As a component of the proposal for a guest festival for a high-rise long-term workplace in Singapore, the series’ architects proposed a “table tower”, an architectural reaction to existing climate challenges. Responding to its tropical context, the assignment reinvents the tower as a series of stacked pavilions, integrating communities of 4 to 6 story workspaces with surrounding terraces and facilitating the collaborative nature of cool work in the workplace. The tower is complemented by a flexible podium that includes a central courtyard with 4 circular pavilions. can be used for meetings or as discussion spaces.

series architects claims that the proposal reduces carbon emissions by addressing construction, energy intake and energy production. “Together, the 3 methods reduce carbon emissions based on the square meter by more than 60%,” explains the design team. “With Mass Engineering Wood (MET), built-in total carbon emissions can be reduced by 50%. Innovation in convenience and energy design can reduce the demand for electric power by 30%, while photovoltaic energy on site can produce about 20% of the building’s electrical energy. call of power. »
The shape of the tower table is explained through its state-of-the-art structural concept. “The core of the tower and the structural frame of the pavilion are made of metal, while the intermediate grounds are built with a metal and wood hybrid,” the architects continued. “By replacing 4 intermediate floors with Met floor plates, the total carbon incorporated according to the table is about 0 kg consistent with the square meters of workplace space, resulting in an unbiased carbon skyscraper according to.”
The facade design maximizes daylight, while minimizing glare and heat gain from the sun. Meanwhile, low-power “adaptive cooling” replaces traditional air conditioning. the result is a relief of more than 50% in the intake of electrical energy to a typical construction of the same size. In addition to minimizing energy consumption, the proposal maximizes energy production with approximately 20% of the total demand for locally collected electricity. Photovoltaic cells are placed on all roof surfaces and incorporated into the sma that protects the glazing of the construction.
“By focusing on creating casual and vivid paint spaces, the task adapts to new and emerging paint models,” explain the architects of the series. “The generous and flexible amenities achieved through an effective service design mean that the assignment also anticipates still unknown painting tactics. His considered reaction to the climate is inherent in architecture. It is not an appendix or a mirrored image after the fact, the flows of matter and power are placed in the foreground, the result is a new “image” of the fresh tower of the tropics. »
