In my design for de Na�onal Museum of Bri�sh Folklore I tried to incorporate some of thetradi�ons that can be found within the folklore, carefully mixed with a li�le bit of historyand nature.

The building that I designed is basically made out of two volumes, linked together in themiddle by a glazed central core, which hosts the circula�on . A strong focus point of mydesign is the laser cut copper plated metal shell which wraps around one of the twovolumes, this shell was inspired from tradi�onal tex�les and from kni�ng . Anotherinspira�on for my volume is from the vales of the old Bri�sh ships, highlighted by the smalldigs filled with water, which are around the external walls, this can be seen if the viewerlooks from different angles. Despite the fact that the burry man is a scary character, I choseto incorporate somehow the idea into my design by placing two green walls, one near thefront entrance and one in the back, walls that could be covered with ivy, a plant thatdoesn’t require a lot of a�en�on .

Trying to incorporate nature within my design I used natural stone on the exterior wallswith the copper plated metal shell, a �mber walkway towards the main entrance, concreteon the amphitheaters and glass for the central volume.

Benefits

As building efficiency is improved with insulation and weather stripping, buildings are intentionallymade more airtight, and consequently less well ventilated. Since all buildings require a source offresh air, the need for HRVs has become obvious. While opening a window does provideventilation, the building's heat and humidity will then be lost in the winter and gained in the summer,both of which are undesirable for the indoor climate and for energy efficiency, since the building'sHVAC systems must compensate. HRV introduces fresh air to a building and improves climatecontrol, whilst promoting efficient energy use.

Technology

HRVs and ERVs can be stand-alone devices that operate independently, or they can be built-in, oradded to existing HVAC systems. For a small building in which nearly every room has an exteriorwall, then the HRV/ERV device can be small and provide ventilation for a single room. A largerbuilding would require either many small units, or a large central unit. The only requirements for thebuilding are an air supply, either directly from an exterior wall or ducted to one, and an energysupply for air circulation, such as wind energy or electricity for a fan. When used with 'central' HVACsystems, then the system would be of the 'forced-air' type.
