TUTE TWO - BATTERSEA TWO (SUPERSTAR)

MINUTES with Richard Tucker 4th MAY

so friday was a really good day. weather was great, studio was great, the team was awesome actually. Overall this was a great tutorial and richard gave us some more to think about in terms with the design. how cool is that! we brought some 3d model sketches and floorplans of what we've been working on during the week. fun
  • Our inspiration came from the egyptian architect Hassan Fathy.
  • islamic building construction and theories
  • we need to redirect sunlight on our roofing system
  • to look at climatic data to work out how much moisture in the lair
  • roof pump for collecting water
  • thinking about thermal mass within the walls (direct contact) by using the water roofing system through the internal walls (with glass) upvc.
  • diferientiating between both public and private
  • with the internal courtyard - we need to try and extract a view on public space
  • make two seperate and different sketch models by next week.
how lovely.
