BUILDING DESIGN
O p e n n e s s
More apparent in Phase 2 of the Belum Rainforest Resort
Used mainly as transition spaces
The use of perforated steel plates further emphasize this idea
Allows for vegetation to grow without disruption
Creepers grow on the walls of the Rainforest Villas
Embrace nature through intimacy
Reduces the need to cut down vegetation unnecessarily

MATERIALS
Bamboo was used as roofing and wall structures of Phase 1
The bamboos can be found on site and therefore emphasizes the idea of give and take
Somah Wood Saplings were used as screening devices in Phase 1
The somah wood plants can be found throughout Belum Rainforest Resort
Rammed earth was used as screening walls in Phase 2
The rammed earth was composed of earth that was excavated on site during construction mixed
with a little bit of cement

INTERDEPENDENCY
The principle of interdependency states that an
ecologically sustainable building always has the
resources to maintain the building and is dependent on
the input of resources that could be renewed for future
building developments.
The use of natural materials in the Belum Rainforest
Resort such as the golden bamboo, somah wood
saplings and rammed earth highlights this theory. All
the materials are available on site and are renewable
and recyclable.

THERMODYNAMICS
The principle of thermodynamics states that buildings
should consume resources no faster than the rate they
should replenish. Besides that, buildings are to create
systems that consume maximum energy-quality. Finally,
buildings should create and use by-products that arenutrients or raw materials for resource production.
The presence of transition pocket spaces and the idea
of openness allows for natural ventilation and
daylighting to occur. This emphasizes the idea of
consuming maximum energy-quality systems.

CHANGE
The principle of change states that buildings shouldallow for easy access to fast cycling materials without
destroying slow cycling materials. Besides that,
buildings should be designed for deconstruction and
should allow the natural environment to adapt to the
presence of the building while minimizing the
ecological impact.
A majority of the buildings faade uses fast cycling
materials which allows for easy deconstruction and
recycling. This can be seen especially in Phase 2
where the somah wood saplings are used as screening
devices. The clustered building typology allows for the
building to adapt to the environment and vice versa.
The plants grow together with the building instead of
growing around it. This can be seen in Phase 2 of theBelum Rainforest Resort.
