The Concept of The School Library was to Create a Garden Reading Environment
The latest full-service contract, the extension project of ASUM (the Affiliated School of the University of Macau), was completed at the end of 2021. The project is under the application of Green Architecture at the highest ranking of Hong Kong BEAM-Plus V. 2.0. One of the highlights of the new tuition building is the use of CdTe glazing to collect and convert solar energy into electrical power. MCP collaborated with Shen Milsom & Wilke Ltd, working on stage, lighting and acoustic design for the auditorium.
The concept of the school library was to create a garden reading environment which will be open to the community during the weekend. The building façade uses symbols and colours representative of the school. There are also several light wells provided for underground parking and a canteen. These light wells introduce natural light and ventilation to the basement and serves the vertical greenery and aquaponics pond.
Architecture plays a vital role in urban and cultural development, and this project enhances the physical facilities as the tools for education. The new building will hopefully achieve four goals: environmental friendliness, barrier-free, intelligence and community sharing.
