연속적인 실린더 모듈로 구성된 외피 구조 시스템은
친환경 기술의 적용으로 효용적인 빌딩 운영시스템을
구축하는 동시에 아이텐티한 빌딩 파사드 디자인을 완성한다.
이러한 시스템 구축에는 실린더 유닛에 적용된 증발냉각 시스템이
별도의 에너지원을 사용하지 않고 친자연적인 냉각열을 이용함으로써
가능해진다. 여기에 실린더 유닛 간의 공극은 자연환기를 형성함으로써
냉각시스템의 효과를 배가시킨다.
지속가능한 건축 및 디자인은 이산화탄소를 배출하는
화석에너지를 이용한 설비적인 측면보다
자생적으로 이루어지는 친자연적인
패시브 디자인이 선행되어야 한다.

sean godsell architects have created a consolidated 'design hub' on the RMIT campus aimed at fostering interdisciplinary interaction and encouraging hybridity in research. while the RMIT campus is a leading institution that specializes in design investigation, the architecture was such that post graduates were strewn across various campuses and facilities. the new hub is planned around the open-plan premise of warehouses and fitted with optimal spaces for group work and collaborations. the program is structured like a residency wherein teams may stay anywhere from six months to three years; a function balanced in the progression of highly productive spaces and designed places of incidence. while the program requires a high level of adaptability, the building's paths of circulation, exhibition space and design archive allow opportunities for the exchange of ideas between researchers, the public and industry.
the skin of the structure seamlessly integrates sustainable
technology into the facade with evaporative cooling and fresh air
intakes that improve the internal air quality and reduce operations
costs. tectonically, the hub is an envelope of energy efficient design
strategies, sporting a novel exterior comprised of operable cylindrical
shading devices and a double glazed inner skin. the high functioning
envelope is a fabric of shading devices of sandblasted glass discs
surrounds the entire building, a galvanized steel ring of slightly
greater diameter defines each glass roundel. a composition of 21 glass
and steel modules is arranged into a panel and affixed to the
architecture's outer planes. the accretion of these layered shading
device is a high-performing cladding that additionally responds to the
rich collaborations housed within.
