Design viAt a precipitous convergence, the urban networkv of Austin confronts the natural landscape of Lady Bird Lake. To mediate this intersection, my design draws the order of the city grid through the site by means of a public boardwalk This avenue brings the public realm of the park up to the street level, activating the museum and site at the human scale.

Vertical forces are resisted within the rigid structure of the roof, individual members carrying the load to the nearest steel beam and then down to the nearest steel column.
Lateral forces are also resisted within the rigid structure of the roof, which acts as a shear plane in conjunction with vertical and diagonal steel columns that are clustered together to allow for more open space.

As beautiful and creative as glazing systems can be, designing for day-lighting and solar shading is a rather calculated process. The behavior of the sun is consistent and concrete and so formal responses can be quite pointed. In fact, they should be. Every place on Earth has a unique relationship with respect to the sun, depending on its local coordinates, the time of day, and the time of year. All the varying conditions of this relationship must be taken into account when designing glazing systems. The place selected for this design exercise is Austin, Texas located 37 25.818’ North, 122 05.36’ West. The place is to be considered throughout all times of the year and documented at 12:00pm, noon on January 21, June 21, and September 21. The proposed design seeks to isolate the particular condi-tions that exist on the North, South, East, West, and roof of the building and respond to them with intention.
North - The vertically oriented window and glazed door on the North side of the building will be more effective for transmitting the light from the low Northeast and Northwest sun in the summer. The deep jambs will help to protect the windows from the sun’s inten-sity in the early morning and late afternoon.
South - Horizontally oriented widows are more appropriate for the South side of the building so that the sun’s constant daylight along it’s arcing path can be accepted through the windows. However, because the sun is so readily available on the South side of the build-ing throughout all times of year, these windows must also be carefully shaded. The semi-eggcrate form of this shading design will allow 100% shading of the South windows in the summer time, about 50% shading in the winter time, and the vertical ns on either side will protect from the brief hours of intensity when the sun is rising and setting.
East - Like the North side, the East side is more in need of vertical shading in response the morning sun. By adding a planting box and a trellis with vertically growing vines the microclimatic conditions surrounding the window can be controlled for lower temperatures. In addition, the growing vines will contribute to a lovely ambience to the interior meeting space.
West - The intensity of the Western setting sun in Austin Texas is probably the most extreme condition. This design seeks to avoid the tremendous heat gain and glare discomfort of the Western sun by eliminating any glazing on the West side of the building. Instead, this side can be loaded with low/no light programs such as the mechanical closet and the water closet.
Roof - The roof of a building of course is exposed the most amount of solar radiation throughout all times of day and year. This de-sign seeks to take advantage of that fact by covering the roof entirely in PV panels mounted on operable sawtooth skylights so that the angle of the panels may be changed for optimum ef ciency (15 in summer and 56 in winter). The operable sawtooth skylights can also function as ventilation.

SITE ANALYSISNIKKI MARKIM
SITUATED ON LADY BIRD LAKE, THE SITE ALREADY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A PRIME MICROCLIMATE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. AUGMENTING THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM WILL USE PASSIVE SYSTEMS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE. IMPLEMENTING NATURAL VENTILATION, ADEQUATE SOLAR SHADING, AND WATER CATCHMENT SYSTEMS, THE DESIGN WILL BE REGENERATIVE, ENGAGING, AND BEAUTIFUL.
UPON ARRIVING AT THE BUILDING, VISITORS WILL BE GREETED BY A FULL-HEIGHT NORTHERN-FACING CURTAIN WALL THAT CAN OPEN COMPLETELY TO FILTER PEOPLE IN AND BREEZES OUT. THE SLOPING ROOF ABOVE THIS FACADE WILL STRUCTURALLY DEPICT UNDERNEATH WHAT IS GOING ON ABOVE -- THE FILTERING OF RAIN WATER TO BASINS STORED UNDERGROUND FOR GEOTHERMAL HEATING. AS WELL AS A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM, THE ROOF WILL BE AN INHABITABLE GREEN ROOF, EXTENDING THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE SITE TO THE ROOFTOP AND KEEPING THE MICROCLIMATE FROM BECOMING TOO HOT OR HUMID. THE ROOF EAVES WILL EXTEND FAR ENOUGH TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SOLAR SHADING TO THE LONG SOUTH FACADE OF THE BUILDING. THE NATURAL LANGUAGE OF SITE WILL CONTINUE ONTO THE WEST AND SOUTH FACADES, ACTING AS A SUPPLEMENTAL SHADING DEVICES AS WELL AS AN AESTHETIC FEATURE.
THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM WILL EMBODY THE ATTITUDE OF AUSTIN AS A BEAUTIFUL, ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY PLACE, WELCOMING AND EXCITING TO ALL PEOPLE THAT COME TO VISIT.
WINTER SPRING/FALL SUMMER
BECAUSE THE SITE IS SOUTH OF ANY SURROUNDING BUILDINGS, IT DOES NOT RECEIVE SHADING FROM ANYTHING BUT THE EXISTING VEGETATION, WHICH HAS ACCUMULATE MOSTLY AT THE LOWEST
POINT OF THE SITE, DOWN BY THE WATER. THEREFORE, THE BUILDING DESIGN MUST
INTEGRATE ITS OWN SHADING DEVICES. THE SOLAR ANGLES DEPICTED SHOULD
DICTATE THE DEPTH OF HORIZONTAL SHADING DEVICES ON THE SOUTHERN
FACADE, ALLOWING WINTER SUN TO PENETRATE THROUGH THE WINDOWS
WHILE SHADING THEM FROM THE SUMMER SUN.
BECAUSE PREVAILING WINDS COME FROM THE SOUTH, NATURAL VENTILATION CAN EASILY BE CREATED BY HAVING SMALL OPENINGS ON THE SOUTH FACADE AND LARGER OPENINGS ON THE NORTH FACADE, PUSHING BREEZES THROUGH THE BUILDING FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH.

EXISTING TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS SHOW THAT THE SITE IS VERY STEEP CLOSE TO THE STREET AND RAMPS OR STAIRS WILL NEED TO BE USED TO ALLOW FOR ADA
ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT.
THE JUXTAPOSITION OF A HEAT MAP AND AN EXISTING VEGETATION MAP SHOW HOW, MICRO-CLIMATICALLY, OUR SITE IS
MUCH COOLER THAN THE SURROUNDING CITY CONTEXT BECAUSE OF ITS ABUNDANT VEGETATION AND PROXIMITY TO LADY
BIRD LAKE. THESE NATURAL FEATURES MITIGATE THE SEVERE TEMPERATURES CAUSED BY AUSTIN’S URBAN HEAT ISLAND
EFFECT. THE USE OF GREEN SPACES AND PERMEABLE SURFACES CAN CONTINUE THE EXISTING NATURAL LANGUAGE OF THE SITE,
INSTEAD OF EXTENDING THE ASPHALT AND CONCRETE WASTE LAND THAT IS THE CITY OF AUSTIN.

IN CONCLUSION, THE DESIGN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM ON LADY BIRD LAKE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS WILL CONTINUE THE LANGUAGE OF THE SITE BY ACTING AS A PASSIVE BARRIER TO THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND TO THE NORTH AND ENHANCING THE COOL, NATURAL MICROCLIMATE TO THE SOUTH.

Upon zoning my building I realized how important it is to locate your mechanical room in an area that can easily reach all zones. With two separate buildings, I designated a mechanical room in each, trying to place them in areas that would reach the designated zones, but also help structurally support the building and not obstruct any programs. Using thick walls to allow mechanical systems to move up through the building, I also reinforced the structure. The primary structure, an array of tapered trusses, allow the mechanical systems to move through the building. For structural purposes, the trusses already need to be about 7 1/2 feet at their deepest, this allowed for large duct work to sprawl through the zones and then decrease in size along with the trusses. In the future I would like to have more time earlier in the design process to consider how to better integrate my structure and mechanical systems, but for the time I had, I think I did a sufficient job.
