Reaching a Mass and Sustainability Diagrams

Progressive diagrams initially showing how the form came to life.

Beginning with higlighting the entire with an urban context of surrounding buildings

Our First Conceptual Model simply shows how I previously wanted to include a courtyard space and ramps, both of which would be closely knit to the interior spaces

A simply illustrated Sun diagram shows us the movement of the Sun in both seasons of the year We notice how the sun revolves around setting twards the pathways, making for stunning views

Then moving forward with progressively extruding the 30m parking setback and 10m setback walk-in entrance facing the Sheikh-Zayed Road

The Second Conceptual Model shows how i develop and orient the building's levels to face the setting sun

A well-illustrated wind diagram shows us exactly how the wind moves towards our building's central pathways, making for passive cooling

Progressively adding two spinal pathways that run along either side of the site, to ease access for visitors

A look at our first Abstract Model (Left) shows us initial ideas of how I wanted to split the building in to two, making for a central pathway that mmerges bothpassive cooling from winds and a good amount of light from the setting sun The Fourth Model shows us ideas of slanted roof barjeels to provide passive cooling

In respect to the main pathways, we zone out the negative space in between and extrude the form to create our first massing of the structure

Further disecting the building to three spaces to make way for secondary spaces for visitors to commute between the spines

With the majority of landuse occupied by low ad high-rise buildings, a greener biophilic space would be break for majority of area's visitors and residents.

Noticing the clear hierarchy both in an abstract figure-ground sketch and a sectional showing how theres a clear abundance of concrete and cold buildings

Creating spaces where people can learn and taste different teas together, a space to unite
