Madhura made it clear to us that in our climate, building with glass is actually very much possible. The only thing is we need to follow to some ideas. Whenever he designs a glass building, he tries to keep its volume small and slim. This is to facilitate better cross ventilation and easier natural lighting of spaces. This in return helps reduce the cost to heat or cool the building and thus helps the environment. Besides that, the most important thing that he mentioned was to have are trees! He repeated this several times in his speech till the first thing that came to my mind was UCSI North Wing. The architect (if he was even one) that designed this campus obviously did not take into consideration of the intensity of the sun as though this building was in some cold country. There really isn’t much trees within UCSI to start off with. The trees at the car park are miserably small as well as the trees around UCSI. In the end, shading devices such as blinds and nettings had to be places around the university. Well we could all learn from mistakes.
