Covered swimming pool complex

1
Covered swimming pool complex Objectives To
explore the beneficial integration of the
building technology and architectural design. To
understand buildings assemblies of components and
materials. To be able to tackle issues of
efficiency in structures, construction and
energy. To apply the full range CAAD skills in
conceptualizing and presenting design
ideas. Uncovered heated swimming pools,
especially those in exposed locations, have been
the subject of several complaints from users.
They can become very hot during summer and very
windy and cold during the winter. The structure
shall provide a covered environment for swimming
pools, sun decks, showers, dressing rooms as well
as areas where people can rest and eat snacks.
The building must be assembled from prefabricated
components brought to the site. You are to
design a one-way or two-way structural system
which is to comprise of an assembly of
standardized components. Construction methods,
especially relating to cladding, roofing and
flooring and their connection to the structural
system, must be studies in detail. In choosing
materials you must also consider the issues of
climate control and maintenance especially when
selecting types of cladding, glass, coatings,
frame materials, etc. Problems with corrosion
water leakage, drainage, maintenance and cleaning
must be anticipated and prevented. You must
aware of various factors such as lighting,
shading, ventilation, orientation, mechanical
systems and choice of materials on energy costs
and comfort levels. The area must be providing a
fun, comfortable and pleasant environment for
people to swim, rest and eat. Your overall
architectural solution should emerge from a
successful integration of the various aspects of
space, form, construction, structure and
services.
