Battery lifecycles involve manufacturing, usage, and afterlife phases. The dispersed global distribution of raw materials requires international cooperation in the supply chain, primarily relying on rail and sea transport.

The map displays gas and EV charging stations at intersections. Retrofitting these sites helps reduce reliance on oil vehicles and establishes an urban energy network, with former petrol stations transformed into new energy hubs.

Rotatable solar panels, or tracking solar panels, maximise energy collection by following the sun's movement. This dynamic orientation boosts electricity generation compared to fixed panels, making it effective year-round.

Using machine learning, it establishes spatial connectivity, merging living spaces with the energy system. Customised human spaces in regional hubs include interactive modules like gyms, cafes, play areas, fostering human-energy system interaction.

During the testing process, multiple results are generated. The final selection prioritises the option with the most missing function spaces. This choice aims to clarify the primary function of the building's human space.

The building features distinct circulation routes for vehicles, people, and energy, all of which operate collaboratively to support its functionality.

Transparent solar panels harvest energy for water electrolysis in the hydrogen production area, drawing from an underground tank. This yields both hydrogen and oxygen, which can generate power or be reversed to produce water.

This picture depicts our testing site in an old gas station lot. Distinct entrances for people and vehicles have been designed, following the original traffic flow without interference.

In the hub design, various components such as vehicles, entrances, factories, human spaces, and solar panels are assembled, each serving a unique function while collectively maximising energy efficiency.

As you explore the hub, the open ground floor highlights the intimate connection between energy and the city.

This image displays the energy bank, a space where residents can freely explore energy production and participate in various energy-related activities.

This image portrays a partial elevation with gradually ascending ramps, allowing access to different spaces above. Visitors are constantly immersed in the concept of energy throughout their tour and experience.

The isometric view of three different time periods illustrates the diverse manifestations of the energy centre. The city receives clean energy 24/7, alternating between various energy production methods.

Visualising energy production spaces brings people closer to the process and raises awareness about energy, fostering the development of a new urban culture.

Distributed modular energy storage systems enhance efficiency on urban and global scales, reducing costs and emissions for sustainability. Our project's goal is to make energy more visible in daily life, altering how we perceive and utilize it.
