Eco Factor: Ephemeral Roof Exchange features use of advanced sustainable technologies for renewable energy generation
Architects Steven Ma, Wendy Fok and Dominik Strzelec bring together a fusion of technological, economical and cultural entities and public spaces into one place to give birth to the “Ephemeral Roof Exchange”. The ingenious design represents the trilateral relationship between the borders of Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai.
This innovative design was announced the winner at Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF) International Design Ideas Competition. Features a three point access system, each entry of the points specifically pertain to advanced sustainable technologies like solar, hydro and piezoelectrical energy concepts. It is interesting to note that each of these energy collection points portray the location and orientation of the site.
The Solar Photovoltaic Louvres with a South Orientation is designed for the Hong Kong; a Hydro Collective System designed with humidity and rain water collectors recycles hydro-energy can been seen within HK/Macao/Zhuhai Terminal, while the piezoelectrical system, a system that recycles and reuses cast off sound and vibrational energy collected from the passing vehicles is embedded into the asphalt and landscaping throughout the site.
