Introduction
The building is located in a low-density area of the city with sport
installation and parking area, close to the town center. The regular
oriented in the longer facades face east and west.Its facade is made of Connection of
two prefab elements: a concrete lattice for translucent parts and GRC GRC panel
panel for blind parts.The lattice was fabricated with one purpose made with steel
large size mould and has been installed either, horizontally or vertically, as column
to add variety to the facade by just one standard constructive element.

Advantages
The lattice assure privacy and solar protection in exposed areas. In
aesthetic perception, It act as guarantor for giving a vibrant and ever
changing visual due to the change of daylight.

Studio 5C , Tempe, AZ, USA
Architects : RSP Architects
Size : 3703 sq.ft.
Project Year : July 14, 2013
Introduction
At Studio 5c in Tempe, Arizona, a deciduous vine has climbed over 40 feet to shade the west-facing façade
and walkway from the desert sun as it releafs and blooms every summer, tempering the heat gain inside the
building and shading access to each office suite.
Innovative design used to solve the environment considerations that accounted for in an urbaN. Circulation
spaces between offices, as well as vertically, have been placed beyond the structures skin in order to minimize
the amount of air conditioned space. On the exterior circulation spaces, shade and screening are created by
multi-story structural steel components that are infilled with trellis panels that facilitate the growth of climbing
vines. The 3707 s.f. of lightweight trellis panels are attached to the steel by a custom slot in the full perimeter trim
of the panels that allows for a bolt through application. A very narrow planting bed of only 14“ is enough space
for vines that reach to more than 40’ tall, forming a flowering vertical tapestry.
Benefits
-shading expose spaces
-The green facades also reduce building heat gain by filtering direct sunlight into the building whilst allowing
natural cross-ventilation.
-For heat-resistant which minimizes thermal radiation in hot season in the tropical climate, the façade is working
as a buffer space allowing plants to grow.
-The combination of interrupting solar heat gain, along with the microclimate created by the
evapotranspiration of the plants successful in keeping a comfortable temperature range.
-Cost effective and practical consideration for arid regions.Since the completion of Studios 5c in 2001, the
application of green facade walls to help control heat gain has been expanded to recent projects including
the Phoenix Light Rail stations and the Tempe Transit Center.
The diagram shown how the temperatures of
building surfaces collect and radiate heat
gain, while shaded areas and plant leaves are
considerably cooler. Leaf surface
temperatures are at or near the ambient air
30º 31º 24º 31º temperature during evapotranspiration and in
some cases are actually 3-5 degrees Celsius
cooler.
Disadvantages
-Not flexible to locaced. The green facade need to be located in position that will have the best sun exposure
which may demand placing them opposite to other neighborhood homes.
-Vertical landscaping tends to require more maintenance.

Sky Central opens in west London
Architect : Amanda Levete's studio
Project year : Jun 2016
Sky Central wanted the campus to provide the right
facilities and a high quality environment to work in -
and to bring content into the heart of the
workplace. The glass-walled, naturally-lit Sky News
broadcast studio above the ground floor is central
to the complex, while a large H-shaped atrium
hosts all circulation routes, with timber finishing
ramps and staircases wrapped around two central
mezzanines.
Steel/concrete composite structure
The pre-composition dead load is resisted by the cross section of steel,
and the post-composition dead load and the live load are resisted by
the composite cross section. Compared with stud dowels, etc. for
ordinary composite girders, the steel/concrete composite structure is
inexpensive and lower in structural height, as its integration depends on
the adhesive force of projections of DFT and concrete.
Advantages
-composite construction is faster because of using rolled
steel cast-in-situ concrete.
-weight of the structural steel frame decreased which
reduce the foundation cost
-reduction live load deflections.
-increased span lengths Beam and girder with shear connectors for composite action
with concrete
-the concrete and steel is utilized effectively
-depth and weight of steel beam required is reduced. So
that the construction depth will reduces increasing the
headroom of building.
-encased steel beam have higher resistance to find and
corrosion.
Disadvantages
-shear connector insulation woll increase filed costs
-the cost of connectors which offsets some of saving in beam
material.
-construction difficulties when the projecting the connectors
impede and prevent workmen from walking on the beams.

Site plan
Double facade system
-Provided by the vertical greening system is its ability in microclimate
mitigation and decreasing the interior temperature of buildings.
-The thermal performance of green plants occurs as a result of the
evapotranspiration process that converts water from the substrate or
planting medium into water vapor released into the environment.
Single skin facade system
-Rare facade of the library is Facing to sunrise direction so that single skin facade
system is enough for thermal performance.
-Hollow GRC panel facade design helps for natural ventilation and allow the natural
light to enter into the library.
Double mono-pitch roof system with celectory
-longer lifespan , with materials that are more durable and weather resistant.
The internal accommodation will be more efficiently insulated and will not suffer from
the extremes of temperature that tend to afflict rooms under flat roofs.
-Installing a pitched roof can be more effectively blended in to either the site and
neighbouring buildings, while also helping to retain a sense of individuality and
character.
-Installing celestory (roof window) between the gap of double pitch roof used to
enhance the natural lighting in middle part of the library. The roof window allow to
open and close which depend on the weather condition.
