Assignment 02:
Passive Green Building Strategies Report
Coorporating with Architecture Design Studio, this assignment assigning student to develop p passive and active green building strategies into the building of our studio final design.
Turning our final building more greener, a sieries of thinking should be made on increasing the efficiency of resource use – energy, water, and materials – while reducing building impact on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal to ensure our building was designed and operated to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on its surroundings.
The objectives of this project are as follows:
1. To analyze theories and principles of passive green building design strategies.
2. To integrate understanding of sustainable design strategies in the development of architectural design
Students are expected to be able to:
1. Analyze passive sustainable design strategies in relation to climate and culture and compare their impact on space and user experience.
2. Employ appropriate sustainable strategies in final architectural design.
Final Outcome
The site for ADV was located at the city center of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Malaysia located on euqator having a typical tropical climate give alot of atvantages of the to the local building design as the weather and temperature remain more consistant through out the year. Yet, what need to be consider will be mainly on the natural daylighting and ventilation to lower down the energy demand of the building.
To fuse my building into the site, some technique have been applied on the building massing, building orientation, facade design and water harvesting and landscaping strategies.
For me, I proud to mention that along this project I have extract the genius loci and applied it onto the building as mt green strategies which killing tow bird with one stone; preserving the local culture of the site as my deisgn intention, and achieve a green builiding with the green strategies
Reflection
Along project 02, i remember what my tutor Ar. Axxu said: "A success building green strategies must go with the building design simaltaneously". Yet green strategies is no just "louvers" to cover the uglyness of our building, green strategies is one of the crucial component to allow the building operate in lower carbon footprint and environmental friendly by lower the entire building electric demand and put consideration of the building life-cycle.
This project give me an awareness that when little wastage come togather will end up energy that able to sustain a complete community. Green strategies is teh key of the future, what we have now is not long lasting. When each part of the world keep developing, go green is the only way to save our beautiful nature from being ruin.
Love nature, love us.
Go greener and more sustainable !
