THE PROPOSED GORE STREET MEDICAL CENTRE<br />
WAS DESIGNED TO CREATE A CALMING, OTHER<br />
WORLDLY EXPERIENCE WITHIN BUT TO ALSO<br />
CREATE A VISUAL DISTURBANCE TO ITS<br />
SURROUNDING. THE UNIQUE PLAN LAYOUT<br />
REFLECTS THE STRUCTURE OF MOLECULES, THE<br />
WAY EACH ROOM ENCROACHES INTO ONE<br />
ANOTHER AND THE SITE AS IF ALMOST<br />
INFECTING THE SITE. THE PLAN WAS DESIGNED<br />
IN SUCH A WAY TO ELIMINATE CORRIDORS AND<br />
TO CREATE OPEN PLAN SPACES. THE SHAPE OF<br />
THE PLAN THEN CREATED THE UNIQUE FORM.<br />
THE BUILDING IS CLADDED IN DANPALON<br />
CONTROLITE PANELS WHICH OPTIMISES LIGHT<br />
AND SOLAR HEAT GAIN IN ANY SEASON. THE<br />
EXTERNAL SENSORS ON THE PANELS DETECTS<br />
THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN AND INTERNAL<br />
SENSORS REGISTER THE LEVEL OF LIGHT INSIDE<br />
THE BUILDING. THE INTELLIGENT SYSTEM THEN<br />
BALANCES LIGHT LEVELS, HEAT GAIN AND<br />
SHADING TO TRANSMIT APPROPRIATELY<br />
FILTERED LIGHT, ENSURING A COMFORTABLE<br />
INDOOR ENVIRONMENT.
