Final 3D print model

This was produced using my Revit model - converted to an STL file using a plugin (see Revit blog for details). Turned out better than I had hoped:)
It was eventually mounted into my site model so the circular courtyard was flush with the top surface (not sitting above as it is here).

Feedback on v6

• break up the roof more - ie. light, lower some sections
• connection to courtyard - experiment with continuing the green roof/earth downwards to the ground, like a normal landscape (with nothing holding it up - precarious)
• courtyard corner on SW, get rid of this
• tower, enliven - go with second skin idea with corten steel perforations, more at top, lit at the top, able to see out at the top, almost transparent
• venting to allow cooling tower effect
• perhaps have another 'tower' element within the building, same/similar materials, but much lower, ie. may function as a connection between level 0 and 1 or as a light tower

Green roof/facade

Could use some of the roof and/or underside for the nursery.

shop architects: botswana innovation hub

...the client’s brief was for an iconic yet timeless building which employed the most cutting-edge green
technology available...shop’s design uses a variety of sustainable techniques,
including an 'energy blanket' roofscape, which combines passive and active
sustainable energy techniques. the roof design of the botswana innovation hub incorporates large
overhangs to passively shade the building’s interior volumes, mechanisms to collect and re-use water,
and both passive and active photovoltaic systems to harness solar energy. the combination of these
technologies will offset at least half of the building’s operational energy costs. where the roof slope
prevents optimal solar collection, a low-maintenance roof garden collects and filters rainwater. this
harvested water supports both the roof garden and the bioswales downstream in the courtyards

... three hinged volumes that form a twisting roof-scape and elongated form. a series
of identical trusses are slightly offset, differing in their relation to the ground to create a
subtly unfolding design that is evident on both the inside and the outside
