Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum opened in May - exploring the power of science and the technological advancements defining our future. Adjacent to #Shenzhen Metro’s Guangming Station, the museum is the anchor of the city’s new Science Park, its volume stretching into the park and transforming into a sequence of outdoor terraces that serve as extensions of the museum’s interior galleries which surround its central atrium. With permanent & temporary exhibition halls, immersive theatres & cinemas, as well as research labs, educational facilities & innovation centre, the museum also includes visitor amenities, storage & workshops. The atrium’s multiple perspectives provide a thrilling launching point for every visitor’s journey of discovery. With its large, glazed wall facing the park, the atrium blurs the boundary between inside & out; inviting natural light & landscapes — as well as our boundless curiosity — into the heart of the building. Guided by passive environmental strategies, the design process employed computer simulations to test the building’s form, spaces and envelope for optimal performance within Shenzhen’s subtropical climate. The building’s orientation minimises solar heat gain. Mitigating direct exposure to the elements, stainless-steel panels create a ventilated cavity between the façade and the external walls. This system extends to the roof, which also incorporates photovoltaics. The 128,276 sq. m museum’s passive design elements combined with smart management networks operating high-efficiency systems are projected to reduce the building’s comprehensive energy consumption to 15.47 kgce/sqm per year, with a subsequent reduction in emissions achieved by lowering the museum’s operational electricity demand to an estimated 125.89 kWh/sqm a year. The museum’s procurement targeted 389,238.92 tonnes of recyclable materials, while grey-water recycling in addition to the collection and storage of rainwater will reduce overall water consumption to an estimated 14,906 cubic metres per year.
