THE ARRIVAL OF THE GENESIS CENTRE IS A MAJOR MILESTONE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

摘要

A revolutionary new learning and resource centre, designed by leading sustainability architects Architype for Somerset College of Arts and Technology, has recently opened. The purpose of the new Genesis Centre is to showcase a variety of techniques and materials for sustainable construction, by using them to construct the Centre and exposing them to view. The building, which is a fully-functioning conference centre, also demonstrates how sustainable materials and construction methods, including traditional methods and materials, can be used to create bold contemporary architecture. The Genesis Centre is a striking architectural statement which can be appreciated without reference to its construction.
