INITIAL IDEAS

DEVELOPMENT

13 columns◦ 5 are slanted

Braces to secure structure and stop twisting

STRUCTURAL

FACADESPotential Materials of office•Pine slabs•Aluminium •GRP•GRC•Fritted glass•Laminated glass

FACADE DESIGN 1

Laminated glass, height of 1.1m

Pine slabs

Triple glazing saves up to 7200W

Fritted glass (prevents too much solar gain)

FACADE DESIGN 2

Facades:• how the triple glazed glass would be attached

1) Silicone connection • bigger connection • requires less amount of

glass panels, therefore requires more silicone.

• bigger connection which doesn't meet architects needs

2) Toggle connection•Smaller connection therefore more aesthetically pleasing.•Stronger than using silicone connection

Triple Glazing

•British standards- rails have to be at least 1.1m high. (For the roof Garden)•Manufactured from laminated glass (safer)

Triple Glazing – calculating the heat loss

SERVICES – Heat loss

Total heat loss for the building = 65 kW

Giving an average ‘u value’ of ~ 0.79 Wm-2K-1

Triple glazing saves around 7000 W

ENVIRONMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE

Teamwork between all the different disciplines is essential.

Much more involved than just making it stand up! Meeting local standards is a pain. Especially when

undertaking foreign projects. About all the different parts involved in a

successful design. (u values, moments, loading) CAD software can be a challenge! But once

mastered can make the process much more efficient.

Litigation between client and contractor is key. And of course, lots of hard work.
