RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The massing of this project is huge, so it is important to choose a right material to build its enclosure. At first, we used expanded metal mesh, but due to the huge dimensions of the building, the construction effect is not good. Then we changed our design and try to use aluminium panels with glazed glass to build its facade.
