In order to sat is fy the LAGI br ie f , as a group we sought to create an ins ta l la t ion that was re levant to the s i te . We conducted ex tens ive research on Copenhagen ’s people , c l imate , cur rent env i ronmenta l i ssues as wel l as producing energy for Copenhagen through the ins ta l la t ion o f so lar f i lm wi th in our scu lptura l des ign .

P R O J E C T D E S C R I P T I O N

In a rap id ly advancing env i ronment , we are faced wi th a problem of how to be e f f ic ient . Our pro ject successfu l ly takes the idea o f e f f ic ient energy sav ing look ing towards a carbon neut ra l env i ronment . In address ing th is issue , the panels were created on the most e f f ic ient areas o f the model a t the most appropr ia te angles . S i t t ing f la t or a t 90 degrees is a lmost use less so our des ign a l lows for the th in ‘Power F i lm ’ so lar f i lm to be p laced on the open faces o f the s tee l s t ructure . The s t r ips o f f i lm come on a ro l l however can be custom made to su i t a par t icu lar s t ructure such as ours . Fur thermore , our s tee l s t ructure is 250mm th ick pre fabr icated s tee l co lourbond panels which wi l l be jo ined on s i te wi th L imcon Angle C leat connect ions for s t ructura l in tegr i ty .

We researched s t ructura l e f f ic ient ways o f combin ing form wi th funct ion and found that the Yoshimura pat tern u t i l i ses in terest ing fo lds that were both s t ructura l and aesthet ic . Th is concept t ies back to the idea o f e f f ic iency expl ic i t in b iomimic sys tems and how des ign can adopt form and funct ion equal ly and s imul taneous ly .

Pat tern ing that is v is ib le in h igh ly complex b iomimic sys tems was adopted through the use o f the Yoshimura d iagonal d iamond pat tern to create an ex t remely e f focoent s t ructure that a lso has necessary sur face area for so lar sk in sheets to produce energy .
