Eco Factor: Eco-friendly skyscraper uses folded curtain wall to provide shade from the sun.
Catering to the present need of comfortable, flexible, functional and energy-efficient working spaces, Bjarke Ingels Group has proposed an award-winning design for the Shenzhen Energy Mansion. Until now, we have commonly seen electric lighting and air conditioning as modern solution to lighting and cooling without thinking of their environmental consequences.
But, as we are progressing towards a greener future, our architectural designs are also going green. So, the new design for SEM very intelligently utilizes green techniques to create a better working environment. The winning entry for the Shenzhen International Energy Mansion Located proposes a modern skyscraper that combines maximum daylight exposure with minimal sunshine exposure to serve the needs of lighting and cooling.
Located in Shenzhen, China the high-rise building features a folded curtain wall that provides shade from the sun and creates a comfortable interior climate. SEM flaunting its classic shape with an organic pattern will serve as a model for today’s skyscraper and energy headquarters.
