About
This environmentally friendly
approach can also come with green material science. In one of our projects in
Surabaya, BYO Living covers the entire midrise building skin out of woven
panels made of recycled industrial plastic waste. We develop a tilted frame
opening for passive cooling airflow.
Challenges
The raw materials are developed from
industrial leftovers to reduce waste and to contribute to a better environment.
This project also targets the industry standard of the highest green building
certification.
Solution
With our rapid development, BYO
Living have innovated architectural technologies to incorporate weaving into
buildings. Our research team have found that besides of the lightweight aspect,
the weaving system can filter light and air circulation of a building. A
combination that could lead to an ultimate energy-reduction strategy for green
buildings.
