建筑物的放置被仔细考虑，以尊重，维护和框架海登布特的看法，一个神圣的文化遗址，为土著美国人。在人口稠密的市中心提供各种交通选择，提供食品、零售和服务设施，提高用户的舒适度、健康和安全，这一理念导致了一种与人造环境相结合的设施，同时包含了经济、社会和环境可持续性的目标。铺路材料反映了山区的颜色，适应了沙漠，本土植物调色板补充了现有景观。新设计的过境掩蔽所承认，需要垂直遮阳板在沙漠西南部。藤蔓的支持，以加强通风和冷却空气，而半透明的玻璃面板提供深阴影和转移雨水。宽阔的树冠树荫树在取水、调水、冷却铺路、减少城市热岛效应的同时，将逐渐成熟，以缓解阳光照射。

Building placement was carefully considered to respect, maintain and frame views of Hayden Butte, a sacred cultural site for Native Americans. The concept of providing a variety of transportation options in the dense downtown, with food, retail and service amenities enhancing user comfort, health and safety led to a facility that integrates with the man-made environment while encompassing goals of economic, social and environmental sustainability. Paving materials reflect the color of the mountain and the desert adapted and native plant palette complements the existing landscape. The new design of the transit shelters acknowledges the need for vertical shade panels in the desert Southwest. Vines are supported to enhance ventilation and cool the air, while translucent glass panels provide deep shade and divert rain. Broad canopy shade trees will mature to provide relief from the sun while collecting and redirecting water, cooling the paving and reducing the urban heat island effect.

建筑性能图

开发了高性能建筑围护结构和集成系统，并对其进行了计算机建模测试，使能耗降低了52%。这在一定程度上是通过太阳面纱来实现的，它可以保护东方的钢铁和从黎明到中午的玻璃，以防止早晨的热量增加。松散的织物屏幕被部署在黎明和收回中午，可以手动调整从内部通过遥控。遮阳在强风中自动收缩，响应安装在屋顶上的传感器。太阳能电池板为建筑物提供热水，并为今后在屋顶上安装光伏电池板提供了管道。

The high-performance building envelope and integrated systems were developed and tested with computer modeling, resulting in a 52% reduction of energy use. This is accomplished in part with a solar veil that protects the east facing steel and glazing from dawn to noon to prevent morning heat gain. The loose weave fabric screens are deployed at daybreak and retracted at noon and can be manually adjusted from the interior by remote control. The shades automatically retract during high winds, responding to roof mounted sensors. Solar panels provide hot water to the building, and conduit is in place for future installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof.

这一三角形城市场地的复杂性构成了一个设计挑战，迫使研究多个规划互动。导致重建的警察港口(进入低级监狱)的安全标准，限制西面砖墙的窗户，影响外部照明水平，并修改建筑物的通道。该物业复杂的自然坡度需要敏感的执行，以管理公共汽车转弯运动、排水和用户可达性。在人口稠密的市中心提供各种交通选择，提供食品、零售和服务设施，提高用户的舒适度、健康和安全，这一概念导致了一种与人造环境相结合的设施，同时包含了经济、社会和环境可持续性的目标。运营和维护大楼需要教育，并促使个人质疑阻碍环境保护的程序和政策。

The complexities of this triangular urban site make for a design challenge that forces the study of multiple programed interactions. Leading to a security criteria for the reconstructed Police sallyport (accessing the below-grade jail), restricting windows in the west-facing masonry wall, impacting exterior lighting levels, and modified building access. The complex natural slope of the property required sensitive execution to manage bus turning movements, drainage and user accessibility. The concept of providing a variety of transportation options in the dense downtown, with food, retail and service amenities enhancing user comfort, health and safety led to a facility that integrates with the man-made environment while encompassing goals of economic, social and environmental sustainability. Operating and maintaining the building requires education and prompts individuals to question procedures and policies that impede environmental preservation.
