At Payette, we are passionate about many things, including sustainability. We are working diligently to reduce operational and embodied carbon in our laboratory and healthcare projects, which are some of the most energy intensive building typologies. And we strive to prove that beautiful, net-zero buildings are achievable for all building types.
Andrea Love, our Director of Building Science, reflects on the role of building scientists in our practice and what the future looks like for reducing carbon in our buildings.
We`re wrapping up World Landscape Architecture Month with a peak into the design of the XiangYa Fifth Hospital at Central South University.
The XiangYa Fifth Hospital will provide a new world class model for the delivery of healthcare in China, accommodating over 100,000 patients a day and housing over 2,500 patient rooms. Nature is further embedded into the superstructure through gardens, courtyards, roof terraces, light monitors and generous windows that provide abundant natural light and frame views of the natural setting surrounding the building.
