About Green Island Хотын Цахилгаан Дэд Станц
Цахилгаан дэд станц нь тогтвортой дизайн болон хотын үйл ажиллагааг нэгтгэж олон нийтийн дэд бүтцийг шинэчлэн тодорхойлсон байна. Давхар хучилттай фасад нь урд болон зүүн талдаа эрчим хүчний хэмнэлтийг хангах нарны зай суурилуулсан бол хойд болон баруун талдаа ногоон хананд ургамал тарих савнуудыг байрлуулсан. Урд талын фасад нь дуу чимээний бохирдлыг бууруулж, тухайн бүсийг шугаман цэцэрлэгт хүрээлэн болгон хувиргаж, явган хүний идэвхи болон олон нийтийн харилцааны боломжийг бүрдүүлсэн. Энэхүү шинэлэг арга барил нь зайлшгүй шаардлагатай дэд бүтэц байгаль орчин болон нийгмийн сайн сайхан байдалд хэрхэн хувь нэмэр оруулж чадахыг онцлон харуулсан байна.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The power substation uses a double-skin facade to create a “breathing, growing, and energy-storing” Green Island, blending infrastructure with vibrant public space. Solar panels on the south and east maximize energy efficiency, while the north and west feature green walls with planting troughs. The southern facade shields traffic noise and transforms the edge into a lively linear park, connecting neighborhoods and fostering community engagement.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project is located on a 50,000 mm x 70,000 mm site, with a total building height of 12,000 mm.
- Tags
- Green Island, Public Space, Urban Infrastructure, Ecological Design, Sustainability, Power Substation, Double-skin Facade
- Production Technology
- The design was developed using a research-driven approach, integrating sustainable strategies and advanced modeling techniques. A double-skin facade system was employed, combining solar photovoltaic panels on sun-facing sides for energy efficiency and perforated aluminum panels with planting troughs on shaded facades to foster biodiversity. Parametric design tools optimized the facade's performance, ensuring a balance between functionality, aesthetics, and ecological benefits.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was balancing strict regulations with innovative design. Local laws restricted changes to building footprints, limiting structural flexibility. Socially, the challenge was transforming a utilitarian substation into a community asset. Technologically, optimizing the double-skin facade for energy efficiency while supporting dynamic green walls required advanced simulations. Overcoming these obstacles involved integrating research, creativity, and stakeholder collaboration.
- Research
- This applied research aimed to transform infrastructure into vibrant public spaces, focusing on sustainability and urban connectivity. Using sunlight analysis, energy modeling, and environmental simulations, we gathered data with parametric tools. Community feedback and expert insights informed the design. Results showed solar panels enhance energy efficiency, while green walls improve air quality and biodiversity. The project highlights how infrastructure can unite ecological, social, and functional goals.
- Inspiration
- This project was inspired by a desire to blend essential infrastructure with urban vitality. Motivated by the potential to turn functional structures into assets for the city, I aimed to create a sustainable design that balances energy efficiency with ecological and social benefits. Drawing from research in green architecture, the project transforms a passive boundary into an active public space that fosters harmony between nature and the urban environment.
- Project Duration
- The project designed in September 2024 in Shanghai, China.
- Operation Flow
- This project combines energy efficiency and urban vitality by using solar panels on sunlit sides to generate power and adjustable panels that provide shade and shelter for pedestrians. The green walls grow with the seasons, creating a dynamic and eco-friendly facade. The design transforms the space into a welcoming park, reducing noise, improving air quality, and connecting neighborhoods, making it both functional and inviting for the community.
