One case study of a contemporary architectural building that applies and understands the importance of sustainability in their design and process is the Vitsoe Factory. Located in Leamington Spa, England. Vitsoe factory was designed and constructed in 2017 with the most advanced modern technology and technique to achieve a sustainable outcome. Vitsoe’s awareness of sustainability and humility values are applied in every stage of the design process, construction and future implications of the building’s use and created in design that beautifully crafted and sensitive towards environmental context.
In the case of how sustainable Vitsoe is, a deep analysis of
their company’s production and building construction can be seen on Appendix 1 which was examined against the newest released framework by the World Green Building Council as a guideline to sustainable building designs.
Vitsoe, without doubt, covers sustainability aspect towards
their design and building’s performance. On the other hand, Vitsoe’s approach to humility was not reached in a straightforward manner but still covers humility’s aspect in their design. The first part of humility where Vitsoe Factory achieves is even with the high economic demand of architecture and design, Vitsoe still succeeds to produce a humble building. Modern buildings commonly focuses on profits ask it was following the demands of its stakeholders and resulting in putting aside humility and sustainability on their design.
