Comments from the interim and changes:

One of the comments from the interim is the scale of the shutter shouldn't be the as it should depends on how much light does that area needs. Therefore, I will change the size and the number of the shutters. For example, the living room area will change to 4 shutter because it needs more light for working on that area. Also the shutter can be controlled individually. So the sunlight will not directly go in when there is someone sleeping. The kitchen will have a bigger shutter than the bathroom as it is not necessary to have such big shutter on the top of bathroom. Also the presentation board have to make it looks more like a presentation board.

Summary of selected location and natural disaster:

QUEENSLAND FLOODS(2010-2011)



Queensland Floods (Much of the central and Southern suburbs were affected)
 - At least 70 towns with more than 200,000 people affected
 - 28,000 homes flooded
 - December 2010 - January 2011
 - 38 dead and 6 missing
 - Caused 2.38 billion AUD
 - Peaked at 4.46m on 13 January



Aftermath
 - Don’t drink any water from taps or tanks until your council or authority advises its safe to do so
 - Flood water can be contaminated
 - Consider flood proofing materials
Impacts
 - Inflated banana prices after being destroyed 75% of the crop
 - Imposed Flood levy

Focusing City - Brisbane

Brisbane is an urban city and the houses that existed before the disaster a hotels, homes and all different types of buildings and resorts.

Affected
- Tens of thousands of homes at risk and fears for citizens’ safety
- The banks of the Brisbane River have broken and hit Brisbane
- 20,000 properties to experience complete flooding in Brisbane

Geography
-Most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland
-The city is centred along the Brisbane River
-The urban area, including the central business district, are partially elevated by spurs of the Herbert Taylor Range
-The city is on a low-lying floodplain
-Brisbane has a humid subtropical climate

Client:

For 2 people which is not couples

Concept of home:

For my concept of home, a home is not a place only for people living, eating or sleep but also a place for people who inside the area to have individual or social activities. Home is also a place for all family member to communicate and share their life experience. A home should provide both individual and social area, a place that make people feel private and safe, also feel like being a part of a community. Therefore, I think a home is not only mean the space inside the building but also the space between different houses. In my design you can see that I combined different containers to create a small community to achieve such concept. The design also provide spaces for both individual and social activities.

Week 3: Final Design

Perspective View:

Section Plan:

Floor Plan:

Design Details:

People can fold and hide the bed to create a larger area and transform the area between living room and bed room. The lower bed can also become a table for working.

All the doors are slide doors which can save more space. There are also a ladder which can slide out for accessing the upper bed.

 the containers are elevated a bit to prevent more floods, the containers have elevated a bit.

Containers can be connected together to create the feeling of a small community.

The space between containers are public space which for people to access the houses as the image shows.

Interim Presentation

Comments from the interim and changes:

One of the comments from the interim is the presentation board didn't provide enough information such as the concept of home, my client, and description of the design. Therefore I will make a new one with more details.

Also, my design didn't bring out the main idea of my concept of home which is the idea creating a small community. Therefore, I redesigned the balcony to allow different container combine together and leave some space to be the public area for entering the container and also for people who live in different units to gathering such social purpose.

Before:

After:

Another big change of my design is creating a new entry as a slide door which enter from the balcony. This because people need to close the whole balcony when they want a more private space before. People might just to lazy to fold the whole thing every time. Therefore, I created a new wall which allow people keep the balcony open once the container has set up and they don't need to close it every time when they need a private moment. The idea of connecting container also make me to have such changes as it's difficult to enter the house if the entrance at the side like before.

Brief

A home for 2 people after a disaster event

            -suit the geographic area of disaster

            -Meet the basic needs for residents

            -Easily assembled by residents if required

            -Whole design fits into 1 20ft ISO container for transportation

Shipping containers

http://jasonthomasarchitect.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/5-ideas-for-shipping-container-homes/

• The Shipping Container Tree House has dimension 570 x 371 pixels
• The idea is to limit the damages of using too much trees and soil for buildings
• This design could prevent the lost of properties by flooding.

http://www.ecochunk.com/tag/shipping-container-architecture/

• The shipping container brigde is 160-metre-long
• Designed by Yoav Messer Architects and composed of recycled waste material
• It features numerous observation points and exhibition sapaces
• The design could prevent the lost of properties by flooding.
