The Taichung Convention Center seems to blend mountainous architecture with sustainably soothing green technologies. Designed by the Beijing architects MAD, the buildings will have facades studded with photovoltaic panels to help provide them with abundant solar power. The concertina surface will create a natural passage for natural light and air as well. While it will cut down the expenses relating to heating and cooling solutions, the overall energy consumption also will follow suit.
Stretched over an area of 70,318sqm, the convention center will feature exhibition halls, a convention center, offices and retail spaces. The architects have been specially commissioned by the Taiwanese government to suggest an eco-friendly model for the proposed construction and they’ve done a commendable job indeed.
