Poe Of Bioclimatic Design Building Towards Promoting Sustainable Living, Hazreena Hussein, Adi Jamaludin Dec 2014

Poe Of Bioclimatic Design Building Towards Promoting Sustainable Living, Hazreena Hussein, Adi Jamaludin

Hazreena Hussein

Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) by using a set of questionnaire was conducted to assess the perception and comfort level required by residents in a college building with the best practice of bioclimatic design strategies, particularly natural ventilation and daylighting. The questionnaire was based on a five-point Likert scale, covering various performance criteria of building, specifically on the architectural elements, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, visual comfort, acoustic comfort and landscape elements. The initial outcomes showed a positive relationship between perceptions and building performance criteria.

The Dynamics Of Daylighting At A Residential College Building With The Internal Courtyard Arrangement, Adi Ainurzaman Jamaluddin, Hazreena Hussein, Nila Inangda Keumala Daud, Ati Rosemary Mohd Ariffin Dec 2014

The Dynamics Of Daylighting At A Residential College Building With The Internal Courtyard Arrangement, Adi Ainurzaman Jamaluddin, Hazreena Hussein, Nila Inangda Keumala Daud, Ati Rosemary Mohd Ariffin

Hazreena Hussein

Dayasari residential college building was designed with the internal courtyard that allows for numerous implementations of bioclimatic design strategies, especially on daylighting. The field measurement was conducted at eight unoccupied student rooms, selected as samples to represent ten scenarios and orientations that concerned with the level of radiation and penetration of sunlight. This study reveals the contribution of the internal courtyard in the residential college which allows the daylight penetration at the corridor areas and interior of the rooms through the transom over the entrance door, up to ten hours daily. Different amounts of daylight were measured in specific room …

Creating Healthy Community In The Postindustrial City, Brian A. Hoey Dec 2014

Creating Healthy Community In The Postindustrial City, Brian A. Hoey

Brian A. Hoey, Ph.D.

This chapter explores how community might be reimagined for the benefit of public health as well as to promote incipient social or economic agendas born of progressive citizen action aimed at what is commonly characterized as development or, perhaps, even more broadly as “growth.” Can a city like Huntington, West Virginia, emerge as a positive example of what we might term postindustrial urban regeneration and perhaps even community healing? Can this happen specifically through a grassroots movement now finding local governmental support in a collective attempt to transform this place from one defined primarily by the productive capacity of factories …

Capitalizing On Distinctiveness: Creating Wv For A New Economy, Brian A. Hoey Dec 2014

Capitalizing On Distinctiveness: Creating Wv For A New Economy, Brian A. Hoey

Brian A. Hoey, Ph.D.

This article explores use of images and ideas of place to promote particular social and economic agendas within the regional context of Appalachia. Despite prevailing imageries of backwardness and isolation that adhere to the region, as well as recent history of often-bleak economic conditions, communities such as Huntington, West Virginia, are ideal places to observe inventive forms of community-building, place-making, and place-marketing that borrow from emerging cultural and economic models and stand in sharp contrast to a once dominant paradigm that encouraged capital investment by relying simply on tax breaks and the provision of cheap land and labor to attract …

Learning From Las Vegas, In Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle Dec 2014

Learning From Las Vegas, In Phnom Penh, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

Why begin a 2012 studio about Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 1972 Las Vegas, Nevada?

Learning from Las Vegas has not run its course as a radical research practice. Its techniques and representational strategies have been deeply absorbed into the North American discipline and its modalities commonplace within that discipline. However, conditions of architectural education are not global and the influence of the 20th century canon of architectural literature, including Learning from
Las Vegas has not necessarily reached those places it might now best serve, in this case the rapidly urbanizing cities of Southeast Asia, specifically Phnom Penh,
Cambodia.

Losing Ground: Urban Sacrifice Zones In The Mississippi River Basin, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle Dec 2014

Losing Ground: Urban Sacrifice Zones In The Mississippi River Basin, Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

Shelby Elizabeth Doyle

The term sacrifice zone derives from the study of traditional agricultural practices where cultivators deliberately degraded one area to increase productivity in another area. The term has been appropriated into political and economic discourse and used to describe areas degraded by modern industrial societies in the pursuit of economic gain.
