Name of overall project?
Thermal Comfort and Permeability Design
Post a conceptual image not architecture.
What qualities from the Theoretical framework will be experienced?
The ability to interact with others, the ability to access public spaces, ability to experience thermal comfort, ability to save water
What architectural strategies will you use?
Design bioretention spaces, propose stormwater harvesting, utilize porous materials for groundfloor
Post up to three thumbnail photos, zoomed from our program (granada, olot, etc.).
“Where” in this experience in the project?
Along an unfinished road that separates the market, and the podium design, within the Marina Del Prat Vermell neighborhood.
What is the context such as orientation to north?
Soon to be developed to a community of 28,000 residents, possible site of drug cartel within one of the neighborhood placas
What is/are the programming activities?
Seating benches, terraces, green walls, groundfloor canopy, performance lots, bicycle/motorcycle parking, removable bollards
When is this point-in-time date and time?
Possible date and time of use will be during weekends in the evening, when night culture is at its peak in Spain.
Which environmental forces are being filtered such as radiance, air pollution, sound pollution, humidity, light, air temperature, smell, etc?
Blackwater, greywater, possibly noise pollution, light
Which environmental forces are being embraced?
Extreme air temperatures, low water supply
Who is experiencing this view and who is in the background of this phenomena?
Residents of the site, visitors
List three words to describe their values?
Gritty, open minded, humble
What data of the existing condition before outside your intervention?
Underutilized spaces, canopy cover correlates to community spaces and outdoor social seating
What design goal data do you expect from your intervention?
An increase of social seating, more canopy cover, more accessibility
Choose a word such as “Love” or “Together” to place over the image.
What’s a bollard?
For sake of our icons, it might be helpful to identify specific parts of our theoretical framework that apply for the qualities.
Night culture peaks in the late summer (July), so that is most likely the time of date. If you’re doing a night shot, perhaps narrow down the acitivities that would be happening then? Are you showing a performance? Or is it more people chatting on benches?
I like the idea of filtering light and sound if you’re trying to do night activities but are concerned about the effects on the residents
