Futurist Architecture

The lobby of CAM Museum of Art looks dramatic with the glass-enclosed space set located under the folded-panel roof. This roof extends above the entry’s sculpture garden, forming a welcoming front porch. The lobby is located on the east side and designed with modern re-interpretation.

With the size of 35,000 m2, the library can facility more than 2.7 million visitors. It also possesses a BREEAM excellent rating.

The spaces included a neonatal and birthing unit, clinical space for a consolidated outpatients department, emergency department, operating theaters, nuclear imaging [involving ex-rat, MRI, Angio department, CATH, and Ct], forensic mental health units, HDU and ICU, and occupational therapy departments.

Since the collaboration acts as a key driver behind the new learning environment, Chow:Hill, Wintec, and the wider design team considered it as a crucial component of the design process and will determine a successful outcome for a total learning environment.

BAEB intended to realize the aim of working with a volumetry that respects the existing context. Therefore, the new intervention needed to be displayed just like the surrounding buildings. In light of the functionality, the team proposed bright and fluid spaces regardless of the challenge emerged due to the limited site surface.

Focusing on the ‘Mass Production’ area, the interior architects installed stacked, brightly lit white boxes, emerging the feeling as if the visitors were enclosed by ceramics.

The rare design in the building is located on a top of 600 m underground concrete labyrinth. The air can run is taken from the outside. It will be warmed or cooled by the concrete inside the building. The air will be constant relatively 12 degrees Celcius in summer and winner.
