IX Международная студенческая научная конференция Студенческий научный форум - 2017

In my paper I would like to tell you about “green” modern architecture, which is safe for the environment. I hope that my report will be interesting and useful for future architects.

In my point of view, the subject of my scientific article is of current interest for the modern world. Under the conditions of the development of society and technology, the construction industry keeps up with the time and meets the high requirements of modern man. However, harmful impact of construction industry on the environment is also growing, that’s why it is very important to look for different ways of nature conservation by developing of alternative energy sources, air purification, and water recycling. So, the idea of "green" architecture is relevant in our time.

Daily architects all over the world recognize importance of the environmental protection. “Green” buildings are designed with maximum comfort for people and with minimal impact on the environment.

What is missing in modern concrete megalopolises? That's right; it is the greenery and clean air. Engineers from the Architectural bureau WOHA that create "green" projects in Singapore have noticed this.

WOHA is Singapore architectural firm, founded by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell in 1994. They have become famous for their environmental and social integration.

The shape and exterior of WOHA architecture always takes into consideration the local culture and climate. In order to revitalize the urban environment, WOHA includes natural ecosystems in their architecture.

Let’s consider famous projects developed by this firm.

Residential complex “Duxton Plain”

This complex is a competition WOHA project. The competitive project has played an important role in the development of the company.

Despite the fact that the project has taken the second place, the architects consider it useful for themselves. They paid attention to the subject of high-density housing, high-rise architecture and its features in a tropical climate. Chief architects tried to lay in their project the possibility for the development of internal connections and communication between the residents inside the complex.

All seven buildings are linked at the 26th and 50th floors by sky bridges forming a jogging track and sky garden, a feature that is unique for public housing in Singapore. Other facilities include a food centre, daycare centre, underground car park and other sports and recreational facilities.

The project “SkyVille Dawson"

SkyVille Dawson was based on the same ideas. The project was completed in February 2015. All buildings in the complex include in total 12 villages with 80 apartments, which share a naturally ventilated community terrace and garden. Large trees of the tropical rain forest are planted in the local area are.

The project uses passive means and avoids the use of energy-intensive solutions rather than using high technology. Every unit is naturally ventilated in full, with every room (including bathrooms and kitchens) having windows.

The project uses landscaping throughout the tower in the sky villages; additionally it covers 50% of all roof surfaces. Two major landscaped external spaces totaling 1.5 ha are provided and open to the wider community.

Park royal on Pickering

The hotel is located at the entrance to the business center. Hong Lit City Park is located near the hotel.

The territory of the grower plantations in "Royal Park Hotel" is almost two times more than in the park. Every fourth floor of the building has a terrace with palm trees, bushes, grass, flowers and hanging gardens. Greenery flourishes throughout the entire complex, and the trees and gardens of the hotel appears to merge with those of the adjoining park as one continuous sweep of urban parkland.

The hotel is environmental not only because of the green plants, but there are other modern energy saving technologies. In the hotel "Park royal on Pickering" there is automatic light, rain and traffic sensors, solar panels, water recycling system, rain water collection system, which is used for irrigation of greenery.

In conclusion, I would like to note once again the relevance of the problem. At first glance, it may seem that "green" architecture is just the architecture with integrated natural component, but if you consider this concept more profoundly, we can conclude that it is energy-efficient, economical and ecological architecture, which is created by the interaction of engineering, architectural and landscape solutions.
