My project was inspired by the immersive and imaginative world of Pandora from Disney’s Animal Kindom. My ultimate goal is to make the project a space that not only amazes visitors but also promotes sustainability and interactions. Here are the design intent and goals:

Sustainability - Carbon Footprint and Renewable Resources

image
  • Measure
    • Carbon Footprint Reduction
      • Measured in terms of tons of CO2 equivalent reduced annually compared to conventional building standards.
      • Includes both construction and operational carbon footprint.
    • Use of Renewable Resources
      • Percentage of building's energy needs met through renewable sources (solar, wind, etc.).
      • Proportion of construction materials sourced from renewable or recycled resources.
  • Targets
    • Carbon Footprint Reduction
      • Minimally Acceptable: 40% reduction compared to standard construction.
      • Desired/Target Value: 60% or greater reduction.
    • Use of Renewable Resources
      • 50% of energy needs are met by renewable sources.
      • 75% or more of energy needs are met by renewable sources.
  • Strategies
    • For Carbon Footprint Reduction
      • Employ advanced sustainable construction techniques.
      • Design the building for high energy efficiency (e.g., superior insulation, energy-efficient windows).
      • Implement a green roofing system to provide insulation and reduce the heat island effect.
      • Utilize low-impact construction practices to minimize emissions during the building phase.
    • For Maximizing the Use of Renewable Resources
      • Install solar panels and possibly small-scale wind turbines if feasible.
      • Integrate passive solar design principles to reduce the need for active heating and cooling.
      • Use recycled materials in construction where possible, such as recycled steel or glass.
      • Consider innovative technologies like solar glass or kinetic energy harvesting flooring.

Visitor Engagement and Interaction

image
  • Measure
    • Visitor satisfaction ratings (through surveys and feedback forms).
    • Repeat visitation rates (tracked over a specific period).
    • Social media engagement and mentions.
  • Targets
    • Minimally Acceptable: 80% positive visitor feedback; 15% repeat visitation rate.
    • Desired/Target Value: 95% positive visitor feedback; 25% repeat visitation rate.
  • Strategies
    • Create immersive installations that change and respond to visitor presence.
    • Develop a mobile app to enhance visitor experience with AR and location-based information.
    • Offer customizable experiences, allowing visitors to choose their own adventure paths.

Constructability and Operational Efficiency

image
  • Measure
    • Construction cost compared to the initial budget.
    • Operational efficiency (measured in cost per square foot per year).
  • Targets
    • Minimally Acceptable: Construction costs within 15% of the budget; operational cost reduction by 10%.
    • Desired/Target Value: Construction costs within 5% of the budget; operational cost reduction by 20%.
  • Strategies
    • Use prefabricated modules for faster and more efficient construction.
    • Implement energy-efficient HVAC and lighting systems.
    • Design for low-maintenance landscaping and interiors.

Educational Value

image
  • Measure
    • Number and diversity of educational programs.
    • Participant engagement (attendance and feedback).
  • Targets
    • Minimally Acceptable: At least 8 different educational programs with good attendance.
    • Desired/Target Value: More than 12 educational programs with high engagement and positive feedback.
  • Strategies
    • Partner with educational institutions and environmental NGOs for program development.
    • Use interactive technology to make learning more engaging.
    • Schedule regular events like talks, workshops, and exhibitions on sustainability themes.
