Award: 2019 International Chapter Award for Educational Architecture
‘The Arc’ at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, is the first large scale successful realisation of a naturally ventilated education building in the tropics. The building features deep external verandahs – 30 percent of the floor area – while maintaining indoor space that allows airflow.
The Arc is has been termed 'A building that breathes' as its design utilises passive cooling, achieved by the curvilinear ‘Arc’ building form, and employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology to deliver comfortable naturally ventilated spaces. Additionally, The Arc utilises low energy Passive Displacement Ventilation for internal spaces, embracing tropical climate and landscape.
KIRK welcomes you to view the entire project on our Portfolio page.
