I'll be sharing pictures of a structure, not just because of it's architectural design, but because of the science-physics and art behind it (at least from my own understanding)

ST-BUILDING CYPRUS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, NICOSIA, TRNC

The structure looks like a bat-mobile...loool

  • The roof is made at an angle that faces the sun; from it's rising to when it's about to set.
  • the glass are actually solar panels, so apparently the angle is so that it accommodates the average daily sunshine hours.
  • also the glass are double-glazed (from my observation)...to reduce heat loss during cold seasons I.e. Keep the inside warm.

Now the back is built in a way it looks like vents, or wind breakers...

  • I guess this is to allow for the movement of air towards the building
  • I should find out
