Vertical tower

The project is a vertical Tower situated in Hong Kong. It integrates hydroponic food production into a GRC cladding facade with adequate solar exposure. The building consist of vertical tower and horizontal pier. In this report, I will focus on the facade system and solar shading device on the vertical tower.Vertical facades at northern latitudes admit a fairly

even distribution of sunlight throughout the year. During the winter, produce prices peak and conventional produce either has to travel great distances or is grown hydro-ponically in leaky greenhouse with substantial energy requirements. As with many steel-framed skyscrapers, the primary energy is that of cooling. Vertical farming the hydroponic would be illuminated by natural daylight Ambient light comes from sunlight channelled through windows and is reflected off walls and ceiling to extend its reach with minimum glare and intensity. With an ceighting height of 7m, daylight penetrates deep in the the hydroponic space.
