Materialisation: Strategic Architectural Design Development (SADD)

Abstract

This project concerns a graduation project from the department of materialisation: Strategic Architectural Design Development (SADD). The design focuses upon a new UN council in New York City: the United Nations Environmental Council (UNEC) which is placed in the north lawn, next to the current UN Headquarters. The building contains a mixed program of functions which are coherent to the building’s main function: to collect research material (library), to produce policies (offices), to propagate to citizens (auditoria) and to exchange knowledge to countries (the main council room). Due to the very nature of the building varies sustainable solutions are architecturally integrated in the design.
