Architecture + Environment The project is developed to meet the clients’ requests to construct a model factory complex within the Tangshan industrial zone. An important focus of the master plan is to create an eco-village for this bone china manufacturer Asianera. The scheme consists of programmatic strips pierced by courtyards and circulatory routes featuring horizontally and vertically located ‘green lungs’ that improve the environment and help alleviate pollution. The courtyards and pools collect rainwater for further use in production and landscape maintenance. The layers of the outer skin of the building are structured to provide vertical green growth that creates a filtration system for temperature and air quality control. This ‘green wall’ system mediates the extremes of climate and becomes a living skin. The north facade will be used to vent cool air during summer and the south facade to induce warm air during winter. This Campus Manufacturing Village draws inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture and aims to be environmentally responsible and responsive wherever possible. This will be conducive to a creative living/working environment for the Asianera staff and will set a precedent for ethical manufacturing to the rest of the factory communities in Tangshan. |
