BUILDING SCIENCE 2 [ARC 2412] : Project 2 : Integration with Design Studio 5

Project 2 : Integration with Design Studio 5, Community Centre

Introduction

This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics (where necessary).

Objectives

The objectives of this project are as follows:

• To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design.
•  To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site analysis).
• To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary). 

Learning Outcomes

• Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting and acoustics.
• Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.
