Design Concept The    design    requirements    of    the    Phase    3    development    include    creating    an    innovative    iconic    architecture, generating   ingenious   and   sustainable   low   carbon   design,   and   designing   the   building   which   unifies   the   Park’s development   in   harmony   with   other   buildings   in   the   Park.   A   big   challenge   for   these   needs   is   to   reveal   the gateway   of   Hong   Kong   Science   Park.   The   Park   is   the   place   where   the   science   and   its   technology   has   been studied   and   developed   in   Hong   Kong.   The   Ideal   symbolism   of   the   Park   has   to   enhance   its   identity   among   other buildings   in   the   science   park.   For   this   creation   of   the   new   icon,   our   initiation   on   design   is   crossed   over   to   the idea   of   math,   geometry,   or   even   comprehensive   symbols   to   mimic   physics.   Furthermore,   our   design   idea   has been   narrowed   down   into   a   form   that   will   mingle   those   symbols   as   well   as   the   design   requirements.   So,   we introduce the ‘CUBE’, as the new icon.  
주원교회 건축설계 디자인 / ARCHITECTURE DESIGN FOR CHURCH
The   “Cube”   has   been   evolved   in   various   steps   of   design   process.   It   is   transformed   from   its   own   form   to   another. In   order   to   follow   one   of   the   required   design   elements,   the   form   is   oriented   toward   sun   angles   to   maximize   the absorption   of   the   solar   energy.   The   Sun   will   be   utilized   to   generate   electrical   power   through   the   installed   photo- voltaic   panels   on   the   tilted   roof   area.   So,   the   entire   electrical   consumption   of   the   building   will   be   covered through   this   system   except   retail   and   coffee   shop   at   level   1.   The   energy   will   be   gathered   to   the   battery   installed at   level   4   and   level   5,   and   it   will   be   closely   connected   to   the   Photo-voltaic   Panels   installed   on   the   same   levels.   In addition,   inclined   facade   walls   represent   sustainable   ideas   of   the   material   uses.   It   uses   dual   layered   composite panels.   The   wall   unit   is   combined   with   light   weight   precast   composite   panel   at   exterior,   MDF   panels   at   interior, and   low-E   dual   glass   in-between.   It   will   limit   the   sun   lights   during   day   time   and   minimize   heat   transmittance   to the   interior   space.   Furthermore,   exterior   walls   are   transformed   by   its   functional   requirement   for   the   use   of rooms   providing   balconies   and   glass   openings,   and   air   ventilation   openings   at   building   core.   Thus,   the   “Cube”   is connected   to   another   cube   (Cube   Annex).   This   is   a   transitional   form,   the   link   bridge   to   the   podium   to   the   main ‘Cube’.      This   linkage   not   only   amplifies   the   dynamic   form   of   the   Cube,   but   maintains   the   existing   building   design in harmony with the new icon as well.
We   believe   not   in   a   dramatic   way   but   practical   that   the   simple   form   of   the   cube   will   represent   the   Science   Park   to be   the   new   icon   especially   for   it   transforms   into   the   developed   shape   to   function   as   mixed-use   office   tower   so   as for the ideas of iconic and sustainable building for Hong Kong Science Park.
