STUDIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL SYMBIOSIS TECHNOLOGY FOR URBAN BUILDING STOCK RENEWAL : Part 1 Design concepts and integration of environmental symbiosis technologies in the renewal project of Osawa memorial institute of architectural environmental engineering building(Architectural Planning and Design)

Abstract

This thesis studies the environmental symbiosis technologies, which are applied to refurbishment and improvement of small-to-medium size old urban building stocks. The study was examined through the renewal project of a 36-year-old laboratory building of Kanto-Gakuin University. Part one explains the design concepts and the integration of various symbiosis technologies in this project. The unit devices of the symbiosis technologies are strategically placed on the building surface to realize architectural integration.
