Morton Submitted to the Department of Architecture in partial fulfillments of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 11, 1990 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the potential application of the L-shaped courtyard house in an American context. Privacy for the dwelling and its grounds is a key issue to be addressed. It is shown than a traditional single-family detached house will provide sufficient privacy on lots of one-quarter acre or more. However, an alternate solution must be developed in higher-density applications of one-eighth acre or less. The principal design elements desired in a traditional home are identified and incorporated into an alternate design solution. The courtyard house is proposed as an alternate and it is shown that, contrary to popular belief, such a house form can function in temperate climates without excessive heat loss. The reason for prizing an L-shaped courtyard house over other variations in a high-density application is explained in light of privacy and solar access issues. A detailed discussion of design elements in an L-shaped application include: inter-unit privacy issues, the courtyard size and passive solar heating applications, the dwelling layout and interior zoning, entry location, circulation, facade treatment, parking, grouping or clustering, and expansion potential. It is demonstrated that the L-shaped design will satisfy American standards within a high-density urban context of eight to twelve units per acre.

When contractors have asked atic for the average American household. architects for solutions to this problem of smaller lot size, the response generally has been single-story zero lot-line housing. An example of this is Barry Berkus' zero lot-line design for the NEST '90 prototype house of the National Association of Home Builders Convention (See figure 1). This house can be sited on eighth acre lots and provide reasonable degrees of privacy both inside and outside. It does not present a "conven- tional" street facade because of its placement of the garage at the front and placement of major social spaces toward the rear. PROBLEM The conventional two-story detached house no longer is an "appropriate" solution, i.e. privacy for unit and land cannot be maintained at densities of less than a quarter acre. Achieving higher density single-family housing without loss of privacy for the individual unit and yard is the major challenge to be addressed in this study.

  • Courtyard As Passive Design Solution for School Buildings in Hot Area

The sustainable design in architecture adopts passive design strategies like courtyards that produce buildings which use the wind for cooling and the sun for lighting and heating. The courtyard was a climate responsive design in the past, that provided people with easy direct solutions for their problems with the climate, and it was able to satisfy their social needs. In this study there will be an investigating for the effect of closed courtyard with different proportions on school building in UAE, to test the capability of the closed courtyard in improving the thermal performance of the school building consequently minimize the energy consumption. The study adopted a school building as a case study because courtyards are used mostly in houses while it can be beneficial for public buildings like schools. Courtyard can provide the school with private outdoor space, and can improve the thermal and ventilation properties of the school building thus minimize the energy consumption. Moreover the courtyard can provide the school with safe inner playground and learning scientific atmosphere for the students.

  • Architectural Aspects of Atrium
    International Journal on Engineering Performance-Based Fire Codes, Volume 5, Number 4, p.131-137, 2003 ARCHITECTURAL ASPECTS OF ATRIUM W.Y. Hung Department of Building Services Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China ABSTRACT Buildings with atrium can be found everywhere in big cities among which Hong Kong is one of the examples. The evolution of this building type should be traced back to explore the reason why it has been a popular design throughout these years. It was found originated about two hundred years ago, with changes in terms of configurations and functions occurred. After centuries of development, benefits and detriments of atrium could be clearly identified in architectural, environmental and economic aspects respectively, which are discussed in this paper. To get around the demerits brought about by the atrium design in new projects, some design considerations are proposed to be taken into account. Some of the famous local atrium buildings are reviewed to give a clearer picture on the application and design of the building feature. Other than the problems of those aspects mentioned above, fire safety problem is more serious comparatively since human life is involved. The potential fire hazards are discussed. According to local fire codes, atrium buildings are usually installed with sprinkler systems which are used to protect in a wide range of building types. However, with the unique characteristics of large internal open space and high headroom, sprinkler systems can give certain adverse effects where further considerations are essential to ensure fire safety and safeguard occupants’ lives. Keywords: atrium, energy conservation, fire safety, daylight, thermal comfort 1.
