The spaces and landscape surrounding the buildings are intended to be fully accessible
by the visitors, providing scope for the introduction of additional educational, public
and cultural events; a Possible amphitheatre connecting to the central park, provision
for temporary pavilions, etc. The design proposes extended integration through the
entire site through ‘diffusion’ phasing boundaries by means of outspreading and
interconnecting the network of paths and landforms. A direct sunlight and help create
comfort for all visitors and maximize the usage of the external areas.
WATER CONSERVATION
The river of knowledge is a key feature of our design, therefore the right water
conservation strategy should ensure that no excessive water is used. Waste water from
the various buildings is collected and treated to supply the water for the irrigation
systems and water features.
The level of the river will rise and fall according to the seaons, mush like it would in
nature. When it is hot and there is direct sun on the river, the water level and surface
area will be reduced, thus reducing evaporation rates and water consumption. At night
and during the cooler parts of the year, when visitors are more likely to wander the
ground, the water level will rise.
STRUCTURE FACADE
We propose a concrete structure using flat slab on a maximum.
9 inter grid, Up to this span flat slabs are the most economical solution and allows
easy coordination with building services. Also, concrete appears as a promising
material as it provides thermal mass to deal efficiently with the cooling demand in this
climate.
Sophisticated structure such as cantilevers and overhangs as shown on some buildings
can be designed as steel, Steel is a lightweight efficient solution that can achieve large
spans. This can be utilized through steel space frame roof systems allowing.
