Project 1: Lighting and Acoustic Performance Evaluation & Design

 

MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES

 

Recognize the relevance of design implications on the acoustic and lighting environments.

Explain the terminologies used in architectural acoustics and lighting.

 

  • Describe design of spaces free from glare, lit with proper selection of light sources, including day lighting strategies that can be applied to designs to create more sustainable designs.

  • Exemplify suitable light sources to create intended or desired ambiance.

  • Calculate the required amounts of external opening required to provide adequate internal illumination levels

  • for simple designs and apply knowledge to creatively introduce daylight into interior spaces without bringingin heat.

  • Design simple acoustically-compatible spaces that enhance sound qualities in spaces while exploring noise reduction method to achieve required reverberation time.

 

The aim of project is to expose and introduce students to identify the characteristics and functional requirements of day-lighting and lighting requirement, and indoor and outdoor acoustic requirements in a suggested space. To critically report and analyze the space by using proper research methodology and comparison with precedents. The aim of the assignment is on the practical application and testing methods of various lighting performance and various building materials in terms of acoustic performance.

Project 2: Integration with Design Studio V

 

 

 

Each student is required to incorporate 1A2 for Lighting Integrated Design and 1A2 for Acoustics Integrated Design boards and submit in a clear folder (front/back). Within your building design, you are required to identify spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting and for your acoustic you are required to identify spaces to integrate your external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using Ecotect or any other environmental design analysis tools in your presentation board(s). Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together.
