Building Science [ARC 3413]

Project 2 - Integration Project

Introduction

This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics (where necessary).

Tasks

Each student is required to incorporate one (1) A2 board for Lighting Integrated Design and one (1) A2 board for Acoustics Integrated Design and to be submitted in a clear folder (front/back). Within your building design, you are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting. As for the acoustic, you are required to identify spaces to integrate your external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using any environmental design analysis tools in your presentation board(s). Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together. All kind of proposals need to have a good justification.

Product

Conclusion

In conclusion, I’ve learnt to produce site analysis which documents, interpret and analyze the site context of my given site in Architecture Studio 2 project in relation to lighting and acoustics through this integration project. Besides that, I also gained the skills on identifying and analyzing functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.
