So you want to be an Architect?

This is 20% exaggerated but 100% true.

Clients that make u change ur walls 20times by 2inches is true. Designs u made in sch can defy gravity n have no budget.

What is Energy in general

Apologies for the 1st slide.. seems to have problems with the imaging.
These slides are the preliminary findings about Energy in general. The mapping and diagrams are tools that can be a reference study for future mappings

Sunshade auto extend according to orientation to sun, wall inclination, shade inclination and time of the day.

This is a continuation of the previous post(read below). Above are some examples of the translated facade. The curved facade receive more views to the outside as compared to conventional linear facade. Both of them receive the same shading values within a specific time(in this case at 10am). Below are just some videos that show the movement of the shades from 8am to 6pm.



This is the Hyperfast speed.




This is a trial to see if the sunshades auto extend and auto rotate to the suns angle to get the maximum shading. The angle is alway kept perpendicular to the sun. while the extension is kept from 0 to a maximum length of the height. Meaning to say of H is the height of 1 facade, then the length of facade L =< h ="0," l ="o.56H," l =" 0.99H."> Feel free to crit on this post

How Esplanade will look like if its using diagonal eggcrate louvres

1700 0900
1200 1400
Im working on a system of horizontal and vertical shades that retract and expand according to the sunpath. This kinetic movement allows 100% of the glazed envelope to be shaded at all times by direct sunlight.. Where the direct sun dont shine, the louvers retract back to allow views and day light in. It might look more boring than the folding rhombus of the esplanade currently.. but its definitely more efficient. Theis facade is optimised by kinetic means. The photos above might be how esplanade looks like in the hour 1700, 0900, 1200, 1400 (im sorry i dont know how to arrange in order)
