The Initial Concept For The School Of Mechanical Engineering Was To Meet All Criteria For A Completely Green Building In The 21st Century. The Future Of Mechanical Engineering Resides In Automation, The Use Of Renewable Energies, And The Optimization Of Mechanical Systems. Maxthreads’ Proposal Utilizes Sun-Tracking Devices Which Enhance Solar Energy Collection. Slow-Moving Solar Panels And Louvres Also Represent The Nature Of Mechanical Engineering.
The Design Accepts The Manipulation Of Ground And Articulation Of Structure As A New Typology Of Landscape, Allowing Some Interior Spaces To Become External, And Vice Versa. The Building Consists Of A Main Block And Semi-Public Square, Which Is Connected By A Large Existing Landscape That Integrates Seamlessly With The Architecture.
