SUSTAINABLE
ENERGY
Energy will be mainly derived via solar
and hydro sources, captured by the pv
canopies on the lower levels and tracking
pv panels on the core roof. This helps to
capture solar and hydroelectric power,
as well as water supply, which wil be
stored in batteries and water tanks, before
being distributed via the integrated super
structure to the homes and programs.
Reimagining the Packard plant as a place
for both production and living transforms
its identity from an abandoned industrial
site, to an inhabitable infrastructure for the
city, whilst tackling some of the many issues
which plagues the city. This is a counterthesis
to the American sprawl model of
growth, in hopes of giving back the land
to the environment instead of constantly
taking more.
