When brainstorming ideas, sustainable design is the key factor during design stage: how to minimize power consumption, maximize nature light and wind, reduce heat absorb to the building etc. The design team tried to create a unique design which fullfill all requirements of a green building.
Shape: hexagon shape was formed to maximize the light go to almost everying single functional rooms inside. It is also an impressive and unique shape among square- box high rise universities and dormintories around. One basement, 5 floors above, with total GFA 30,000 m2. Site coverage is only 20%
Roof: Green roof to reduce sun radiation and heat go to the building. Rainwater could be collected to water the green roof.
Big open void as an interactive space connects from ground floor to the roof. The purpose of this void to release the hot air to outside. Sunlight can come through this void to other parts of building to the ground floor.
Façade: vertical concrete bar system as another layer to protect the building from sunlight in the west directon.
Ground floor is open, let the wind from open space in the park get through to the building, cool down the building.
Despite, this building doesn’t have any qualitifcation of green design organization, but design team tried to apply as many as possible green design criteria during design stage.
