Mixed-used commercial complex. 
Concept design

The new Commodities Market to be placed in proximity to the new EXPO 2020 site. My part of the project was to design the atrium zone between commercial blocks.
Taking into consideration the climatic characteristics of the territory, I proposed to put photovoltaic panels on the roof, cover the whole atrium building by active double-skin facade, protecting the space inside.
Because of the high probability of sandstorms I inclined the roof windows, to provide natural air circulation during the night, defending the roof from overloading by sand during sandstorms and giving more effective angle of inclination for photovoltaic panels above the roof glazing. These panels should also help to create the shade inside of the atrium during the day. Widely standing atrium columns should provide the feeling of space inside and the system of pulls should stabilize all metal structural system.
