ARCHITECTURE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

Hi, My name is you, Patel, from Mississippi State University

College, Off Architectural.

And today we would be discussing the Project architecture for

climate Change.

The particular site is located in Greenville, Mississippi.

So just to give you a small context on the

city and the site, Greenville is a city located on

the western part off Ms Mississippi, with a population of

34,000 people.

While the site is located on the northern part off

Greenville, around one mile away from like Ferguson, which is

a part off Mississippi River and is located on the

western side off the site so more on the side.

The side is populated with residential buildings on the southern

part of the site, while all the other sides are

filled with commercial buildings.

As you can see on the top image, the purple

buildings are the commercial, while the pink boxes are the

residential blocks moving on.

We started with the conceptual exercise initially where my main

focus, WAAS progression and natural light through elements, and I

achieved this by playing with certain kind off lowers, which

can potentially bring in natural light as well, less natural

regulation. With the combination off certain elements.

And I also started to sketch out my ideas on

the progression on how one would feel in the space

in the natural light throughout the building, which would help

me, um, further in the whole project.

So moving on, um, I started to translate my concept

in tow an actual building, and I decided toe place

my community center on the southern side off the site

in in order to connect more to the main road

and the residential block across the street.

While another reason for that was to create an opportunity

within the site within the site where an outer space

is connected to the main street as well as the

residential block across the street.

Talking more about the layout off spaces, I went back

to my concept off having spaces branched out from the

central circulation and as part off my concept, um, my

major focus was around, um, progression and and natural ventilation.

So I decided to move forward with this aluminum lowered

system, lured great system um, which which has a sharing

material on top off it, but which will also bring

natural light into the space and what this also does

is try to help one progress through the building with

help off natural light.

Um, this also created an opportunity for me to create,

to connect indoors to outdoors with the same design strategy

in which the lower system will continue to extend outdoors,

creating a good transition from indoors to outdoors, and you

seem or, um, in walk through.

And the renderings is this building was also going to

be an educational space to learn more about the site

and the city.

I wanted my classrooms and the recreational space directly connected

to the, uh to the outdoors, as you can see

on the screen right now.

And it kind off connects the whole space together, moving

on with the elevations.

So particularly on the South and West direction, where most

off the sun and he hit, um, comes to the

space. Um, my idea off the shading device was the

same as the indoors.

Well, why?

Where I have extended out the same lower grade system

with the shooting model on top of it toe provide

enough sharing to the spaces on the southern and western

side, and due to the help off lower system in

the trees placed on the southern and western facade.

Um, ample amount off natural light throughout the day, um

comes in to the spaces with reduced amount off.

He and these are my east and west elevations off

the community center talking about my sections.

The building has been raised up from the ground level

in order to prevent floodwater entering into the building.

And with the help off, um, lower great system, it

brings in a ZX you can see in the northern

section in the eastern west section with the help of

floor Great system.

It brings in the natural light throughout the day with

radios hit off the radius hit with help off shading

device on top off it, um, with the reduced amount

off. So moving on with my wall section Um, here,

you can see the connection detail off the lower system

which has been shown where it has been anchored to

the wall, while, um, an additional attention cable is attached

to the parapet off the wall, which creates stability in

which creates stability in orderto avoid the uplifting or damaging

off the system.

Talking about my bio climatic design strategies firstly toe address

the issue of floodwater.

I have utilized the existing Swail, which is located on

the eastern side, off the side on.

If you're able to see but and look on the

inside of those site by connecting a bias will that

that runs from west to east, guiding the flow of

water and what this also does is tries to slow

down the flow of water and connected to the existing

swell. The topography around the building has also been created

in such a way that the water will be directed,

um, toe the bio swales and the existing soil, so

to run off the floodwater.

In such circumstances, moving on the building will be also

producing like electricity, with help off solar panels that are

placed above the community center, which will be adequate to

supply both like community and housing.

In such tough times.

Talking off my housing, I have provided 20 total units

for the housing where four units will be, uh, four

units are specially designed for area accessibility, while the all

all the other units are normally accessible.

Also, the layout does goto my concept in a way

where you can see like it branches out from each

other. And it has Bean designed in such a way

that it directly connects to the recreational space but also

have their own recreational space, um, outdoor space, where the

effort was made to create a community space which connects

toe each and every person staying there.
