Aluminum Tectonics

After designing the panel on CAD, and doing some card models of it, we needed to test how the design would work with the folds, as well as how flexible it is. We had left a gap between the circles

Aluminium Tectonics – Kimran Farooq

As a group we have decided to take forward the design below and experiment with it. The design consists of simple folded triangular shapes which extend from the facade, blocking the sun’s rays from entering the building and more importantly,

Fatima Ladak // Competition Brief Precedents

In order to understand the structure and content required within competition briefs, I looked at the AIA Handbook of Architectural Design Competitions. This set out a structure of 3 sections: 1. Procedural Rules 2. The Project Program 3. Submission Requirements I also looked at

Fatima Ladak // Light in Mosques

While developing the competition brief, I have looked at the concept of qualities of light within spiritual spaces. It is evident that light has been a key consideration for hundreds of years within mosque architecture, as the directionality is said

Our design development over the last 6-8 weeks has changed through many processes and ideas with discussions and workshops over cross year groups. However, you cant underestimate the importance of the client and the users needs. We, as a group

Keane Yuen | Zero Carbon Design

The formative review in December was very helpful in that it allowed us to explain the process and techniques we have learned about IES in detail. This gave us confidence in our skills for the next stage of the module.
