible so they can accommodate individual priorities and changes in the family.

ANALYSIS

The FAMILY PLUS group is parents with 2 children or more. They have the same requirements as the FAMILY group but need dwellings with a larger area to match the size of the family. With larger dwellings comes a greater need for flexibility, so the rooms and functions can be rearranged to suit the changing size and demands of the family over the years. The large families are in many cases consisting of “patchwork families”, where the siblings are from the parents’ previous partners.

The daily routines of inhabitants can have a significant effect on energy demand of the dwellings, depending on the number of people, their age and personal background. The number of people is usually an important design factor. However, there is a big difference between young couples without children, and elders whose children has already moved out. Statistics can help to recognize and separate the most active hours of a day, which data can be taken into consideration in the question of room organization.

DESIGN PROCESS

Today’s need is to have a well-organized system that can be easily adopted to the most different kind of living situations. It’s usual to order rooms functionally together, such as rather common spaces (usually day area: living room, kitchen…) and private ones (usually night area: bed room, bath…). .

BEDZED Illustration 30.1. The Green Light House on a summer evening.

There are a few definitions of the Zero Energy Building (ZEB). In general, they have these aspects in comming: Energy neutrality, good indoor environment and architectural qualities in one integrated design. There are a few different goals or approaches to energy neutrality, and that is where the definitions mainly differ. Besides the basic requirements, the definitions are fairly open, resulting in numerous possible solutions. NEARLY ZEB The Nearly ZEB definition considers the building related energy demands from heating, cooling, domestic hotwater and ventilation. It stribes to cover energy demands by only renewable sources with enerny generation on-site. However, there is a mismatch in the

INTRO

annual cycle between energy demand and the solar potential, so it is almost impossible to obtain this. (BPIE, 2016) NET ZEB The definition of Net ZEB considers the user related energy demand in addition to the building related energy demand. Furthermore, the building is now connected with an energy grid. Net ZEB neutralises the annual mismatch by having the non-renewable energy used, such as district heating during the winter, with renewable energy generated from photovoltaics during the summer, for instance. (Wbdg,dk, 2015)

ANALYSIS

PLUS ZEB This definition of ZEB also considers the construction related energy demand, which includes the embodied energy in materials and installations during the lifetime of the building, maintainance, renovation and demolition. It must all be covered by the energy generation from renewable sources. (Concept-bio.eu, 2016)

HOME FOR LIFE

The Green Lighthouse is an activehouse and the first example of a public CO2 neutral building in Denmark. It was design by Christensen & Co Architects, with engeneering partner COWI, and completed in 2009. A part of the energy concept of the building is the solution of district heating being used to power a heat pump. This results in less produced CO2 and optimises the use of energy. The indoor climate is also a large part of the sustainability considerations in the Green Lighthouse. Daylight is a part of the architectural thinking of the circular

BedZED is a pioneering example in London of how to build sustainable housing. It was designed by ZEDFactory Architecture with engineering partner ARUP, and finished in 2012. The building is concerned about natural ventilation in unique way: Wind blows into inlet, and there is a change of heat inside the chimney. It is one of the only examples of natural ventilation with heat recovery. The chimneys have a debately aesthetic quality, but they have nevertheless become an iconic feature. It is a succesfull mixed-use housing with happy inhabitants. (ZEDFactory, 2016)

Home For Life in Lystrup from 2008 is the world’s first example of an activehouse, and was designed by AART Architects with Esbensen Consulting Engineers. It has the goal of being a positive energy building, generating more energy than what is consumed. It is a sustainable single-family house with an automatic facade system. (aart.dk) The inhabitants have a display where they can follow the energy uses for the building. They also have the power to control the facade system themselves, which has led to somewhat unexpected user behaviour.

The aim of the project is to design a building complex that will meet zero energy standard on annual basis. The energy demand is calculated in Be15 according to BR2020 , including building energy: heating, cooling, domestic hot water, ventilation (20 kWh per year) and user related energy: appliances, lighting and cooking. The primary energy will be calculated using energy factors for low energy class 2020. The total energy demand should be covered by renewable energy sources, and thereby reaching energy neutrality. The building is intended to interact with the energy infrastructure, so that it can transfer excessive electrity generated during the summer, for heating in the wintertime.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

During the design process there will be passive solutions which include low-emission building envelope with U value below 0,1W/m2K for the walls and low-e windows, using design principles for natural ventilation and cooling, building placement and orientation, implementing solar shading.

To achieve a healthy and comfortable indoor environment several aspect have to be considered such as: the daylight factor in living spaces, keeping the pollution ratio under recommended values, achieving recommended temperatures in order to have thermal comfort and application of healthy materials. The requirement for thermal comfort in summertime is based on: Class II from EN 15251:2007 standard, and the requirement for indoor air quality on: Class II from CR1752 standard. The calculations and simulations are executed in BSim. The acoustic demands are listed in accordance with (2016, Anne Bejder), but are only scarcely considered.

ACTIVE SOLUTIONS Active solutions consider renewable energies such as solar photovoltaic panels which should cover total energy demand on annual basis in order to reach energy neutrality.

DGNB was chosen by the Danish Building Council in 2010, out of BREAM, LEED and DGNB. Likewise, it is chosen as a sustainability measurement for the project, due to its adequate balance of social, economical and environmental aspects in consideration. (DGNB system Denmark, 2015)

Looking more critically at the subject, one of the disadvantages could be that the certification does not consider the qualities that cannot be measured. Furthermore, it tends to focus on points instead of architectural qualities. (Steen Larsen, T, 2016)

The DGNB criteria listed above will be the main aspects of consideration in housing complex.

The advantages of designing towards a sustainability certication are many. Firstly, it helps making sure that every or many criteria are fulfilled. Also, it supports the integrated design process, considering important parameters from the beginning. The building becomes overall more sustainable, and it is easier to compare buildings in relation to sustainability. The certication also works as a qualility stamp. Illustration 34.2. LEED.

SUMMARY

Analyses contain basic research studies of the site relevant for project development. Gathered information serve as guidelines and restrictions in design process, emphasising the qualities and potentials of the site. History readings revealed existence of urban, community gardens on the area prior to its transformation into industrial zone. Considering that fact, one of the approach is to implement garden idea into design process. Taking into account that that Karolinelund is the nearest (within 500m) public park and the municipality plan is to transform old railway station into recreational zone, it was decided to embrace the new recreational zone on the north and emphasise potential of the green area around the stream, while connecting it with the new healthy open spaces. The stream is also planned to prolong along the new recreation zone, so it has a great potential of creating quality outdoor areas. The noise analyses have shown that the quarter of east part is affected by traffic noise, so this will affect the building or function placement, or application of vegetation noise barriers. Climate studies are showing some information for application of sustainable approaches such as rainwater collection, thermal comfort or natural ventilation and also renewable energies. Research on demographic of Aalborg showed current and future housing demands which will be taken into consideration in the design process; and user groups correspond to apartment types and sizes. Summarizing, accumulated knowledge helps to set priorities and determines design criteria for proposed project. Gathered information are crucial for proper understanding of the site context which ensures that proposals will correspond to the user’s needs. Overall, architectural interventions should respect the surrounding context and create healthy sustainable living environment.

of < 0.1 W/m2K, therefore the most efficient thermal insulation is used. The chosen insulation is 18 cm thick rigid polyurethane foam (PUR/PIR) with thermal conductivity of 0.018 W/mK. The material also fulfils fire regulation demands and it is easy to install on the wall with ordinary working methods. (Excellence-in-insulation.eu, 2016) With reinforced concrete as a loadbearing layer, PUR insulation and brick as a final layer, the total U-value is 0.095 W/m2K, while the roof areas have the U-value of 0.096 W/m2K (see appendix D2). The windows are using ClimaGuard Premium triple glazing (4+14+4+14+4) with argon filling, high light transmittance of 71% and total U-value of 0,6 W/m2K. (Illustration 74.1). (Guardian.com, 2016)

ANALYSIS

The chosen frames are standard passive house wooden frames with the U-value of 0.75 W/m2K.

ACTIVE SOLUTIONS In order to reach zero-energy standard, active solutions were introduced to cover heat and electricity building demands and user related energy (appliances, lighting). The proposal includes photovoltaic panels placed on the roof areas along the whole complex (illustration 74.2). An example of a calculation with standard efficiency coefficients is shown in appendix D1. Photovoltaics (PV) The chosen type is Panasonic N330 with the output energy of 330 W and cell efficiency with the whole module efficiency of 19.7%. (Panasonic, 2016). The total electricity production equals 136.647 kWh per year (building B)

DESIGN PROCESS

which exceeds the total electricity demand including appliances. (See B15 calculations in appendix A) The excess of produced electricity could be transferred to the building A which contains some office areas with higher electricity demand. (Assumption) The placement of the panels was determined by pre-analysis in Ladybug software which showed the highest rates of sun radiation on the roof areas. (illustration 103.1) The electricity production differs along the seasons of the year which is shown on the graph (illustration 75.1). The excess electricity production during summer would be transferred to the grid using primary energy factors (1.8/0.6).

The indoor environment of the apartments is simulated in software BSim in relation to thermal comfort, air quality (ventilation and CO2 levels) and daylight. The two types of the most critical appartment were chosen to simulate indoor environonment: apartment type 04 (114 m2) and apartment type 01 (70 m2) which is shown in appendix E. BSim systems are adjusted with appropiate controls and schedules in order to fulfil the following demands (illustration 79.2).

temperatures are folowing Eurocode standards EN 15251, which corresponds to 22-26°C for summer and 21-22°C for winter. Overheating is prevented by applying constant natural venting during July and August without the use of shading (illustration 78.1-2). AIR QUALITY The air quality is simulated through CO2 levels which had to be lower than 850 ppm according to EN 15251 (illustration 78.3-4). In the apartment type 04 it was essential to apply some sort of ventilation every single hour because of high pollution produced by 5 people. Mechanical ventilation is set for winter months and nights of the spring and fall months, since it was too cold to naturally vent during nights.

ANALYSIS

Natural venting is applied during the days of summer and fall months and whole days during July and August (illustration 79.2). In all the apartments cross ventilation is ensured in the living room and kitchen by means of large openings and accesses to the terraces (illustration 76.1) DAYLIGHT The daylight conditions are the main factor for achieving a proper atmosphere and living quality in the apartments. The daylight analysis were made in Velux software which shows a distribution of daylight factor in the rooms. The goal was to reach minimum 5 % in living spaces, 3-4 % in bedrooms, and average 2 % in the auxiliary spaces.

The choice of the orientation played a major role for ensuring the maximum daylight quality. The rotated placement of the building provides light from the early afternoon (south-east) to late afternoon (south-west). The results in the Velux calculation (illustration 79.1) show apartment type 04 with bright living spaces and around 2% in the entrance areas.

would require much more material use and it is more expensive because it has to be processed in order to meet fire regulations. In terms of a life cycle, the concrete is more durable and have almost no maintenance when compared to wood.

CONSTRUCTION

ENVELOPE

The construction is made of reinforced concrete (illustration 80.1) which was the best choice in terms of performance and economy. The structure is based on a 5x5 m grid which requires a relative small thickness of the walls and columns when made in concrete. The wooden structure was considered because of its low embodied energy compared to concrete, but it was not sustainable in terms of economy. Wooden structure

The building envelope represents the largest and the most expressed surface in the building. Therefore, the choice for its material was crucial for the whole project. After evaluating all factors and criteria regarding sustainability, context or economy, the importance of the local context prevailed. The chosen material is locally produced facade brick (illustration 80.2-3) from the manufacturer Petersen, Kolumba

ANALYSIS

series (En.petersen-kolumba.dk, 2016). In terms of life cycle impact, the bricks are considered sustainable because of their long term life performance, low maintenance, energy efficiency and they are fully recyclable (Brick.org.uk, 2016). The chosen type of brick is also handcrafted in wooden modules where they are dried and fried. INDOOR MATERIALS The indoor areas have concrete load bearing walls and and partition walls made of concrete blocks. The concrete walls can store a lot of thermal mass which is good for regulating indoor temperatures and prevent temperature swings (Larsen, O. 2016). The floors are imagined to be covered with hardwood (illustration 80.4) for all living spaces

and bedrooms. Wood is also the best material because of its low embodied energy, having reduced CO2 emissions, and can be recycled or reused again for another purpose. OUTDOOR MATERIALS The outdoor areas are including private terraces with gardens and public areas on the site. The terraces are partially covered with wooden deck (illustration 81.2), and the rest is grass (illustration 81.1). The grass area can be used for growing small plants.

DESIGN PROCESS

A lot of aspects have been considered when choosing materials, and the sustainable aspects were not always on the first priority if they influenced the performance or aesthetics. The construction and the envelope represent the major use of materials and for the rest, the wood was introduced whenever possible.

The DGNB scheme assesses sustainability from six major quality groups. The groups are divided into 40 criteria which are addressing sustainable qualities. 12 of them are chosen as guidelines in the design process of this project. The quality groups that are considered for this project are: environment, economy, social, technical and process qualities. ENVIRONMENT There are four criteria from the environment group that were playing a major role in measuring sustainability during the design process. 1.1. Life cycle impact assessment includes total environmental impact of a building through its lifecycle.

This involves material production, construction, maintenance, operation, demolition and removal of the building (Steen Larsen, T. 2016.). All of these factors have been considered through the design process. Materials have been considered in terms of local availability, maintenance and embodied energy. It was not always possible to use materials of the lowest embodied energy since other factors such as performance and maintenance had to be considered. The brick for the facade (illustration 82.1) prevailed as the choice because of its local availability, context, low maintenance, long life performance and end-of-life recycling possibilities (illustration 82.2). (DGNB system Denmark, 2015)

ANALYSIS

1.2. Local Environmental Impact is considering the toxicity and health impact of the materials. The materials that are containing volatile organic compound (VOC) are hazardous air pollutants so the goal is to lower this impact and use as much natural materials as possible. Therefore it is important to carefully choose coatings and decorative paints with environmental properties. (DGNB system Denmark, 2015) 2.1. Life cycle assessment Primary energy takes into account total energy demand of the building and ratio of renewable and non-renewable energies. In this project this requirements are fully covered because of the low energy demand and energy neutrality reached by renewable technologies using PV.

2.2. Drinking and waste water criteria is about lowering drinking water consumption and management of a grey water and rainwater. The main solution for this point is rainwater collection from the rooftops and its use for toilet flushing and watering plants (illustration 83.2). ECONOMY 1.1. Life cycle cost includes construction costs, operation costs, maintenance, replacement costs and cleaning expenses. The major cost from the construction part would be concrete structure and brick facade with windows. When comparing to wooden structure, the concrete solution would be less expensive, but chosen brick is quite expensive, so it can justified for

its long lifetime performance and low maintenance. 2.1. Flexibility and adaptability refer to changing requirements for building use in order to prolong the service life of the building and reduce costs through the lifecycle. In this project, another function except housing was introduced in a form of flexible office areas, business, shops or workshops. Furthermore, the housing units are based on repetitive square modules, so there is possibility to organise the units differently or change functions in the future. (DGNB system Denmark, 2015) SOCIAL Social criteria include user related qualities in terms of comfort, health,

Building envelope quality is about reducing the heat demand while ensuring thermal quality. The envelope in this project is designed with the best thermal properties in order to reduce heat losses to minimum (p. 74). PROCESS 1.2. Integrated design means interdisciplinary work between collaborators using holistic approach in the design process which is used in this project. (DGNB system Denmark, 2015)

Ladybug is an add-on for Rhino Grasshopper; a parametric tool for calculating the exposure of the sun on different geometries. It was used here to examine the amount of sun hours and connecting values on the surfaces of the building, testing the model in the two extreme states summer and winter (illustration 84.1.A-B.; 21st of March in appendix G). When setting down the apartments, it was mandatory to find the places with the highest results of sun hours.

INTRO

The height of buildings and orientation of terraces were developed to reach the min. 12 hrs/day during summer and min. 5 hrs/day during winter. The medium valuable areas are occupied by offices where natural and artificial lighting are considered to be used together, while the sun-free zones got the parking and storage places.

Illustration 90.1. Working with lego bricks in the Utzon Center.

In the analysis phase the foundation for the project was created, having the design criteria and vision as a common basis for generating ideas. Through the design process different architectural tools have been used, including physical and digital modelling, sketching and various simulation software. The process is divided into six phases which have all contributed to the final outcome of the project. Phase 1 and 2 are working with the conceptual ideas of the project, leading to the concept presented for the mid-term seminar. Phase 3 is a lego workshop, starting after the mid-term critique which lead to the decision of taking a few steps back. Phase 4 focuses on developing the lego concept, searching for a pattern for organising the building elements. Furthermore, the apartment plans are made, considering daylight, functions and indoor environment. Phase 5 incorporates sustainable solutions and materials, investigating the different expressions of photovoltaics. Phase 6 considers the outdoor spaces and their qualities.

CLIMATE, VOLUME & ORIENTATION Illustration 92.1. S-shaped concept.

Phase 1 starts with the first workshop „Climate, volume, orientation and access“. The aim of the workshop was to explore different building forms and volumes in relation to floor area ratio (FAR), orientation and access to the site. Different typologies and densities were investigated considering the urban context, private and outdoor spaces. The idea was not to come up with a final solution but rather to point out possible problems and challenges as part of the learning process. The workshop resulted in six variations of the building volumes placed in the physical context model. The models were discussed in relation to density, orientation and organisation of the different dwelling units. The first model represents a compact

structure stretched in an S-shape along the site. A challenge of this variation was the depth of the building and organising the apartments. The second model followed a similar pattern as the first, but the building volume was divided in dwelling units shifted a few meters from each other. The third variation explores the possibility of improving the building block volume which consists of individual units rotated from each other. The challenge in this one was to provide adequate daylight into the entrance atrium. The fourth variation investigates having the garden areas on the roofs but is still not optimal with the orientation and apartment distribution. The fifth model presents a cluster of individual units with random placement in order to get different qualities for

each apartment and create variating relationships between the private and public spaces. The sixth variation explores terraced units combined in the longitudinal building creating V-shapes along the site. In this case the density was too low in relation to the site and outdoor spaces.

All the models were evaluated after the workshop in relation to the qualities which should be developed further in the design process. The considered qualities in this phase were daylight, access to the site, apartment orientation and possibilities for outdoor spaces. The sketches and further development of the first and second model were taken into the next phase in order to develop optimal orientations for the apartments. The qualities of the terraced complex (illustration 93.3) were also taken into consideration, while other variations were not developed further.

Phase 2 started with the development of the chosen physical models from phase 1. The process involved sketching the volumes and solving the sections by splitting up the longitudinal volumes in two parts. The aim of this phase was to ensure proper daylight conditions and create a central outdoor space for the inhabitants. The S-shape volume from the previous phase was divided in two longitudinal structures with a northsouth orientation. The sections have been explored with various terraces, solar shading and privacy elements (illustration 94.2). There were also some iterations of the basic shape of the structure, moving towards a more diverse relationship between the buildings and eventually

The sections started to include shifted floors from each other in order to increase the terraces (illustration 94.3). During this process, the inclined roof was introduced with integrated solar panels in order to get optimal conditions for solar generating energy (illustration 94.4). The outdoor area between the buildings was analyzed in terms of daylight, atmosphere and function. The development went from a narrow atrium (illustration 95.1), a green passage (illustration 95.2), to a widespread longitudinal lawn which would serve as a major gathering space for inhabitants (illustration 95.3).

ANALYSIS

CONCLUSION After further analysis of the ideas presented above, several problems were detected. The main idea of the outdoor space in-between wouldn’t have optimal daylight conditions because of the shadow from the southern building. Even though the building was only 2-3 storeys high, it was still enough to provide a lot of shading to the outdoor area. Furthermore, the apartments had a strict north-south orientation without western afternoon light. Considering all information mentioned above, the design process was taken few steps back in order to reach improvements in phase 3.

The third phase in the design process started after the midterm seminar when the progress was taken a few steps back. The goal was to redefine the concept idea and use lego blocks to create different solutions. The lego was also used to introduce a modular organisation in the form of a terraced housing placed on a square grid (5x5 m) rotated by 45°. The scale was used in a way that one lego module matched the dimensions of 5x5 m. In this way it was possible to create repetitive dwelling units and still ensure an optimal orientation and access to the outdoor garden from each apartment.

the 4 iterations (illustration 97.2-5) in height, building mass and FAR. The first solution introduced terraces that are connected in one line, and therefore causing some privacy issues (illustration 97.2). In the second iteration, the two units were paired and shifted by one module, while stretching further into the site. In the other variations the units were shifted differently in order to reach the best possible orientation. After the evaluation of the models, the second solution (illlustration 97.3) was taken for further development which had to include apartment distribution, daylight and organisation.

All variations are developed from two main volumes facing the outdoor area on the southern part of the site (illustration 97.1). The difference between

The apartment units were also made in a larger scale to show relation between the units and the complex section. (Illustration 96.1-3).

INTRO

ANALYSIS

The most problematic spaces were identified in the lower part of the section where there is no access to daylight. The quality of the private gardens was the main focus of this workshop. These considerations were taken into the next phase together with apartment organisation and orientation.

The fourth phase includes building zoning, apartment organisation, daylight considerations and pattern finding. The process includes both sketching and digital simulation analysis. The development starts with redefining the volume from phase 3, and zoning the functions through the section. As it was already discussed on the previous phase, the section of the structure was too deep and had too much area without any access to the daylight. Therefore, the building mass was split in two in order to ensure proper light conditions for all spaces (illustration 98.1-3). The space between the buildings would serve as an access area to the apartments and bicycle parking.

The next step was to define the apartment types and combine them into repetitive pattern structure (illustration 98.1-3). The variations were made in order to find best FAR and position on the site related to the outdoor activity spaces. Different heights and combinations of the modules were also introduced. Considering the typology in patterns, there were two approaches: the repetitive modules with the same expressions in each apartment, and an iteration with a half-module shifting in order to get more diverse outdoor areas (illustration 98.4-5)

Even after the building seperation, it was still a challenge to ensure proper lighting and to find the qualities of the space in-between. The first step was to simulate daylight conditions in Ladybug software for winter season (illustration 100.1). The results showed that some apartments in the building A have no daylight in the garden area during the winter. Therefore, these apartments were raised by one storey (illustration 100.2). The access plateau is still not exposed to direct sunlight, but has enough diffused light like in an atrium. The apartment types were developed together with the pattern structure in a way so all apartments have access to private outdoor areas. In this process, various apartments have been considered in relation to orientation,

size and user group. (101.1). All apartments were developed on a basic grid of 5x5 m, but with different module combinations, orientations and sizes. The combinations were made from two, three, four or five modules, having in consideration that terraces are having an optimal orientation from southeast to southwest. After all apartments have been organised and fit to different user group needs, it was time to analyse the indoor environment and energy use. Four basic types of apartments were taken to the next phase for energy calculations. Even though all apartments had proper orientations, it was necessary to run daylight simulations and adjust the technical systems for proper functioning.

SOLAR CELLS, MATERIALS & DETAILS Illustration 102.1. PV panels on sloped roof.

The phase 5 started with calculations for energy demand, also considering materials and details. After calculations in Be15 and reaching the demands for BR2020, the active solutions had to be integrated. There were several approaches on how to install PV panels on the building envelope. In the previous concepts, the idea was to integrate PV’s into the inclined roof, which was explored in the workshop about materials and materiality (illustration 102.1-2). Furthermore, while developing the terraced and grid based concept, the idea of an inclined roof was abandoned. Another approach included integrated panels in the strip line above the openings (illustration 102.3), but it didn’t fit to the desired aesthetic expression. There was also an attempt to put them on the clear walls

along the facade (illustration 102.4) or integrate the panels into the whole facade (illustration 102.5). Eventually, the panels were placed on the flat roofs, so the surfaces were exposed to the most solar radiation, calculated in Ladybug software (illustration 103.1). Materials were considered in relation to sustainability, local context and aesthetics. Different approaches were used for choosing the materials for construction, envelope and outdoor spaces. The four possible options for the building envelope included wooden cladding, brick, concrete plates or plaster (illustration 103.2-5). In the end, the importance of local context prevailed, so the brick was chosen for the whole facade. After deciding on the materials, the

details were developed. The details show the raised beds of the gardens and the transition from the garden to the indoor spaces (illustration 103.6-7). All the technical aspects and material properties have been addressed in order to have proper building performance, organisation and orientation.

OUTDOOR SPACES

Illustration 104.1. Three iterations of the meeting between path, private outdoor space and building.

The sixth phase considers the outdoor spaces and the activity area. The outdoor area is imagined as a playground and a gathering space with a visual connection to all the apartments. This also contributes to the safety feeling, in cases when parents want to supervise their children on the playgrounds from their terraces. The first ideas also included a lot of activities in the centre of the site including a basketball field, a sand playground and a central sculpture (illustration 105.1). The inspirations for the outdoor spaces were taken from natural playgrounds for children integrated into nature. The area along the stream is naturally lowered from the rest of the site which created possibilities for various interventions. The possible solutions

104

INTRO

included wooden plateaus, concrete slabs or natural terrain adjusted to have some connection with the central area (illustration 104.1). After setting the building units, the complex has taken a lot of space which made the outdoor area quite narrow. Therefore, the space is designed as an extension of the existing stream area with activities for residents (illustration 105.3). One of the approaches involves footpaths flowing through the green belt covering the whole area without following the main grid of the buildings. The other approach follows the grid and involves central part which is covered in vegetation, while the pavement is following the building contour. The road from the north is connected with a small square that continues to the central green park. Different materials have

PRESENTATION

CONCLUSION This project has been designed as a new housing complex for community of Aalborg. It is located near the city’s centre. The buildings are trying to fit to the Kommune’s plans of changing existing area to the east and south of the site into big mix-use development zone. Sun Garden’s architecture is underlining the suburban qualities of individual access to open green areas (terraces). This makes the opportunity for the inhabitants to escape from everyday rushing life and find their own inner peace place in a big city. What is more, all the terraces are giving the chance to grow smaller crops and promote more sustainable way of living. Sustainable and integrated design is a core for Sun Garden’s existence. The light is a central element for shaping the complex. Rotated structural grid is not only giving great access to the sun through out the whole day but also to get very good cross ventilation conditions. The last one is made due to the decision on splitting the units the allow ease of venting. With huge solar panels’ area all the needs for yearly electricity demands are being covered. Outdoor areas are made in the considerations of Jane Jacobs’ research on the crime and mix-used functions. In this project buildings are being occupied through out the whole day to reduce possible crime factors. Also view from every apartment into the common space on southern part of the site is making not only better conditions for inhabitants to spend their time enjoying the green outdoor spaces but also to keep the area safe and on sight. Construction module grid is being underline through out the big, rectangular divisions of the outdoor area floor texture. Separated, low positioned places for at-stream recreation are underlining the possibility for direct interaction with the water. The project fulfilled sustainable criteria. Complex investigated different possible combinations such as the usage of the daylight factors and indoor environmental needs (indoor climate, ventilation, venting, heating, overheating, etc.). In a result apartments fulfilled BR2020. What is whole complex headed into net-zero energy class (covering also the needs for the users’ appliances). Sun Gardens used DGNB criteria as a reference for creating better quality housing complex. In many ways it merged with sustainable demands and thus helped with creating good place to live in.

REFLECTION This project introduced new way of approaching the architecture design. Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach and integrated design the project went through different phases, delivering a lot of new knowledge, helping with the design process. Project started with the workshop orientation and volume and gave a lot of outputs to work with. Having big amount of different models helped a lot with researching on the possibilities of the site and mentioned volumes. Unfortunately, the group’s workflow was disturbed after this period, partly because of the 2nd workshop (daylight) which was too early, and partly because of the midterm critique, which despite its helpful outcome was in an unluckily late time of process. New tools like BSim, Be15, Velux’s Daylight Visualizer, LadyBug plugin for Grasshopper and many more gave variety of possibilities to research different areas of the project. Project has included several sustainable simulations although it was still not fully covered. For example, there could be more focus on the offices’ and retails’ zones. This is a mix-used complex, therefore simulations should also take into the consideration other users than inhabitants of the apartments. Although there has been a lot of daylight factors and radiations analysed in the project, there was still too little work done on the solar shadings and their optimisation. This lack of the research has concluded with simple overheating during the summer which was threated with forcing venting in the apartments instead of trying to solve it partially with shading. There could be more work done also on the matter of zero-energy buildings and technologies that could be provided. As far as the active solutions are concerned there was too little research done on other technologies. For example, even though there is a lot of new vertical, quite wind turbine technologies, there was no bigger research done on this matter. The same goes for heating or cooling solutions which would require one story below the street level. When it comes to the outdoor area, there could be more focus on the qualities between the buildings. Even though there was a lot of research and optimisation done in the aspects of atmosphere in the apartments, there could be more focus on their presentation.

F) WIND FLOW

Since the complex was divided into 4 buildings, there started to be a matter not only on the sun analysis but also wind flow. Relatively narrow corridors in the middle of the site forced to investigated how the wind can behave and will the problem of aerodynamic tunnels will appear. In this case smooth wind flow can change in to rapid boosts, making the space uncomfortable during more windy days. The simulation has been made with use of the Autodesk FLOW First iteration of the post 3rd phase project, although having many cuts and openings, delivered very good results, actually lowering the wind much in some areas. Multiple simulation ran throughout the later iterations in the

design process only brought good results. Last, final reproduction of the wind conditions proved that air flow behaves fluidly without any issues. South-east direction of the wind showed even very good cover between building A and B with circa 33% of windspeed reduction. No rapid boosts were noticed. In conclusion, project turned out not to make any wind problems for the habitants of the complex as well as for other people. Also the lack of cut-outs of the wind flow around the buildings also means that the cross-ventilation should not face any challenges made by the volume and position of the buildings.

ANALYSIS

Single-side and cross ventilations were designed to utilize natural air moving inside dwellings and offices.
