EXP THREE: FINAL IMAGES AND MOVING ELEMENTS

FINAL IMAGES

A green-roof was created to aid in providing shading for the west facade of the building, which is prone to over-heating and intense glares in the late afternoon due to the sun.

A narrow, linear form enhances natural cross-ventilation , thus improving the energy efficiency of the architecture.

Two entrances are available to occupants; a main entrance and an additional entrance which leads directly to the lecture theatre. This directs circulation to prevent crowding, as well as making it convenient for students attending lectures. 

The vegetation enhances the occupant's experience by filtering the light entering the building. The form of the building is arranged so that the rotating rectilinear forms create north-facing skylights for maximum solar heat gain and daylight. 

The ground level consists of public spaces including the gallery and library, which encourages public engagement. The more private learning and staff spaces are located above and below the ground floor respectively.

MOVING ELEMENTS

The lecture theatre entrance is able to be lowered or raised according to the occupants' needs. This feature ensures safety and privacy, in addition to being a layer of insulation which prevents heat from escaping in the winter, when heating devices are used.

In addition to the green-roof, adjustable louvres further provide shading to the western facade.

Article Mashup

 The education sector is designed around “wellness” and valuing the individual in an organization. Creating an environment in which people feel a sense of belonging, where they feel empowered and are able to collaborate and interact with all levels of an organization, has demonstrated benefits of improved productivity, creativity and innovation.  As density increases, the key question is: how can we shape the built environment so as to ensure that Sydney remains one of the world’s most distinctive and liveable cities? Green space is a key hallmark of liveability. Unless a “green” building actively remediates its local environment, it’s simply not as bad as it could have been.
