Teachers Zone

For this particular zone I wanted to experiment with an idea that I had personally developed throughout the first semester of this course. I created a simple building consisting of the individual spaces outlined in the teachers zone previously in this experiment and created a skin around the structure to be able to create extraction points of hot air all around the main structure thus maintaining a cool temperature throughout the building. Such idea was inspired by the ever growing demand for sustainable buildings.

I believe that such design would almost extinguish the need for mechanical ventilation thus resulting in less energy consumption rates. The screenshots of the building can be viewed below.

The next and final phase of this experiment will be to link all these zones together using bridges and elevators and to also design an Architectural Folly inspired by my concept to achieve the design brief of this experiment.
