Theory of Architecture: Shaen Marie L. Ancheta Bs Arch 1-A

This document discusses several key concepts in architectural theory and design values: 1. It outlines different design values including artistic expression, minimalism, social change, tradition, sustainability, and re-use. 2. It describes environmental design values and how about 50-60% of energy consumption relates to buildings, driving a focus on environmental concerns. 3. It discusses thermal zoning in architectural design, outlining external, buffer, and internal zones, and how the extent of the passive zone is controlled by room depth and solar design strategies.

Value of Interior Design
- To improve the morale and increase the productivity ofthe people
in your facility.
- To use your space and financial resources in the mostcost
effective manner.
- To assure the health, safety and welfare of facility occupants.
- To project a professional image of your organization.
- To provide appropriate and maintainable buildingmaterials,
finishes, furniture, and furnishings.

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN VALUES
• Environmental technology, along with new environmental
values, have affected development in cities across
theworld. This may not besurprising, as about 50% of all
energy consumption in Europe and 60% in the US is building-
related. However, environmental concerns are not restricted
to energy consumption, which are reflected in the focus
found among architects and industrial designers.

Thermal zoning in section
• External zones: • Internal zones:

adjacent to the line of enclosure

micro climate of the 2. Passive zone: the area defined in plan to receive a
significant contribution from the
site externalenvironmentforheating, lighting
ventilation. The convention is to use a dimension
and

equal to twice the ceilingheight to define theextent


2. Buffer zone: of this zone from the façade
3. Non-passive zone: the area defined in plan and which
microclimate created receives an insignificant contributionfromtheexternal
environment for heating, lighting and ventilation.
by the building
The extent of the passive zone is
controlled by two main sets of factors:

• 1. The room depth that is the depth from façade


• 2. The solar design strategy, the level of transparency in the facade to provide
daylighting
Graphical tool for assessing thermal
zoning strategies
The earlier definitions of the passive zone are aimed at
providing a method of assessing plans to giveinformation
regardingtotal energy use of the design. The contention here is
this information is particularlyuseful for bench
markingpurposes. Benchmark figures for building types can be
set and optimum design variablesselected to meet thebenchmark.
This flexibility can begin to intellectualize the design
process so that choices available todesigner can beclearly
indicated and the consequences of choices articulated.
