丹顿科克马歇尔’s Broadway Building, UTS
The悉尼科技大学,澳大利亚(UTS) solicited design proposals for a new building to house its Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology as part of the school’sBroadway Building Design Competition. The school was in search of an architecture firm that could design a “gateway” building that referenced the urban context and the City Campus Master Plan while supporting a large population of students and faculty and reducing the school’s environmental impact. In July 2009, UTS announced the winning design, submitted by Australian architectural firm丹顿科克马歇尔, from over 60 international entries. Selected by UTS representatives, the City of Sydney, and the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Planning, the design for the Information Technology and Engineering (ITE) Building was chosen for its aesthetic appeal, as well as its functionality and sustainable qualities.
丹顿科克马歇尔's winning design features four tilted and skewed plates (one for each façade) that form the building’s envelope and mark the entrances by extending to grade. The building also features “gills" located on the surface of each plate to signify the designers’ vision of a living, breathing structure. Perforated aluminum sheets, serving as screens, are attached to the plates. Each screen is perforated with a series of 1s and 0s to resemble the binary sequence for "University of Technology, Sydney Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology," which makes it a one-of-a-kind addition to the campus.
百老汇大厦(ITE大厦)具有比单纯的美感更多提供。它的内部设计是独一无二的,因为它的外观。扩展超过27000平方微米。(约290625平方英尺),百老汇大厦的16级(4级以下),将能够容纳4300名学生和500教师,以及内部研究和教学实验室,阶梯教室,会议室,学术和行政办公室,和停车场。该结构的较低水平将会向公众开放,以随着级别的提高接入逐渐减少。此外,一行人庭将整个建筑(表示心脏),使UTS学生和教师轻松连接与学校的周边地区,以及提供自然光线垂直和水平运行。
In addition to revolutionary design, the Broadway Building will also be sustainable. Targeting a minimum 5-star绿色之星rating (similar toLEEDin the U.S.), the building is expected to deliver 30--45% energy savings, 20--30% potable water savings, and a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when compared to similar educational facilities (the Broadway Building will be the first 5-Star Green Star building on the UTS campus). The building was designed for maximum access todaylight和fresh air to reduce dependence on artificial lighting and the use of air conditioning. It will also feature low-energy lighting, a double-glazed façade with night-purge opening panels, and an ultra-efficient under-floor air distribution system. The binary sequence perforating the exterior façade of the building also acts as a sustainable feature, as the 45% shading coefficient it will provide will result in energy savings of 10--15%.
拆迁,其中包括以腾出空间去除三个现有建筑物的结构,在10月完成了2010年发掘工作预计在一月或2011年2月开始的项目,该项目估计价值$ 170亿美元,定于完成于2012年底或2013年初。
