INEFFICIENCYCAN BEBEAUTIFUL The theme of our submission is “Inefficiency can be
beautiful.” We want to show that energy is never “lost”; it is only transformed into unusable forms. By focusing on heat, we intend to visualize these trans-formations—our installations will illustrate the beauti-fully dynamic process of heat generation, thus affect-ing the landscape while providing enough electricity to power a small neighborhood.

Sustainable energy, indeed, can be beautiful. How-ever, the beauty of a project superficially conceals a vital flaw of sustainable energy- the problem of ineffi-ciency. Current technology for sustainable solar energy boasts an efficiency level of 15-20%. This means that a mere 20% of the total energy from the sun is converted into actual electricity. What hap-pens to the remaining 80%? It is irretrievably “lost,” much of it dissipating as heat; if a panel were 100% efficient, there would be no heat given off.

The installations will be semi-transparent vertical solar panel walls spiraled around the closed gas caps.This distribution is the result of form studies emphasiz-ing the gas cap at the center. The now obsolete caps, which used to extract natural gas from decom-posing trash, are vestiges of the previous landfill, and we intend our panel organization to commemorate this history. There is no set site within the park; howev-er, we consider the circular collection of panels as one module that can be centered around any gas cap. This should allow for more flexibility in the instal-lation process.

OBJECTIVE:The goal of the project is about exploring the auditory experience given the acoustic quality derived from water as well as redirecting the ambient noises surrounding the park. The proposed pool works as a sound machine both passively and actively where water amplifies the musical experience inside and out. Given the prexisting pond, the pool becomes a space where accoustics dictates the redirection of sound, light, as well as people.

OBJECTIVE:As a continutation of the previoue years’ design build project, this studio focused on the community in and surrounding Patrick Henry Downtown Academy. Exploring the existing project and its context, we began a process of community engagement that centered on site-based testint and incremental design. Our studio of twelve students propsed and completed a variety of projects intended to bring life and activity to the former asphalt backspace. Con-centrating ourselves into small groups, we were able to address different scales within the overal land-scape. Together we created a place for the commu-nity of Patrick Henry to engage with the soil, the plants, the neighbors and the city.

+ OBJECTIVE:The goal of the project is designing the new GreenIdeas building, a non-profit organization that provides lowe-cost workspace for small start-ups in Santiago, Chile. The design proposal was intended to use natural-ventilation and showcase the cost of expected energy saving which led to exploring how architectural form could facilitate both bouyance and wind-driven natural ventilation.

PROGRAM + FORM
OBJECTIVE:The goal of the project was to design a visitors center working with real site context and climate in Amster-dam. In trying to make the building’s energy con-sumption “net-zero,” we used simulations to produce a high-performance building. The overarching theme was to demonstrate an evidence-based design strategy.

+GUNDOPLASTY - SOUTH FACADE FACELIFTGSD 06479| DAYLIGHTING
OBJECTIVE:The goal of the project was to a daylighting issue at the architecture building at Harvard University. After surveying student, we decided to tackle the issue of glare in the tray - studio area. Currently the school uses manual internal shades that block all solar gain-from the facade. Our main objective was to design a facade that would both address the glare and enhance the beauty of the existing building rather than blocking it in its intirety.

OBJECTIVE:The goal of the PAFA grant is to analyze the mechani-cal and operational systems and day-lighting of the original Frank Furness design for the Pennsylvania Acad-emy of Arts to guide a potential restoration of aspects of the original Furness building systems. We set out to understand and model the original Furness mechanical system and study whether the building might be more energy efficient if aspects of the original ventilation systems were to be reactivated. We also looked into day-lighting, investigating the original glazing, the present glazing, and potential modern glazing systems and materials to see how they might converge or diverge with the goal of more effectively managing light levels in specific galleries.

+HYBRID VENTILATION IN HEALTHCARETHESIS| ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND IATROGENIC DISEASES
ADVISOR | ASSISTANT PROFESSOR JOYCE ROSENTHAL PH.D.
| 43
OBJECTIVE:Natural ventilation is applicable to a limited range of climates, sites and building types. Advanced naturally ventilated buildings, such as those using stacks to encourage buoyancy driven airflow, or hybrid build-ings, which integrate both natural and mechanical systems, can extend the range of buildings and climate within which natural ventilation might be used. High ventilation rate is shown to be effective for reduc-ing cross-infection risk of airborne diseases in hospitals and isolation rooms. Natural ventilation can deliver much higher ventilation rate than mechanical ventila-tion in an energy-efficient manner. My objective is to explore and recommend an alternative to mechani-cal ventilation in a time where energy conservation and disease control remains high priorities in health buildings.
