OCULUS

Below : A proposed section layout illustrating the water canal, courtyard and the green terraces. A smart technology with an integrated network system of water filtration is the innovation here. Grey water is filtered through the columns and reused for irrigation purposes. Also, the integration of canal system from the river Barada helps mitigate water shortage problems.

Design For Discovery

Kerto LVL slabs which is an excellent material for load- bearing applications is placed on the massive lvl slabs to form a vertical courtyard system. The column performs as self - efficient system which includes water pipes for rain harvesting, water filtration and grey water recycling. The overall structure is of great ecological value as one of the main property of Kerto Lvl SLabs is reducing the carbon dioxide emissions. This unique system along with the green terraces becomes the lungs for the post-war damaged building.
