ARCHITECTURAL METHODOLOGY

1. Understanding:

Design approach is based on identifying the most criticalrequirements from both user as well as the technicalpoint of view. Architecture is not only the visual but theinternal space, where architecture is considered as asynthesis of logic and emotion, exploring and fulfi lling thedreams, fantasies and realities of clients, whether they areindividuals, corporate, or community identities.

The starting point of work is the clients program, so thefi rst step is to divide the program into its functional andspiritual components. The program is more than just a setof functional requirements, technical space allocationsand relationships. It should embody the emotional needsof the client/user to allow it to be a more productive andinspirational space.

2. Programmatic Utilization:

2.1. Function

Purely functional solutions to problems often lead to thedesign of buildings, not architecture.

When generating ideas about possible architectural designsolutions to a given problem, PCE needs to consider boththe functional and artistic aspects. A design process alwaysstarts with a concept phase.

Space, form and function constitute a large part ofarchitectural design, and are important at every stage of thedesign process. There is a need for a coherent relationshipbetween all three factors. Spatial relationships need to bestudied and explored:

• How will the space be occupied?

• Will the forms interlock or will they be adjacent to eachother?

• What will be the purpose of the building?

Through the design phases, PCE intends to answer inpractical way these questions.

2.2. Correlation

Understanding the correlation between building elements,parts and the whole, materials and performance, as wellas building and the environment is a crucial process.Architectural design is not just the space in which peoplemove and behave and interact but also it is the interaction ofspaces and their correlation that allow its users to discoverand use and support their movements, behaviour andinteractions within architectural space.

2.3. Morphology

Morphology is the study of the shape and form of buildings.The space a building occupies and the space within abuilding are very important in architecture. Understandinghow to defi ne one space, enables the overlapping ofmultiple spaces to explore the variety of spatial zonesestablished in a project. The number of different ways todefi ne a space depends on the clarity of the elements thatform the space. Form of space is considered as the principlethat gives unity to the whole. The form an architecturaldesign takes will govern the functionality of the building.

3. Environmental Impact:

Buildings in hot-humid climates need to be different fromthose in hot-dry climates.

The form an architecturaldesign takes will govern the functionality of the building.

3. Environmental Impact:

Buildings in hot-humid climates need to be different fromthose in hot-dry climates.

Heavy buildings can moderate the temperature in dry areas.In places where the climate alternates between dry and wetseasons, heavy buildings are comfortable in the dry season,but during the rainy season are damaged by mold growthcaused by condensation.

3.1. Ventilation:

Make rooms breezy: Each room needs 2 exterior walls, withmany windows or vents, including low openings.

Screen porches or verandahs to allow openings tounscreened windows in the centre of the building.

Pull breezes in with wing-walls, and shutters or casementwindows that open outward.

Although jalousie windows allow ventilation by keeping rainout while they are open, casements under an overhang canbe helpful to catch breezes. A sturdy adjustable shutter thatpivots vertically in the centre of the window sill may be ableto secure a building and catch breezes too.

Porches’ large openings ventilate adjacent rooms

Vertical screens, shutters and slit

Construction in hot areas needs to cooperate with natureto use the available materials, breezes, soils, and plants.Electricity for fans or air conditioning is unreliable Openingto the breezes is much more effective. Peoples of hotregions can defi ne buildings as roofs with spaces blendingfrom indoors to out through screens instead of walls,allowing breezes in.

A sense of security and enclosure may come more frompeople or a compound or courtyard wall than the buildingwalls themselves. No single building can satisfy all thedesign strategies for comfort listed above. To create a goodclimate responsive building one must compare them andchoose which goals are most important for the particularusers and location. How many months is it too hot, and howoften too cool? Is rain with driving winds a major problem, orconstant humidity?

3.2. Shading:

Keep sunlight off of building walls: After aiming the buildingto catch the breeze, facing the long sides (with most of thewindows) towards the south and north helps the roof tooverhang shades walls and windows in the middle of theday.

Shade in the afternoon: Keeping west and east sides shortto let less of the hot, low angle morning and afternoon sunheat up walls, especially during the hottest season.

Roofs shade walls in the middle of the day

But let in the lower afternoon sun

Cover openings on west and east ends.

Use few windows and doors. For openings use verticalsunscreens, climbing vines, or shrubs to reduce heat gainon western walls. Windows help keep low angle sun out.Use white or light colours that stays cooler on sunny walls,roof, and pavement.

4. Method of Construction:

4.1. Local Methods of Construction:

Architecture in GULF was infl uenced by rapid economic,social and cultural changes that took place in the Gulfregion. Vernacular architecture has special characterssimilar to other parts of the Gulf area. It was infl uenced bythe natural environment as well as economic, social andcultural factors.

Natural construction materials were suitable for the hotweather conditions. Stone, mud brick, wood and palm treereeds were used for walls and roofs. Several houses werebuilt using coral stones.

4.2. Innovative Methods of Construction:

However, we cannot offer the same experiment of thetraditional houses because of the type and the nature ofthe project that pushes us to using the materials with highresistivity to the aggressive circumstances and rapidlyimplicated. Thus, we have to search for the availablematerials in local market, the most conventional constructiontechnology and craftsmanship.

The choice of the construction method and structuralsystems will subject to the well established criterion suchas durability, fl exibility, economic impact and environmentalfriendly materials.

Advantages of light-weight at sea:

- Economical advantages

-Dead load paying load cost

-Less maintenance and fuel cost

- Ecological advantages

-Less fuel/load

-Environmentally friendly

-Water - treatment

- Stability advantages

-E.g. increased stability using

-Light weight superstructure.

5. Design Principles:

5.1. Urbanization:

- Diversity: The project should imply different housing typesand amenities that give variety to the dwellers. The goodunderstanding for the hierarchy of spaces and its nature isthe fi rst step in the provision of housing projects. This is whyso many low-cost housing solutions deal with the problemas a simple one of trying to pile up as many dwelling units(cells) as possible on a given site, without any concernfor the other spatial requirements. The project should fulfi lthe diversity and changes taking place in society whetherphysical or materialistic diversions. The project along lifetime may encompass three generations with differentaspirations, so the project has to respond in future to thediverse needs of different ages

- Morphology: The master plan should provide a spatialpattern that adapts with the communal needs since theappreciation of urban morphology that is, searching for thespatial units which could be arranged to form a successfulurban form.

- Coherence: The coherent here is not only concerning thephysical aspects but also the social and human aspects.The master plan should elaborate the meaning of coherencethrough an excellent forging for space with interactiverelation with the built environment. This dialogue will lead bythe end to a coherent fabric

- Flexibility: The master plan should provide easiness ofuse, future extension, embedding future component. As thedwellers ambitions and their changes the project shouldbe fl exible to changes taking place and adapt with it in ahomogenous way to fulfi l the dwellers aspirations.

5.2. Percept ionization:

- Identity: The identity of a place is comprised of threeinterrelated components, each irreducible to the otherphysical features or appearance, observable activities andfunctions, and meanings or symbols. There is an infi niterange of content within each of these and numberlessways in which they can combine. Hence there is nodiscernible limit to the diversity of identities of places, andevery identifi able place has unique content and patterns ofrelationship that are expressed and endure in the spirit ofthat place.

5.3. Sustainability:

Environment: Sustainability concepts can minimize theoverall pressure on the environment by reducing waste,pollution, dependence on virgin materials, and dependenceon disposal facilities.

Dwellers: Sustainability concepts applied to buildings canoffer many social benefi ts including:

- Enhanced satisfaction and productivity by providing moreattractive places for living and working.

- Improved health and comfort for the occupants.



28

- Support to local communities by using local resources thatprotect the local economy.

- Less dependency on foreign energy sources (e.g. the priceof fossil fuels)

- Protection of the neighbourhood through effi cient use ofresources and recycling schemes.

- Economy: Economy and environment interact togetherto shape sustainability. Economic systems impact theenvironment by using up resources, by emitting wasteproducts to receiving environmental media, by changingthe aesthetic functions of natural and built environmentsand by constituting the “new” environmental challenge forthe twenty fi rst century by altering the global life supportsystems on which we all depend.

5.4. Rationalization:

- Confi guration: Housing involves much more than justhouses. The room, the cellular unit, is but one element inthe whole system of spaces that people need in order tolive.

- Quality: It is clear that human settlements everywhere fromsmall town to sprawling metropolises have some analoguessystem. This analogue will vary according to the climate,income levels and cultural patterns of each society.

6. Frame Work:

6.1. Time allocation study :

The most infl uential determinants in this project are time,cost & quality as they are stranding to the main target.

We believe that to achievement of the objectives , as wedesire, will be gratefully dependent on establishing the pathwhich should be fl owed so the traditional methods like thesequential or back to back delivery actually will not lead tothe right way.

From our point of view and based on our experience welook at the “fast tracked“at the most appropriate technique.

To overcome the problems of the fast track projects suchas infl ation of the cost in case of changing in the design wemust have:

- Suffi cient Resources.

- Competent Project manager.

- Competent Team Members.

- Effective Communication.

- Control mechanisms (Planning, schedules).

- Responsiveness to Clients.

Critical success factors that need to be considered:

- Concurrent or overlapped activities.

- Flexible Schedule.

- High Performance and Lean teams.

- Greater risks taken for many activities even if on the criticalpath.

- Flexible project strategy.

Concurrent or Overlapped Activities

In very competitive markets where time-to-market or time-to-implementation is critical it may be necessary to scheduleactivities in parallel rather in sequence. Rather than follow amore logical precedent relationship, where activity B wouldbe completed before activity C is begun, it might be useful tostart both at the same time. For example under more normalcircumstances it might be best to wait for product designto be completed before marketing plans are started, but ina fast-track environment it might be necessary to schedulethem at the same time. In home building, the roof cannotbe started until framing is completed and framing cannotbe started until the foundation is poured. But in a fast-trackapproach the frame and roof can be fabricated off-site whilethe foundation is poured, and then assembled on-site oncethe foundation has cured. Certainly there are disadvantagesto a fast-track approach. It can increase costs and raiserisk. But time to completion may require that some activitiesnormally executed sequentially are executed concurrently.



29

Flexible Schedule

What may be very different for fast-track projects is thatthe start times and completion times for each activity maybe less predictable than in projects that are not grated thisstatus. Since the emphasis is on time, some activities mayhave to be rescheduled at earlier or even later start dates,and there may not be much advance warning when thesechanges are made. This can be quite disruptive to follow-onactivities in the project as well as to other projects that mustshare the same resources. As a result resource sequencingbecomes a challenge.

High-Performance and Lean Teams

Fast-track project teams need to include some of the mostreliable performers in the organization. It goes withoutsaying that these individuals must work well together andthat the team must include individuals who are skilled inresolving confl ict. We are quite sure that our team is

Greater Risks Taken for Many Activities on the Critical Path

In conventional projects risk analysis and planning occursat the beginning of a project. When risks are high thereis an effort to reduce them. But in fast-track projects risksare more organic. Because the pace is fast and becausefast-track projects often push organizational knowledgeand skills, risk management may be very different. Keepinga project on the fast track means that attention is alwayson the critical and near critical paths. The challenge is totake every reasonable effort to shorten these paths. Whileallocating more resources is one strategy, it might benecessary to take greater risks and avoid the temptation toget everything right the fi rst time.

Flexible Project Strategy

Fast track projects must be fl exible. Project managersmust be fl exible, schedules must be fl exible, and topmanagement must be fl exible. Even stakeholders must befl exible. As such, the fast track project follows more of anAgile approach than a Waterfall approach.

6.2. Proposed time frame:

The attached time schedule evokes in a particular way forthe mentioned factors and parameters.

The schedule implements the notion of “overlapping” thiswill allow to invest the time in a proper way.

Time:

The project is a high signifi cant entity and needs a lotof data transfer process, then the coordination is a veryimportant factor and accuracy level is very essentialtoo, within project and the good interface between allparties will be the way achieving. Therefore, the designactivities during the early stage should be organized in asynchronized mode in order to speed up the work progressby running functionally the defi ned tasks in parallel or withinsignifi cant overlapping. The concept is incrementally spiraldevelopment coordinating and checking on thrum, providinginteractive enhancement to the project contents. Withinthis approach, the development of functional program andoutlined sketches early as possible in order to provide the

maximum period for refi ning and quality assurance processto be carried-out. Through the immediate interface withthe client, the desirable level of work detailing and type ofworking details will be defi ned and prioritized, work stageswill formed upon a series of milestone targets, which aimat:

- Balanced levels of overall synchronized activities.

- Stabilization at each stage.

The approach is highly dependent upon focus and agood oriented attention to critical successful factors(CSF’s). It requires knowledge of what these factorsare in, a readiness to shift effort as the identifi cation ofCSF’s evolves and it requires an expert and motivatedteam comprising individuals who are tolerant ofambiguity. An accurate, well-coordinated design package(drawing, spec’s, and BOQ) is suffi cient structural forwork to proceed, but enough fl exible for change to beaccommodated. A good co-ordination with the projectparties will emphasis what the fi nal product is, as well aswhat is not.

Hence, the important strategy is the “continualsynchronization and periodical stabilization“ of the modularapproach to content. Within this strategy, the followingfeatures ought to be fulfi lled:

Organizing the design team in a manner allow realizingthe good interfaces and the coordination between client &consultant.

Mile stone matrix and progressive “freezing” implementedthat prevents further changes unless absolutely necessarily

Major phases have to be acknowledged (task span).

Evoking the services of milestones for the developmentstages.

Testing design content to ensure it is on target.

Frequent test and potential progress audits and statusreport will be instituted in order to ensure focus on thetarget and accountability.

As the parallel technique for design process will beadopted, many constitutional aspects will be realized suchas:

- Establishing a comprehensive vision statement.

- Co-ordination between all parties.

- Co-ordination with construction market.

- Measuring cost effi ciency vs. the required quality.

Cost:

Touristic hotels construction is not a discrete problem; itstotal cost to society & economy is much greater than theconstruction cost of the unit itself. It is the product of aseries of other location decisions involving job distribution,desire lines, transport arteries, and so forth. What weare looking for, in effect, is the optimal trade-off betweenconstruction cost (which varies with density) and theopportunity cost of urban land.

9. Design Loads

9.1. Material Dead Loads

Dead loads are defi ned as the weight of all permanentstructural and non-structural components of the buildingincluding, but not limited to, concrete slabs, hollow coreslabs, beams, columns, walls, fi xed mechanical, electricaland plumbing equipment, electrical supply system, watersupply and discharge System, and any overburden. Thefollowing table is used for defi ning weights of differentmaterials.



34

9.2. Imposed Loads

The Superimposed dead and Live loads for structuraldesign shall be determined based on the architecturaldesign of fl ooring and area usage and based on the givenloads from the electromechanical design considering thecode requirements.

The wind loads will be taken into consideration in the fi nalanalysis and in the design of foundations and the mainstructure. Wind loads shall be obtained from the relevantCode of Practice.

9.4. Seismic Load

The structures will be checked against horizontal loadsto comply with Clause 3.1.4 of BS 8110 (or other relevantcodes). These loads will suffi ce for any seismic activity orminor events. Alternatively, the structure can be checkedagainst seismic loads calculated according to the Uniformbuilding Code 1997 (UBC 1997) and assigned in relevantSeismic Zone.

9.5. Additional Applied Loads

In addition to the loads applied above additional loads willbe identifi ed during the design process that need to beapplied to the structure either on a local or a global scale.They will be determined as the need to consider themarises. Such loads include temperature effects, differentialsettlements of foundations and accidental loading conditionssuch as impact loads. All elements of the structure,supporting or likely to be affected by the dynamic effects ofmachinery would be checked and designed as necessary.

10. Combinations

Load combinations in the adopted codes and specifi cationsshall be used.
