The Packet : Enhancing Visual Comfort Through Responsive Facade in Malaysia Office Building

-

 Building occupants prefer spaces with good daylight distribution for their living and working spaces. It is particularly important in a workspace that sunlight is present for indoor illumination in order to affect worker satisfaction, performance, and productivity (Nazzal, 2005). It could be a disadvantage for optimal visual conditions to have a lot of daylight available in the building, not only because of psychological reactions to too much sunlight, but also because of the change of daylight properties over time. Natural daylight in a building such as workspace is highly detrimental to the productivity of the occupant and possibilities to the performance of an organization. In a tropical climate, the sky is predominantly intermediate, with inconsistent clouds, which will influence the amount of direct sunlight and daylight available. (Lim, 2014).

Every city has back lanes, which are required by law as a component of traffic circulation. Due to its lack of maintenance, back lanes have become forgotten public spaces since back lanes are intended as service roads. Due to the laneway being hidden from public view, pedestrian movement is discouraged since it is unsafe. There is often a negative stereotype associated with the back lane, such as being annoying, disgusting, and narrow (Wan Ismail & Ching, 2016). Based on the Kuala Lumpur Tourism Master Plan 2015-2025, which stresses the revival of forgotten spaces. However, in any urban design, in accordance with local regulations, back lanes are mandatory. In order to prevent traffic congestion, back lanes must be inserted between rows of houses or shops. As well as being an essential, they are also used as a yard for servicing. There are a number of activities taking place in back lanes, including rubbish collection and delivery. Other than that, it also serves as a firebreak, pr...

TINEL VACATION HOUSE, CROATIA by SODA ARCHITEKTI tinel vacation house was designed by soda architect in Korčula, croatia. the house started to construct on 2015 and finished on 2017. The steep and narrow plot with relatively small area and northern slope lead to architectural solutions creating a pleasant living environment.  The design meets the original value of local architectural heritage such as simplicity,  functionality and appropriate human scale. The buildings are designed in order to achieve new values in accordance with today's lifestyle. One of the goals was setting the appropriate human scale, building proportions and size. In such a steep terrain the objective was to make the  building the part of the landscape. It is designed as a half-buried building in simple, small volumes that are interconnected in such a way to realize the rich spatial relationships between inner and outer space. Given all of the above, flat roofs are elements that allow maximum use of...

Coworking Space and Retail Area : Maximize Daylight Intensity Throught Facade Design and Performance

Daylight in the building not just for physiological and physiological cause, but also for energy saving that could be obtained through a suitable daylight and an optimal integration between daylight and electrical light and cooling system. One of the keys to passive design is a natural daylight that can impact on building and occupant performance. A kinetic façade allows movement on a building's surface by changing dynamic instead being static or fixed. A façade that not only provides aesthetic value to the structure, but also responds to the current luminance and illuminance in the building, maximizing natural lighting comfort for the building's performance and occupant comfort. Sun shading is the most effective solution on controlling illuminance in the building. By combining shading with technology, it will make illuminance control in the building. this paper aims to access daylight illuminance by using kinetic façade design.
