Eco Factor: Sustainable structure harvests renewable solar, wind and hydro energy.
Zero Plus Architects have designed the Backcountry Access Prototype (BAP) as a structure that serves as a building and a recreational outdoor area. The self-sustaining modular structure sits atop centipede-like legs, which also support its articulating sections that allow for a great range of site variability.
The structure includes a polyester-stuffed pneumatic truss that spans a composite deck. Moreover, a set of operable screens, covers and polycarbonate shells adjust according to seasonal variations. The structure includes photovoltaic panels to generate on-site renewable energy. Additional electricity is generated by a set of water and wind turbines.
