Statement of Intent
My element attempts to specifically address the social impact of elements and whether there is a logical and flexible system of applying building augmentations to create a dialogue between the envelope and whats within it. In the context of a growing library of elements, each with both overlapping and unique benefits, the monopoly of a singular repeated element over an entire envelope may not be the optimal solution for all the different conditions throughout a building. To deal with this potential issue, Ive created a simple tool to map internal (and perhaps more difficult to measure) functions of a building on to the envelope where they are read as adjacencies and relationships rather than singular units. These new sets of values can then be dealt with a singular element that changes accordingly or different elements for each range of relationship.
Element Design Themes A. Blocking/Harnessing the Orientation
element sketches:
some units
too much glare, not at home, too hot
other units
ing, stay at home south facade elevation
For those who like to be exposed to the sun, their energy consumption is linked with an opposing facade to compensate for the energy wasted

UDF NAME SY2359_UDF_FRAME UDF DESCRIPTION Forms a structural armature to host other elements developed by students. Can be manipulated to create occupyable structure that spans between two windows hence creating a potential social space.
