Midterm 1 |

The first midterm focused on the green elements throughout the building. For this I looked at the sun angles and wind patterns using sketchup pro and vasari to map the data. Most of the discussion was given to development of the living machines, outside the facility as an EcoDistrict strategy for the building and adjacent buildings to tie into.

Other consideration were given to the installation of Ned Kahn wind louvers added to the exterior of the building. This idea was later scrapped and replaced with general facade materials that spoke to the surround site context.

From here, I adjusted my building form slightly which will be further addressed in the next post.
