About Doe O-Mega Urban Complex Gemengd Gebruiksgebouw

Doe O-Mega Urban Complex is een gebouw met gemengde functies, ontworpen voor een locatie in Bonifacio Global City in Manilla. De elliptische, driedimensionale O-vormige structuur beslaat 400.000 vierkante meter en omvat kantoren, woningen, een hotel, winkels en vergaderruimtes. Het atrium blijft het grootste deel van de dag beschaduwd, waardoor een comfortabele buitenruimte ontstaat, terwijl een windtunnel natuurlijke lucht leidt om het atrium en de lobby te koelen. Lichtgekleurd beton, aluminium panelen en glas verminderen de warmteabsorptie. Fotovoltaïsche glazen leuningen vangen zonne-energie op, en het dak van het podium herbergt een openbare tuin.

Unique Properties
After the redevelopment, in addition to the renovation of the original working space, the project will create a shared complex space integrating fashion and entertainment which open to the public population. The project is expected to be a landmark building, which also provides a demonstration of the green and sustainable development of the city.
Dimensions & Packaging
The fact that large-scaled buildings will produce microclimatic changes to the environment happens to be an architectural strategy in this project. The atrium is under shade most of the day, naturally becoming a comfortable outdoor space. The setting of the wind tunnel can reduce wind resistance and save structural materials at the same time. Natural wind adjusts the temperature of the atrium and the ventilation of the lobby to adjust the temperature as well, which can reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning.

Production Technology
Considering the hot and humid climate in Manila, the materials need to be rust-proof and moisture-proof. At the same time, the facade of the building uses a light color to reduce the amount of light absorption and reduce the temperature. The main materials adopted include concrete, aluminum plate, and glass.
Design Challenge
To solve the problem of how to integrate the park and landscape in the urban complex, the park landscape is raised to the roof of the podium, becoming a comfortable roof garden that combines the sunlight of the building with the self-shading and ventilation.
Research
Located at the northeast corner of Bonifacio Global City in the Philippines, the project site is the most economically prosperous area in Metro Manila. The original building is the office of the Philippine National Petroleum Corporation and the Department of Energy.
Inspiration
Inspired by the existing atrium office space, the design is combined with the elliptical outline to maximize the utilization rate of the site. Under the conditions of echoing the sunshine, external climate, urban landscape, and commercial connection, the building forms a three-dimensional O-shape urban complex (Mega City) with a scale of 400,000 square meters, including office, residential, hotel, commerce, and meeting space.
Project Duration
The project is designed in 2017 and it has been approved by the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, and it has gone to further phrase.
Operation Flow
The railings of the building are equipped with transparent photovoltaic glass, which can collect and use solar energy. The roof of the commercial podium is designed as an urban garden, which greatly reduces the heat island effect. It is not only the front garden of the hotel but also a sports park for citizens to share and interact.
