| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to elaborate "EPFL Rolex Learning Center" in the process of adaptation, from campus development background to building realization. Mainly, the proposed "Free curved shell structure" by SANAA was adjusted more precisely to the futuristic multi-use library by changing its dimension and structural strategy. In addition, the passive mechanical installations corresponding to "Minergie" energy consumption label make sense of sustainable tendencies. It helps not only to expend its range of understanding beyond the avant-garde concepts but also to demonstrate new way of realization of grand public facility. |
