I do not recall seeing any temperature readings from inside the building? That seems to me to be an essential part of the story and its absence raises questions about the effectivness of the design.

Talk talk talk...no real videos

That is a sail. That would only work in place where there's very little wind..

An earth ship design would also serve this purpose.

130 KWh/sq meter? Seems pretty high. My current apartment is using about 42 KWh/sq m/day... Efficiencies vary, and this is a nicer, newer, more efficient building. Perhaps she's referring to buildings built 50 years ago, etc.. Either way, the point that if we build with efficiency in mind, and build long lasting buildings, we can save both energy and building waste over time. This is very similar to Earthships from Michael Reynolds out of Taos, NM. His philosophy is simple: Architects are the ones that can save this planet, by simply using more intelligent designs. Bravo Sara! We need more of this!

my school was designed almost like that, and guess what... we got no roof after a storm with strong wind blown our roof awayyyy.... it's just strong wind storm not tornado or hurricane... the other roof are still intact, but not our class I've been thinking all these times and can't ask anyone with expertise, what about the roof have many little holes? so whenever strong wind blown it can go through?

IN Palm Springs Ca. there are trailer parks where people are doing something like this, they are building large patio covers over their trailers to block 100 % of the direct sun light.

Is the air filtered for mold in the ventilation channels? As there will be moist inside the pipes - mold will form and contaminate the air quality

Our ancestors used to be very good with these but we lost/ignore this kind of technology because we follow the trending

I feel like this will be a budget Panamera…

"Often exceeding 35 degrees Celsius in the hottest month of the year". Ha ha! Come to Greece. Not only is all summer more than 35 (from the beginning of June or earlier!), but we often go to more than 40 for long stretches, day after day. Certainly so under the sun or while in a car.

The color of the top is change the temperature of the house That it very very gent, Maybe white color on the top is good choice!

What is the temperature inside the classroom? What if you don't have wind? How does it cool below the ambient temperature? And of course what are the humidity levels?

Those techniques have been used for 100s of yrs in the middle east, called Wind towers, or Barjeel.

Awesome! It seems like cob would integrate nicely with this kind of a design as well!

I had an architect who built his Biophilic home in a similar style in a nice neighborhood here in Tampa, FL. The city made him build a large fence to cover the home because they thought it a blight and out of place. It was back in the 80s. Today they’d probably be fine with it. It was surprisingly comfortable inside even during out hot humid summers.

Saw this video a few years ago. Very good.

You just said 101.2 Degrees Celsius @ 3:07

If u want to drop the temperature in the classroom further, you can make the walls at around 1 feet thick..this will prevent the outside heat to penetrate the thick wall..apart from.that, you can make wind holes at around one feet above the ground in the walls. This is because, cooler air is heavier than hot air. With these holes, the cooler air can travel into the classroom, cooling it n push the hot air ( which is lighter) up to the open roof..if your roof is not designed as such, you can still make air holes above your windows to let the hot air out n circulate d air in the room.

That’s great! I can’t imagine getting a city permit for making holes in my roof to put a second roof on it

Glaringly absent from this low tech design is the incorporation of horizontal geothermal earth tunnels to bring in air cooler than the daily shade.

She's gasping for breath forcing herself to speak So awkward exhausting they way she speaks

Hi Sara, My name is Juhi. You are such a wonderful person moreover an Architect. You are really a good guide for me indirectly because I am in a stage in which I wonder what to do next in my career life. I completed my b.arch of 5years from India in 2015 and holds the architectural registration. I really wished to do masters from UK and the title as an Architect. But due to family issues, I couldn't take the masters immediately after my under graduation and now its been a 9 years gap which makes me uncomfortable to re-enter to the world of architecture. I was practicing from India but not intensively. So please help me out to figure out what to do next. Now I am in UK just reached 3weeks back, hoping my dream will come true once. Waiting for your valuable reply and guidelines. Thank you

Is it 21c in there otherwise it's not cool

Beautifully done 👍👍👍👍👍

Can this design be applied to a residential house in Miami-Dade County Florida; considering the HURRICANE season!

They missed out on densely planting the grounds which can drop the temp by 10-12 degrees, as the plants act as shade & natural air-conditioners. Its not just the buildings that need good design.

All fine and dandy except for "climate change"....

You don't need to put toxic tires in your walls. Build rammed earth walls with no tires in them, easy, fast, cheap. Earthship are expensive to build and very, very labor intensive. And not one earthship ever built will ever produce enough food for one person let alone a family. David Easton on rammed earth is the best. If you haven't built one and don't live in one you shouldn't give advice on building technologies.

In the country that this building is, the building is made of stone ❓ I noticed when I was in Mexico and Ethiopia, stone was big as in 🇺🇸 it is not. Living in 🇺🇸, where houses are not made of stone... How would that work for non stone structures ❓

I have a master degree from Europe and my bachelor degree is from the middle east, can I work as an architecture assistant in the UK? PS: I am currently living in the UK

i live in the same climate and would ölove to incorporate this in my future home, i've seen so many cool videos on those air tunnels and how they work! they're apparently way more common in very hot climates where they built entire towers as air catchers! triple pane windows are just the new standard for european countries in this climate tho, they're nothing unusual or overly expensive generally

This helps a lot. I've feeling lost after I graduated, thank you for showing how there are actually different types of architects. God bless you 🤍

Very cool! 🤩 Initially no pun intended, but now it is. 😂

WELL HELL, I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA WERE ITS ALWAYS OVER A 100 DEGREES FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS OF THE YEAR, 95 IS NOTHING

Stop with the climate change lingo.. there is no such thing as climate change.

So this will not work in a humid subtropical or tropical climates.

The lower roof's gonna be filled with bird poop in a year's time.

Would you recommend applying for and sitting for the part 1 and part 2 exam from outside of UK. I do have a 10 year experience and I think I can generate a good enough portfolio for the given criterion. But I do not have UK experience so is it worth it to apply for part 1 and 2 before moving to UK and starting a job search.

Scorching dry heat is a lot different than scorching wet heat

At 3 minutes in, it's not really accurate, that example, because the sunny side of a building is the same side all year round !

Hmmm…. I literally designed something very similar to this when I was 14 and building shelters in the woods when it was 96f on average and my little shacks would stay cool every single day. Glad to see a better explanation as to why this concept worked.

There appears to be an error at 3:10, where the summer temperature is shown as 101.1° C, and winter is 54.2°C. Those must be Fahrenheit temps, no?

I was very much into the idea of Earthships in the past. However the problems i kept hearing about them was with the water in the greenhouse they have humidity/condensation issues due to the temperature varying a lot between night and day. Also the tires when they break down emit harmful gases.

Love you 😘
