Industrial Buildings are strictly functional machines where concerns of efficiency, security & economy are paramount. The structures must also be energy efficient & environmentally responsive, as they use a large amount of energy.
In the factory building design the responsiveness of the design can be directly perceived in the facades – the washing plant with its double height spaces & large-scale machines are covered by a continuous screen & tree canopies, the storage floor are mostly solid due to security concerns, the RMG floors has a brise-soleil that cuts direct sun while allowing views & wind-flow, the dining spaces & offices has terraces with plantation & sitting.
