Glad to see Bloomberg do this on a whim, had no legal reason to either. We need more leading by example regarding modular self sustaining infrastructure. Makes for excellent load balancing and redundancy.
It is interesting the contrast between geometric and organic design elements. The ceiling is amazing and a highlight of the building!
We completely agree!
It is beautiful
Are you kidding me? "This is the worlds most sustainable building" , "In fact, this is the worlds most sustainable building", "according to *** this is the worlds most sustainable building"
I love the b1m videos
I'mma in love with that STAIRCASE !!!!!!
I ask again that you guys make a video about CityPlace (Rosemary Square West Palm Beach) and the impact that it had on urban master planning
Great video.
I'm also second commenter!
Thank you!! ✊️✊️
Great work, but I don't understand how so many LED lights in obviously bespoke suspended panels can be considered sustainable. Yes, they use much lower electricity consumption than a regular light but the entire design seems overly sophisticated making it more expensive than the amount of energy a conventional light will consume. Instead of making sustainable solutions cheaper more available and preferred option these look more like a one off. The same goes for the massive staircase 'flying' in the air. Very pleasing for the eye, indeed but for the cost of some merely £1 bn
What about all resources that are used to construct the building?
What about making a beautiful looking building, as in a Grand Victorian Gothic style. I'm 50 years old now and haven't seen one building in my lifetime, that looks as good as something from100 years back.
I kind of agree, but we have to find a way to make traditional architecture more sustainable.
I think that the word "sustainable" has been a tad overused.
The gray water and rainwater recycling is interesting, especially if I understand correctly that the building uses evaporative cooling. But 35% saving on energy use does not sound as that much. Are the designers sure that local energy production from natural gas is better then using Britain's abundant wind power?
The building sure is nice, but its sustainability status is also exploiting a whole lot of loophooles and omissions in the BREEAM standard to get its high rating. BREEAM doesn't include embodied energy, for instance, which is why they can get away with shipping in materials from all over the world. Burning natural gas is hardly the pinnacle of sustainability either, but it gets a ton of points for being better than the grid average - that's not saying it couldn't have been even better. There are also ways to go for energy use during construction.
All that being said ... this is a BIG building, while the buildings that score even higher in terms of sustainability tend to be small technology demonstrators. It is impressive that the Bloomberg campus managed to implement all those solutions in a building that big. It is certainly a good attempt that hopefully sets the bar for other projects of its size in the future.
Patelline design
wait-is this the most sustainable building in the world? can you say it one more time?
The building itself may be sustainable, but the materials, sources and shipped around the world for processing accumulated a huge carbon footprint that should be balanced against it. How many years will the savings verses other Platinum building take to work-off the CO2 burden construction created?
where's FRED he's zaddy af
Xerox quantum beyond the sunset
Have fun with maintenance and repair
Why no green roof i wonder?
Is making everything "green" the thing to do these days or something?
It was a hot topic in the UK construction sector around 2006-2010. Now there’s quite a sensible focus on sustainable building development - especially as the impacts of climate change become increasingly understood.
I also used to see it as a sort of trend even though i understood about climate change (heck i remember that i used to hate "being green" bc i was tired of it), but in the 2-3 years of architecture school and exploring myself the world of construction and sustainability i've noticed just how poorly designed so so many things are it's incredible.. the amount of waste and materials that go into a small building sometimes seem infinite, to have it not exist at its full potencial is just sad.
Today i consider "being green" as a norm and I see it more as an important step foward in the evolution of construction/planning/desing. Biological systems by nature are very complex and sophisticated and until we master productive construction building will continue to be increasingly complex. However I'm hopefull that in the future nature and industry may not look very different.
Yes, Sara, it's 'something.' Check out LEED certification.
As climate change poses huge problems to earth (and the construction sector, specifically,) there is a need for sustainability in architecture and building. So yes, it is a much-needed "thing."
Because anybody with a brain understood that paying less for electricity each month is a good thing. Just saying.
Pretty sure it’s impossible to build anything that’s the greenest in the world in the middle of London. There are offices in the countryside that are fully solar powered and compost their waste, and get water from nearby mountain streams.
So a pretty brown box in London isn’t as green is it.
“According to BREEAM - the world’s most widely used method for evaluating and certifying the environmental impact of the built environment - this is the most sustainable commercial building ever built. BREEAM gave the building an "Outstanding" rating, scoring it at 98.5% against its criteria; the highest design-stage BREEAM score ever achieved by a major office development.”
But does it have to be this ugly?
Apparently it's a modern requirement.
There's too many building in London that look like that now.
Operating your own fossil fuel powered generator is hardly sustainable. How does Council House 2 in Melbourne stack up by comparison?
too bad i hate open offices
Everything but green. Shame...
Sustainable... and nonsensical?
How can anything be called "green" and "sustainable" when it (a) contains a gas power plant, and (b) has such vast open spaces as to make it impossible to heat/cool the place? I work in a 6 story office building with an open atrium; that means all the heat is on the 6th floor, and all the cold is on the 1st. The engineer in me wants to execute architects that design this crap.
But why is it so ugly ???
It's not your face. Stop calling it that.
London losing alot of business. Why build this building, is it for the homeless.
Renaldo Smith 😂 what??
Pardon? as this building will never not be occupied as it is owned outright by Bloomberg and has Food & Beverage at its base, mithraeum and a concourse for Bank tube station.
