Study Notes
Symbols and Signs
- Signs represent objects or concepts regardless of their actual existence; symbolic signs have arbitrary relations defined by conventional usage.
- A word can symbolize something else, e.g., Roman numeral "II" represents the number two.
Conceptualization in Architecture
- Concepts integrate context, program requirements, and beliefs; this requires creativity (10% inspiration, 90% effort).
- Key challenges include communication difficulties, lack of experience, and generating hierarchies within design.
Sustainable Architecture
- Balances resource consumption with replenishment; aims to minimize environmental impact throughout the building's lifecycle.
- In practice, it emphasizes renewable materials, limits non-renewable resources, harnesses energy efficiently, and ensures long service life.
Natural Daylighting Strategies
- Buildings should be oriented towards the sun for optimal light usage; consider the building form to maximize surface area for daylight.
- Strategies include side lighting and top lighting via various openings, with a width limitation for effective natural light use.
Energy Devices and Building Orientation
- Integrate devices like heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and solar heaters for energy efficiency.
- South-facing orientations utilize sunlight best, while north focuses on sky light. East and West orientations are less effective due to the sun's vertical path.
Daylighting and Its Effectiveness
- Daylit spaces should generally have window openings limiting to a width of 4.5 meters for optimal light distribution.
- The use of mapping tools like Trigrams and Lo' Pan can help in planning effective energy usage within properties.
Optical Illusions in Architecture
- Factors influencing depth perception, such as superposition and relative size, help architects design spaces that manipulate visual perceptions effectively.
- Elements like ceiling height standards (minimums for various floors according to PD1096) are crucial in space planning.
Problem-Solving in Architectural Design
- Architecture is a response to existing conditions viewed as problems needing solutions, reflecting both functional and broader social, political, and economic considerations in the design process.
