Glenn KatzYour Design Journal entries for this module should highlight:
- the design alternatives that you modeled and tested
- the results of the analyses and how they influenced your thinking about how to move forward
Use text , images, web links, movies... Whatever media works best to express your ideas!
Images of Your 3 Design Proposals
Out of all of these submissions, I would choose the 2nd submission, the pyramids. The other two are okay, but they don’t fulfill my vision. Haha, something I would like to do in the future is run real analyses and studies of sites and building materials to figure out what is optimal to build.
Side-By-Side Comparisons of Your Analysis Results
Your Recommendation for the “Best” Design Option
The best design option in my opinion is the second option, the green pyramids. Well, that’s actually a false statement. The 3rd option is the most compact which allows the energy systems to be more efficient, and the pillars the building rests on minimize the impact to the park. Honestly, this is probably the best option for a building. However, I want to create an exhibition space, and option two feels much more like an exhibition space. The space is more novel and grand than the third option, and I’m interested in creating space with the pyramid form.
