description

This project embarks on a transformative journey to redefine sustainability within the
architectural realm, aligning with global initiatives such as the G20 and UN 2030 Goals.
Focusing on an Aerospace Research and Development Center, the project probes the
critical question: how can architects integrate sustainable practices into real-world
designs to mitigate environmental impacts?
Recognizing the construction industry’s contribution to 30-40% of global waste, this
project aims to create a carbon-neutral building, reducing pollution from design to
demolition. By positioning architecture as a catalyst for change, it sets a precedent for
minimizing the environmental footprint of the built environment.
The design incorporates both active and passive strategies, including optimal plan
depth ratios, relative compactness, and precise building orientation. A rigorous,
data-driven approach, supported by simulations such as CFD, energy, and shadow
analysis, ensures that every decision is informed by research from leading global
institutions.
Key technologies-Energy Simulation, Circular Economy principles, and Digital Twin
Technology-underscore the project’s innovative approach. This initiative exemplifies the
architect’s role in crafting spaces that not only adapt to but also positively influence their
climate and context, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
