SOlAR | SOl RESIDENCE - lIVE

Guangshan Lily Pan

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The new CCDU plan shows precincts dedicated to different types of function. But does the new city plan for Christchurch need to be zoned this way? Or zoned at all? Our proposal is for a small self-sustaining city block that joins work play and live. The idea is to plant this prototype then allow it to grow and spread throughout the city. The work play live scheme allows people to access all three within walking distance from destination to destination. These three functions have been connected together with green paths that cut across the site and multifunctional blocks that overlap the different functions. Our site is located within the green belt. The green belt reinforces the Christchurch reputation of being the Garden City. But instead of just a green empty piece of land, our proposal is for architecture and green to have a symbiotic relationship. The building masses within the block were derived from solar analysis and the many solar studies. The forms have been morphed and angled to optimize solar access on its surface. The building form is cut in the middle to create a central garden to bring more light into the middle of the building, and to connect to the green path. The rebuilding of Christchurch has opened up many job opportunities, many workers throughout NZ are moving into Christchurch to be a part of the rebuild. Christchurch city has many suburban 3 bedroom housing, but there is not enough accommodation for single housing, or temporary housing. My project will be housing for the workers who are planning to stay temporarily in Christchurch, or are planning to buy a larger home in Christchurch, but need a temporary place to stay. My residential apartment block consists of 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, with two public living areas on each floor.

INTERSECTION POINTS TO GH SCRIPTING

From the Overlays, points of intersection is extracted. Curves are then created between 2 points to be arranged into closed geomestadium tries. These are then put through Rhinos script logic called GECO and Galopagos The function of the script is to extrude the ground plan of the buildings to a set maximum height(21m) and then to be analysed as a volume to calculate the solar acess which morphs the surfaces of the volumes according to the extracted data(RGB).

On top of our groups chosen site, Weve overlayed 3 context specific grid structures: Radial Grid - Harmoniszes the zoning system of green belt to the heart of inovation precinct by introducing alleyways that conbus interchange nects the 2 sides. Solar Axis - 45 tilt of the CBD grid which allows optimum solar access to the streetscape. Old CBD Grid - Bringing the traditional grid structure used in green belt Christchurch.

Final conceptual arrangement

The final form that we recieved from this approach is divided from according to the colour above. Magenta being the area that the group will divide and further develop and Grey being the potential buildup for post development.

VOlUME ARRANGEMENT / PATHWAY
From the initial volume extracted from the Rhino script, along the radial grid Weve developed cuts into the site. These cuts affected the placements of the mixed use spaces which were point of interest other than our primary functions.

PROPOSAl

green belt

innovation precinct

Our site is located within the Green Belt, in the proposed innovation precinct

The pathways are design to open up towards the northern eastern side to have a welcoming impression. Embracing the public from the Green belt and guiding them inwards to the inner complex.

Rec centre - Takes the orange volume for its low and wide properties. Swimming pool, Bball courts, etc becomes well suited. Office - Squashed in the middle, the office has the work that mediates between live and play Residential - Tall and decent volume to accomodate workers both in and out of the precinct. Orientated towards the CBD for the increased visual stance.

Daylight decays exponentially with room depth, so the building form should be reasonably shallow.

Maximum depth of a room for beneficial daylight with windows on one side only is twice the height of the room.

Maximum depth of a room with windows on opposite sides is five times the height of the room.

At low latitudes, the depth of the internal light shelves can be extended to block direct sunlight coming through the clerestory. At higher latitudes and with west and east facing rooms, a light shelf may let some direct sunlight (low solar elevations) penetrate the interior. Tilting the shelf downwards will reduce the amount of light reflected to the ceiling. Upward tilt will improve penetration of reflected daylight and reduce shading effects. The ceiling reflects the light by having a smooth surface finish, and perhaps slope. The penetration of light from a light shelf system depends on the ceiling slope. A gable typed ceiling that slopes upwards from the window towards the centre of the building will dramatically increase the depth to which light is reflected into the space.

EXTERNAl HORIZONTAl lOUVRES

6 5

Horizontal louvres are used in the north facing windows. Louvres may obstruct, absorb, reflect and or transmit solar radiation. Horizontal blinds in a horizontal position can receive light from the sun sky and ground. Upward tilted slats transmit light primarily from the ground surface.
WEEKS

INTERNAl BlINDS
Internal blinds are generally movable, but creates more overheating in the room compared to external blinds. They are easily maintained and reduce glare.
WEEKS

HIGH ANGlE SUMMER SUN

Projecting light-shelves guide daylight through the upper facade into the interior, protecting the lower window area from the high summer sun. Interior light-shelves offer better protection against low sunlight entering through fanlight areas. However, in summer, incident heat is trapped in the room interior

SUNPATH DIAGRAMS
Waldram principle : Flat projection on plan of the complete hemisphere. This method of projection is particularly suited to estimate the heat radiation on vertical surfaces.

EXTERNAl OVERHANG

EXTERNAl VERTICAl lOUVRES

Vertical louvres are usually used in the east and west facing windows, because they do not protect well from high angle sun. They can be motorized for optimum shading.

Fixed systems are usually designed for solar shading, but could reduce day lighting. Operable systems can be used to control thermal gains and protect against glare and redirect daylight. A constantly moving louvre system that changes as the sun angle changes throughout the day.

lOW ANGlE WINTER SUN

Low- angled winter sun is able to penetrate easily through fanlight areas. An additional shading device is necessary for lower window areas when the sun is low. In both winter and summer, the lower window area should be protected by additional shading.

REFlECTIVITY OF lIGHT ON MATERIAlS

The surface characteristics of the transparent and reflecting materials determine the type of reflection or transmittance. Reflected light can either be directed or scattered. Similarly, the transmitted light is directed or scattered. The result is often a combination of reflection and transmittance since both types of reflection and transmittance occur in conjunction.
