Design Criteria MatrixDesign aspects Criteria Sub-criteria

Architectural quality

Identity

Inviting buildingExpression of transformabilityEducation for childrenAppearance of spatial adaptationGreen

Scale & proportionsBalanceIntegrity & coherenceOccupation

Multi-functionality

Spatial transformation capacity Suitabilty for internal flexibilityAdoptability to different functionsSafety

Technical transformation capacity

Installation capacityStructural capacityPossibility to install equipmentSafety

Transformability

Spatial transformation

Easy transformation from one use concept to anotherPossibility to combine or separate multiple functionsExtending/shrinking of spaceTransformation of open area into closed area and opposite

Time bound transformationAdaptability to the weather & day/night configuration Adaptability to different inner climate concepts

System transformation

Reliability of the integration of and connection between components Second-use scenario for each componentDecoupling and reassembly of parts/units of the building with different functions Flexible integration of systems (building HVAC)Reconfigurable building systems

Energy, water & materials

Energy performance of the building Energy positiveRenewable energy Stimulus for low energy user behavior

Material transformationLow environmental impact of used materialsSecond-use scenario for each materialReusability of disassembled components and materials

Cradle to CradleLocal materials C2C certified materials.

Reuse of different water streamsSeparate water streams on building levelReuse water

Comfort & Health

Thermal comfort (summer)Summer indoor air temperatureSummer indoor airflow

Thermal comfort (winter)Winter indoor air temperatureWinter indoor airflow

Indoor air qualityIndoor air freshness/ventilation per personIndoor air freshness/ventilationIndoor moisture content

AcousticsBuilding systems noiseInteraction noiseAcoustics

Visual comfortIluminanceView

Constructability and handling of componentsEase of (dis)assembly

High level of industrialization and prefabrication for fast assembly/disassembly Easy to assemble, disassemble and reassemble Easy reconfiguration of the prefabricated components for reuse

TransportThe weight of most of the components allows them to be carried by 2 people.Transportability of the components/systems

Cultural and local site context

Primary usersAdaption to childrens perceptionAdaption to childrens behaviourAdaption to childrens size

Secondary usersAdaption to secondairy users (students and staff) perceptionAdaption to secondairy users (students and staff) behaviourAdaption to secondairy users (students and staff) size
