1) My project will be a mixed-use high rise building. 2) My project will be about a high rise building which provides commercial, residential, hotel, office, healthy center, fitness center and other functional facilities combined together to create the high efficient living and working environment for people who want modern and high speed lifestyle in a high density urban area. 3) My project will be developed because it will become a good solution to the high energy consumpted issue . After the development of the automobile industry, the urban area was extend quickly and people’s life was changing, people choose to live faraway from where they work depend on the cars and other public transportation. However, people have to face to the crisis of energy shortage issue nowadays which requires a solution that will reduce the use of fuel and a more efficient lifestyle. So a high concentrated and functional construction to cater for all needs in one building will meet this goal.
 * A mixed-use high rise building.**

1) My project will be a high rise office building 2) My project will be about to create an office building in a high density urban area, by using efficiently designed mechanical system, passive strategy, operatable façade system, self support energy production system and etc to build a zero energy consumption high rise for energy concerned people. 3) My project will be developed because high rise buildings use huge energy every year and these buildings affect the urban environment a lot. This project will combine all sustainable and ecological strategies as well as innovating technology to make the building self support and reduce the harmful affection to the environment to the limit.
 * A zero energy** **high rise building**

1) My project will be an elderly care center 2) My project will be about to build an elderly care center which provide the older population—persons 65 years or older the fulfillment of the special needs and requirements that are unique to them. 3) My project will be developed because stokeholds need, as the population of elder people grows quickly; most elders would prefer to continue to live in their own homes (aging in place). Unfortunately the majority of elderly people gradually loses functioning ability and requires either additional assistance in the home or a move to an eldercare facility. In this project, the design of the function, circulation, natural environment, specific facilities and etc will make response to the elder people’s special habit and behavior. This elderly care center would use latest Architectural technology and design concept to cater for individual’s need . .

 * A low energy consumption** **high rise building**

1) My project will be a low energy consumption high rise mix used building

2) My project will be about to create a mix used high rise building in a high density urban area, by using efficiently designed mechanical system, passive strategy, operatable façade system, self support energy production system and etc to build a low energy consumption high rise for energy concerned people.

3) My project will be developed because high rise buildings use huge energy every year and these buildings affect the urban environment a lot. This project will combine all sustainable and ecological strategies as well as innovating technology to make the building self support and reduce the harmful affection to the environment to the limit.

4) goals :

this idea is important because the building could reduce greenhouse-gas emissions attributed to surroundings to limit.

this project will reduce the consumption of energy and waste of construction material

this project will be successful by supplying from on-site generation is equal to (or greater than) the facility's demand.

5) goal:

To maintain relevance in a changing global economy

potential design response:

1 combine sustainable strategies and carefully designed mechanical system.

2 use passive strategy and operatable facade system as well as re-cycled construction materials.

3 on site wind energy and solar energy systems will be used to produce energy

4 innovate material, construction method will be adopted

5 the economic issue will be considered

Goals and response **this idea is important because the project will engage public communicating and activities in**

~in the commercial part, multiple public space which could promote the public activities will be create

~the urban context will be highly considered in order to make the building adapt to the site and lead public activities in

~ In the residential part, green space will be created to form communities


 * This project will be successful because it is an eco-friendly high rise building **

~this building will reduce energy consumption by using passive strategies and controllable façade system as well as effective mechanical system

~ The building could reduce greenhouse-gas emissions to surrounding to the limit.~this project will reduce the consumption of energy and waste of construction material~

~the building will be have self on-site energy generation, the energy produced is equal to (or more than) the facility's demand.

~innovate material, construction method and new technology will be adopted

**This project will be successful because it is an economical high rise**

~flexible functional proportions which could be changed according to need and future development

~the arrangement of program will base on the investigating on surrounding commercial utilities

~low price for construction and maintaining


 * Guiding principles **

Focused on sustainability

All decisions will be focused on the highly ecological performance of the building.

Accurate test

The performance of the ecological design need to be accurately calculated

Future development

The impact from existed or future developed buildings which beside the site should be highly considered

**stokeholds**

Owners

Have the authority of decision-making, owners’ value and expectation play an important role in the design, and sometimes owners lead the design.

Users

The success of this project largely depend on the achievement of users’ expectation

Contractors

The achievement of this project need the good cooperation among owners, designers and contractors, good contractors will guarantee the high quality of the project.
