The initial phase centers on contextual research and seamless integration into the surroundings. In-depth exploration of the location and understanding the community's challenges underscored the project's mission to elevate the standard of healthy living.
The second phase focuses on crafting a form tailored to the location's needs. Meticulous research ensures harmony with the environment, preserving its original aesthetics and distinctive elements. This form is not only visually appealing but also functionally efficient, optimizing space utilization and becoming an integral part of the community with its dimensions 36.1x18.6m.
The third phase delves into sustainable materials research, emphasizing materials that offer tangible benefits and promote energy efficiency. Careful selection and thoughtful use of concrete, glass and aluminium, highlight the significance of thoughtful materials in daily life and the long-term impact on the environment.
The fourth phase involves designing the facade and green roof to enhance sustainability, naturalness, and natural flows. Exploring relationships between sunlight and illumination led to the conclusion that SK12 requires a facade embodying the micro-climate enveloping the entire structure. A complete green roof was deemed essential, incorporating nature-inspired motifs, natural sustainability matrices, and visual aesthetics derived from previous findings.
The exquisite design observed in nature, have served as a profound inspiration. Utilizing biomimicry methods, our building facade incorporates nature's rules, algorithms, and principles. The rise in oxygen levels inside the facade and the building stems from temperature disparities between external and internal environments, inducing airflow. Just as leaves create a pleasant microclimate by casting shadows, generating temperature variations, and producing oxygen, these panels replicate these effects. This innovative building envelope enhances environmental conditions and comfort while conserving electrical energy, contributing to nature preservation.
The algorithms employed in this domain reduce annual electricity consumption by up to 30%, lowering summer temperatures by approximately 5-6 degrees Celsius and elevating winter temperatures by 7-8 degrees Celsius within the building.
Central to our project is waste reduction through recycling. By repurposing metal sheet perforation waste into secondary raw materials, we minimize environmental impact. Recycling fosters natural ecosystem preservation.
