July 28, 2015 Study Session Presentation- Community Center
This document discusses plans for the interior and exterior of a new community center, including proposed color schemes and mural designs for different areas. It provides construction updates on the first and second floors, showing photos of the entrance, banquet room, teen room, gymnasium, fitness room, and hallways. It also presents the results of a community survey to name the center, where the top choice was Crown Center, and considers exterior mural and color scheme options for the main entrance areas.
Shot list
This document provides a shot list for filming in Mallorca, Spain. It includes 45 shots ranging from establishing shots of the landscape from an airplane to close-ups of street signs, shops, artwork, and more. The shots cover various locations around the town center and beachfront and include people, landmarks, vehicles, plants, statues, and other elements to showcase the beauty and vibrancy of the city. The shots will be filmed in the order listed and include descriptions of camera movements and framing for each one.
Energy modelling Report
The document summarizes the existing conditions and design proposals for redesigning an existing building into a community arts space. Key points:
- The existing building lacks adequate natural light in most spaces due to a lack of windows and openings.
- The initial design proposal aims to improve natural light access by positioning spaces requiring most daylight on north-east and south-east sides and using skylights.
- Detailed daylight analysis found some spaces receiving too much light causing glare while others lacked light. Modifications like solar shades, reflective finishes, and additional windows were proposed to improve light distribution.
- The reference library design was refined with a slanted skylight, solar shades, and windows to ensure

This document provides information about a proposed development site located in Taman Damai Utama, Puchong, Malaysia. The site is an empty, undeveloped 50m x 50m plot of land surrounded by trees and residential houses under construction. The document includes a site plan, analysis of the site's potential and constraints, observations of site context, microclimate, topography, access and views. It suggests the site has potential for development due to its flat terrain and accessibility but is constrained by a lack of shade and nearby parking.
Oakville Working Draft Design Guidelines 6.25.15 reduced
The vision plan for the Oakville Triangle/Route 1 Corridor area envisions a mixed-use, transit-oriented development with the following key elements:
- Compatibility with existing neighborhoods through building height transitions and design standards.
- Enhancement of Mount Jefferson Park and new open spaces.
- Focusing taller buildings near transit stops to maximize transit access.
- Improving streetscapes, adding new streets, and enhancing transportation options and connectivity for walking, biking and transit.
- Encouraging a mix of uses including retail, office, hotel and housing with a range of affordability levels.
The plan provides recommendations to implement this vision through zoning, design standards, transportation
King Street Station 3.31.11 slide show
The construction of Jackson Plaza was progressing in March 2011. White sealant was being used to fill cracks in the concrete slab and prevent future cracks in the new terrazzo floor being installed. The design team was researching safe methods to clean the original marble walls. A new drop ceiling was being installed in the baggage area under the plaza to hide mechanical and electrical systems. Work was also being done on sidewalks, light posts, walkways, and restoring historic elements like the grand staircase and windows.
San Jose Page 1
- Cityfront Square is a mixed-use development project located in downtown San Jose bounded by Market, San Carlos and First Streets.
- The project consists of three residential towers with 220 condominiums, 245 rental units, and 950 underground parking spaces. It also includes street level retail and a shared amenity deck.
- The density is about 320 units per acre, making it a compact yet contextually sensitive project. The tallest towers reach 285 feet high, the maximum allowed on the site.

Passive House Principles for Hot Humid Climates
This document discusses passive house strategies for hot and humid climates. It begins with an overview of passive house principles, including optimizing orientation, super insulation, air sealing, and high-performance windows. It then discusses specific strategies for hot and humid climates, such as envelope strategies to minimize solar heat gain, ventilation systems with heat and moisture recovery, and passive cooling techniques like night purge ventilation. The document emphasizes that passive building design must be climate specific, noting differences in factors like heating and cooling degree days, humidity levels, and solar radiation between climates.
Architecture in Hot and humid climate
The document discusses the hot and humid climate found in parts of India. It defines the characteristics of this climate, including temperature ranges between 21-32°C, high humidity around 75%, and rainfall between 2000-5000 mm. Areas with this climate include coastal regions in peninsular India like Goa, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The document then analyzes the climate and its influence on architecture in these areas, recommending design features like large windows, shaded facades, high thermal mass and light colors to cope with the hot and humid conditions.
passive design strategies in composite & warm-humid climates.
The document discusses passive solar design considerations for mud huts in Jharkhand, India. It examines how climate impacts rural building design with a focus on the composite climate of the region. Key factors discussed include site selection, orientation, shading calculations, housing forms, window size and placement, indoor temperature balance, and settlement patterns. Climate data from Ranchi and Jamshedpur districts is analyzed to determine optimal design strategies like orientation and shading devices that minimize heat gain in summer and maximize it in winter for thermal comfort.
Architecture for hot and humid climate
The document discusses architecture and building design considerations for hot and humid climates. Some key points discussed include:
- Ensuring adequate ventilation through strategies like cross ventilation, shading, and positioning buildings to take advantage of wind.
- Using heat-resistant materials and increasing insulation where possible.
- Orienting buildings and openings to maximize airflow while minimizing heat gain and solar radiation.
- Incorporating design features like courtyards, overhangs, and higher-level vents to promote air circulation.
Basic Theory of Architecture
The document provides an introduction to the basic elements and concepts of architecture. It discusses key spatial elements like points, lines, planes and volumes that define architectural space. It describes different types of planes such as vertical wall planes, horizontal base planes that can be elevated or depressed, and overhead planes like ceilings and roofs. It explains how these different planes are used to define, articulate and organize interior and exterior spaces. Linear elements like columns, walls and structural frames are also summarized as defining edges and corners of spaces while providing structure.
