Eco Factor: Sustainable greenhouses to preserve the ecosystem.
Samoo Architecture has unveiled plans for the Ecorium Project to be developed in South Korea as a part of the upcoming National Ecological Institute (NEI). The eco domes, which are actually wedge-shaped greenhouses, will provide optimum conditions for a large ecosystem across the 33,090 sq m floor area.
The unique design of the domes tracks the sun and adapts the internal environment appropriately to create a global eco-environment. The exterior is crafted from metal panels, low-iron low-e double glazing, wood and Plexiglas.
The NEI will study the converging eco-systems of nature, human and climate to ensure a harmonious relationship between them, while preserving the delicate ecosystem.
