The design involved a close collaborative process between studioMAS and Arup. The result is a rational design in which architecture and engineering are thoroughly integrated, having been developed side by side from the earliest conceptual stage. The fa?ade, executed using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), gives the building its distinct identity.
The site, previously a parking lot, is rectangular and orientated at a slight diagonal from north-south. The pleated timber fa?ade corrects this by folding the timber or glazing onto a direct north-south which assists with the sun control strategy. The carbon savings involved in the use of CLT are significant. It is local, renewable, and highly durable. It requires no additional finishes to the interior or exterior, no insulation, it’s a room temperature material, and ultimately it allows for the timber fa?ade to improve with time as its weathers and ages.
Cooling is achieved using primarily natural ventilation. Windows are either manually or automatically operated. The deep rectangular floor plates are centrally split with a naturally ventilated street/atrium which allows for cross ventilation and natural lighting. This central nat-vent street has a row of large high-level drums that act as both chimneys and light scoops (automated windows at the roof level control air movement through drums). The dimensions of the floor plates, the central street, the fa?ade design, and TABS (thermally activated building system i.e. chilled water pipes cast in floor slabs) make it possible to control the temperature of the building passively for approximately 82% of the year.
The drums and central street define the interior space: it’s where people circulate, meet, and interact. This street and entrance piazza also speak to the larger urban plan which will unfold as the precinct develops, which opens connections between the V&A Waterfront and Greenpoint and which will ultimately contribute to creating a more integrated connected city.
The building's success relies on a behavioral change from the corporate user – for example, the opening and closing of windows. This relationship between the inhabitant and the outside has a direct impact on energy/carbon consumption, fresh air, the clothes you wear to work, one's connection to the outside environment, & ultimately happiness levels.

需要知道的一些钢结构知识点1.钢结构设计时,挠度超出限值,会后什么后果? 影响正常使用或外观的变形;影响正常使用或耐久性能的局部损坏(包括裂缝);影响正常使用的振动;影响正常使用的其它特定状态。 2. 采用直缝钢管代替无缝管,不知能不能用? 结构用钢管中理论上应该是一样,区别不是很大,直缝焊管不如无缝管规则,焊管的形心有可能不在中心,所以用作受压构件时尤其要注意,焊管焊缝存在缺陷的机率相对较高,重要部位不可代替无缝管,无缝管受加工工艺的限制管壁厚不可能做的很薄(相同管径的无缝管平均壁厚要比焊管厚),很多情况下无缝管材料使用效率不如焊管,尤其是大直径管。
