Instead of a copy of the block, I want to minimise and made
it simpler by using curve line or the shape and form that
already exist around there so it is blending in with the sur-
rounding but not the exact cloning of the existing block.

Thinking about flow in the space and also the form and shape of the
installation. There are two other factors, prevailing wind and sun-
light are also very important, having great effect on temperature.
When standing or sitting in the shade or shadow, one can feel cool-
er although the temperature hasn’t changed. Similarly, heat from
standing in the middle of the field with a direct sun can be reduced
with the coming wind.

One of the most widely-used techniques, com-
mon in Spanish regions of Fermoselle and Saya-
go, is “evaporative cooling process,” which uses
water to cool down air before entering the build-
ing. Rock and soil are used as the main water-
proof materials while absorbing water and wet-
ness from ground up to walls, making the house
cooler.
So, I think it’s also a good idea to put this water
element into the installation. Since it’s often rain
in The UK. I think it could be the idea of fenel
shape that keep the rain on the flat roof in the
middle and also create this water wall down the
gap between the inner room and the outer room.

Studies on the technical part of the ventila-
tion system and innovations available these
days provides a basis for the final outcome
of this research, the installation King’s Cross
Station area.
Exploring vernacular architecture for a sus-
tainable ventilation system that would be
applicable for the station first led me to
“bioclimatic solution,’ the understanding
of the climate and the surrounding where it
sits. Material, throughout the whole house,
is the next important element to the venti-
lation system.

I investigated air purifier comprising vertical walls with fans
installed to draw air into the first enclosure and blow out to
the other end. Inside, a HEPA filter, standing for “high-effi-
ciency particulate absorber”, is a type of filter that absorbs
dust of 0.3 microns or greater and removes up to 99.97
per cent of the dust; sometimes there is additional carbon
filter to remove odour as well. The disadvantage, however,
is that this filter needs to be changed regularly.
So I think I would apply this technology to the layers of the
wall will have an air purifier inside there will be layers of
filters and other generators inside.

RENDER IMAGES The idea of two layers is to make two different transition
from outside, which is very busy, noisy and polluted air to
the inside which calm, clean and fresh.
First layer aim is to give this feeling of freshness as you
entre there is the waterfall in the middle to keep the tem-
perature and humidity level but you will still hear the noise
from the ventilation wall. As you entre the second layer, it
will be quieter and also brighter with the natural light from
the skylight flat glass roof.
