NTU Architecture Subject Group
The Centre of Agricultural Innovation, Norwich
The Centre of Agricultural Innovation establishes a gateway building into the Norwich Research Park, introducing a collaborative environment for the community and research bodies, to exhibit and encourage the exploration of current and past research. Specifically, the centre hosts research into vertical farming: a concept that aids the reduction of land use whilst maximising production. The display of vertical farming through the Exhibition Hall’s double skin façade exploits the centre’s purpose, encouraging an intrigue within the community, whilst utilising natural light for crop growth. Research into daylighting system parametric optimisation aided the reduction of artificial lighting within the research laboratories.
