ECO Friendly Architecture: Assignment - 4

The 72 Screens building in Jaipur, India is a 6-level commercial office complex designed by architect Sanjay Puri to be eco-friendly. It is enveloped in abstractly folded planes of perforated screens called GRC screens, which are made of glass fiber reinforced concrete and supported by a steel framework. These screens reduce heat gain and create a sculptural presence while also allowing airflow and diffuse sunlight to enter interior spaces.
