Description of problem
My name is Raphael Ferdinand, I'm a student at President's College, I'm in 5th form in the
technology stream pursuing building and technology as a subject.
President's College is well equipped with a building and technology workshop which is currently
located on the western side of the campus, both practical and theory work is being carried out in
the workshop, over the years, attending classes in the workshop have been inconvenient /
uncomfortable because of the poor ventilation and lighting flowing into the workshop and that
makes it extremely difficult in terms of carrying out practical work and sometimes even theory.
The windows on the northern side of the building currently in a miserable condition, the teacher
to precautions by securing all the windows by nailing it as to prevent it from falling, as a student
it has caused me a great deal of discomfort.
Existing windows that are situated on the northern side of the workshop.
Annotations
Possible Solution 1 – Casement Window
Solution 1 consists of a casement window, it has a sleek modern design, the casement window is
the earliest form of movable window. The casement window is extremely versatile, because of
the hinges at the upright side of the vertically hung sash, so that it opens outwards or inward
along its entire length in the manner of a door. This would make for an excellent window which
serves its initial purpose while adding even more to the room.
Possible Solution 2 – Louvre Window
Solution 2 consists of a louvre window, louvre windows are aesthetically pleasing and
compliments the room its being placed in, it has great ventilation capability as the panes open
they allow more air through which makes it very practical. The angle of the slats are also
adjustable to give maximum comfort and user adjustments to make it extremely comfortable for
each person’s personal preference. The louvre window is extremely practical and has a
comfortable and pleasing design for the suggested usage.
Chosen Solution / Functionality
Solution 2 (Louvre window) was chosen as this is the more practical decision it is also more
economical, louvre windows would compliment the given area more and add to the specific
environment being placed in. The louvre window would take less time which adds to the overall
decision, the louvre window helps to keep the original aesthetic of the room without getting rid
of the room’s original atmosphere, but rather it adds to that atmosphere and helps to develop it,
this window is overall superior to the casement window as its not as cost expensive as the first
design, and it compliments the already given environment without changing it, while the
casement window would give the room a unfamiliar feel, this solution would cost significantly
more when compared to the louvre window so it is impractical.
