Building Architecture to Become London’s Famous Landmark
Thinking of London could lead you to London Bridge, the London Tower, or the Big Ben Clock. But soon, a far more eco-friendly and fully creative architectural design derived from a can of ham will rise. Not only that, this new icon for London is environmentally sound and popular. The perspective just creatively matched the characteristics of nearby structures while exerting a unique design in its environment.
This Can of Ham building is really a glass-and-metal product just like any other modern-day skyscraper designs. It has some elevator strips in the center thereby giving more strength in the middle of the structure.
Its eco-friendly characteristic includes photovoltaic panels on top, good daylight penetration, and it also is thermal energy-ready as it has boreholes. Photovoltaic panels collect energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. Their prospective location within the structure is just so right to capture the greatest amount of light at any time of the day. Its good daylight penetration, along with its glass walls, can conserve electricity from lighting usage during daytime. Its low solar gain in the middle is just so right to have a soothing light passing through slightly tainted glass walls.
Its foundation is drilled deeply providing ready-to install thermal energy system. Thermal energy can also be a source of electricity to power the entire building. The boreholes also give further anchor beneath the ground for greater earthquake resistance. This structure could uncompromisingly replace any famous icon in London for its fine architectural design concept and great environmentally-sound features.
