Final Assignment – Water Cycling: Consume Representation in GH

iaac — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 01:28:31 +0000

This Final Designing Associativity project is
inspired by the Research Studio, ‘Self Sufficient
Building’. The block we are working
on is 75% empty, and we are proposing to
have a water cycling system [and other additional
systems] that will make the block
water self-sufficient in comparison to the
other blocks, and provide the natural liquid
element to its inhabitants, and possibly to
the neighboring blocks.

S4-2nd Assignment: Intelligent Building Facade’s Components

iaac — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 04:08:46 +0000

The manner in which a plant grows, spreading its leaves to the sun and receiving the maximum possible photons to initiate its metabolic process, similar is the principle of our design. The design primarily focuses on the adaptability of a building facade to harness the solar energy and use it for building systems.

The intelligence in the design involves the moving ability of the solar panels on the skin to adjust according to the incident solar radiation. Each frame is sub divided into a glazing and a solar panel system. The numerous panels together, parametrically peel out of the skin to maximize the gain in solar energy. This allows a building skin to absorb solar energy for a maximum duration in a day.
