Informational City
Since the theory behind this
project is the contemporary
production in globalization era,
sustainability has a big role here.
To achieve minimum used
energy and natural sources,
form was shaped according to
the environmental parameters
through
solar
irradiation
analysis, wind analysis, shade &
shadow analysis, space syntax
etc.
According to the solar analysis,
apertures are designed and
amount of them is optimized to
get maximum solar energy;
because the site is in London
and most of the year, London
gets low amount of sunlight.
According to the shade-shadow
analysis, spaces are determined
because according to the
program of the building, we
need both spaces which are
undershade and non-shaded.
Therefore, arrangement of the
spaces is shaped accordingly.
According
to
space-syntax
analysis, functions are defined
and proximity is the major
parameter to be able to decide
on the arrangement of the
spaces.
