Last year Henning Larsen Architects completed Umeå University's new Architecture Academy in Sweden, which is part of a larger development of the entire arts campus. The building's design focuses upon daylighting and sustainability -- rather than covering the entire building in glass, the architects skinned it in a locally sourced wood envelope punctuated with aperture-like windows. An integrated ventilation, heating and lighting system allows the building to reduce its energy use by 50%.
question,
iwould like to know more about how they make fresh air enters the building from under the floor plan and over, traveling through the building via columns and beams…?
thanks
