THESIS 2011 / 2012

Hey Guys,

Okay, so we all need to actually join this group and submit your choices by THIS Friday. I am going to attach the link to join the group. Once you do this, please go to the link Prof. Voussoughian posted about the new link. There you will make your 3 choices for thesis. I thought I would post it considering how important it seems. Hope the work is going well. See you guys on Friday.

HVAC

Hey guys,

Does anyone understand the HVAC part? I am sort of confused how each system sort of works... Like, I know there has to be a cooling tower and diffusers and equipment. However, how does it all work together?? Like, I was trying to figure it out the other day in understanding what equipment I need and what it does... If you guys could just either post a picture and describe what each HVAC does, I would appreciate it since we have to figure out all that stuff by the end. Thanks!

Potential Diagrams?

I did these diagrams a while back... I was wondering if this is what you were looking for as far as program diagrams in the axon form? Just wondering. This is old as we have discussed a new scheme already for my final...

Project Evolution

The following diagrams are a representation from start to now of my concept and evolution of such. Recently, I have explored option 7 and tried to figure out a method of keeping the circulation in a straight line but have found the circulation, working in a circular motion to be more giving and able to do.

For the section / elevation diagrams, the project will start to capture the ideas of sustainability through the use of louvers or use of the floor to guard against solar gain. Each execution will not only be sustainable, but will make each "zone" or "area" more capable to see (Office spaces, administrative, community space, sports shop, etc.)

Sustainable Design - From Start to Finish

The Following boards show the progresssion and execusion of my concept. I have started with the idea of "Zones" to differentiate between the program being wet vs dry allowing passive systems to be used. The meeting and combination of these two zones then slowly are formed together through the use of ramps and general circulation.

Translation to Tranformation:

This project from my understanding has nothing to do necessarily with the program. It deals with the interlocking of these programs. The “Locker Rooms” are not critical as a programmatic element but rather a transfer from the dry atmosphere to a more relaxation area that being “Spas” or the “pool.” Much like the wet areas, this program and movement should be looked at much like a liquid. The fluidity between one zone to connect you to the next. It is this that will and should drive the project into making spaces and sculpting your project. Some of the best schemes within our class have dealt with this “1/3” issue of dealing with the site. Now looking at EVERY project, there is always and must be 3 parts to this project. Whether it is a 3 separate zone or a 2 separate zone – Both have 3 zones. In a 2 scheme zone (wet Vs. Dry), there is still the connection between the two in order to merge and unite people. Debating upon how this is done, will fuel and create not only the plan but the section as well. Only through section and plan can we underline the issues and deal with them accordingly. Both should represent all of the following 3 zones outlined and how the exterior forces (that being sustainability, site, context, circulation and neighboring buildings) start to truly sculpt our project to make our building to a successful project.

Spa's and the structure within.

I thought this was an interesting Spa done by Michael Graves at El Gouna Golf Hotel and Club. It seems to celebrate and represent structure not necessarily as a form that holds up space, but creates space through expressing arches and columns.

Sketchup Model

Hey guys,

I know from last semester there should be a general sketchup model with the building heights put into it. Would anyone be willing to share the sketchup model through a yousendit link? If so, that would be amazing. If not, it is ok. See you guys on Friday.
