In a group of 7, we are required to choose a case study from the list of buildings provided. Prepare a measured drawing with appropriate scale of our case study. Show all the necessary features which effect on the lighting and acoustics conditions of our case study. We should carry out an appraisal of day-lighting artificial lighting, noise and sound condition(quality and quantity) in the selected case study. Our identification of adequacy of the quantity of light and sound/noise for the case study needed to be carried out objectively.

 

Our case study site is Shalini Ganendra and we have to complete a A4 bound technical report with visuals, sketches measured drawings inclusive of the detailing and documentation together with a digital summary of work (one A2 for acoustics and one A2 for lighting).

 

By completing this project, I have learnt to explore and apply understanding of building physic eg. Lighting towards building / construction technology and building materials on existing building projects. Moreover, I am also be able to evaluate and explore the improvisation by using current material and technology in relevance to present construction industry.

Project 1 Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design

Project 2 Integration with Design Studio 5

We are required to incorporate 1A2 for Lighting Integrated Design and 1A2 for Acoustics Integrated Design boards. Within our building design, we are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting and for our acoustic we are required to identify spaces to integrate our external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and we are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using Ecotect or any other environmental design analysis tools in our presentation board(s) with calculations to resolve our design integrations solutions.

 

By completing this project, I have learnt to produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting and acoustics. . Moreover, I am also be able to identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.
