Search for the problems
Yesterday and today afternoon I had the second and third meetings with my Research tutor. Regina introduce two students who are doing the graduation design to me, they are also studying the interior environment of the faculty, which has a lot of common ground with my plan to study, and I therefore get a lot of the information contained measuring temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentrations as well as the heating system temperature data in the building, that can help me understand the current physical environment disadvantage of the buildings, but also an important foundation information for the development of design.
Case Study:"Tower of Wind"
I provided a case study which i think is similar to my preliminary concept; the "Tower of wind" design by Toyo Ito, built in 1986 near the central railway station in Yokohama, Japan. This case for me has a large lesson, the project was not a new construction, but transformation of an existing reinforced concrete tower. Not to undermine the premise under to give old buildings a new look, and combine the function of the original old buildings at the same time, the use of new technology so that there is no characteristic appearance of the original into a new local landmark.
Here is the link to my analysis:
Toyo Ito_1986 Tower of Wind
As I selected the project, the existing facade of Faculty of Architecture, there is no particular impression on people, while in the interior space, there are also some problems of the physical environment, such as sunlight, temperature and ventilation, etc. Therefore, I hope be able to address these environmental issues, also can give the building a distinctive appearance. After all, this is the Faculty of Architecture,it should be something different, something interesting.

Last Thursday I have the first meeting with my Research tutor, Regina. During the meeting, i indicated the idea of renovating the old facade or make a new skin to improve the quality of interior space. In this way, i would like to focus on some environmental issues like sunlight, temperature, humidity, and for analysis to find out the problems. Then figure out the solution, suppose to be a new facade system.
Regina also make a number of recommendations for my ideas about improving the quality of indoor environment. She noticed that the effects of the sunlight is not the most serious problem, with a focus on improving the overall temperature, humidity are more important; and there are now many ways to renovate can achieve my purpose, she suggested that I must clarify the ideas for improving the facade system in this regard.
In addition, Regina also think I can try to compare the performance of new facade under different climate system conditions, such as comparative European and Asian climate patterns.

Presentation
We presented the research and the main question yesterday.
Although my presentation is not very well, but the instructors and tutors are still gave me a lots of comments about my subject.
Here is the link to my presentation:

I think the comments from Andre and Michela yesterday were really helpful.
I have to focus on one aspect of the facade performance. It's not so clear which the problem i interested most in my presentation, but the environmental issues.
According to my own experience in the building of the Architecture Department, I think the natural light in building is very interesting. And i discover a daylight problem in the building, the sun light will directly through the existing facade and occur indoors in the morning and afternoon, this would be the main problem i need to solve.

Subjects and Questions (2009-02-05)
Subject
I plan to be able to compare with the old building's facade and the facade of new buildings. Try to explore the differences between new and old buildings facade, as well as the environmental conditions changes of the interior space.
About the relationship between facade and interior of old buildings; I intend to present the faculty of Architecture of TU Delft as the object to do the research. And about the relationship of the new buildings; I am going to take the library of TU Delft as the object.
In understanding the difference between, I will create a new facade system, a combination of the advantages from new and old buildings.
Main Question
Can the new facade system be better than the existing facade?

Stand Up Architecture Topic (2009-02-03)
Research motivation
After a semester of courses, I understand something new and different view of design for the facade, not only with the design concepts from the designers, more importantly, to meet their basic needs to the physical environment. This is a very different point of view from the education I got before, and also aroused my interest in facade design. In addition, by learning the theory of building physics, like heat and moisture, acoustic, such courses, and knowing how to use the software i had ever seem before, gave me many new ways of thinking. Particularly the software about building physics analysis; the software to provide adequate information to help designers to solve the problem of many of the physical environment, makes me more deeply interested in the design of facade and to solve the facade and interior space physics environmental issues.
It is because of these reasons, I hope I can continue in this semester of study in this regard.
Topic of interest
I come from an Asian country, therefore, exposed to the different ways solving the physical environment problems of different areas. Therefore, I hope to combine the previous concepts learned in Asia; and the new knowledge from my last semester here in Delft, to try to solve some practical problems. Preliminary ideas based on the existing building facade as an example, find out the solution of the physical environment problems; so as to provide the basis for an extension of the facade and another new system.
Tentative ideas to improve the old building facade mainly by using the analysis software, to identify the problems. The heat, moisture and sunlight as the main direction of research and improvement, and may try to use new materials or natural ways to improve the facade system.
