Created and deployed scripts for extracting area room information from a database into BIM platforms as building blocks for massing and planning. Produced environmental analysis report, advising passive strategies for solar radiation and wind mitigation.
The aim of this project was to provide a governmental building icon that would transmit a message of efficiency and elegance. Therefore, the project mass has a curved recess shape to provide shade to the public convention terrace and ground atrium. Within this idea, the tower is a curved recess mantle, from the atrium to the top. What’s more, a parametric solar radiation screen was implemented to achieve the most effective shading to the glass openings, while reducing heat accumulation. Finally, this achieved the most openness toward views of the Persian Gulf, while covering the solar heated parts of the facades.
This competition proposal for an organic shaped 40 storey tower presented a challenge to deliver area optimization and facade efficiency. In response to this challenge, I created a workflow integrating scripts to successfully tackle the following issues: massing modelling, environmental analysis, view analysis, panelling and solar radiation assessment, interior design, 3d printing and laser cutting, and area calculations output.
Because the script originated for the competition and later, the project, we were able to reduce the direct solar radiation gain to 68% in the final design proposal and to optimize the marketable floor area with an shareable excel output. This studies, paired with careful and experienced design skills were crucial to the positive outcome of
