This render demonstrates the aggregated 'branches' on the facade of the building that are used to demonstrate the idea of data growth, management and storage in the 'Smart City'.
Entrance Render
This render demonstrates what a visitor would be met with when entering the iHub/Fab Lab space. They are asked to consider a 'transaction' of data in return for a more comfortable and efficient experience.
Key Interior Floor Plan
This floor plan demonstrates the combination of 'iHub' and 'Fab Lab' equipment within the space and the general circulation of the area.
Eastern Facade Elevation
These two views of the eastern elevation demonstrate how the 'branches' rotate to demonstrate the growth of data whilst simultaneously lighting up the building. As the ceramic brick branches rotate, their opposing coloured side is shown.
Southern Elevation of Facade
This southern elevation demonstrates in further detail how light is surveyed and then reflected back in response to the growth and collection of data on site.
