Description |
|
This odd
looking structure is an energy efficient
building designed at the Institute for
Advanced Architecture of Catalonia as part
of the Smart City Expo in Barcelona.
The Greentooth.net website explains that the
building is, "... equipped
with photovoltaic panels on the angular,
multi-level roofs, which ultimately
optimize the energy efficiency space.
Additionally, the structure is
intentionally made of wood because of
its natural properties that are
beneficial to the adaptability of
design, ease of use and thermal
insulation. " When I visited the building in 2014 it appeared to have been the victim of a fire. |
