Production Technology
Promenade’s architecture is defined on the one hand by the simplicity and elegance of glazing, black aluminium and wood, and on the other hand, by the biophilic design and the connection with nature.
There are two elements that most define Promenade’s architecture: Glass and Greenery. Glass is an important part of the essence of the building, as the whole facades have been design with floor to ceiling glazing.
And greenery is the element that defines Promenade’s identity.
Light, transparency and greenery, are main concepts of the design.
Design Challenge
In the design of Promenade, the main challenge was to create a building that could really enhance resident’s health and well-being. To create an architecture that could ¨nourish¨ , promoting the possibility of a healthier diet by the production of homegrown food; offering excellent quality of air, water and light; promoting residents to have contact with nature, to exercise, to socialize; designing spaces that inspire, spaces to connect with others and also with themselves, and spaces that can facilitate a good night’s sleep; promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Research
The design seeks to create a healthy architecture. Applied Research was the type of research conducted by the studio with the objective to find the ways in which architecture can enhance human health and well being. The research used a multi method approach to data analysis, including systematic mapping study, structured review and thematic analysis. The research was done with the awareness of the importance of the role buildings can play in human health and well-being, with the objective of creating spaces that enhance physical, mental and social health.
Inspiration
The main objective in the design of Promenade was to create a project that could signify a green landmark in the city, a symbol of nature and health, aiming to enrich the city, and to improve the quality of life of its residents, thanks to the strong connection of the building with nature.
