17. SELECTED DESIGN STRATEGIES
 Passive solar heating
Thermal mass effects
Dehumification
Natural ventilation
 orientation of the building 12.5° from north

18. Construction materials:
 Suggested materials include glass, treated timber, cement
product, Bricks, stones, concrete, Gypsum, Steel
 beams, floors, columns should be able to resist fire for
not less than two hour
 Floor finishing materials include terrazzo, sand cement
screed, and tiles
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

19. Building layout and orientation on site:
Buildings will be organized to allow a clear air circulation and
natural light to every space. And oriented at an angle of 12.5°
from north
Roofs:
Fire resistant timber or steel trusses to be applied and tiles roof
covering material to control heat gain/lost
Climatic and environmental considerations:
Building elements like doors and windows should be positioned
to the building to encourage natural ventilation.
Also the use of shading device should be employed where
necessary

CASE STUDY and prototype design
Case 1: GRIESHOFGASSE, by
HELMUT WIMMER

22.  The building have been planed in east
and west orientation..
 but orientation toward hot sun and
heavy rain, the orientation can be rotate
that may be give positive value.
 also the building have good access of
day light and breeze through terrace
garden and window the building have 4
different types of house, that is of
variations expressed externally by shear
end walls that hold up the cantilevers.
 The surfaces cut away to open up
double height terrace gardens at the
corners is the nice idea.

23. CASE STUDY CASE STUDY and prototype design
Case 3: VIVA TOWER: A mixed used building found in Dar es salaam situated
near city center Posta and near another mixed use
building Uhuru heights along Bibi Titi road
this building is
located along the road
just as the proposed
site for the proposed
Victoria project at
Victoria.
viva towers has
parking spaces within
the building which
allow many of its users
to park their cars

24. Maison Loucheur (1928-9)
designed by Le Corbusier
A combination of folding
furniture and sliding walls
allows different configurations
for day and night.
Le Corbusier argues that the
purchaser is paying for 46m2
of space but through the
cleverness of the design is
actually getting 71m2 of
effective space.
