With large population our planet has right now, creative people are now in goal to create structures that will best suit as answers for economic development. There are buildings built all over the world which speaks of human’s improvement when it comes to creativity and uniqueness.
Wherever places you may be, atmosphere really lights up when you find amazing structures like this one in China.
This is ‘The Lotus Building’, an exquisitely beautiful building found in the artificial lake at the center of Wujin, China that takes its form from the blooming lotus flower.
This beautiful building is a new fantastic new structure from Australian architecture firm Studio 505 and is the home to departments of the planning bureau of China.
It houses brightly lit exhibition halls, meeting rooms and conference centers that are as stunning and fanciful as the exterior. Inside and out the structure is covered with a mosaic of hexagonal tiles, merging interior and exterior into a seamless whole.
The external ‘petals’ of the structure are filled with colorful ribs which emulate the flower like appearance of the structure – something that is further enhanced by atmospheric lighting at night.
Studio 505 explains that “The project has been designed to minimise energy usage- with over 2500 geothermal piles driven through the base of the artificial lake, The entire lake water mass and ground beneath is utilised to pre-cool (summer) and pre-warm (winter) the air conditioning systems for both the lotus and the two storey building beneath the lake.
The project is also mixed mode and naturally ventilated and utilises evaporative cooling from the lake surface to drive a thermal chimney within the main flower pod.”
