Conscious Building Design: Analysis and Process Modeling Report

This report provides an in-depth analysis of conscious building design within the context of System Science and Engineering 2. It begins with an introduction to the concept of conscious buildings, emphasizing their role in urban development and resource management, particularly in the context of high-rise construction. The report defines conscious buildings, using the Q1 tower in Australia as a case study, and explores the conceptual design theory behind these structures, detailing the importance of early-stage decisions and the various steps involved in the design process, including identifying requirements, ranking needs, and establishing final designs. Process modeling techniques are discussed, focusing on how they can be used to evaluate and improve the design process. The analysis section examines factors such as cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and the impact of building shape on design, structure, and facades. The report concludes by highlighting the importance of conscious building design in addressing urban challenges and promoting sustainable practices.
