Courtesy Stanislaw MlynskiPolish architecture student, Stanislaw Mlynski, recently participated in the 2010 Student Wall Competition hosted by the National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) School of Architecture. Mr. Mlynski placed third in the international competition for his ecological wall comprised of structural organic waste containers. Further images of the entry in addition to a description from the architect can be seen after the break. 
Courtesy Stanislaw MlynskiThe subject of my interest was every -existing or built in the future- useless, dirty, not-adapted city wall. As in nature every organism consist of huge amount of repetitious cells, which ensure reliability, I decided also to make up a universal modular system, which will allow to transform industrial building, grey skyscrapers, office blocks or even typical fences in green ecosystems. Such system would also provide with possibility to create buildings. On every step of the project I was seeking inspirations in nature, because to my mind it is the master of OPTIMIZATION and usage of resources from surrounding (to which it is trying to adjust).
Courtesy Stanislaw MlynskiOrganic waste are nearly 40% of our dust bins and composting is one of the easiest and cheapest ways of recycling. I propose system of gathering waste such us grass cuttings, tea bags, ripped cardboard, paper, fruit cuttings and much more, based on delivering new and collecting full containers – cells, which after changing sewage to soil are going to be ecological structure.
BenefitsShape of every cell is the result of combining 2 functions: container for waste and the construction element of the building. Such wall can be a ground for plants which will reduce the amount of CO2 as well as have positive influence on micro climate. Thanks the tectonic of walls we can collect water and what is more birds would find the shelter there. Solar system is the combination of users’(sun light) needs and system of getting solar energy.I had an idea to let everyone get involved in very simple but relevant way in creating our eco-cities.#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}#gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}

Courtesy Architektur StudioEgyptian architects, Architektur Studio have submitted to ArchDaily their recent submission for the Beton Hala Waterfront project in central Belgrade, Serbia. Additional images of the proposal as well as a description of the work from the architects can be found after the break. 
Courtesy Architektur StudioThrough an architectural design that allows more FLEXIBILITY in uses, the building is designed in a way that depends on a modules system which can be easily fixed, maintained and reused in deferent functions without any effects on the extension layer.The center has an easy circulation that depends on vertical and horizontal axes between the levels in order to reach the main extension connecting layer to the historical core, Also raising the built area from the ground level created a main direct axe – visual axe & movement axe – between the Sava river, the plateau and the public area. Depending on THREE MAIN CORES as the main vertical axes that connect the ground level with the main layer level.
Courtesy Architektur StudioThe Public Area itself is a place where many different functions and activities meets and connects with the main axes of the projects, its considered as the joining element between the lowest and the highest point of the Water Front Center.The extension connecting layer is finished in CONCRETE LAMELLAS which service as a stair cases which allows the pedestrians’ to walk on to reach the Historical Core, With Piezoelectric devices fixed in these layers ,pedestrian movement can GENERATE the needed Electricity
Courtesy Architektur StudioBETON HALA Connect MORE Green and GenerateGenerating electricity through the car movement – Smart Roads – The Smart roadway – A road way that contains Piezoelectric Sensors beneath the asphalt layer – with 350 meter long can Generate over 420 KW per day and 302400 KW per Year.Generating Electricity Through Pedestrian Movement… From the fact that…One person with an average weight of 125 pounds will generate 0.1 watt in 2 second it takes to cross the piezoelectric tile. Only 1.7 mw is the needed electricity for 1000 home and a big city like New York city need 45 MW per year. A number of 50000 visitors per year will be able to Generate 3.8 MW. Through Expectations of increasing the visitors of the center until the year 2020 the Generated Electricity is expected to increase as well.

Agung Sedayu Center / KuiperCompagnons | ArchDoc

Courtesy KuiperCompagnonsRotterdam based KuiperCompagnons has recently won first prize in the design competition for the sustainable office building Agung Sedayu Center in Jakarta. Further images of their winning design as well as a description from the architects can be seen after the break. 
Courtesy KuiperCompagnonsIn January this year the Agung Sedayu Group together with Indonesian Architecture Institute (IAI), one of the largest property developers in retail, commercial facilities and housing in Indonesia, launched a prestigious design competition for a new office building in Jakarta. The design had to result in a sustainable, contemporary building inspired by Indonesian tradition culture.
Courtesy KuiperCompagnonsThe program of the office is much bigger than the location. An idea is born from the chine’s shape: ‘yin and yang’ which the floors of the buildings twist and rotate outwards step-by-step to a central core with elevator shafts and main staircases. Both towers are connected by an open common space with commercial facilities on de ground floor, 6 parking floors which 3 of it are underground, and also integrated garden on the 4th floor. The 90.000 m2 building is completely earthquake- and tsunami proof.
Courtesy KuiperCompagnonsOne of the most important sustainable principles is the maximal use of natural ventilation in order to reduce the use of mechanical cooling. The whole form and detail of the building is aimed to avoid direct sunlight to the facade, and to take advantage of the prevailing wind direction. The facade of the building is dictated by the wind and the sun. By using of sun diagrams, the type of louvered door could be determined for the whole year (which one from the 7 types and for which part of the building). Rainwater is collected and reused, solar panels are placed on the horizontal roof, and the therefore appropriated terrace floors. A geothermal heat pump is applied. ‘District Cooling’ is used to improve the benefit of the cool system.
Courtesy KuiperCompagnonsKuiperCompagnons was inspired in shape and facade of the building by traditional Indonesian ‘rattan basket’, which has a double meaning: on the one hand the basket symbolizes a place to come together, but on the other side it symbolizes also the Indonesian handicrafts. The material of the facade is made from local wood, which is applied in the louvers. The Diagonal grid of the supporting structure remind this to the characteristic of the braided rattan structure. Combined with a strategic position direct under the flight path of Soekarno Hatta International Airport Jakarta is Agung Sedayu Center an icon of Indonesian architecture and a landmark of the city.
Physical ModelThe jury, consisting of 4 members of the Indonesian Architecture Institute and four executives of the Agung, Sedayu Group has recently presented the jury report. From all of the 190 participants, the first prize is awarded to 3 design agencies: KuiperCompagnons, Sardjono Sani from Singapore and Franky Du Ville from Jakarta. In the coming weeks will decide which design will be realized.#gallery-1 {margin: auto;}#gallery-1 .gallery-item {float: left;margin-top: 10px;text-align: center;width: 33%;}#gallery-1 img {border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;}#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {margin-left: 0;}
