Technické informace

-Before the start of the project, all the structural elements in building (A) and (B) were studied, From columns, tiles, and stairs, were taken into consideration to preserve the existing building’s structure. The structural elements were used in the new design as a major determinant that governs the redesign process. New structural elements resulted from the addition of extra elements and those were put in the new floor plans as shown in the figures. The pre-openings in the tiles have been preserved to keep the building from collapsing. The Lecture hall was used as a dining hall and the other one was preserved and its use changed to a theatre. -To provide a healthy and productive environment, it was important to pay attention to the environmental treatments of the buildings, as ventilation and natural lighting were studied and considered in the design phase to achieve a breathable and comfortable building.

Hi Fatma, I hope you are doing well. You have done very well in designing the floor plans and communication between the buildings. I believe in this type of project, you should design a modern style with developed details from traditional geometry for new parts instead of looking exactly like the old version building. In addition, I could not find a reason for adding that steel arc in front of the building that I think does not match the buildings. Your benefit from energy efficiency potential studies will add value to your project that I appreciate it. Thanks, Soheil.
