Composite Diagram The trees along with the burrow seek to maintain separation of public and private by terraforming the site and burying the building. Massing Extrusions The masses are predominantly subterranean, with the introverted triangular projection forming the backdrop for the pavilion.

This project aims at spatially manifesting the idea of the “veil”. This has been employed by using two-way mirrors, wherein one side is transparent and the other, brighter side behaves like a mirror.

Closed-loop

SUMMER/SPRING Heat Exchanger WINTER/AUTUMN In general, HVAC Demands for Museums and Commercial Spaces = one ton of cooling capacity per 400-600 square feet Assuming 600sqft/ton, that means approximately 64tons. Piping length is 300ft per ton of HVAC capacity.Therefore, pipe length= 64X300 = 19200ft Pipes are buried in trenches that are spaced at least 20ft apart and laid in a grid. They need to be atleast 10ft away from the streets so as to not interfere with city water lines. They are made of HDPE which is extremely robust and requires little to no maintenance.
