Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 Campus Comes Without Electricity

 Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4
The architectural company Serie Architects and Multiply Architects have succeeded in building green building in Singapore with open space design. The building is the National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Design and Environment 4  Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 (SDE4) campus. The architects claim this campus as an example of sustainable building design that applies the principle of zero-energy building. The 8,500 square meter building consists of six floors. Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 SDE4 provides more than 1,500 square meters of design space, open areas, public spaces, discussion rooms, research centers, cafes and libraries. Serie Architects based in London and Multiply Architects which are local companies won international competitions in 2013 to design the building.The architectural company Serie Architects and Multiply Architects have succeeded in building green building in Singapore with open space design. Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 The building is the National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Design and Environment 4 (SDE4) campus.

Serie Architects based in London and Multiply Architects  Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 which are local companies won international competitions in 2013 to design the building. The design was part of the rebuilding of a wider campus than was previously on Clementi Road, near the southern coast of Singapore. The green building design is intended to reflect the campus's ability to practice sustainable design in the world of education in Southeast Asia. The teaching space is flexible and can be used for various purposes. Meanwhile, the interaction between the residents of the campus is supported by an open architecture that creates access to the surrounding environment. "One of our ambitions when starting this project was to oppose the idea that building energy-efficient buildings is difficult," said the head of Serie Architects, Christopher Lee, as reported by Dezeen on Saturday (03/02/2019). SDE4 consists of a collection of rooms and terraces which are considered as grouping and arrangement of building programs. Stairs and corridors are designed extensively to connect between different rooms so that access is created in interconnected buildings. "The basis of SDE4 development is to bring interaction and connectivity visually. We imagine open connections where the outer and inner spaces are not separate, while the nature and surrounding landscape are the background of the building," Lee added. Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4
This openness can also be seen from the typical tropical architecture. Examples are verandas and balconies which become natural ventilation so that outside wind can flow into the room. As for a number of open spaces, informal learning spaces can be used, while some spaces in the east and west are designed to conduct research. Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 This research area is located behind a corrugated and perforated aluminum panel screen that allows light and air to enter. Some parts of aluminum can be dismantled and replaced if for testing new systems and green building technology. While the building on the south side is designed to have a high and large roof to create a protected foyer. The position stretches from end to end of the building. The close relationship between the building and the surrounding nature is emphasized through the integration of a number of open spaces to the outside but still under the roof, while protecting the garden and the trees that grow there. Gardens are an important part of ecological and pedagogical learning for SDE4 students. Nature can help purify water runoff from the roof, and it provides lessons on water management. In addition, learning to recognize types of plants can be used as a basis for environmental education.  Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4 This campus building is made of concrete, steel and glass materials used in raw conditions with the aim of applying biophilic principles or designs related to nature. For example, using concrete with different finishing touches and is natural. An example of SDE4's commitment to zero-energy consumption is the use of 1,200 photovoltaic panels on the roof. Campus Comes Without Electricity Save Energy, Singapore SDE4
