S1E13 - Episode #13 - competing design parameters in the context of the design of openings to a building
Update: 2022-11-15
Description
Episode Notes
In this episode we look at competing design parameters with a focus on an aspect of the design of openings to external walls. The example we look at is windows - which in itself is a big design consideration (as evidenced by an origin story I tell in regards to one of my earlier experiences reviewing the design of windows to the house I grew up in). However, the exercise comes with the complication that a fairly common client vision - maximise the extent of ventilation - is in conflict with the requirements for fall prevention under the Building Code of Australia. We talk through the options to resolve this using the case study of the replacement of all the windows to a heritage sensitive apartment block in metropolitan Sydney.
