Awarded the Second Prize in Open category, our winning biomimicry housing design concept by Sally Fu, our BIM Senior Associate, emphasises on innovating in a responsible and sustainable way, and achieving better harmony with the environment and long-term sustainability. We proposed to apply modular design including Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), Multi-trade Integrated MEP (MiMEP), and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) in construction; utilise natural ventilation to reduce power consumption; and adopt high headroom and wide span structure design to allow more space and sunlight.
Various innovative and renewable measures will be incorporated in surrounding leisure facilities and social space, including solar panels for electricity generation, smart metering for energy monitoring, smart multi-purposes lamp post with built-in Wi-Fi for covering outdoor landscape, creating a resilient community and liveable environment for the citizens.
Co-organised by China (Hong Kong) Association of Architects and Engineers, The Research Institute for Land and Space of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), Logistics and Supply Chain MultiTech R&D Centre, Hong Kong STEM Education Alliance, Hong Kong Project Management Exchange Centre, and Hong Kong Academy of Management, the competition recognises building proposals that leverage innovative technologies and creative solutions in design and construction by making use of the HKBIM software platform developed by PolyU.
The recognition is a testimony of how we deploy deep technical expertise to realise our Future Ready vision and drive positive impact to the communities we work in.
