Sustainable architecture – lessons from the ant
Termite mounds were the inspiration for an innovative design in sustainable living
The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only
one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little
humidity and rapid temperature swings days as warm as 31C commonly drop to 14C at night.
‘You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold
winters,’ architect Mick Pearce said. But then his eyes lit up at the challenge. ‘Perhaps you could
store the summer’s heat in winter somehow.’
The engineering firm of Ove Amp & Partners, which worked with him on the design,
monitors daily temperatures outside, under the floors and at knee, desk and ceiling level. Ove
Amp’s graphs show that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23C and
25C with the exception of the annual hot spell just before the summer rains in October, and three
days in November, when a janitor accidentally switched off the fans at night.
