OXFORD BROOKES : JHB AND CLERICI
INTRODUCTION
Environmental buildings are now becoming part of our future. After recently joining Oxford Brookes University I was able to see the beautiful architecture of each building. Which I believe is very important as it shows us how the university finds pride in its outward appearance . It does not only do that but also shows an environmental consideration they took into account. Today I'm only going to talk about two of the buildings which are the John Henry Building (JHB) and the Clerici.JHB
I personally really admired the glass that hung from the ceiling in the forum. It has a really beautiful shade of blue which attracts your eye.
It also has a large forum for students to sit in any of the tables or sofa to do their work, have a quick meal or both.
Another great thing is the environment friendliness that it has, such as the green roof which controls the flow of water and absorbs it (Building sustainability, n.d.).
Solar panels are also part of the sustainability for this buildings which supplies electricity to the building while also reduces 4% of the carbon emissions in the building (Building sustainability, n.d.).
CLERICI
This building is much smaller than the stairs towers above the study table, it’s a small annoyance but still manages to push my buttons. How does one sit comfortably at the end of this table with ceiling right above you?
Hope you found this post to be beneficial!
