__________________________________________________________________________________ Project 2 : Integration with Design Studio 5 Submission date: Week 13 (6/12/2012) Marks : 20% of final Marks Introduction This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting and acoustics in the context their final design project of studio 5. It encompasses advanced daylighting systems and the integration of electrical lighting, strategies for noise management and room acoustics (where necessary). Objectives The objectives of this project are as follows: To be able to show understanding of lighting and acoustics principles in their final design. To be able to solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting, site analysis). To be able to design spaces incorporating lighting and acoustics (when necessary). Learning Outcomes Produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context in relation to lighting and acoustics. Identify and analyze functional needs through case studies to inform of lighting and acoustics. Tasks Each student is required to incorporate 1A2 for Lighting Integrated Design and 1A2 for Acoustics Integrated Design boards and submit in a clear folder (front/back). Within your building design, you are required to identify 2 spaces which require artificial lighting and day-lighting and for your acoustic you are required to identify 2 spaces to integrate your external noises and internal noises. Integration must be solution based and you are advised to incorporate visuals, diagrams and renderings using Ecotect or any other environmental design analysis tools in your presentation board(s). Calculations to resolve your design integrations solutions must be attached in A4 and submitted together. Submission Requirement Submit a CAREFULLY ORGANISED board(s) individually. You may use the design presentation board format. Assessment criteria To achieve higher marks, a student will, in addition to the pass requirements Do your research and case studies for the chosen topic to be incorporated in your design.

Discuss in depth the chosen topic for the integration.
