Great architectural designs focus on using nature to enhance their structures, as the UNStudio Office Tower does. Located on the South Axis in Amsterdam, it brings in a flood of light, making it an eco-building that will last for years to come.
By employing various energy-efficient techniques, bands of white aluminum are wrapped around the UNStudio Office Tower, which also have the advantage of providing solar blockers and reflectors. Colored voids within also fill with light while providing a clear identity for the space.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Eco-architecture
- The use of nature to enhance architecture, whilst creating an eco-building that could result in reduced energy bills and carbon footprint.
- Energy-efficient Design
- The use of energy-efficient techniques, materials or technology to reduce energy consumption whilst still creating highly functional and aesthetic architecture.
- Aluminum Wrapping
- The use of bands of white aluminum wrapping creates an opportunity to use a versatile and sustainable material for construction and decoration purposes.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Architecture
- Architecture companies can explore ways to use eco-friendly materials to create beautiful designs that are highly functional and energy-efficient.
- Construction
- Construction companies can leverage the innovation in architecture to create more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
- Sustainability
- Sustainability industry can innovate and provide solutions to enhance the use of renewable and sustainable materials in building and architecture designs.
