Sydney Fish Market - Designed by @3xnarchitects "The new Sydney Fish Market will be the biggest in the world. While its key operation is industrial by nature, the ambition is to maintain focus on human scale and fine grain urban form within the city fabric. Sydney Fish Market is a project that is one of many examples of how 3XN and GXN's collaborational work feed each other: With 3XN's world-class design and GXN's strategic guidance for a human-centered design of a large scale building, the New Sydney Fish Market will be a critical component of the community: a catalyst for a strengthened relationship, both physically and through the identity, it offers to locals and visitors. The geometry of the Sydney Fish Market roof is developed through flow analysis and particle simulations to meet the contextual challenges a humid subtropical climate offers. The roof is one of the building's most important sustainability features providing daylighting, shading, and natural ventilation. The geometry also allows it to produce its own energy by incorporating photovoltaic cells, rainwater collection, and recycling. 3XN and GXN have worked closely to create a roofscape that refers to the surrounding water aesthetically 𝘢𝘯𝘥 pragmatically, tying all of the various program elements together in one elegant move. We believe that architecture shapes behavior. 3XN has carefully designed the framework for the specific kind of behaviour that is desirable in the new Sydney Fish Market in close collaboration with GXN." . ⭕ What do you think about this design and visualization? 🔻Tag your Architect Friends! . ❌Turn ON Post Notifications to see new Contents.❗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Follow @archdlofficial for more! 🖤 Tag #archdl and #archdlofficial or DM your works for Featuring! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #3xn #3xngxn #gxn #sydney #australia #architecture #architecturaldesign #design #sydneyfishmarket #fishmarket #market #3xnarchitects #3xnarchitecture #grid #parametricdesign #parametric #people #life #buildingdesign #planning #archilover #viral #humanscale #behaviouraldesign #behaviour (at Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAXsDZsJIe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Go-ahead for London Broadgate twin towers

Developer British Land has secured planning consent for the next major office scheme at the Broadgate development in London.

The 2 Finsbury Avenue (2FA) project consists of a large podium supporting a 37-storey East Tower and 22-storey West Tower.

It is the most ambitious phase to be brought forward in the ongoing redevelopment of the City of London office site and ranks as the third major office scheme to be granted planning by the City of London Corporation in recent weeks

Sir Robert McAlpine is expected to be the main contractor for the project having signed a framework deal with British Land to deliver the phased redevelopment of Broadgate several years ago.

Ground-breaking net-zero carbon office project is designed by Danish architect 3XN

The client professional team also includes Ramboll as structural and services engineer, with Gardiner & Theobald on board as project manager and FMDC, the facade consultant.

In line with British Land’s sustainability strategy, the building will target net-zero carbon in construction and operation as well as a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification.

To achieve this ambitious goal, a series of forward-thinking environmental initiatives will be incorporated.

Planned winter garden located on top of podium building at level 13 between east and west towers

To ensure flexibility for current and future needs, the offices have been co-designed with behavioural scientists from GXN and are interspersed with healthy, green areas and terraces.

Several large open glazed spaces are included within in the office design

A central element of the design is a new public route under the building that will extend Finsbury Avenue to create a new route from Eldon Street to Sun Street via Finsbury Avenue Square.

Chair of the Planning and Transportation Committee at the City of London Corporation, Alastair Moss, said: “The high-quality design for 2 Finsbury Avenue is yet another step in the radical transformation of Broadgate as a thriving and vibrant destination in the City.

“The developers have ensured sustainability remains at the core of the scheme and have embraced emerging trends for the post-pandemic world, including flexible and adaptable office space to address new ways of working.

“This is the third tall building application to be approved this year which shows that the fundamental strengths of the City remain unrivalled.”

The City Corporation’s Planning and Transportation Committee awarded planning permission to the proposal for 70 Gracechurch Street on 16 February and to the proposal for 55 Gracechurch Street on 26 January.

3XN designs modular hub for two robot developers in Denmark

3XN has unveiled its proposal for Cobot Hub, a collection of modular laboratories and offices for developing robots set to be built in Odense, Denmark.

Slated for completion in 2023, the 20,000-square-metre building has been designed as a shared space for robot developers Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots.

It is expected to become the world's largest hub for developing cobots – a type of robot designed to collaborate and share spaces with humans.

Above: Cobot Hub will take the form of a series of interlocking blocks. Top image: green roofs will help it blend in with its surroundings

Danish studio 3XN's proposal for Cobot Hub utilises a modular wooden frame, chosen as a nod to the process of combining various components to create robots.

This will also provide the companies with flexibility as the framework will be easily adapted, scaled up or down to meet Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots changing needs.

It will have a modular wooden structure that will be exposed in places

"We have worked closely with the users of the building since the beginning of the process, and we have conducted many interviews to outline what the new building needs to deliver," said Audun Opdal, senior partner at 3XN.

"A lot of different elements had to come together," continued Opdal. "The new building will house two independent companies that need everything from traditional office space to workshops, laboratories, and creative robot 'playrooms', where the robots of the future are developed."

3XN's proposal was the winning entry of a competition to design the hub, initiated to support the continual, rapid growth of the two companies.

According to the studio, Odense was chosen as the site for the scheme as this is widely regarded as the world's "cobot capital".

Glazing and atrium spaces will create transparency inside

Once complete, Cobot Hub will take the form of a series of interlocking, cubic blocks, to create a pixelated aesthetic.

However, it will be low-lying and topped by a series of green roofs to ensure the building blends in with the surrounding tree-lined landscape.

3XN chose to use timber for the building's structure in recognition of the material's sustainability credentials, including its recyclability and ability to store carbon.

It is the second recent proposal by the studio to utilise wood as a primary material, following a carbon-negative extension for a hotel on the island of Bornholm.

A shared courtyard will be used to unite the two companies

Inside, Cobot Hub will provide both companies with individual workspaces, including a mix of open-plan offices, common areas and amenity spaces.

At its heart will be a shared courtyard, designed as a space for employees from the two organisations to come together to socialise or collaborate.

Few details have been disclosed about the buildings interior design, but the timber structure will be exposed in places throughout. This feature is intended to improve indoor air quality and boost employee wellbeing.

Transparency will also be key, with large areas of glazing and atrium spaces dotted throughout to open up the building and enable employees to observe different work areas.

Copenhagen-based studio 3XN was established in 1986 by Kim Herforth Nielsen alongside Lars Frank Nielsen and Hans Peter Svendler Nielsen. Its sister company and innovation arm, GXN, was established in 2007.

Elsewhere, the studio is currently also developing the 2 Finsbury Avenue office complex in central London, UK, which includes a 35-storey skyscraper, and the meandering Shenzhen Natural History Museum that is intended to emulate the flow of rivers.

Three Danish companies, GXN Innovation, the research wing of 3XN; Map Architects and The Danish AM Hub, the additive manufacturer have collaborated to form an initiative named Break the Grid. According to Break the Grid, coastlines and buildings could be maintained by autonomous 3D printers that have the ability to fix problems. It has proposed that by making 3D printers which can move and act independently problems such as damaged infrastructures and erosion of coastlines can be tackled. The 3D printers are visioned to have the power to move across all three forms of physical communication, land, sea and air.

Kasper Jensen, GXN founder said that it could be a revolution if 3D printers would be “freed” for tackling the challenges. If 3D printing robots are made to crawl, fly and swim then environmental threats can be handled at much lower costs with increased efficiency.

For tackling three separate cases, the companies have developed three different concept designs. In all the situations, the environment is scanned autonomously by the robots and the problems are then identified for the implementation of solutions.

In one of the designs, the robot can move underwater and construct artificial reefs. This can protect the coastlines from erosion and also provide habitat to aquatic creatures. It would function by extruding a mixture of sand from the ocean floor and glue which is inspired by a natural adhesive produced by oysters. In the meantime, a six-legged robot would scan the cities for micro-cracks and repair them. By detecting them early, the damage could be fixed before water further creeps in causing corrosion.

The land-based robots are visioned to 3D print a porous filler with a mixture of Trichoderma reesei, promoting the formation of calcium carbonate which creates a self-healing material. It can also patrol the infrastructure in urban areas remotely.

Another concept is drones operated in the air which can detect the damages in old buildings and then swoop in to repair the damages. It is based on the research that thermal insulation can be built using a customized composite of polymers and glass. The team has already been working on modifying the existing 3D printers for building the prototypes.

Mads Kjøller Damkjær, CEO of Danish AM Hub said that new approaches to construction can be built using converging technologies. New possibilities can be visualized only by the change of current ways of thinking which needs a combination of technology and design. Recent 3D printing developments have involved a plan for the 3D printed village and a stage for dance performances built by ETH Zurich students.

The new Sydney Fish Market’s roof is an integral aspect of the fish market’s iconic design but also its overall sustainability strategy. Shaped to respond to the spatial demands of the program below, it also harvests rainwater for reuse, protects the retail spaces from the sun, and filters daylight for operations below. The unique form uses prevailing winds to extract hot air and protects the sellers from southerly winds. The canopy, made from timber and aluminium is designed to be as permeable as possible, minimising the need for conditioned air, while also deflecting the direct sun.
