Sustainable Green Home Resilient To The Changing Environment

RESEARCH

DESIGN IDEAS

CONTEXT / CLIMATE RESPONSIVE DESIGN

SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

MODULAR DESIGN??
Our design should be a solution that is flexible and can be repeatable for the given similar cases and have ability to customization as per the aesthetic taste of the family. So, definitely we should go for it.

CRITICAL REGIONALISM
IMP

INNOVATIVE / ARCHITECTURE??
Idea 1: House that can be changed with the season....just like Deciduous trees. or Metamorphosis
Idea 2: Self-sustaining Biome
Smart city concept to be incorporated if Butwal area
Idea 3: Idea from any Material Exploration/Expression


POROSITY IN ARCHITECTURE

TIME SCHEDULE ( Can we do one whole week research and one whole week invest our time in design ideas??)


I think it will be late.


Thurs- Frid: Research and finalizing site /2 days
Saturday-Sunday: Conceptualization /1-2 days
Monday-Tuesday: Planning/ 2 days, Rough 3d modeling /2 days
Wednesday: Drafting plan for 3d /1 day
Thursday-Saturday: Drafting the remaining in detail: 3 days, Ppt board planning: 3 days, 3d- Modelling: 3 days at max.
Sunday-Monday: Rendering/skp. model jpg and illustrations/ 2 days, ppt board preparation /2 days
Tuesday-Wednesday: Cushion period /2 days

RESILIENT DESIGN


Resilient = being prepared for the unexpected, about keeping safe during emergencies, and about bouncing back (and, yes, bouncing forward) from disturbances.

SITE SELECTION

PANDEMIC [ARCHITECTURE]


Smart systems?
Tactile architecture
Isolations wards??
Self-sustainable biome

DESIGN CHALLENGE & OPPORTUNITIES

BUTWAL


Design Problems:

  1. Modern RCC buildings in practice without proper design and planning. Lack of context.
  2. Dampness due to humid hot climate and homes Infested by insects like mosquitoes and others.
  3. These are urban areas so if we are consider pandemics, urban residents more exposure to infectious disease.

Opportunities:

  1. Proper planning with consideration of the climate. Need of Critical regionalism.
  2. Material selection to avoid damages due to sun and dampness. Use of Jalis in creative way.

LALITPUR


Design Problems:

  1. Identity Crisis : Conflict between Modern and Traditional building

Opportunities
1.

MUSTANG


Design problems:

  1. Flat small houses with small windows often create very dark interior. This causes more use of artificial light
  2. Located in Remote area so people living there has more chance to die if infected.


Opportunities:

  1. Introduce creative way of lighting.
  2. Use locally available resources as much as possible.

SELECTED SITE INFO
6 anna
Sufficient for sustainable biome??
Site character as per cad file not suitable for mountain region

USER INFO

Program


5 members
Probably 2 grandparents, 2 parents and a child
Max bedrooms 3 plus 2 (1 guest/ 1 isolation) ??


Storage for food??

Target Income

Cultural background

I like idea change and flexibility that house posses, and self sufficiency model so we'll try to incorporate them in our design.

Let's make a system, which is applicable in all regions as a our major concept which should address human inter dependencies ( basic needs),
and promotes self sufficiency.

Architecture of Terai region

Idea of creating Self sustaining Biome

rural and urban

Effective emergency response

Passive survivability

achieved through high levels of insulation, passive solar design features, cooling-load-avoidance strategies, natural ventilation, daylighting, and other passive design features.

Future of living???

Measures for Social Distancing

Rethink balconies
As spaces for rituals like bhaitika, sleeping, talking with neighbors, garden, porches, as outer skin

Building envelope

Fenestration

Air circulation

Thermal mass, insulation, material, width,

U value, glass(single/double layer), jalis, doors, shutters, perforated walls, grills,
Possibility of using earthen cones as new facade cooler??

Unhealthy practice of discarding locally available materials

lets see if thinking and creating solutions in macro level is feasible or not...depending on the limited time we have.


Are we going to show overall system in terms of a flowchart diagram...or illustrate in picture form

Landscaping can change micro climate of a place

Self shading geometry. circular geometry has less S/V ratio.

Water elements
Avoid stagnant water pools...becomes a breeding place for mosquitoes

Active systems will also be needed...like AC, solar panels, solar water heater
