The Resilient Textile Borders Centre Project Yirun Jin + Jing Li
+ Programme and Place + Prospectus + Prototype
Experience Centre Prototype Low CO2 Concrete (The production of cement is responsible for as much as 5% of the total CO2 emited each year.) • Achieving a sense of heaviness and thickness • Durability and service life • Thermal mass • Various alternative concrete derived material that are generated from the by-product of the use of load-bearing concrete. Timber-Frame Walls • Natural building material • Renewable • Low embodied energy (local resource) • Can be prefabricated In summer: classrooms and ground floor will be naturally ventilated, thermal mass can slow down the heat flow for passive cooling, ventilation louvres on rooftop for stack ventilation.

In winter: openings will be closed to reduce heat loss, thermal mass can store heat for passive heating, heat recogery system with efficiency rate of 89%.
