The Cybertecture Egg illustrates what
happens when the worlds of intelligent
technology and architecture collide.
The 33,000 m2 office building in
Mumbai, India, is a well thought out
cosmos for an innovative working
environment. A sky garden provides
shade and natural cooling and is used
for water treatment. Processed water is
recycled and then topped up with
harvested rainwater. The intelligent
glass façade with integrated photo
voltaic modules supplies energy and
at the same time, controls the amount
of incident solar radiation. The interior
lighting is controlled on the basis of
weather data. A cooling water reservoir
located deep underground supports the
air conditioning systems of the
Cybertecture Egg. The individual systems
are controlled and coordinated by
intelligent building management
systems. The health of employees is also
taken care of. In the bathrooms,
“Cybertecture Health” checks employees’
vital functions such as the blood pressure
and calls the doctor in case of an
emergency.
