Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavik

Meriden Design and Creative Arts Building, Australia

These are some inspiration pictures for my design. I would like my sustainable building to have a modern look with a cutting-edge design and have at least the following features:

1. A flat roof for ease of installation of solar panels. The first idea that comes to my mind when I think of sustainability is renewable energy and thus, I would love to have such a feature.
2. The same flat roof can also be a great place for a green roof. I would also possibly want to include some sort of vegetation on the sides of the building.
3. Lots of windows to allow lots of natural light.
4. A big open space for the exhibitions
