GREEN STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING DESIGN
PROJECT 1 : Passive Green Building Case Studies Poster & Booklet
This project investigates passive sustainable design strategies by analyzing two architectural case studies from contrasting climates—one tropical and one from another climatic region. The study focuses on site planning, daylighting, façade design, natural ventilation, and strategic landscaping to understand how climate-responsive design improves spatial quality, energy efficiency, and user comfort. Through critical comparison, the project highlights how orientation, shading, insulation, and material selection adapt to diverse environmental conditions. The findings aim to demonstrate how context-driven design can minimize environmental impact, reduce resource consumption, and create architecture that harmonizes with its surroundings while maintaining functional and aesthetic integrity. Our submission requirements were 1 Infographic poster 1 Booklet and 1 video

PROJECT 2 : Passive Green Building Strategies Report (Integration with AD4 P1C)
In AD4 P1C, our design approach prioritized passive green building strategies to achieve sustainability and occupant comfort. The project applied principles of site planning, daylighting, façade design, natural ventilation, and strategic landscaping, derived from a tropical climate case study. By aligning orientation, shading devices, and ventilation systems with local climate patterns, the design minimized energy use and maximized natural resources. Environmentally friendly, durable materials were selected to reduce waste and lifecycle impact. We were required to write a 15 page report about the strategies that we implemented in our design. Project 1 of this module provided a strong foundation in climate-responsive design, informing the strategies adopted for the current project and reinforcing the integration of sustainability into architectural practice.
