Research Question:
1. What is Thermal Comfort ? How to achieve Thermal Comfort ?2. How does passive design promote natural air ventilation of Glass
Shed ?3. What is the influence of vernacular Malay houses design to
Glass Shed ?4. What type of local material are introduced and used in Glass
Shed to enhance ventilation or to achieve thermal comfort ?
Material :
Bricks
Steel
Concrete
Glass
Timber
Modern Material : Traditional Material :
Steel Furniture-reduce visibility to fuse with surrounding-allow air to flow through (reduce obstacle)
Steel Façade-to absorb heat and provide shade
Clear Glass-to allow maximum amount of natural light coming in-to celebrate the contextual view
Concrete and Bricks-low thermal capacity-water resistant-heat insulator (maintain cool temprature)
Vernacular Design:

Lourve Window and Casement Window
Opening and Orientation of the building allow the ventilation to work well
Conclusion:
The design of Glass Shed carried the architectural language of traditional malay houses yet by using the new modern material, the façade is polish and elegant compare with traditional houses.The climatic design adaptation is pretty well pictured in Glass Shed as they use different type of window for the façade to control ventilation and frame view to show the essence of architecture.
