Sustainability in 4 Dimensions

 
 

The 4D is a demonstration project with the ambition of being (one of) the most sustainable buildings in the world. The objective is a very low energy consumption, but not at the expense of other environmental factors.
 

The project scope is 28,000 m2 of which two thirds are offices, institutions and shops, and one third is flats.

The project proposal has been selected after a project competition by invitation, which included four teams of architects and consulting engineers specialised in sustainability.

Sustainability in 4 dimensions 
- the Building and the Concept

 

 

The 4 dimensions of sustainability

Enviromental

  Climate has top priority - with respect for other environmental factors.
     

Functional

  The building must be a good place to live in and to work in.
     

Commercial

 

The environmental impact is much stronger if it pays.

     

Architechtural

 

Good architecture lasts - and a long lifetime is sustainable.
