Design Concept The development aims to utilise the strength of a monocoque structural approach to generate both economic manufacturing and constructional solutions whilst also generating greater three dimensional spatial opportunities.Courtyard units which maximise use of internal and external spaces are an effective solution to high density urban living.The design of the dwellings maximises daylight and natural ventilation. This helps to lower electricity loads,and reduces the need for heating and cooling, which is further enhanced through good insulation,efficiency of the building form and thermal mass.设计理念这个方案旨在利用壳体结构的强度来解决经济化生产和施工问题,同时也可提供更大的三维空间。庭院设计可以最大化利用内部和外部空间,为高密度城市生活提供有效的解决方法。住房的设计尽量满足采光和自然通风的要求,这有助于降低电力负荷,并减少加热和冷却的需要,而且通过良好的绝热设计,有效的建筑形式和热质量效应,可以进一步提高节能的效果,见图1。
