Introduction

This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the

context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and theintegration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics (where necessary).

Objectives

The objectives of this project are as follows:

To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design.

To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site

analysis).

To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary).

Learning Outcomes

Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting

and acoustics. Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics.

Tasks

Each student is required to incorporate 1A2 for Lighting Integrated Design and 1A2 for Acoustics IntegratedDesign boards and submit in a clear folder (front/back). Within your building design, you are required toidentify 2 spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting and for your acoustic you are required toidentify 2 spaces to integrate your external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution basedand you are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using Ecotect or any otherenvironmental design analysis tools in your presentation board(s). Calculations to resolve your designintegrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together.

Submission RequirementSubmit a CAREFULLY ORGANISED board(s) individually. You may use the design presentation boardformat.

Assessment criteria

To achieve higher marks, a student will, in addition to the pass requirements

Do your research and case studies for the chosen topic to be incorporated in your design.
