Site analysis
The sun

Direct the buildings to the best angle to make the most

of the sunlight, feed into the facades, especially glass
because they are affected and colors also which use in
exterior

Natural light is the norm, which is measured by other types of

lighting, depending on their sources.
have a positive impact on the people of the pioneers and
employees

The Wind

Winter wind

Consider the openings on the south-west façade of the

building

Affects directing building to take advantage of

Summer wind natural air and solutions to high wind speed.
Orientation of blanks based on wind direction.

Sensory (view)

On the northeastern side there are plants that we can benefit from as a view, because the project will
be built on a roof, planting plants on the roofs, there is a peace lily plant that contributes 60% to air
purification and moisture resistance at the same time

Putting in places that need

to be seen, such as places of
reading and sitting
Accessibility & circulation
Access is of great importance in the project because it is important for users in
terms of entry and exit, and it has an impact on the distribution of the zones

The location is easily accessible, especially from parking buses and other colleges

Circulation: they help people to understand the

architecture as they move through a building and spaces

Entrance: Entrance: Entering a locator for the outer space

or a building that works to distinguish in space and
separates your place from the place you will go to.
 The noise

The noise causes a high percentage of harm to

users and affects concentration and understanding
negatively, and here the noise emanates from cars Measures can be taken to reduce noise inside the building:

Not to place public corridors in reading spaces.

Not placing service devices, such a photography, near reading

spaces.

Placing lecture and meeting halls and the like in a location so that the
movement of those entering and leaving them does not affect the office
Parking service areas.

35 dB comfort level, 80 dB is the limit that should not be crossed

in professional circles ,these figures relate to providing the
appropriate atmosphere for the work of the pioneers and their
focus.
