About Green Island Substasyon ng Kuryente sa Lunsod
Pinagsasama ng substasyon ng kuryente ang sustainable na disenyo at functionality sa lunsod upang muling tukuyin ang pampublikong imprastraktura. Ang double skin facade nito ay may mga solar panel sa timog at silangan para sa kahusayan ng enerhiya, samantalang ang mga paanan ng halaman sa mga berdeng pader ay nagpapayaman sa hilaga at kanluran. Binabawasan ng timog na facade ang polusyon sa ingay at nagiging linear park ang lugar, na lumilikha ng mga pagkakataon para sa aktibidad ng mga naglalakad at pakikipag-ugnayan ng komunidad. Ang makabagong pamamaraang ito ay nagpapakita kung paano ang mahalagang imprastraktura ay maaaring mag-ambag sa kapakanan pangkapaligiran at panlipunan.

Press Kit
- 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.

- 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.
