Summarising Yeang’scontribution at
the recent Flashpoint Conference in Sydney, Adrian Boddy ofUTS
observed that “Yeanghas made Architectural
Science look sexy!”

Reintroduction of organic mass to
urban site tocounterbalance inorganic nature of the site
_ This latest concept project from the offices of
T R Hamzah and Yeangintroduces a further
chapter in the innovative design
career of Dr Ken Yeang.Overa period of nearly
25 years he has establishedhimself as a seminal
contributor tothinking and practice in, to use his own favoured
words, ‘bioclimatic’architecture.
His best known ‘bioclimatic’ buildings
are the UMNO Tower in Penang and
Menara Mesiniagain Selangor,
both in Malaysia,and his books
include Designing
architects elaborates the design process,describing a broad analysis of the site
context, views, microclimate andnon-existent flora and fauna – described as a
‘zeroculture’ at the bottom of Yeang’shierarchy of ecosystems. A worthy
evaluation of the vegetation patterns within a 1.5 km radius of the site is used to
inform a program of planting on the project that is integrated with the site and
structure in a vertical landscaping scheme of planted terraces and facades, using
species selected to be compatiblewith indigenous species of the locality.
Also worthy is the strategy to confrontthe issue of spatial continuity, universally
lacking in high-rise buildings due to physical compartmentation of floors. The
design creates ‘vertical places’,using a ramp system that allows pedestrian
movement vertically throughthe tower along a vertical ‘street’ lined with
exhibition and performance spaces, cafés, shops and offices with occasional
sitting and gathering areas. There are bridge links to adjoining buildings that
reinforce the lower levels as public territory and planted terraces and sky-gardens

and landscaping
The proposal does not document any thermal modellingor relate this to utilization energy demand. It was
suggested that the building could be 40 percentenergy self-sufficient through energy sourced from solar
photovoltaic panels, but this has been revised downwards to 20.4 percent based
on photovoltaics yielding a perhaps over optimistic 1.05 kWh/sq.m/day (0.75 kWh/sq.m/day
would be morerealistic?). The figures supplied have the overall energy demand of the building,with a working population of 356 people,
at 228 kWh/sq.m/year gross, includingthe open vegetated ramps, or 385 kWh/sq.m/year net,
which seems high

If we could start from scratch,
what would the priorities be?
“We need to design sustainable
societies; sustainable energies,
sustainable lifestyles,
functioning
communities. Things like that.
That’s something that used to
exist, but it is
a radical difference from now.”
-Noam Chomsky
