Chautaqua Institute, Tempe, Arizona
Performance and Design project, the
University of Pennsylvania (2015-16)
Besides understanding the fundamentals of Environmental design, MEBD helped link the relation
between strategizing environmental parameters
and, rather importantly, to quantify the research
into a real-time architectural experiment. The following pages showcase some examples of the
exploration through the course of the experiment
and an attempt to quantify those explorations.
The New Chautaqua institute was an experimental
studio brief which focused on applied research of
environmental design strategies using parametric
design tools and simulation strategies to quantify
sustainable design in various climatic zones of the
United States, in this case, in the Hot and Arid climate of the Phoenix region in Arizona.
