emerge architects accomplish sustainability in a number of ways. firstly they were able to integrate a structure system consisting of src and beamless panel which ultimately reduced the carbon footprints and ecological impact. emerge architects

 

 

however the academia sinica eco-pavilion also respects the trees and foliage surrounding the building with an organic layout in an attempt to minimize the impact on the area. the addition of atriums, bridges and the peripheral woods extend the image of a foliage and nature. emerge architects

 

 

the ground floor has a variety of functions: receptions, presentations and seminars, etc with a pavilion that joins the ecological pond, paddy field and forest. the upper floor acting as ecological exhibition hall.emerge architects

 

overall, the design and coordination of space, landscape and exhibition purposes are based on the idea of having a seamless link between outside and inside of the building, with the wrap around glass providing constant exposure to nature.emerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsemerge architectsin taipei, emerge architects deliver a multi-functional exhibition space surrounded by naturein taipei, emerge architects deliver a multi-functional exhibition space surrounded by natureemerge architects
