The New College Florida Challenge by Center for Hydro-generated Urbanism

The New College Florida Challenge

OCTOBER 2022 Professor Martha Kohen and UF Graduate Students

The Imperative of Finding Shade

The course has accepted the invitation of NCF to adopt the three campuses in Sarasota NCF challenge as a setting for a case study in the course. Students located in Gainesville, Orlando New York and Jacksonville studios have contributed to this case study. We have studied the beneficial effects of shade in the energy equation both for buildings and public open spaces, focusing through different teams on architectural design global selections , public space in different climates, the use of botanical support systems, facades and roofs solutions.

For the case study, the class formed three teams focusing on the particular conditions of New College Florida, assessing its coastal exposure risks, the hurricane wind design compliance, the dispersed configuration of the buildings on Campus and its connections though open spaces, as well as the very varied nature of the built stock.

In this instance the teams addressed the issues by identifying relevant precedents and attempting to formulate Shading Strategies that would contemplate the specific conditions of the case study. The intention is to provide a wide range of possibilities to initiate the consideration of the subject as a very important aspect of the future Master Planning development for the New College

WATERFRONT SHADING

By: Natalie Bergeron + Stephanie Roberts

The waterfront context of this project, The Wave, requires unique solutions to incorporating shading techniques.

A predominant component of being located along the west coast of Florida is the viewing of sunsets. With New College occupying this coastal edge, the setting sun’s horizon is water. Therefore, this proposal enhances this viewing experience with both shade and seating. The horizontal fins provide an overhead condition to filter harsh sunlight while the benches below facilitate a moment of pause.

Also, the filigree quality of the roof offers both a temporal shading strategy and the passage of wind, a cooling strategy for the occupants.

Lastly, there is consideration for the threshold between land and sea. This relationship is continuously changing due to factors such as sea level rise and storm surge. This proposal takes these into account as it is raised above the existing landscape to provide the space for water below.

The parti drew inspiration from these factors and is a reaction to the ocean, an integral part of our relationship to the context, thus being The Wave.

SHADED CIRCULATION

Sidewalks with shade structures and trees support the social life of main streets, local communities, and campuses. Shade and seating, together, support healthy communities, socially and economically. The Florida sun, year-round, is one of the most intense in the country as such, shade is essential to foster healthy social lives and wellbeing in connection with the outdoors.

Highlighted sidewalks indicate where shade would be most needed.

Necessity of Identity: a Design Opportunity

The ellipse, defined by shading needs, could in turn become a central symbol and gathering area for New College's sprawling campus.

An opportunity to consider for future Master Planning strategies.

Highlighted sidewalks indicate where shade would be most needed.

Central Ellipse walkway could be widened to create a central visual identifier and meeting place.

Case study-shading with palm tree

The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem.

This shading structure is constructed using FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer). This material is considered as a sustainable alternative because of its long lifespan and lower carbon footprint for production and maintenance.

Kyushu Sangyo University (KSU) is located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. This is the redevelopment project of open-space in KSU.

Studying how to create a street for the flow of people and a reservoir room for activity and rest was the main goal of the designers of the Open Space.

According to the landscape designers, the Open Space (central circulation) is composed of streets and reservoirs. These borders are organically shaped. A bridge was built over the waterway, and both sides were planted with a variety of plants. Floating on the Central Open Space is a cloud-like pergola that serves as a landmark and a shading device element for students.

A lightweight aluminum "trellis" composed of curving columns and surfaces covers the building's structure, reducing solar gain by 30 percent.

The building is connected to the remainder of the campus by pedestrian walkways, and a road surrounds the lake with trees on either side.

Constructed Shade Structure Concepts

The following slides consist of ideas formulated by a group of design students. Each proposal offers different types of shading and can be adapted for sidewalks, seating areas, and building entry points. Each are intended to offer a cool respite from the Florida sun and give students and faculty of the New College campus a place to feel comfortable outdoors.

RETROFIT SHADING

Adaptive and site-specific architectural solutions by Leonora Fallon, Kyle O'Quinn, and Ray Wincko.

Sarasota Highschool, Paul Rudolph

Climatically Responsive Retrofits:

Plants, Pergolas, Porticos

The following are generally site-specific solutions to complement existing architecture and provide shade.

Tree canopy cover is one of the most effective mitigating factors to combat the heat crisis we face, as well as supporting local ecology and resilience.

Sarasota’s hardiness zones are 9b and 10a along the coast.

We advise consulting the University of Florida’s ‘Florida Friendly Plant Guide’ to select species that will do well to shade and enhance the architecture around New College campus.

We offer some specific species recommendations in the following slides.

Using similar trees and architectural attenuations to sun throughout the campus will also create a feeling of continuity and more cohesive visual identity.

These trees are visually dynamic as well as drought tolerant and thrive in full sun or partially shaded conditions.

Additive Aperture Shading Techniques

- We can address heat gain in apertures/windows with the addition of screened facades and protruding overhangs

- Acknowledging the context of a building and the orientation of faces that receive the most heat

- Discerning between systems regarding their effectiveness against different types of sun [East|West or North|South]

- Adjusting or preserving the character of a building’s façade and how it may receive these systems

- Southern faces receive prolonged, generally vertical sunlight

- Eastern and Western faces receive more horizontal, harsher light at sunrise and sunset

Example Additive Systems that Reduce Exposure

Vertical screen facade of the Leawood Speculative Office southern face mitigates direct , vertical light. Leawood Speculative Office. El Dorado Design.

Tilted vertical screen facade of the Leawood Speculative Office western face mitigates angled horizontal light. Leawood Speculative Office. El Dorado Design.
