“ a sequence of spaces which arouse one’s curiosity, sense of anticipation,

beckons and impels one to rush forward to find releasing space, which

dominates and is a climax and therefore gives directions.” - Paul Rudolph

ZONECC(2, 4, 8)KIT01-BComfort Zone IIZoning System

Copyright 1999 Carrier Corporation ZONEKIT-3PD

Comfort Zone II is a zoning system capable of providing zone control requirements for 2, 4, or 8 living or business areas. This system allows the home or business owner to control the living environment in an individualized and energy efficient way. The Comfort Zone II kit includes the User Interface, Equipment Controller, Remote Sensors, an Outdoor Temperature Sensor, and Leaving Air Temperature (LAT) Sensor. Comfort Zone II is the control center for Comfort Heat.

FEATURES/BENEFITSThe auto changeover User Interface

has a backlit display. The home or business owner has the option of programming all zones over a 7-day period by following a few simple, well defined steps. The program allows for period, day, and zone functions to be copied, allowing for easier programming.

There are 4 program periods: Wake, Day, Eve, and Sleep. The desired temperature range spans from 40°F to 90°F and there are separate heating and cooling set points. Fully modulating dampers respond to the program as set by the home or business owner and provide enhanced comfort.

Along with a diagnostic error display the User Interface informs the home or business owner when the HVAC system needs to have a filter change. The indoor humidity is also displayed so that comfort can be maximized.

The home or business owner can also control their indoor humidity depending upon the components in their HVAC system. Optional Smart Sensors allow users to adjust temperature settings from the zone. Optional Wireless Sensors allow for easy retrofit installations.

Critical DissectionForum 3 - Novartis Campus

Diener and DienerBasel, Switzerland

032

the campus was conceived of as a reaction vessel in which human beings and ideas encounter each other as often as possible, like molecules that are intended to react with each other.

the goal then was to not think of the individual office space out but rather work from the whole inward in order to foster communication, interaction and teamwork.

the coloured glass facade moves, gleams and shimmers responding to the light throughout different times of day and in different weather conditions, with immensely large panels that dance weightlessly.

although the campus is comprised of many big name firms in charge of the buildings of the Novartis campus there was a great deal of care taken in respecting the historical layout of the site and its building heights. It is a campus of different experiences and innovation that represents the company as a whole, and with the forum 3 building, the facade was a springboard for what became my final design.

being located at the south-west corner of the campus forum 3 is a gateway into Novartis, and with reference to Roman history, the building is the hub of activity and the heart of the company.

Initial Exercise - Four Dancers

068

31 East Aerial View2 South Aerial View3 North Aerial View

069

This initial exercise challenged us to think about what it means to dance, what dance is and dance in relation to movement and the body. With my installation on site my four dancers were uniquely their own yet relied on one another. The entity became a space one circulates through and experiences ‘in the round’. With this ex-ercise I developed my understanding of dance in relation to the patterns of movement and the body and began to think on the experience of what I wanted my performance theatre to be for both the dancer and the viewer. Throughout the project I was challenging the experience and how this is represented formally, and though my iterations varied and sketches saw a range of dif-ferent options, I feel that my final project repre-sents what I was trying to achieve and what was originally found in this model.
