AbstractThe project aims to address the flaws of the typical building design, due to the late planning and fragmentation in the building industry as a whole, Improved Integrative Design Process (IIDP) has been developed to solve the various flaws that confront the typical building design in Dubai, thus achieve a high performance building that is work to serve it occupants with the maximum efficiency not the vice versa.

This book describes the process and the methodology of implement-ing Improved Integrative Design Process on a mixed-used BURJ AL-TAKAMOL tower that is located in Dubai, lagoons.

The implementation of the process was in four phases:

- Design Brief that describe the project intent from the stakeholder point of view

- Design Proposal which describes each specialist point of view , the recommendations & the strategies to achieve their interests at the early stages of design

- Architectural Design the concept & development of the building de-sign according to the recommendation that has been set in the third phase.

- Assessment of Integration the verification of the architectural de-sign according to the integration assessment criteria to that leads to each specialist satisfaction.

- Improved Integrative Design Process Overview

o WHAT IS IIDP: Is a collaborative method for designing buildings which em-phasizes the development of a holistic design with different aspects of view at the early stages , that achieve more energy and resources efficient results by optimizing whole systems for multiple benefits– cultural, environmental ,eco-nomical and technical as a whole interdependent system, not disjoint com-ponents for single benefits, and this often makes gains in end- use efficiency much bigger and cheaper than conventionally supposed.

8

o WHY: Because it address the flaws of the typical building design, due to the late planning and fragmentation in the building industry as a whole, while the typical design process is linear and sequential, this path does not take into account all affected parties’ needs, areas of expertise or insights at the early stages of the design decisions. So, using the typical building design method, incompatible elements of the design are not discovered until late stages in the process when it is expensive to make changes. Thus typical building design method can actually make a system less efficient, simply by not properly linking up those fragments. If they’re not designed to work with one another, they’ll tend to work against one another.

9

o HOW it works: Design of the building will be viewed as an interdependent system, as opposed to an accumulation of its separate components.

The work structure of the process will be divided into two main interdependent

stages, the Design Brief and the Design Proposal. Design Brief will discuss mainly the recommendation that have been set by the client, and the program plus the cost-benefit analysis that have been developed by the project manag-er.

Design Proposal which is derived from the design brief will discuss the rec-ommendations that have been developed by the project manager & the spe-cialists which will affect the design decisions, thus it will be considered as the starting point of the architect to begin his work.

10

Due to the region concern and project type consideration we have chosen an office/residential mixed used tower to implement the idea of the process and see its feasibility on the future towers that will be built in Dubai.

11

- Process Methodology

o The implementation of the process will be in Four phases :

Phase one : the requirements from the client to the project manager to develop the “Design brief “

Phase two : the recommendation of each specialist into the” design proposal “

Phase three: the architectural design of the building.

Phase four: integration assessment -verification of the satisfaction of each specialist.

12

o Phase one “ Design brief “

The client requirements

Contract type

Since the complexity of the project, we suggest to the client to choose management contracting where a client employs a management con-

tractor to manage the construction phase of a project to insure the integration is fully achieved according to the process intent.

• Passive design

number target strategies comments

1 Heat avoidance & indirect daylighting oriented on the east-west axis reduce highest levels of solar heat gains on

their eastern and western walls in the summer

2 Reduce cooling demand

High rise buildings of similar heights should be avoided as

they limit air movement

Massing of buildings should also be seen in their urban context, to provide a cirulated air

that reduces heat gain.

3 Heat avoidance & indirect daylighting

through the exo-sekelton structure that works as shading devices for the building & the use of movable louvers from

inside

Operable shading devices offer the flexibility of adjusting shading blades or shutters to allow ventilation and daylighting into interior spaces

without admitting direct heat gain.

4 Heat avoidance The use of double layers of glass with an certain gap in

betwean

the gap will functions as an heat insulation by the movement of air inside which will also

o Phase three: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Brain storming (mass configuration )

This stage was the most important stage of design process since the design decisions were limited by the design proposal recommendations that address different points of view and thus make the decision much harder.

So we developed an evaluation criteria that satisfy the interested par-ties in this stage.

20

The evaluation criteria were based on:

Focusing on the desired end-use places purposes and application be-fore equipment, efficiency before supply, passive before active, simple before complex.

Broadening design scope embraces whole systems and sets end-use performance metrics.

Analyzing gaps between theoretical minimum requirements and typical usage reveals overlooked opportunities for elegant frugality.

Optimizing systems, not isolated parts, lets single expenditures yield multiple benefits.

Evidence-based analysis supplants rules of thumb.

Measurement and prudence replace mindless oversizing and allow operational risks to be managed explicitly and intelligently.

End-use savings multiply upstream energy and capital savings, so effi-ciency logic is sequenced in the direction opposite to energy flow.

Design satisfies rare conditions (making appropriate trade offs and engaging end-users), but emphasizes typical conditions to maximize performance integrated over the range.

Controls and embedded sensors create intelligence and learning, so design can be optimized in real operation and further improved in future applications.

Designing from scratch, at least initially, creatively harnesses “begin-ner’s mind,” spans disciplinary silos, surpass traditional solutions, and further expand the design space.

21

Configuration alternatives

These alternatives have been arranged from the most suitable config-uration to the lowest according to the elevation criteria for the concept mass modeling.

So, the first mass model has been chosen to be developed and satisfy the specialists’ interests.

22

This photo show the conclusion of what are the best mass model con-figuration can be used to be developed depending on the best ideas that has been driven from the previous stage.

23

Mass model development

The building mass is set to be on different layers which satisfied the evaluation criteria.

The splash : a double glazed glass screen which is elongated along the east-west direction and positioned on the south face of the building, that protect the building from the direct heat gain to reduce its cooling demand and also create a wind tunnel through its 8 parts divisions that is set to create a positive pressure by its 5m gap in the direction of the prevailing wind (north-west )and a negative pressure on the other end by its 1m distance gap that accelerate the wind between the building façade and the splash screen and thus drive the wind towards the top of the building by convection through absorption of façade heat.

Residential mass: the second component of the building is the res-idential part that is located attached to the office building by a core which increases the efficiency of the planning for both components through the common area.

The mass is set to be a part of a circle in plan to maximize shading

On the office part and also maximize views in both directions to give

The user the spectacular views of the lagoons.

The mass is set to be ascending toward the middle of the tower which add more views and satisfy structural symmetrical requirements and creates more usable open spaces one different height strata.

24

Core mass: the third component of the building is the core which is located to be the key stone for both the residential and the office mass-es, the core is a concrete shear box the is meant to be in the middle of the overall mass to provide a more efficiency in terms of planning, and on the other hand act as a torsional box that protect building from twisting due to lateral loads.

Office mass : the offices is located on the north side of the building which is protected from the east, west and south by the residential mass from the direct sunlight and thus create a more comfortable spac-es to work more efficient.

The initial energy mass model had been set to verify the location, orien-tation and position of the building fragments in its whole set and within its environment.

Fortunately, the energy mass model give a results that satisfied the intent of sustainability consultant which increase the heat avoidance and reduce the cooling demand of the building by 60% comparing to a conventional building of the same type .

25

The wind analysis has been verified that the wind is at the peak speed at the gap between the building and the splash and thus achieves the expectations of the sustainability consultant to generate the on-site renewable energy by the dynamic wind turbines.

26

Preliminary Design

• Site plan

The site is bounded by a green area from the west and south, while from the north it is adjutant to the focal point of the lagoons where the biggest project will be done, and last but not least it is bounded from the east by a street which is consider the only access for the automobile vehicles.

The building footprint is covering about 35% of the site area which gives the site more open space that protect the on-site habitat.

The street is a four lane two-way road that leads the automobile to an underground parking or to the drop off area of the offices, residential and retail entrances.

27

The access for the garbage track is set be on the open grid pavement at the south direction of the site which get a multiple benefit that reduce hard-scape on-site and increase vegetation since it only meant to be an access for the track in a specified period of time during the day.

On the west belt of the site, the site is designed to provide a walkway with a retail spaces on a side that gives more special feature which may attract non-building us-ers to the site.

28

• Underground parking

According to the client requirement to achieve at least 1880 parking spaces the 5 levels underground parking achieve this intent with the with the minimum require-ment .

Mostly the design of parking is set to be designed with logic to the user mentality and to get the most number of lots with a radial distribution of columns along the site area.

The access for each parking is from the two ramps that are set in the dead area where the columns become closer to each other that prevent the cars to park.

Other concern is set for the water tanks, gray and black water recycling systems

29

which will be described later.

30

Like most of the other towers the ground floor plan is set to be divided into lobbies, services rooms and retail spaces.

But to give a more value for the leasable area the retail spaces where divide into two zones, near to the main vehicles access to the site there is two retail spaces that doesn’t require involving the users into the building, a bank and its ATM machines for the all users and a governmental retail for transactions as TASJEEL.

While on the other side of the building a long retail spaces that accumulate 16 shop spaces into a two story that is access from a semi-closed pedestrian walkways and serviced by a big porches for sitting areas.

On the core of the building which is meant to be designed separate the access of the residents of the building from the office works it leads the residents to a supermarket that is meant to serve them for their daily goods.

The services of the building are located on the south façade and can be accessed from the south open grid pavement road which doesn’t interfere with the building users.

• Typical -01

Here in this floor we can see the typical floor planning of the building from level 1 up to level 19.

In this floor there are four 3-bedroom apartments & six 2-bedroom apartments & eight 1-bedroom apartments & eight studio apartments.

These were have been set according to achieve a greater value for the building by its diversity and location , the most preferable views is on the north of the building where it was positioned for a 1-bedroom apartment and a corner 3-bedroom apart-ment the while on the other hand the other side apartment where set to be an studios and 2-bedroom apartment and as previous a corner 3-bedroom apartment these flats where set not on the most preferred view but where given more spaces for view since the façade over their where concave up to give more portion of view.

Each apartment where designed on the basic of 4 elements: provide as much as possible of living space, create a visual continuity and a pleasing impression for the

33

users, provide as much as possible of natural day lighting penetration by locating the wet area far away from the façade of the building, and last but not least is the simplic-ity which gives a more value for more placing furniture possibilities.

These apartments is served by a core that have a 5 elevators +1 good elevator, and infrastructure services and a garbage chute that is designed to be for recycling.

On the north side of the building the office spaces is serviced by 8 elevators and a two separate bathrooms for ladies and gentlemen, these office space is meant to be left without division to give the flexibility to the rented firm to address his intent in the division and decorations, but its advised to use low part ions desks with a top glass portion to maximize views and day lighting penetrations

34


In this floor there are six 2-bedroom apartments & eight 1-bedroom apartments & eight studio apartments.

In this section of the building the modular unit has disappeared from both sides of

• Typical -02

35

the building which make change in the value of the corner 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment, thus they get more value for their 2 sides views and daylight penetration.

The structure of the building become less, so it increases the value and gives a more rigid common structural system to the building.

36

• Health club

As usually in high rise building, this level was specified to have a 354 sq. Meter gymnasium that served the tenants of the building plus its wet area the gymnasium is meant to get a 3-sides view to the surrounding to motivate the users by the hori-zon view and the huge penetration of daylight into the gymnasium, the gymnasium is divided into two parts: indoor and outdoor to increase the value of the services in the building and thus add a luxurious value to the apartment.

On the other side of the level a massage, personal training and a therapy room that were located on the perimeter of the building that gives the users the spectacular views of the surrounding.

37

The outdoor swimming pool is one of the most amazing features of this building since it is located on 161 meter height from the ground level to increase the value of the building in terms of its services.

On the office side were some of the offices needs place to take a break from the working environment the design meant to specify a coffee shop with an indoor/out-door setting area to give them the chance to release the working stress.

38

• Typical -03


In this floor there are 4 2-bedroom apartments & four 1-bedroom apartments & six studio apartments.

Again In this section of the building the modular unit has disappeared from both sides of the building which make change in the value of the corner 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment, thus they get more value for their 2 sides views and daylight penetration.

39

The structure of the building become less, so it increases the value and gives a more rigid common structural system to the building as it become less weight when it get higher.

40

• Pent house -01

One of the most amazing apartment units were the 2 floor bent houses since they are located on the heights point of the building they were designed to be one of its kind among all the other pent houses.

These luxuries bent houses were featuring outdoor spaces that contain swimming pools to add value for them and where designed to be for the rich people since they are very expensive apartment that have a special design.

42

• Pent house -02

Here is the second level of the bent houses these bent houses were treated in the design as a villa design which is suggested to be for a rich family.

• Sections

The sixty story building where divided into 4 segments vertically these segments where gradually decrease when it gets more higher to satisfy the low cost structure and gives more outdoor space that usable for the building on the top of each seg-ment.

The ground floor which is a 7m height contains mostly the services lobbies and retail spaces of the building.

The mezzanine floor is designed to give more space for the retails which gives more efficiency in the planning.

The typical planning for the apartments is set to start from level (1-19) (20-38) (41-55) which contain a variety of 10 unit apartments that is located and specified into a certain positions.

The office building which is linked by the residential building by the core is typically the same all over the levels (1-39) (41-55).

Mechanical floors where set on top of the two middle segments level 39 & 56 to give a space for the huge depth beams to carry the loads of the swimming pools above it directly.

The health club floor level 40 where set above of the mechanical floor to give him the ability to occupy an outdoor space since it is a common area for all tenants plus to make it at the middle of the apartment units to be easy accessible by the most of the tenants and workers at offices.

• Renders

To complete with the full image of the building some renders where taking from differ-ent positions to visualize the previous illustration of the building.

o Phase four: integration assessment

This section will verify each specialist satisfaction of the architectural design of the building according to the design proposal that have been set at the early stages of the project.

Since the main concept of this project is the integration between the specialist to give them a bigger view to the project the weight in the assessment criteria will be distributed equally among them all, to avoid the bias of one filed among the others.

51

Project manager

• Building program

Here we construct a table that illustrate to the project manager the program of the site including all leasable area that is set to be done in the project proposal .

The program has satisfied the project manager needs and illustrates the leasable areas versus the services that set to complete the building design demand.

52

• Cost/benefit analysis

The updated documents for the cost/benefit analysis has been set to by the project manager to comply with the business plan that has been set at phase two to recheck the business case and the level of achievement to whether to proceed or not.

This document has been attached with a payback period analysis of the project to get a final result of 4-5 years payback period which comply 100% with the expectation at phase one “Design Brief”.

53

Structural Engineer

• Seismic design

According to seismic design consideration the architectural de-sign was:

24m wide base and a 237 meter height which consider in width to height ratio 1/10 which satisfy the condition for high-rise buildings since the minimum width to height ratio is 1/8 as rule of thumb for convention structural systems.

3.5m floor to floor height almost was used in the building to give a stiffer structure among the seismic loads.

The symmetrical planning with a concrete shear box in the mid-dle satisfies the torsional resistance case.

And a convention structural system of a two way slab that is rest on beams will give direct load path towards the ground.

Parking Columns

Building Beams

• Tributary area

55

The underground parking have been used the RC troughed slab system and this plan shows tributary area (loads above)of each columns to show that it satisfy the table of economical use of structural system on the base of the rule of thumb and the plan shows that the spans doesn’t exceed the span of 12m which is in the range of the typical economical span range for the RC troughed slab

The next plan shows the typical floor slabs of the building which is the two way slab systems and this plan shows the tributary area of each beam that doesn’t exceed 12m span range which is in the range of the typical economical span range for the RC troughed slab.

• Attached structure

Other concern of the structural engineer is that the splash which is consider as an external steel structural element that is at-tached to the building at its slabs and help with the load path distribution to be externally/internally rather than internally only.

Shading devices were also having a steel structure that transfers its loads through tensioned cables to the floor slabs and eventu-ally to the columns to be driven to the ground.

57


• LEED

Most of our design decisions were made based LEED strate-gies not only to earn points in different categories, But to create a sustainable yet functional design that serves the needs and keeps the basic characteristics of a sustainable building. In this section, different LEED categories and credits will be described briefly.

58

• Sustainable Site ( SS ) :

Sustainable site category concerns about the different elements of a sustainable site, having elements like bicycle racks, shaded areas and public open spaces. It also concerns in some materials choice such as high Albedo materials and pervious pave-ment, the total amount of points obtained from this category is 25 Points.

60

• Water Efficiency (WE) :

The second category for LEED is the water efficiency, which assures that the build-ing uses an efficient amount of water and doesn’t produce a huge amount of water waste, and it starts from the water used in the site, Process water and water used by the users of the building, the total amount of points obtained in this category is 10 Points.

62

• Energy and atmosphere (EA) :

Which is the third category in LEED and mainly focuses on the energy related per-formance of the building, energy production systems on site and the life cycle energy of the building materials and elements, The total amount of points obtained from this category is 27 points.

64

• Materials and resources (MR):

The forth category for LEED is the Materials and resources which assures that the building is using the virgin materials efficiently and the waste of the construction and the life cycle use of the building is reduced and managed, The total amount of point obtained from this category is 7 Points.

66

• Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) :

Which is the fifth Category concerns on the comfort-ability of the users of the building in many aspects such as Thermal and light comfort and pollutant produced by the different activities in the building from the construction phase to smoking and clean-ing activities.

68

• Innovation in Design (ID) :

The last category of LEED, Which allows the designer to earn extra points by achiev-ing exemplary performance in any of the other LEED categories, or by hiring a LEED professional assistance, or by practicing the integrated design process, For the ex-emplary performance the building uses the Black and gray water treatment system, and for the integrated design process the building follows the improved integrative design process that was introduced by this project. The total point that was obtained

69

in this category is 2 Points.

At the end of LEED categories, the design acquired 86 Points which gives it a LEED platinum according to the LEED credits system by achieving the prerequisites and the doable credits in each category.

70

• Passive Design :

Some other design Decisions were made based on climatic information of the site for more than one goal such as reducing the heat gain of the building which in effect reduces the cooling loads, give sufficient wind speed to the turbines to rotate and generate energy in all times and to choose the suitable building materials for such climate.

Sun exposure analysis:

71

As seen in the above Sun exposure diagrams, the splash were located around the building covering the path of the sun pro-tecting the building prom the heat but keeping the views and the light.

Wind analysis:

As well as the Solar exposure diagram, a Wind tunnel exper-iment were made on the model to show that the splash is not only for preventing the heat to reach the building, but also to gather and deliver the wind to the turbines, either the prevailing wind of the area or the hot air entering the area between the splash and the building from the bottom and rising up cooling the facades and rotating the turbines.

72

MEP Engineer

• Duct plan

Here in this inverted ceiling plan and as the recommendation of the MEP engineer the ducts where used to be designed in the shortest path which is the main cardioid of the building.

SupplyReturn

73

SupplyReturn

This plan shows the false ceiling plan in the most critical floor plan which is (typical -01) the design intent meant to use the shortest way for the ducts to reach all over the spaces into the building and thus present a better value in terms of economic and spaces.

74

• District cooling

This photo were to show the mechanism of the cooling district system where the supplied 3 degree Celsius pipe entrance the building to be distributed among the apartments and then return the heated water to the supplier again.

75

• Wind turbine

This photo were to show the mechanism of the dynamic wind turbine system that is at the top of the building and the space at it bottom for the generates as the recommendation.

76

• Water cycle

This diagram explain the cycle of the water within the building since form were the disposal water came from the wet area in the building and the go to the underground tanks that transfer it to water treatment system that send it back to the upper tank to be reused by the non-potable water usage and for irrigation also.

77


• Plant species

•

Here is a table that shows the planting species that has been used in the project to make sure that we haven’t exceed the expectations.

78

• Storm water management

In this plan you can see the path of storm water into each portion of site and how we control the storm water runoff.

• Green roof Detail

In this working drawing shows the mechanism of installation of working drawing the green roof that is the higher floor.

- Conclusion

Improved Integrative Design Process were mainly concern about the integration be-tween the building elements to create an interdependent systems that avoid THE CON-FLICT between building elements and thus creating a system that works with one other rather than against one another .

IID process has enhanced the design strategies between the different specialists by direct the goal of the project towards environmental –economical- technical benefits with-out interfere with the various specialists interests.

The implementation of this process give the acknowledgment to the designer “which is the architect” about the project various circumstances to achieve the intent from different aspects that lead to high performance building, the architect avoid the conflict between his and other specialists interest that conclude with the process intent.
