- One environmental construction feature of the building will be geothermal heating and cooling to reduce energy consumption to regulate the building’s temperature and humidity.
- “I’m going to hand things off to Theo and Thomas to talk more about the main building”
Theo
- Intro
- At a school as rigorous as Stanford, you are inundated with work and the need to study material. It’s a shame that most educational facility study spaces are indoors. If you’re working 50-60 hours/week; most of those are spent indoors. Students and faculty miss out on the surrounding beauty. Our design tries to capitalize on the beauty of the outdoor spaces at college campuses and create more social learning environments.
- Environmental Construction Features include:
- Modular nodules that can be ordered as needed as part of the design
Thomas
- Modeled after a rotted tree husk with fungus growth, metaphorically decomposing the old world to be grown into the new.
- Nodules constructed with mushroom brick?
