high-tech transparent skin

Refined structural members according to strength allow varying transparency of the facade, machineries are then showcased.

Double-skin facade is applied due to environmental concern. Tensile fabric serve the functional use of blocking high-angle sun shade while allowing visual connection in multiple perspectives.

Machine Workflow

Learning about how the facilities work are essential: the mechanism, water levels, machine dimensions, substance supply through pipes, etc.

Robust Module Structure

The unique structural solution was to counter the limited footprint. Hence, it all start with a pair of diagonal corner cores.

WHAT IF: Grinch

The Chirstmas Tree houses all the instruments from Spring to Autumn, standing tall and proud on the flowing river water. There are also underwater tracks hiding beneath.
