| THE WATER SCOOP
EFFECT |
| |
| - |
The micro climate created under the canopy
will draw moisture from the water body at
the river front into the air as the heat builds
up daily on the outside. |
| |
| - |
The moisture will naturally
be funnelled and be scooped into the covered
areas through the temperature differential
thereby further cooling the ambient temperature
to increase the comfort level in these spaces
natu rally. |
| |
| CLEAR
VISION AND NATURAL LIGHTING |
| |
| - |
The Canopy Roof effect
allows the use of lightly tinted glass to
achieve clear external visibility without
the associated heat gain in the Tropical context. |
| |
| - |
The Building Layout uses
a shallow floor plan to give deep natural
light penetration into the building. A further
energy conservation of about 5-8% is achievable. |
| |
| MATERIAL
PRESERVATION |
| |
|
| - |
The Canopy Roof performs
a function of taking the direct Ultra Violet
Ray attacks from the sun . This protective
shield will increase the building cladding
and finishes lifespan. |
| |
|
| - |
This will in turn reduce
maintenance to the building by reducing the
need for replacement especially susceptible
materials such as silicone, etc. |
