ARUP and Arup Associates
Arup was founded in 1946 in London by the Danish engineer
and philosopher Sir Ove Arup. Today, we have over 10,000
people, operating in more than 90 offices.
We have operated in China for more than 30 years
across geographies
across all sizes
across all sectors
Learning from Nature
Beyond Carbon Zero
从大自然中学习
不止于零碳排放
Yes!
这是有可能的！
Can we imagine a self sufficient building in terms of
energy, water and resources, that does not produce
waste and that replenishes the resources used during
its lifetime?
想象一下如果建筑也可以在能源及资源利用上自给自足？既不会产生废物，又可以源源不断地自我补充。
Humans are
pioneers – but
where else can we
go on this planet?
人类是科技上的先驱，但我们将引领
着地球的未来走向何方？
No longer possible
to work to a
colonising strategy
(using without
replenishing)
长期以来单纯的殖民型资源策略（光消耗而不补充）已不可行。
Need to move from
weeds to forests.
需从“杂草模式”转为“森林模式”
We need to close
some loops. We
need to emulate
the natural
communities that
thrive without
consuming their
ecological capital.
我们需要形成一些循环，模拟自然界某些生态群体的生息方式——欣欣向荣，且不消耗生态资本
Everything is
powered by one
environmentally
friendly and
infinitely renewable
energy source: the
sun.
太阳能是一切能源之源，它既环保又可无限再生。
Everything in nature is recycled
自然界的一切都处于循环中
Buildings today are like weeds 现代建筑能源模式：杂草模式,单向消耗,排放过程
Buildings 40%
Transport 27%
Industry 33%

Enabling the students to fulfill their potential
Work with many different professionals, not only designers, as a sustainable solution is
always the fruit of a true multidisciplinary approach: material experts, ecologists,
sociologists, engineers, etc.
与各行各业的专业人士合作，例如材料专家、生态专家、社会学家和工程师等，而不仅仅是和设计师；可持续性解决方案终将是多学科共同研究得出的成果。
How can we designers help to close the cycle?
作为设计师，我们如何帮助形成这一循环？
Incorporate many different strategies; one strategy only will give you only a partial
benefit but will not achieve a sustainable building alone.
混合采用多种不同的策略；单一的策略只能带来有局限性的利益，而无法实现可持续性建筑的目标。
Don’t forget that architects and designers have a huge responsibility towards society.
别忘记建筑师和设计师对社会应负有的重要责任感。
Seek for flexible solutions that can be changed or adapted to future changes.
寻求灵活的解决方案，可适应未来的变化。
Look for win-win solutions, where a by-product of one process becomes the source for
another process.
寻求双赢的解决方案，其中某个过程的副产物可成为另一个过程的能源。
