Abstract

AbstractThis paper examines the design of the facades used on the residential buildings at the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) campus. MIST is the first stage in the construction of Masdar City, a large-scale sustainable project sited in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The sustainable considerations on which the project is based are inspired by vernacular practices blended with modern technologies, a combination that targets specific climatic and cultural aims while taking into account the arid and harsh environment and also aligning design parameters with local needs. Through these considerations and responses, the paper highlights the residential building facades as important sustainable design strategies due to the fact that they envelope buildings and protect their units. Based on passive vernacular practices, they impact buildings and units in terms of cooling, shading, and lighting, meaning that an efficient design can reduce the energy requirements and reliance on active systems a...

可持续建筑，相互作用和相互关系:住宅建筑立面的案例研究

摘要本文研究了马斯达尔科学技术学院(MIST)校园住宅建筑立面的设计。MIST是马斯达尔城建设的第一阶段，马斯达尔城是一个位于阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的大型可持续项目。该项目基于可持续发展的考虑，其灵感来自与现代技术相结合的本土实践，结合了特定的气候和文化目标，同时考虑到干旱和恶劣的环境，并使设计参数与当地需求保持一致。通过这些考虑和回应，本文强调了住宅建筑立面作为重要的可持续设计策略，因为它们包围了建筑并保护了其单元。基于被动的本土实践，它们在冷却、遮阳和照明方面影响建筑和单元，这意味着高效的设计可以减少能源需求和对主动系统的依赖。
