Concept
Shape: The convention center's design, echoing the fluidity and elegance of frogs, integrates curved lines and organic forms. This creates a visually striking and dynamic structure, optimizing spatial flow and functionality for visitors in the urban environment.
Skin: The convention center's facade is influenced by the texture and patterns of frog skin, employing innovative materials like textured glass for a visually dynamic appearance that responds to light variations. This design not only adds aesthetic appeal but also offers functional benefits such as solar shading and rainwater management. Additionally, the flexibility and elasticity of frog skin inspire the use of adaptable building materials, ensuring structural resilience to environmental stresses while allowing for architectural creativity.
Function: In the convention center's design, the concept of utilizing anti-microbial properties found in frog skin informs the selection of materials for high-traffic areas like public restrooms and healthcare facilities. By incorporating surfaces with natural anti-microbial coatings, the aim is to foster a healthier indoor environment and mitigate the spread of pathogens among building occupants.
