PROJECT 1
In groups of 5, we were required to choose two case studies on the application of passive sustainable design strategies within an architectural project. One of the projects was to be from a tropical climate region while the other was from a different climatic region. Then, we had to identify and compare the passive design strategies applied in both case studies including the site planning, daylighting, façade design, natural ventilation and strategic landscaping. Further analysis and elaboration on the impact of these passive strategies on the quality and spatial experience of the chosen project were also mandatory.
PROJECT 2
Individually, we were required to develop passive and active green building strategies simultaneously with our final architectural studio 6 project. Thus, this included theemployment of all passive green building strategies within our tropical building case study, done in our assignment one, wherever possible, including but not limited to site planning, day lighting, façade design, natural ventilation, strategic landscaping and other renewable energies
