Analysis of a 2016 Higher Level Paper Question
In this KZitem video analysis, the presenter delves into question 3 from the 2016 higher level paper, a popular question challenging students to redesign the layout of a building to improve natural light penetration. The initial design includes a south-facing front elevation with a 300 millimeter external concrete block wall, a load-bearing cavity wall, and low levels of natural light entering the building.
Question Breakdown:
Part A: Students are tasked with sketching modifications to allow more light into the building, focusing on external and internal layout revisions.
Part B: Explores the rationale behind the design choices, divided into external and internal reasons.
Design Modifications:
External Changes: Increased window sizes, added skylights to the side pitch for improved light penetration.
Internal Changes: Removed front walls to create an open-plan space, relocated rooms for better light utilization.
Rationale for Design Choices:
External: Larger south-facing windows to intensify sunlight, skylights for deep light penetration.
Internal: Rearranged rooms based on light usage frequency, keeping most-used rooms on the sun-exposed side for efficient solar heat gain.
The presenter emphasizes complying with the question requirements, providing detailed sketches, and explaining design reasons concisely for maximum points.
By mirroring the given question and offering comprehensive responses, students can effectively showcase their understanding of architectural design principles and considerations for optimizing natural light utilization in building layouts.
