BUILDING SCIENCE 2 (ARC 3413)

 

Project 1 - Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design

Lighting design -  a primary element in architecture design and interior architecture. Solid volumes, enclosed spaces, colors and texture can only be appreciated fully when they are imaginatively lit.Successful buildings are those in which the lighting of the building itself and the lighting of the activities it contains together make up a unified design concept. This project is design to expose and introduce students to daylighting and lighting requirement in a suggested space.

 

 

Acoustic design  - an element which concerned with control of sound in spaces especially enclosed spaces. The requirement varies in relation to functional spaces whether it is a cinema, lecture theatre, restaurant and café or acoustical requirements for a meeting room. It is essential to preserve and enhance the desired sound and to eliminate noise and undesired sound. Prestigious buildings are those in which the acoustic of the building itself speak of the quality of the building itself. This project is design to expose and introduce students to acoustic design and acoustical requirements in a suggested space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exercise - On-Site Assignment: Lighting and Acoustic (10%)

This project aims to create students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context physical environment. It encompasses daylighting and artificial lighting systems and the strategies for internal and external noise management and room acoustics.
