ntroducing innovative strategies to combat the high need for energy conservation was key to the Marine Research Center’s design. With its close geophracial proximity to sensitive land and marine agriculture our thought process was to retain as much of the existing vegetation as possible. We were able to establish this by proposing an elevated ground plane which resulted in a 50% less ground oor footprint for a 60,000 sq. ft. structure. Native plants and coral reefs are then able to continue to grow in a healthy vegetative state.
Furthermore our design synthesizes a hybrid typology between compact self suďŹ cient structures while interplaying a seperated campus like environment, through the use of a network of faceted surfaces and an autonomous elevated circulation path. As a result, all programs inner functions work cohesivey to promote more continuity throughout the entirety of our structure. Lastly, each module is a formal response to long spanning techniques, environmental conditions, and the promotion of seamless transitions from the existing ground to a newly elevated plane.
