Intelligence in the cyber egg
The Cybertecture Egg illustrates what
happens when the worlds of intelligent
technology and architecture collide. The
33,000
m
2
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.
Process water is recycled and then topped
up with harvested rainwater. The intelli-
gent 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 Cybertec-
ture 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.
