 WORKSHOP TASK:

Environmental systems can be used as design strategies and to exploit architectural interventions. Today’s task is to design one particular building within your site and to use one of the following topics as design idea. Size, place and form are to be chosen independently. Try to make the design as extreme/thoroughgoing as possible.

Mitigation of heat stress:
> Winds and Ventilation: Evaporative Cooling, Air Chimney, Geothermic Wind Exchange
> Sun and Shade

Mitigation of material waste:
> Flows and Fluxes: United Bottle, Water-Cycles, Recycling (Cradle to Cradle)

Learning from the past:
> Reinterpreting the Vernacular (among others, vernacular architecture revels climatic conditions)
