Green Strategies in Building Design
This module opens my eyes in every aspect of a building has to be considered in terms of its spacial placement all the way to its materials. The projects comprises of two projects; one being discovering the strategies of a building, and the other being implementing those strategies in the final project of Studio IV.
The module taught me a lot of considerations to make in successfully designing a building that tick all the boxes in producing a sustainable and effective building.
Project 1
Passive Green Building Case Study
This first project required us to find out on passive design strategies of a selected building from different parts of the world differing in climate and study them. Upon looking into the buildings we chose, both buildings contain very similar strategies but differing in terms of their materiality or placements.
This project induces us to consider strategies implemented reflect on the location of the project and its climate.
Project 2
Passive Green Building Strategies Report
The final project involves applying passive strategies into the P3KU Community Garden Centre in Subang Jaya. I have applied numerous strategies in keeping with the spacial qualities I want to achieve while enhancing the building's green nature in setting the theme of embracing nature.
This project has helped a lot in adding more aspects to consider in designing the building to elevate the design as well as the quality of spaces inside and out.
