Urban Screens

Shaping Light & Energy

Schematic Design, 2023

A WEI+ZKA Project

Urban Screens addresses the need for energy-efficient high-rise design in fast-growing urban centers. Located in Optics Valley Central City, this project balances the demands of urban density with ecological design solutions. In a context where development often favors expansion over environmental impact, Urban Screens demonstrates how high-rise buildings can enrich urban life through resource-efficient systems, enhanced microclimates, and thoughtfully integrated landscape elements.
