This document proposes a case study on the S11 House in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. It will focus on how the building's orientation is a significant part of its passive design strategies for the warm, humid climate. The building orientation influences other passive techniques and governs the overall design. It will also examine how orientation affects neighboring structures and potential drawbacks. The S11 House was designed by a local architect to be energy efficient through clever passive design and materials. Its orientation prevents unnecessary heat gain and sunlight exposure while taking advantage of cool winds, while keeping the design contextual to the traditional surrounding buildings.

Research and application of climate-responsive design of traditional vernacul...IEREK Press
Chaoshan vernacular house is an important branch of Lingnan traditional houses in South China, with a long architectural history and excellent climate responsiveness to the hot-humid climate. The modern rural houses learn the traditional experiences mainly in the form but fail to inherit the climate-responsive design and wisdom of the traditional houses. This study took the widely distributed Xiashanhu houses in Chaoshan as the object, generated 128 Xishanhu parametric models by combinations of various parameters on design factors of building, opening, shading, construction, and street layout, and investigated the climate-responsive design techniques by using the parametric methods. The results show that the hall width, room width, cornice height, orientation, and wall construction are the key climate-responsive design factors oriented towards thermal performanceof Xiashanhu houses. The optimized designs are: the smaller hall width (4.05m，4.32m，4.59m), the smaller room width (2.7m，2.97m，3.24m), the larger cornice height (4.92m，5.1m), the orientation ranged from 30° north by west to 30° north by east, and the brick and concrete wall. The rationality and validity were verified by applying the optimized climate-responsive designs to the re-construction of a new rural house. Compared to the original case, the thermal performance is significantly improved by 5.18-9.98%. A detailed discussion was also provided on considering the actual situation and needs of the modern buildings in the process of "using the past for the present." This study is believed to provide valuable references for the research and modern applications of climate-responsive designs of traditional vernacular houses. It also contributes to the preservation of architectural and cultural regional characters and the inheritance of architectural climate responsiveness in contemporary times.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Responding to Warm and Humid Climate using Building Orientation as one
of the Passive Design Strategies of S11 House in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Research Question(s):
Question 1: Why is building orientation a significant part of S11 House’s passive design?
Question 2: How does the building orientation influence other passive design strategies?
Question 3: How does this strategy govern the overall design of the building?
Question 4: How does the building orientation affect the neighbouring structures?
Question 5: What are the drawbacks encountered when using this strategy in the S11 House?
3. Summary of the topic
To design a sustainable building is to consider the environmental impacts without denying human comfort. Therefore,
the current architecture now integrates both nature and context. Through multiple techniques and the advent of strong
historical architecture, various buildings now exhibits a message of cultural relevancy and the unity between
architecture and user.
The chosen site is the S11 House located amidst the bungalows in Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. The S11 House is
designed to be as efficient as possible through the use of clever passive design and material efficiency. The architect
is local so with the abundance of experience designing for buildings in Malaysia, he carefully designs this house to be
as energy efficient as possible in this warm tropical climate country. The details we are delving into is the building
orientation of the S11 House that the architect had intended with the design of this house in relation with the climate to
prevent unnecessary heat gain, exposure to sunlight, invasion of privacy while taking in the cool air from the wind rose.
Being a bungalow in the midst of a residential area, the architect must also keep the building contextual with several
typologies similar to the older buildings around the area. These typologies actually matter as the designs are traditional
methods of passive design. The architect takes the contextual typologies of neighbouring houses and blends it into his
own design for the S11 House where he bridges the gap of nature with efficient passive design to bring the natural
cooling elements into the S11 House.
