Theory Final Project- Pattern Language and UN Sustainable Building Initiative

In my design studio classes, I have implemented several design strategies, both consciously and unconsciously, that come under the two theories I have chosen for my two canons.

My theories are Pattern Language and the UN Sustainable Building Initiative, both of which have had a significant impact on the projects I've chosen.

Sustainable building design is an aspect of the building pattern, according to my interpretation of Pattern Language, which comprises planning, design solutions, and eco-friendly strategies.

I have created a set of diagrams that show how my theories apply to the design and planning of a project.

My diagrams represent my vision of what a twenty-first-century architecture should be like, and this is what I hope to incorporate into my design in the future.

Some of my theories' criteria have been applied to my design projects, and the design solutions address environmental, community, and location concerns.

Through a series of iterations of shifting massing patterns, I have established a massing model that responds to circulation, connecting public and private programs, sunlight penetration, providing views, and producing design aesthetics.

I have run many simulations with my teammates to see how the environment affects our building's performance and to figure out how we can take advantage of the sun and wind in our massing and façade in certain locations while minimizing the risk in others.

Which later on in our project helped us in designing our façade, utilizing various technologies, experimenting with architectural aesthetics, and deciding to provide renewable energy sources in order to maximize efficiency.

Following a set of pattern languages and including environmentally friendly design, I believe, will enable us to create more community-based spaces, open our doors to finding answers to many challenges, build a project that responds to the site and culture, and establish its own identity, allowing it to stand out and be very valuable to its occupants. This is something I want to keep pursuing in the future and incorporate into my design in order to contribute to the advancement of the quality of life and help shape the world in a positive way.
