| dc.description.abstract | b) The design of the faculty of Mineral Resources has been
centred on the following parameters:
01. Relationship of faculty to other parts of University.
02. The social relationship between students and staff.
03. The economic-political parameter.
04. A certain amount of flexibility within the building.
From the above parameters - my design objectives have been
01. To try to mix the students and staff freely such that the
staff are not isolated from the students.
02. To build a faculty with not more than 4 levels so that
economically we can save foreign exchange to buy lifts. Also
politically a directive was issued by the President that
buildings in the new capital should as much as possible not
go more than 4 levels.
03. To make sure that some parts of the building are flexible.
CONTENTS
The building contains generally:
01. Teaching facilities such as laboratories, classrooms,
seminar room.s.
02. Offices for staff.
03. Stores, workshops and toilets.
(c) EVALUATION
The final design solution has accomplished the following:
01. It has the original thoroughfare solution where people
can pass through.
02. Students and staff have various open spaces and recreation
facilities which allow them to mix freely, and are not
totally secluded from. one another.
03. Economically the building is justifiable in that it does
not go beyond 3 levels, and thus there will not be any
need to use foreign exchange to buy lifts. 04. There is a certain amount of flexibility within the building,- achieved by having convertible laboratories.
05. The separation of the various parts of the building by
use of doors and windows makes the building a good
looking aerthetically. Also the facades in the building
are very nice - especially the north - south ones | en_US |
