Topic

Cities Alive: Designing green & sustainable façades for the tropics

Talk points

Why do we need sustainable cities?

Challenges incorporating "green" façades and how they can influence the environment

Examples of sustainable façades design in tropics and other parts of the world

"Well" rating system and how it will influence future buildings

11:00 — 11:20

Stephen Tanno

Director Pre-Construction Services

Schüco International

Topic

Façade detailing for low energy consumption

Talk points

Principles of passive design using the inherent qualities of the construction

Focus on climates where complete natural ventilation is not possible due to the harshness of the climate, hence mechanical HVAC is necessary

Examples of how simple improvements in the design and detailing of the building envelope can result in considerable energy savings in the operation of HVAC sysytems

Case studies of projects where such improvements could be made and show likely savings in energy and hence cost reduction

11:20 — 11:50

Charu Kokate

Senior Partner

Safdie Architects

Topic

Special Keynote -Optimizing structural efficiency and sustainability in façade design

Talk points

In every climate, façade design may be optimized to take advantage of unique site features, orientation, materiality and use

Sharing three projects in the tropical climate of Singapore, with differing uses and geometries, this presentation will review how the design and construction teams partnered to integrate and optimize architectural and structural efficiency

In each case, the use of a variety of traditional and emerging tools, including parametric modeling and customized computer scripts, as well as actual mockups in the field, to refine steelwork and exterior building material system choices

Examples include the fractalization of the façade with stepped terraces at a residential tower, Sky Habitat; the finely-tuned building assemblies of steel structure and glass and metal panels at Jewel at Changi Airport; and the fabrication sequencing and engineering of the complex façades of the Marina Bay Sands complex

Insight on how occupant comfort and architectural expression is enhanced by the exploration of daylighting, energy modeling, solar and shade analysis

Building The Opus - Case study and history of a double curved glazed project in Dubai

Talk points

The Opus is a 20-storey fully glazed mixed used building in Dubai. Commissioned by Omniyat, Zaha Hadid Architects developed a unique design resembling a cube with the core melted out

Discover how the outer flat facdes of The Opus are neutral transparent glazed with a silver mirror pattern, while the core area is dark blue 3D formed glazing

Recognise the main challenges of achieving the 3D double-curved shape such as the UAE climate, colour correction and dealing with the radiation focusing effect the geometry imposes
