The round table was a great opportunity for us to obtain an insight to how our projects were developing and may be received come degree show. A day of presentations in which we presented to industry professionals and the school principal. Our presentations where followed by feedback giving us plenty to takeaway and work on. For me it was a good opportunity to reflect on how big a project i am attempting and that some aspects may have to be scaled back. All in all a good experience all be it a long day.
This rough sketch is exploring the idea of multistorey levels with access for cars going under the existing road and the existing road being converted to pedestrian access.
This is a sketch exploring the idea for highrise windows that have shutters that open and shut depending on quality of solar gain. When solar gain is viable in day light hours shutters will be open and have solar panels exposed.
Exploring the idea of combining a highrise, solar gain and wind.
These rough sketches are looking at the development of vertical farming in which plants growth is enhanced with the exposure to light 24hours a day. In day light hours crops will face outwards to the south for maximum sunlight and at night will be rotated inwards to receive artificial light. All this increasing crop yield and reducing the amount of produce being imported to the community.
Initial sketches looking at multilayers.
Rough sketch of site showing new family homes in the forefront and highrise accommodation in the background.
Exloring how light travels between layers and maximising use of space.
Reclaiming Materials and trying to keep a sense of conservation and historial importance to the site.
Looking at the possibility of growing fruit trees between the family homes in earth which will also help to insulate the building.
