DESIGN MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDINGTechnology and Engineering

WHAT IS MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING?

It is a building with spaces where people live, work, and have fun.

MAKE YOUR BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENT!

Ideas to think about Shape Colors Size and Number of Windows Location of Windows Shade Thermal Reservoir Solar Power

SHAPE:

What shape your building would be? Rectangular prism, cylinder, sphere, or combination of multiple shapes?

How does that help your building be more energy efficient?

COLOR:

What color(s) do you use for your building? Why did you choose the color(s)? How does that help your building be more

energy efficient?

SIZE, SHAPE, LOCATION AND NUMBER OF WINDOWS:

How big the windows would be? How many windows or what percent of your

building would be windows? Why? What direction (North, South, East, West,

North-East, etc.) do you put more windows? How does that help your building be more

energy efficient?

SHADE

Roof overhangs or tree can be designed to admit more sunlight in winter and less in summer.

How does that help your building be more energy efficient?

THERMAL RESERVOIR

Sometimes the floor or an internal wall of a house is built from stone or concrete or some similar material.

These absorb and store heat during the day, then gradually release it at night, so the heater needs to do less work

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Solar cells, windmills, biomass, hydro, geotermal, bloom box, etc.

PARK ON TOP

To save energy and to get clean water

CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS

Define the problem Create scale drawings Design structure Energy Efficient Communicate Clearly

DEFINE THE PROBLEM

Think about Lawrence. How can you make this community safer, healthier, and better place to live?

What types of service or products you think people in your community need in this community?

DEFINE THE PROBLEM

Problem clearly defined with list of criteria and constraints.

Detailed list of research information, websites, pictures and descriptions of example buildings.

Each of you must have different building idea.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Write a problem statement, which is a short description of the functions of the building that you think are needed.

For example, “My teammates and I will design a building

that ...” Each team come up with a problem

statement.

CRITERIA AND CONSTRAINTS

Criteria 4-story building, 1 underground floor Residential and business spaces 100ft by 100ft land Add more!

Constraints Building codes Zoning laws

DEVELOP POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Based on the problem statement, criteria and constraints, each of you draw sketch of a building.

List some ideas about What type(s) of business you invite to your

building. What type(s) of rooms you have in your building

(for singles, couples, or families) Explain why they are beneficial for your

community.

CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTION

Each of you take turns sharing the sketches and ideas.

Look for ways to incorporate the best ideas. Or use a Pugh chart if necessary

CREATE SCALE DRAWINGS

Create floor plans and elevations. Each member is in charge of at least two

plans. Use 1:144 (1 square on the paper means 1

square yards, which is equal to 9 square feet).

Each plan must have Building element labeled Title block

Every segment must be drawn with a ruler.

DRAWINGS SHOULD HAVE

Floor plans for Basement 1st to 4th floor Rooftop

Elevation Views for North, East, South and West view.

Each student must be in charge of At least 1 floor plan AND 1 elevation view.

FLOOR PLANS

FLOOR PLANS

DESIGN STRUCTURE

Write one or two paragraphs to describe that your team chooses the color, shape, and size of the building.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Describe several energy efficient features and illustrates how thermal energy flows through the building

WHAT STREET WOULD YOU BUILD AND WHY?

Pick a street in Lawrence to construct your building?

Why did you pick a street? How do the building affect people and the

community?

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY

Place all items on a trifold-presentation board.

Drawings and model provide clear descript8ion of building design.

Writing is clear and well-organized.
