* 캔 재활용 외피 [ Archi Union Architects Inc ] Can Cube

캔의 재발견
흔히 우리가 버리는 캔을 재활용 하여 외피시스템으로 구현하였네요.
캔 재질이 알루미늄이라 한번쓰고 버리는 일회용이라는 것이
상당히 낭비죠.
물론 2차, 3차 가공을 통하여 다른 형태로 구현되는 것도 좋은 방법이지만
현재 가지고 있는 형태를 재활용하여 만든 시스템이 돋보입니다.
재활용센터에 가보면 캔을 찌그러뜨려서 블록으로 만들어 놓은거 보셨나요?
마치 개비옹 옹벽을 만든 것처럼 재활용 할 수 있을 것 같아요 ^^

Can Cube’s facade is a system of aluminium carbonated drink cans which are enclosed in an aluminium frame. The façade saves the energy wasted during recycling processes by reusing the cans in their current form, without the need for recycling or further processes. For more about this sustainable mixed-use design, photographs and drawings, following the break.

Archi Union’s sustainable mixed-use Can Cube design is an innovative residential and office building, located in Shanghai. By utilizing several ecological and renewable systems the building is highly efficient and sustainable. The entrance level and below ground level are both occupied by office space, while levels two and three are recreational and private living quarters. At the entrance is a gradually recessed garden, leading to the basement level. A bridge connects the foot of the garden to the first floor level.

Enclosing them in an aluminium frame keeps the structure light and easily adjustable by its occupants. Window-sash type sections within the façade provide the user with full control of sunlight/daylight in all seasons. The façade works alongside underground heating and cooling devices, rainwater filtration and solar energy systems, which all provide more efficiency and minimize the wastage of energy.
