How to Design for Optimal Thermal Comfort (And Why it Matters)

Have you ever found yourself losing a good night's sleep due to an overly warm room? Or wearing four jackets and a scarf just to tolerate your office's frigid air conditioning? Truth be told, you can't please everyone when it comes to adjusting an indoor climate, and there is always that one unfortunate individual who ends up sacrificing their own comfort for the sake of others.

Evidently, there are no 'universal standards' or 'recommended comfort ranges' in designing building systems, since athletes training in a gym in Mexico will not feel comfortable in an interior with the same building systems of a nursing home in Denmark, for instance. Which is why, if we were to briefly define 'thermal comfort', it is the creation of building systems that are adapted to the local environment and functions of the space, cooperatively.

So how can we design for optimum thermal comfort?

Safdie Architects design a Series of Treehouse-Like Pavilions for Surbana Jurong Headquarters

Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:00 AM PST

© Safdie Architects © Safdie Architects

Safdie Architects have unveiled details of their proposed corporate headquarters for Surbana Jurong in Singapore. The scheme seeks to reflect the mission of Surbana Jurong (Singapore's leading architecture, urban design, and infrastructure firm) of characterizing Singapore as the "Garden City." Located on a previously undeveloped site, the campus will "integrate harmoniously with its natural landscape" while also offering over 740,000 square feet of space for the firm's 4000 employees.

The scheme manifests as a series of treehouse-like pavilions united by a central pedestrian "street," all shaped by a careful examination of, and respect for, the site's existing trees and unique flora. The result is a distinctive network of offices embedded within surrounding parkland, with the glazed pedestrian street interweaving interior and exterior landscapes.

The World Monuments Fund (WMF) has announced Annabelle Selldorf as architect of the new Qianlong Garden Interpretation Center within the iconic Forbidden City in Beijing, China. One of few American architects to lead architectural projects at the site, Selldorf's scheme will allow the public access to the Qianlong Garden for the first time, permitted through a new Visitor's Center.

Selldorf, working with her NYC-based firm Selldorf Architects, will design the interpretation center within an existing, restored structure of the Qianlong Garden's second courtyard. Designed as three distinct halls surrounding an open pavilion, the different spaces within the restoration will offer a unique perspective on the past and present of the Forbidden City.

The World's First Quarry Hotel Opens in China, Designed by JADE + QA

Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:00 AM PST

© Blackstation & Kevin © Blackstation & Kevin

The world's first quarry hotel has been opened in China, designed by Martin Jochman and his studio JADE + QA. Situated in an 88-meter-deep, water-filled, disused quarry, the 337-guestroom Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel contains only two levels above ground, with 16 more levels plunging into the quarry below.

The winner of an international design competition in 2006, Jochman developed the scheme in collaboration with ATKINS, in a process which has lasted over a decade. The resulting "groundscraper" features such amenities as an underwater restaurant and aquarium, all set within a form which seeks to minimize its impact on the local environment.
