Project 1: Lighting & Acoustic Performance Evaluation and Design

In a group of 5, we are to observe, evaluate, analyse and report on lighting and acoustics performance of our selected case study building.

 

For the case study, we are to choose a building that has lighting and acoustic features that can be studied. Examples of buildings could be a; restaurant, café, lounge, auditorium, and any similar buildings. Each group is also to produce a measured drawing with appropriate scale of the case study and include all the necessary features which effect on the lighting and acoustics conditions to the selected building. Then we are required to carry out appraisals on day-lighting, artificial lighting, noise and sound condition (quality and quantity) in the selected case study. 

The place we chose was D'Kaffe Bistro.​

Learning outcomes of the project

1. Able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting requirement eg. Natural and artificial lighting. (Pictures, sketches and drawing) and analysis of factors which effects the lighting design of a space. 

2.  Explore and apply understanding of building physic eg. Lighting towards building / construction technology and building materials on existing building projects.

3.  Basic understanding and analysis of lighting layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations eg. Lumen method and PSALI.

4.  Basic understanding and analysis of acoustic design layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations eg. Reverberation time and sound transmission coefficient.

Project 2: Integration Project with Studio V

This is an individual project. In this project, we are to identify two significant spaces in our final design in studio V for implementing the artificial and the daylighting strategies (PSALI). In our studio V, we are to design a community library  in Jalan Tun H S Lee, Kuala Lumpur. The two spaces that I chose for this project are the E-Library area and the indoor cafeteria.
