If at any point in your life, you wondered why the room is dark, why the air is not fresh, or why the speech in an auditorium sounds muffled, the answers lie within building physics.
In the mood to learn a bit about building physics? Here is a ROOM for you to play with.
Check this video of some interactive visual displays inside:
Ideas behind ROOM
Playing with ROOM generally follows the pattern below.
It encourages you to visualise the hidden parameters of building design that controls the flow of light, air, heat and sound, to use it as a source of inspiration in the process of developing a design.
ROOM currently covers seven topics: sunlight access, daylight access, natural ventilation, fabric heat transfer, approximation of heating demand, thermal comfort, and sound reverberation, all embeded in the context of a room.
Upcoming event
I will be discussing about ROOM and evironmental design in architectural education in the architecture research forum at University of Westminster Marylebone campus on 03 November.
I am also more than happy to give a demo of ROOM and discuss in detail should you be interested in further engaging with the platform and my research.
