Mosman 7 Preliminary Design Ideas/Principles for Jiln Bardi


Here are 3 preliminary design sketches for the Jiln Bardi site. The climate is hot-dry/arid. Design solutions to this climate as discussed in lectures may include:
  • shade late morning/all afternoon;

  • catch summer winds

  • moisten air

  • courtyard of heavy materials

  • light colours

  • wind scoops

  • cooling from convection currents

These preliminary sketches show incorporation of some of these elements in various ways, however you may note that the sketches also show a strong interest in:

  • sympathetic or appropriate response to landscape elements
  • use of local/recycled materials
