5 key facts about this project
### Overview
Located in a vibrant urban context, "Dressed Futurism" investigates contemporary architectural design methodologies, emphasizing functionality, environmental stewardship, and engagement with the surrounding community. The project aims to create a dialogue between the built environment and nature, promoting transparency and fluidity in design while addressing the complexities of modern urban life.
### Spatial Strategy
The arrangement of spaces within the building centers around a large atrium that acts as a communal hub, featuring high ceilings and expansive areas that facilitate social interactions. This central feature is supported by multipurpose areas designed for flexible use, including auditoriums and art galleries that cater to a diverse range of activities and audiences. The design also includes balconies and terraces that effectively integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, encouraging users to connect with the natural environment and explore exterior areas.
### Materiality and Sustainability
The project employs a diverse selection of materials, each chosen for its role in both aesthetics and functionality. Extensive glass facades enhance natural light and visibility, while steel provides structural integrity for expansive designs. Wood adds warmth to interior environments, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and concrete offers durability across various structural components. Sustainability is prioritized through the use of biodegradable and recycled materials, with design strategies that promote energy efficiency, including passive ventilation and natural lighting to reduce environmental impact. The integration of artistic elements from local artists further enriches the project, infusing community identity into its fabric.
