AND SCIENCE
The façade consists of a series of thin concrete overhangs which
form a platform on which to sit a series of folded perforated metal
sails that respond to the changing facade orientations – ensuring
minimum heat gain through an otherwise glass building. The
outcome is a well ventilated and naturally lit building reducing
energy consumption and providing high amenity for both staff and
visitors.
BOTH AND
It is said that urban design’s role is to ensure a great city despite
poor architecture. Our ambition for this project is to provide both
a high amenity building and landscape, and a more than positive
contribution to the city.
