Syllabus Construction and environmental and technological systems for medium scale, clear span architectural projects and methods of architectural communication.

Introduction The design of successful buildings requires the integration of numerous systems and knowledge areas. This unit aims to provide background in a number of areas to promote integration into design of:

Construction Systems: introduction to Cladding systems, stability in medium-span buildings, long span roof systems and tilt slab construction. Basic water supply requirements and waste water removal. Artificial Air Movement: Elements of mechanical services; Mechanical system alternatives; Air quality. Acoustics: introduction to building acoustics, noise control, sound insulation and transmission, reverberation, barriers, reflectors and absorbers. Lighting: introduction to architectural lighting, calculation of simple day lighting schemes, colour and the vision system.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Identify appropriate construction, environmental and management systems for application in the design of a low rise, medium scale, clear span project

2 Collect and synthesise information relevant to construction, environmental and management systems required at relevant stages of design of a moderately complex medium scale medium rise project

3 Evaluate and integrate appropriate construction, environmental and management systems in a low rise, medium scale, clear span project

4 Work collaboratively to produce design development documents for a moderately complex medium scale medium rise project

Apply discipline knowledge Thinking skills (use analytical skills to solve problems)

Information skills (confidence to investigate new ideas)

Communication skills Technology skillsLearning how to learn (apply principles learnt to new situations) (confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems)

International perspective (value the perspectives of others)

Cultural understanding (value the perspectives of others)

Professional Skills (work independently and as a team) (plan own work)

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Aim: To demonstrate your ability to apply your knowledge of air-conditioning systems and basic hydraulic services by reviewing examples of such installations and re-examining part of your Architectural Design 202 project.

2. Aim: Design appropriate roof/wall/floor systems to enclose space surrounding designated portions of a selected design project from this semester’s Architectural Discourse and Spatial Intelligence Studio project (medium span project) or from the medium span project in Architectural Design 202. You are required to develop the architecture as you proceed.

3. The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of how to incorporate aspects of lighting and acoustics into your design proposal. Depending on your design, you will need to demonstrate via three annotated A3 panels, how and where aspects of artificial, natural lighting and acoustics have been integrated into the design.

Pass requirements

You must submit all assignment work and achieve a minimum 50% grade to pass this unit.

Late submissions will attract a 10% penalty per day. This means that for Assignment One you will lose 3 marks a day; for Assignment two you will lose 4 marks a day and for Assignment three you will lose 3 marks a day. If you submit your assignment more than 7 days late it will not be marked. Please also see the standard late Assessment Policy.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission (eg a mark

equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

http://students.curtin.edu.au/administration/

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Although an application for assessment may be accepted up to five working days after the due date for the assessment, it is important to understand that this will only be permitted under exceptional circumstances such as the student being in hospital and unable to access the Internet. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, all applications for extensions MUST be received before, and not on, the assessment date. These strict requirements are not intended to punish students who have genuine reasons for requiring an extension but to ensure that the vast majority of students who submit work on the due date, despite work commitments and other unit submission commitments making the meeting of submission dates inconvenient, are fairly treated.

Deferred assessments

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check your OASIS email for details.

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments, if granted by the Board of Examiners, will have a due date or be held between 27/07/2015 and 31/07/2015 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

It is the responsibility of students to be available to complete the requirements of a supplementary assessment. If your results show that you have been granted a supplementary assessment you should immediately check your OASIS email for details.

Referencing style

The referencing style for this unit is Chicago.

More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: library.curtin.edu.au.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating)

Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

For more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism, refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au.

Assessment Air Movement and Hydraulics

Thermal comfort and amenity

Although it is most desirable to be able to create thermal comfort in our buildings without the use of air conditioning, in buildings where large numbers of people gather and the building has a low external surface area-to-volume ratio (i.e. internal load dominated buildings) air conditioning is typically required. However design does have an impact in these types of buildings on the demand made on the air-conditioning system.

Aim: To demonstrate your ability to apply your knowledge of air-conditioning systems and basic hydraulic services by

reviewing examples of such installations and re-examining part of your Architecture Studio 202 project. This will involve re assessing two areas of your previous design – one is a significant space/s that is available to the public and requires air conditioning and the other is the public toilet area.

Part A – Air-conditioning system

Requirements:

1. Identify the elements of your design that may negatively impact on the heating and/or cooling demands in the public space. Reassess those elements and suggest how they could be amended to retain the design intent but reduce the negative impact on heating and/or cooling demands.

2. Identify the main components of your chosen air conditioning system (it cannot be a wall mounted room unit) that are to be incorporated in your amended design. Allocate the spaces needed for the system, for ducting and for air diffusers and return air grills.

3. Identify the thermal zones that you would expect in order to make efficient use of the air conditioning system

Submission:

1. Identify relevant examples and summarize your findings

2. Apply your findings to your project through:

Notated plan and elevations (scale 1:100) that show how you have amended your design to reduce negative impacts on the heating and/or cooling demands

Notated diagram (on plan and section) that explains how the air that is blown into the public space is heated and cooled (scale 1:100)

A sketch of the zones created in the public spaces to make efficient use of air conditioning.

An explanation of where and what type of ducting may be used between the air handling unit and the air outlets in the public spaces.

A description of the types of air outlets in the space.

A diagram of the return air system

Part B – Services in toilet areas

Requirements:

1. Identify the numbers of toilets and hand basins in your public toilet area. Confirm that the numbers provided are in accordance with the minimum requirements of the BCA.

2. Identify the contours of the site and the connection point to the main sewer at the property boundary. If there is no main sewer connection point your tutor will establish a hypothetical connection point. Establish the Invert level at the connection point and the finished floor level in the toilet area.

3. What is the system of ventilation in the public toilet area?

Submission:

1. Notated plan showing each fixture connected to the sewer line, which in turn connects to the main sewer connection point with size of pipes and fall of pipes noted.

2. A single line Isometric drawing showing the layout of waste pipes (include vent pipe and disconnector gully) and water supply pipes (hot and/or cold) for one water closet and one hand basin in the public toilet area.

3. A diagram of the ventilation of the public toilet area.





Assessment Construction Systems

Introduction

This design development workshop project is concerned with some of the more significant issues of building as they influence and relate to the making of architecture. That is, we will be concerning ourselves with the direct relationships between structure, materials, means of construction and architectural design.

At the end of this project we expect that you will be able to demonstrate:

1. Your ability to carry out design development for a modest sized project that integrates resolved structural systems and materials selections into the architectural design process;

2. An understanding of construction and environmental and technological systems for medium scale, clear span architectural projects and methods of architectural communication.

Brief

Your Task:

Design appropriate roof/wall/floor systems to enclose space surrounding designated portions of a selected design project from this semester’s Architectural Discourse and Spatial Intelligence Studio project (medium span project) or from the medium span project in Architectural Design 202. You are required to develop the architecture as you proceed. We never stop being an architect.

Site

The site designated for the project in either your Architectural Design 202 or Architectural Discourse and Spatial Intelligence Studio.

The roof:

1. Will provide shelter from the rain and the sun for the building.

2. Will be of framed construction with cladding of a material of your choice. However, you may not use tensioned fabric for the roof. You can provide skylighting to the roof area if you wish and positioned as you see fit.

3. Will negotiate and be coordinated with designated wall locations. In order to design the structural system for the roof you will need to make an acceptable proposal for the manner in which the roof system uses the wall system for structural stability, if at all. This will form part of your submission requirements – you will be required to explain this fundamental aspect of your design.

4. WILL NOT incorporate a “space frame” or “space grid” structural system.

5. Will be formed to suit a structural logic and architectural merit.

The walls:

1. We will be concerned with design developing the major wall systems within the project.

2. We will be concerned with how they interrelate with the roof and floor systems.

3. The walls may be opaque, translucent or transparent or a combination thereof. You will need to make selections for the materials that suit your design intentions.

4. Connect to the underside of the roof if and as required in an appropriate manner.

5. Will negotiate and be co-ordinated with the roof location. In order to design the structural system for the wall you will need to make an acceptable proposal for the manner in which the wall system uses the roof system for structural stability, if at all. This will form part of your submission requirements – you will be required to explain this fundamental aspect of your design.

6. May be framed or solid construction as needed. Remember that you will need to provide openings in some locations for views outwards and for people to walk through and select materials that are appropriate for the function of the space.

You will be responsible for design developing the major construction systems of the building only. All other aspects of the building and site design are beyond the scope of this project. In order to progress however, you will of course need to make some assumptions that may not have been developed during the course of the Design Studio.

GENERAL

Your design development will fulfil the brief and include but not be limited to address the appropriate:

1. Integration of structural systems;

2. Selection of materials for those structural systems;

3. Use of selected cladding materials;

4. 3-dimensional composition of the structure and cladding; and





5. Efficient and elegant design development and detailing of the walling, roofing and floor elements and their connections.

Services

Allow for electrical, communications and lighting wiring to be strategically reticulated throughout the wall and roof as required.

Design of Form

You are free to design the roof and walls as you see fit following the principles established in the design studio project. Of course we hope that you consider logic at the same time as any formal manipulation in any development of the design.

Important Notes

Remember – in designing and exploiting the properties of your materials and structural systems try to do the most with the least.

Never forget you are an architect

Group Work

For this project work you will in pairs.

Assessment

You will be assessed on:

1. Your ability to understand the brief;

2. The successful integration of appropriate structural systems with cladding materials;

3. Whether it is a worthwhile piece of architecture

4. The quality of the design and detailing of the structural and cladding systems;

5. The extent of your developmental work; and

6. The communication of the above through drawings and models.

Generally, in beginning to address the above criteria you should ask yourself the following questions:

Clarity of Idea

Is a structural concept clearly articulated and communicated? How well has the structural concept been integrated within the building form and material?

Materiality

Is there an understanding of the prescribed material and its properties? How successfully has the form and detailing been resolved with respect to the limitations of the material?

Richness of Content

How richly have the ideas been developed? Have the inherent properties of the materials been fully exploited? Has the design concept informed the decisions of detailing in a positive way? Does the project withstand closer scrutiny? Where is the architecture?

This project is worth 40% of the total marks allocated for this unit.

Assessment Acoustics and Lighting

Aim

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of how to incorporate aspects of lighting and acoustics into your design proposal. Depending on your design, you will need to demonstrate via three annotated A3 panels, how and where aspects of artificial, natural lighting and acoustics have been integrated into the design.

In some designs such as theatre performance spaces, natural lighting would not normally be used in the actual performance space, but will be included in ancillary spaces.

Required elements

1. You are to annotate your design drawings (maximum of 3, A3 panels) to indicate materials, elements, locations and sizes (where appropriate) of the various lighting and acoustics elements within the design.

2. Include supporting calculations where appropriate to support your design intend and material selection (Reverberation Time, CIE daylight procedure).

3. Document your expected outcome of the measured implemented for the lighting and acoustical elements.
