Eco Factor: Sustainable tower embraces renewable energy and energy conservation. OFIS Architecture has proposed a next-gen All Seasons Tent Tower as a part of the Mercedes-Benz hotel tower competition for the city of Yerevan, Armenia. The tower features two terraced cylindrical towers where the higher tower will be used as a restaurant, pool, spa and fitness center and bar. The towers will also house a hotel and apartments along with a business center, shops and garage. Since the region is prone to earthquakes, the deciding factor was a building that can be safe during the next strike. The structure has been designed in a fashion that resists gravity load and the forces resulting from earthquakes. The towers are positioned in a way that creates a dominant view from the city. Photovoltaic cells are integrated into the atrium roof to generate power for the tower. The faade skin covers the terraces of the towers. During summer the metal mesh of the towers is covered by greenery, while during winter it is white and partially covered with snow. The designers have focused on energy conservation by optimizing the environmental conditions. The external facades are incorporated with a high performance skin that reduces solar gain during summer. A concrete slab embedded pipe system has also been included to provide cooling without draft problems and provide heating during the cold winter months. Via: Designboom 2010-03-06 14:07:20
