Author: Identifying thermal bridges on building facades has been a great challenge for architects, especially during the conceptual design stage. This is not only due to the complexity of parameters when calculating thermal bridges, but also lack of feature integration…
This study proposes a novel method of solar geometry by considering the potential application of point cloud data combined with the simulation of solar radiation. With the support of geometric and radiometric information stored in the point cloud such as…
Since tropical countries present wet and dry seasons all year round, the objective of solar envelopes significantly shifts and aims to minimize the penetration of direct sun access to the buildings, due to high temperatures. As a consequence, the air…
Development of digital media screen technologies cause urban area changes as communication medium by application of media façade which utilizes LED billboard mounting on buildings facade. But, several studies pointed out that LED billboards have several negative impact which come…
Cultural heritage buildings as an asset to the wealth and cultural identity of a nation pose a serious threat if they are located in areas with high levels of humidity, such as Indonesia. High humidity levels create moisture that causes…
Roster brick has been developed from only room service ventilation into elements in the building façade. Nevertheless, the process of making this brick, from construction to geometrical configurations, still relies on the creator’s intuition, questioning the actual performance of the…
The Solar Access course provides a comprehensive understanding of how the position of the sun influences a building’s environment throughout different times of the day and seasons of the year. This course explores key concepts such as solar exposure, shading…
Playground plays important roles for children not only to accommodate their physical activities but also to improve their mental health. However, it is currently difficult to conduct playground activities regularly due to COVID-19 outbreaks. This study aims to explore the…
Priority in housing preferences after the COVID-19 outbreak concerning the residents’ well-being and mental health. Several studies revealed that daylight and visual privacy are two things that affect well-being and mental health. Thus, this study aims is to optimize daylight…
Thermal bridges are recognized as a thermal losses phenomenon on building facades due to the difference of material conductivity, and/or changes in material properties at internal and external areas at junction of floor However, this issue has not been yet…
