nature’s reflection on the patterned mirror exterior of the EDF archives center is a signal of the building
environmental considerations. a double concrete façade provides insulation for the 5 story building.
the building’s isolated location made it necessary to also implement a wastewater treatment system
to maintain a supply of fresh water. photovoltaic panels and hot air pump were added to make it
self-sufficient with regards to energy. these steps help this building have minimal environmental impact,
while the alluring façade only encourages a greater appreciation for the surrounding environment.
