This assignment is focused on problems with daylighting and thermal comfort within modern homes. To minimise the use of mechanical devices such as air-conditioning or artificial lights to save on utilities and also help the environment through passive designs.
From this project and module in general I've broaden my horizon to the more statistical side of architecture; more data driven as this assignment required thermal and light studies with live data collection and analysis.
For this task, we chose the living space as it had a combination of both daylighting and thermal comfort challenges. Our goal was to achieve the desired effects whilst trying to keep interventions minimal with light reflection panels, widening windows, wind catchers and etc.
One of the main challenges which turned into the biggest reward was the teamwork between us and the juniors. Although awkward at first, but working with my juniors turned out really fruitful as I had a different perspective and learnt a lot from them not only architecturally, but also their work ethic as they gave this project their time and effort and completed it as we envisioned
