The Design
About Aurotek Technology Fábrica
Aurotek Technology é un edificio industrial situado en Kunshan, Jiangsu, China. A planta, de 10344 metros cadrados, alberga un taller de montaxe mecánico, unha sala branca e oficinas de apoio. O exterior está construído con tixolos ocos de formigón de produción local e vidro, dispostos para formar unha pel transpirable que proporciona iluminación natural e autosombreamento. As xanelas de ventilación por flotabilidade aumentan a convección natural do aire, e un atrio verde modera o microclima interior. Empregouse a dinámica de fluídos computacional para estudar a ventilación. O deseño segue o estándar chinés de edificación verde de tres estrelas.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Located in Kunshan, a Chinese city well known for Taiwanese manufacturing industries, the project gets rid of the traditional, outdated, non-environmental stereotype of manufacturing industry. Based on the green idea, the factory integrates technology and ecology and blows people away by its unique characteristics.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Adhering to the corporate philosophy of energy saving and carbon reduction, the 10344-square-meter building itself is a model for green buildings. In accordance with the requirements of the "Green Building Evaluation Standards" (2014 Edition), it adopts the three-star standard of Chinese Green Building as a green building strategy, using hollowed-out building skins and buoyant ventilation windows to increase natural lighting and natural wind convection at the same time.

- Production Technology
- CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) is used to measure ventilation flow and temperature simulation, and to calculate the hours that natural ventilation can be utilized in different indoor load. Besides, the architects simulate the indoor thermal environment of different types of buildings in the climate and construction condition to realize the suitable temperature and humidity in every corner of the building.
- Design Challenge
- It is worth mentioning that a green atrium has been created in the workshop area and the office area to adjust the microclimate. At the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the first floor of the southeast corner of the building, the client’s own electric external sunshade blinds products have been applied, which can directly display and experience their own products.
- Research
- Characterized by the integration of technology and ecology, the building is a mechanical assembly plant, with the main function of the workshop, supplemented by a small amount of working area. The workshop is an open large space that needs to be lighted and ventilated, and the working area includes a photoelectric clean room and supporting offices.
- Inspiration
- Following the vision of innovation and environmental protection, the client, Aurotek Technology, has been developing environmental friendly products which contribute to a greener planet. Inspired by the corporate philosophy and energy-saving sun-shading blinds products, the architects adopt the common local materials as concrete hollow bricks and glass to build the exterior, which is economically and environmentally friendly.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed from May, 2014 to November, 2015, and built in April in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China.
- Operation Flow
- Through the arrangement and combination of hollow bricks and glass, a breathable building skin is formed featured the natural lighting and self-shading function. The design minimizes the later decoration,which runs through the whole construction process with the concept of environmental protection.
