Progetto: Jeffrey Elementary School

Architetto: Frank Gehry

Data di inizio e fine progetto: 1990-2123

Luogo: via Quadronno, 7, Milano

Nazione: Italia

Descrizione di progetto (min. 2000-max 3000 battute)

Descrizione oggettiva: dati di progetto: tipologia di edificio, mq totali, area


etc.; informazioni di contesto (topografia, clima, background storico);
storia/background/evoluzione del design di progetto; elementi chiave:
distribuzione dei locali in pianta e caratteri funzionali, struttura (fondazioni,
muri, tetto, dettagli), tecnologia, tempi di costruzione e
costi, materiali, descrizione dei prospetti e delle sezioni, elementi e scelte di
carattere estetico etc.
Several years of local studies, and materials in archives in India and the UK,
have made it possible for Dr Guerrieri to construct a satisfying and original
picture of the process which (from post- colonization, to Partition and the
building of the new India) has brought to life one of the major metropolises of
the new millennium. The history of India in those years of profound
transformation is important for the world as a whole; and Delhi provides an
example of particular relevance.!
However, it is not only in this perspective that the study is interesting.
Negotiating Cultures contributes to a very significant degree to the debate
around the relationships between cultures and the consequent processes of
transformation of cities. It is currently evident that the cross-fertilization no
longer operates solely in one direction, from north to south but also from south
to north and from south to south. New research is imperative to capture this
perspective.
The book has been written at a particularly complex, and contradictory time in
the contemporary world. It appears that Western countries are uncertain and
no longer have faith in their future. They are beset with nationalist revivals,
regrets regarding the power they have lost, isolationism, new pressures to
exclude ‘others’. India increasingly faces great difficulties in performing its role
as a key player in the world scenario. It aspires to be a catalyst in
experimentation and a reference point for the technological innovations and
changes it is bringing about, but at the same time it is deeply rooted to its
cultural traditions. Élites in the country are extremely dynamic and capable but
! 2

also carry the burden of a deeply unequal society, marked by excessive


privilege. It has large cities in a state of continuing development, while at the
same time small centres are in the process being increasingly ignored. It
experiences new forms of economic and social development, which are
however still characterized by economic and political systems that have their
origins in other societies and cultures.

Descrizione critica di progetto (min. 4000-max 5000 battute)

Descrizione che introduce delle valutazioni più soggettive: come il progetto si


relaziona rispetto al contesto specifico e ai caratteri dell’architettura locale,
quali elementi l’architetto ha utilizzato per ricollegarsi o meno all’ambiente,
come l’architetto interpreta il luogo e i suoi caratteri, come il progetto si pone
rispetto alla popolazione locale e ai suoi bisogni, quali sono i caratteri
innovativi e più interessanti etc.

experiences new forms of economic and social development, which are
however still characterized by economic and political systems that have their

anticipating for readers what Dr Pilar Guerrieri’s Negotiating Cultures: Delhi
Architecture and Planning from 1912 - 1962 has to say, there is no doubt that
this is an important book. It, with its innovative approaches and comprehensive
referencing, analyses events in Delhi at a particularly relevant juncture in recent
Indian history. Several years of local studies, and materials in archives in India

Progetto: D House
Architetto: Donovan Hill
Data di inizio e fine progetto: 1998 - 2000
Luogo: 215A Harcourt Street, New Farm, Brisbane
Nazione: Queensland, Australia

Descrizione di progetto

La villa unifamiliare presa in esame presenta un solo piano fuori terra ed è situata presso New Farm: un quartiere
di Brisbane, in Australia.
L’edificio insiste su un piccolo lotto rettangolare di 25 per 15 metri che occupa interamente ed è contraddistinto
da una forma rettangolare scatolare caratterizzata da linee pulite e rette.
Si presenta come un volume unico, che non appare essere direttamente relazionato con il contesto in cui è
inserito; infatti non si individuano particolari allineamenti con i fabbricati presenti e, al contempo, non è
possibile sottolineare, una somiglianza formale con gli edifici che lo circondano: né per quanto riguarda la sua
posizione nel lotto, né per le dimensioni e le proporzioni dei suoi elementi costitutivi, né tantomeno è possibile
individuare delle somiglianze relativamente alle scelte estetiche operate dai progettisti.
E’ necessario però puntualizzare il fatto che l’edificio in esame si presenta come una rielaborazione
contemporanea dei caratteri propri delle abitazioni che popolano il suo contesto; pertanto i riferimenti allo
stesso, devono essere ricercati non sul piano formale, ma piuttosto sul piano concettuale, pertanto saranno
trattati in seguito.
Per quanto riguarda la tecnica costruttiva, i progettisti Donovan e Timothy Hill, si rifanno ai metodi di edificazione
moderni, impiegando blocchi di cemento legati da malta e intonacati all'esterno con un conglomerato
cementizio grigio a grana consistente, e all'interno con un intonaco bianco liscio. Il tetto piano è costituito da
una struttura lignea.
In merito all'articolazione interna dello spazio, è possibile asserire che essa si presenta come organica e
controllata attraverso un’accurata progettazione della proporzione degli spazi e un minuzioso disegno della loro
successione e compenetrazione.
All’interno si individuano due aree principali: una privata e l'altra pubblica; La prima è composta da 2 camere
da letto speculari e della stessa dimensione tra le quali si inseriscono alcuni locali deputati a servizio: un bagno,
una lavanderia e un locale armadio.
L’area pubblica dell'edificio presenta invece un'articolazione più complessa dello spazio, che ad una prima vista
in pianta può apparire come unitario ma che, a seguito di un’ osservazione più attenta, dimostra una
conformazione composita e allo stesso tempo flessibile: una grande veranda costituita da una molteplicità di
aree, dotate di funzioni differenti, che all’occorrenza possono trasformarsi in veri e propri spazi tramite l’utilizzo
di diaframmi vetrati, ottenendo in questo modo uno spazio living ai lati del quale si innestano due patii: il primo
accoglie il visitatore dall'esterno, il secondo funge da contraltare e da piccolo giardino privato dell’abitazione.
All'interno del Living è presente una zona cucina che rappresenta un’ appendice di questo spazio centrale della
casa. Essa si presenta composta di una serie di murature di altezza 2 metri, che si configurano come una barriera
2

alla vista. Queste murature, tagliate selettivamente solo in alcuni punti, rendono possibile l’accesso alla porzione
più privata e riservata dell'edificio.
Per quanto riguarda i prospetti essi non presentano particolari accorgimenti estetici. Come evidenziato in
precedenza sono rivestiti da un conglomerato cementizio a granula consistente, che rende l'esterno ruvido
conferendogli una connotazione solida e resistente.
Tutte le grandi aperture finestrate sono provviste di un diaframma composto da lamelle di legno che inibisce la
vista dall'esterno verso l'interno ma che consentono la ventilazione naturale dell'edificio e la protezione
dall’irraggiamento solare.
Un ultimo elemento rilevante è l'attenzione al dettaglio nei confronti dell'arredamento dello spazio interno. Esso
è Infatti progettato ad hoc per l’edificio dagli stessi architetti assieme al committente per enfatizzare la qualità di
ciascuno degli ambienti interni ed esterni.

Descrizione critica di progetto

L'elemento più interessante da sottolineare a fondamento di questa descrizione critica che ci si appresta di
seguito a delineare, è l’immagine di continua Transizione di cui il progetto diviene manifesto.
Si intende per Transizione il continuo e inarrestabile passaggio da una situazione ad una nuova e diversa dalla
precedente.
È proprio su questa definizione che i progettisti e il committente si interrogano e pongono la loro attenzione.
L'idea è che attraverso lo studio della proporzione, attraverso linee pulite, attraverso chiarezza formale, l’utilizzo
di materiali ben precisi per delineare la dimensione di ciascun ambiente, continui e ben studiati riferimenti
concettuali al contesto che ospita l'edificio, sia possibile rendere concreta e visibile la continua ed inarrestabile
situazione di transizione che caratterizza la vita dell’uomo e di ciò che lo circonda anche e soprattutto per quanto
riguarda la propria casa.

Con questo non si intende affermare che l’edificio si configura come un elemento dinamico capace cioè di
mutare istantaneamente la sua forma in base alle esigenze dei suoi abitanti; piuttosto, si desidera in questo
caso, puntare l’attenzione sul fatto che l’edificio per sua natura formale, rende possibile a chi ne sta usufruendo,
una differente percezione del processo di Transizione nello spazio e nel tempo, non più come un processo
incontrollabile, ma come la naturale progressione della vita umana, fornendo all’abitante o al visitatore, una
serie di strumenti per poterlo controllare.

Il tema della transizione rintracciabile nel progetto può essere esaminato in primo luogo rispetto alle diverse
percezioni che di esso si ha dall’esterno. Inizialmente esso appare come distaccato dal suo contesto, racchiuso
all’interno del suo diaframma opaco. Tuttavia la presenza delle grandi aperture finestrate, che all’occorrenza
possono essere completamente aperte, quasi a creare un link diretto tra ambiente esterno ed interno, permette
una rottura radicale di questa apparente assenza di relazione.
La natura stessa dell'edificio modifica dunque il rapporto che esso intesse con il suo contesto: ciò che accade
all'interno è visibile all’esterno e viceversa, ciò che si manifesta all’esterno, influenza la vita all’interno
3

dell’abitazione. In questo modo si genera una relazione biunivoca tra le parti. Interno ed esterno, pubblico e
privato si fondono e si compenetrano definendosi e modellandosi l'un l'altro contemporaneamente.

Differente è invece il processo di Transizione che investe l'ospite o l'abitante che si accinge a relazionarsi con
l’interno dell'edificio.
Come precedentemente descritto, esso è composto da una successione armonica e ben proporzionata di spazi
caratterizzati da dimensioni, articolazioni e funzioni differenti. Man mano che prosegue il suo percorso
all'interno dell'edificio il visitatore perde il contatto con l'esterno attraversando spazi che -seppur aperti perché
definibili come patii- non gli consentono la vista dell’esterno, e anzi generano all'interno dell'edificio un clima
accogliente, distaccato e indipendente dal contesto esterno. Ciò apparentemente contrasta con l’affermazione
precedente. Il continuo scambio tra interno ed esterno, sembra non manifestarsi. Ma ad una più attenta analisi,
si comprende che questa non è altro che un’ulteriore sfaccettatura del processo di Transizione di cui l’edificio è
immagine. Infatti essa, essendo biunivoca, ammette anche il distacco dall’esterno e dalla sua influenza, al fine
di consentire l’entrata in un ambiente protetto e sicuro, in modo da poter poi nuovamente rivolgersi verso
l’esterno, riavviando il contatto biunivoco da una posizione nuova e differente.
Spingendosi ancora verso l’interno dell’edificio, è possibile comprendere come il grande ambiente coperto che
accoglie chi sta entrando, possa essere facilmente tripartito in un living centrale e in due patii che lo cingono e
ne delimitano l’estensione. Il processo di Transizione dunque, assume anche un ruolo pratico. Permette
all’edificio di adattare i propri spazi relativamente alle necessità dei suoi abitanti, rendendosi permeabile o
impermeabile al passaggio.
Ed è proprio all’interno del living che si concretizza in modo inequivocabile il processo di Transizione. E’ infatti
da questo ambiente che trae origine il processo di comunicazione biunivoca interno esterno, che si manifesta
attraverso la grande apertura finestrata verso la strada. E’ dunque da qui che il visitatore o l’abitante può entrare
a far parte di quel processo di continua trasformazione di cui la propria abitazione è motore. Ma non solo. E’
infatti solo attraverso questo ambiente, che è possibile accedere all’ala più riservata e introversa dell’edificio: la
zona notte. Per farlo, è necessario superare un filtro, non solo visivo, ma piuttosto fisico: ovvero la zona cucina.
Essa si configura esattamente come una barriera che permette fisicamente di dividere le due componenti
principali dell’edificio, e di rendere manifesto, concreto e visibile il processo di Transizione (E’ necessario passare
attraverso questo filtro), precedentemente solo accennato e suggerito in modo formale e nel metodo dispositivo
degli elementi nello spazio tridimensionale.

A conclusione di questa breve descrizione critica che vuole porre l’attenzione solo su alcuni elementi di un
quadro molto più complesso e sfaccettato, si comprende come questo edificio si presenti come uno straordinario
esempio di architettura che non solo risponde ai bisogni di sicurezza di chi la sta identificando come casa, ma
piuttosto, è in grado di mettere in discussione e rielaborare l’idea stessa di abitazione, identificandola non più
come un elemento isolato e distaccato dal contesto, ma piuttosto come un elemento singolo e ben caratterizzato,
che basa però la sua stessa esistenza sulla stretta e biunivoca relazione con il proprio contesto fisico, storico e
percettivo.

The Walls - The Gates

I setti di muratura di colore bianco che celano la zona cucina, assumono un valore
fondamentale all’interno dell’organizzazione spaziale dell’edificio.
Essi si configurano infatti come un diaframma, una barriera selettivamente
permeabile alla vista, chedivide però fisicamente la zona pubblica dalla zona privata
dell’edificio.

E’ interesante osservare che solo attraverso i gates che vengono ad aprirsi presso le
ripiegature di questi setti sia possibile raggiungere i servizi e la zona notte.

Essi celano la zona cucina, che si qualifica contemporaneamente come pilastro


fondamentale dell’edificio attorno a cui la vita interna ruota, e come elemento di
passaggio, quasi a volerne sottolineare nuovamente l’importanza.

Introduction

Junya Ishigami ( Ishigami Jun’ya) is a Japanese architect born in Kanagawa


prefecture in 1974. He is one of the innovative voices in contemporary design. Formerly
of the architecture firm SANAA, Ishigami established his own practice in 2004.
He acquired his master’s degree in architecture and planning at Tokyo National
University of Fine Arts and Music in 2000. Ishigami worked with Kazuyo Sejima from
2000 to 2004 at SANAA, before establishing his own firm in 2004:
junya.ishigami+associates.

Junya has no intent on following conventional form and function, instead, he rather we
all see the city with a new type of filter or imagination, a broader range of influences
The architect's role is to create a new system

Architecture had traditionally abided by a formal code of creativity, based on the


conservative demands of its clients. Junya Ishigami wants to do with away with all that,
he represents a new breed of architect disinterested in how big and how high a building
is but more the abstract influence it takes from nature.

He uses the soil of the very building site as a mold for a concrete structure (House and
Restaurant, Yamaguchi, Japan); he transplants an entire forest destined to be felled in
order to compose a dreamlike landscape dotted with trees and ponds (Art Biofarm,
Tochigi, Japan); and he designs the extension of a museum from underneath, by unveiling
and enlarging its foundations (Moscow Polytechnic Museum, Russia). Junya Ishigami is
the author of a work imbued with poetry and simplicity, behind which lie real technical
challenges, put at the service of an exploration of human’s place within the architectural
construct. The density with which the plants are set is carefully calibrated so that the
space created by the architecture and the notion of “ambiguity” plays a central part in
Ishigami’s work

He’s approach known for an explorative and conceptual approach to architecture,


Japanese architect Junya Ishigami presents his global projects and ideas as unimaginable
possibilities in a somewhat predictable industry and introduces a new sense of invisible
realisations.

He prefer soft objects to hard, curved lines to straight, ambiguity to clarity, spatial
diversity to functionalism, and naturalness to artificiality. He says my client wanted
something like a wine cellar and I thought about how to make something truly archaic

He says I wish to think about architecture freely and to expand my perspective on


architecture as flexibly, broadly, and subtly as possible, beyond the stereotypes of what
architecture is considered to be. And He says I wish to explore this possibility. The scales
of space engendered by the natural environment. The liberating feeling of a landscape
extending seemingly forever, the vastness of the sky, the lightness of the sky, the lightness
of a cloud, the fineness of rain drops.

He says also we must always rethink the meaning of architecture for our current time and
its purpose. The architecture we have is mainly based on history and past knowledge,
even if we are currently using the latest technologies. History is very important. However,
we must always rethink the meaning of architecture for our current time and its purpose.
And says that the architectural solutions have to follow global scale, and a mirror close
to nature. For his architecture, the biggest inspiration comes from the location of the
project and the environment of the site.

Extended City. Living while Sea Levels Rise - Closed-loop urban living may be one step closer with the advent of
modular #ocean #cities. #Blue #technology company #Oceanix has designed a prototype for a modular ocean city called OCEANIX CITY.
Hexagonal floating #modules would be the building blocks. They could be mass-produced on shore and towed into place on the water.
When connected, they could provide solar power, communal farming and a limitless mix of space for private and public use.
Would you live in it?
Parisian Urban Lungs - @kkaa_official Kuma's
wanted the #design of the #Eco-Luxury Hotel to
bring an abundance of #greenery to the
development in the #Paris Rive
Gauche #neighbourhood. The #garden will be
placed between the U-shaped 1Hotel designed by
Kuma and the separate youth hostel called Slo
Living designed by Parisian studio Marchi
Architects.

"In the dense urban context of the Avenue


de #France, we felt the need to create a green lung
for the city," explained the studio.

"#Nature finds place at the core of the scheme,


translated in the intimate public garden where all
senses are awoken."

Wooden fins with a triangular profile will be


arranged vertically across the exterior of the
building, leaving gaps for planting to grow in
between.

The overlapping blocks will extend over the top


and edges of the building to soften its outline. This
effect will be enhanced by the inclusion of metal
panels to reflect sunlight.

"As particles, dispersed facade panels together


with the volumetric decomposition come to blur
the shape of the building," said the architects.

The Sahara Forest Project: An arid
ecosystem conceptualized by Michael
Pawlyn in 2007. Pawlyn’s team
imagined #architecture inspired
by #natural processes, using to its
advantage the most
recent #technological #innovations to
create a more #sustainable world.
The #Sahara #Forest #Project is
an #ambitious #project, which sets out to
create new architectural spaces in harmony
with a seemingly hostile
natural #environment. Pawlyn and his team
prove that it is in fact possible to inhabit
areas as bitter as Central Africa’s great
deserts, by using nature’s own genius.
This #architectural complex is perfectly
adapted to the desert’s extreme
temperatures and may even reach full
autonomy by tapping those resources
which a marine desert environment does
have in excess: #sun, #wind and #saltwater.
These are the primary #sources to help
enhance desert #ecosystems, so that they
may be more #efficient, self-sufficient, and
produce no toxic
waste. #biomimicry #biomimetic #biomimi

#Belgian #architect @vincentcallebautarchitectures has #
designed a #conceptual #transport system that would
involve #airships powered by #seaweed.
Called #Hydrogenase, the #project envisages that by 2030
there could be farms in the ocean
producing #biofuel from seaweed and acting as #hubs for
the #aircraft. Between #engineering and #biology,
Hydrogenase is one of the first projects
of #biomimicry which draws its inspiration from the
beauty and the shapes of the nature. Moreover, a farm
with seaweeds is a true miniature biochemical power
station able to absorb CO2 as main nutrient by
photosynthesis accelerated by producing hydrogen in
vitro or in bioreactors. This #natural process, nourishing
itself with our waste enables thus to #recycle under the
effect of the sun, in seaweeds or sea water baths, up to
80% of carbonic gas and NOx (nitrogen oxides also very
impacting on the greenhouse effect). The global organic
cycle enables therefore to revaluate our carboned
rejections such as for example those are coming from
filters with particles of our cars, reactors of our airplanes
or also our rockets coming from thermal power stations
with coal or gas.
The Urban Village | Some assembly required for
this #vision of #future #urban #living. Known for simple, well-
designed, flat-pack furniture, #IKEA is proposing expanding
their DIY-model to a much larger scale:
entire #city centers. #Democratic #Design Days is an annual
event where IKEA introduces its upcoming brands and
collaborations, this year featuring The #Urban #Village #Project,
a collaboration between #SPACE10 and #EFFEKT Architects.
After two years of research, #SPACE10 (IKEA’s global research
and design lab) is releasing their vision to the #public for a new
way to design, build, and #share our #homes, #neighborhoods,
and #cities.

In light of the growing housing and #environmental crises facing


the human population, the project aims to create
more #livable, #sustainable, and #affordable homes to address
the new and upcoming urban challenges we’ll have to face.
Rapid #urbanization, an aging population, #social isolation,
climate change, and a lack of affordable housing all point to a
need to rethink our approach to cities and urban life.

With an overarching goal of improving our quality of life, The


Urban Village Project includes a multi-faceted approach.
Shared #living #communities provide a variety of options for
different types of families and living situations: from a single
person, to a group of roommates, to multi-generational families,
the housing is designed to be adaptable within a modular
building system
Purifying Tower | @StudioSymbiosis has
designed #Aũra #airpurifying #towers for #Delhi, #Indi
a, to help tackle the increasingly dangerous levels
of #pollution in the #city.

Described by Studio Symbiosis as "#breathing #lungs of


the city", the Aũra towers have tapered, twisting forms
designed to draw in polluted air and expel it in
a #purified form.

The proposal responds to increasing levels


of #thick #smog in Delhi that the studio says feels like
"a gas chamber", which can be attributed to industrial
waste, diesel vehicles, crop burning and power plants.
"Residents of Delhi are breathing about 25 times more
toxic air than the permissible limit according to the
World Health Organization guidelines, as on November
2019 according to India Today," explained Studio
Symbiosis. "Everyone who can afford to is buying
home air purifiers but why is clean air becoming a
luxury and only accessible to limited people?
The Filtration Skyscraper | #Architectural #designer and visualiser #HonglinLi has proposed deploying floating high-
rise #wastetoenergy plants fuelled by #plastic waste to #clean up the oceans while generating electricity.

The sci-fi proposal, called #FiltrationSkyscraper, imagines placing unmanned towers on abandoned oil rigs in parts of the oceans
where plastic waste accumulates.

Sophisticated machinery in the conceptual towers would generate electricity and #biofuels from plastic and other pollutants
extracted from seawater. "It involves #converting an abandoned oil platform into a vertical #recycling #skyscraper ,". "It could filter
the floating garbage and clean the seawater while taking on the world's energy crisis." Honglin Li proposes placing the towers in the
so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch, where billions of plastic particles have accumulated in a rotating current called a gyre.
The Climate Tile | #theclimatetile is a #pilot #project #designed to #catch and redirect 30% of the projected extra
rainwater coming due to #climate #change. Created by THIRD #NATURE with #IBF and #ACONordic, the project
will be inaugurated on a 50m pavement stretch at #Nørrebro in #Copenhagen. The first #sidewalk was created as
an #innovative climate project that utilizes the Climate #Tile to create a #beautiful and #adaptable #cityscape. Aimed
at densely populated #cities, the tile handles #water through a technical system that treats water as a valuable
resource.
Recycled Plastic Bottles to Design a School of Architecture | Stockholm-based #architecture practice Ulf Mejergren
Architects (@UMA) has used #thousands of #recycled #plastic #bottles to create a #façade system for an art school
in #Tulum, #Mexico.
#UMA's designs addresses an #environmental issue appearing in many parts of the #world. Addressing to Mexico's half a
million #tons of plastic #waste that ends up in the #ocean each year, the #architects evaluated these plastic wastes through
a #new façade system which can also be a visual case of this environment problem. "With this #building we want to set a
precedent on what can be done with #recycled plastic bottles, an #action that hopefully could inspire other people
and #communities," said the studio.
"A #simple and #economic wall system will make this possible; painted bottles in a color gradient pierced through bent
rebar."The bottles are painted in a gradient of blue-cyan-white colour. The #waves are also more than a great backdrop,
they are also giving shelter from rain and the sun, and at some places they can also be used for seating and tables.
Self sufficient solar prototype | The #ENDESA Pavilion is a #selfsufficient #solar #prototype which is installed at the
Marina Dock, within the framework of the International BCN Smart City Congress in #Barcelona. The Pavilion is actually
the prototype of a multi-scale #construction #system. A facade composed of #modular #components, like #solarbricks, that
respond to #photovoltaic gaining, solar protection, insulation, #ventilation and #lighting. The same parametric logic
adapts #façade #geometries to the specific #environmental requirements for each point of the #building. It is a single
component that integrates all levels of #intelligence that the building needs.
From “form follows function” (classic XX century statement) to “form follows #energy”. The façade opens #reacting to the
solar path, being #active and becoming permeable towards the south, while becoming closed and protective towards the
north. The #behaviour of this #skin makes visible the environmental and #climatic processes that surround the prototype
Carbon Neutral City | @FosterandPartner's #carbon-neutral #Masdar #City is springing to life in #AbuDhabi, and Inhabitat recently had a
chance to take a first-hand look inside this ambitious #sustainable #development! the #world’s most advanced #architectural and
cleantech #developments.
This meticulously–and expensively–designed “sustainable city” is touted as model for #green development: example of how, in an
inhospitable environment, humans can live with #minimal #impact on the earth.
This city is no stranger to criticism, ranging from charges that claims of “sustainability” are inflated at best, to accusations of elitism. But a
visit to one of the most prominent sustainable city in the desert sheds light on its complex legacy: #Environmental #innovation is indeed
happening. Whether it is replicable, analysts say, is a far more complex question.
As the result of massive energy and water consumption, #sustainability, referring to economic development with minimal degradation
of #naturalresources, has become a significant pillar of growth plans in the UAE. The country is looking to “#reduce its #carbon footprint,
meet its own domestic energy needs and expand exports,” says a UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C. webpage. The UAE Energy Strategy
2050 aims to convert 50 percent of its energy to renewable sources and reduce its carbon footprint by 70 percent by 2050.
Treescaper community OAS1S | In Raimond de Hullu’s #city of the #future, people live in #tree-scrapers made from #recycled #wood and
covered in leafy foliage for protection from the elements and #energy conservation purposes.
Each #treescraper would be constructed with prefabricated #recyclable timber, fitted with a #solar array and battery array to store surplus
electricity, and would include a grey water #recycling system and rainwater collection system in order to function completely off-the-grid.
Fitting to the "treescraper" name, the facade of each building is shrouded with shrubbery and feature green roofs.
The #green #utopia is set in a city #woodland - with no sign of cars or overhead power lines - and intended to be completely energy and water
self-sufficient.
Vertical Farm | #Mashambas skyscraper,
a #verticalfarm #tower that would be able
to feed an entire town in sub-
Saharan #Africa.
The #conceptual skyscraper could also be
disassembled, and moved to different
locations where communities need it.
#Designed by #Polish #architects Pawel
Lipiński and Mateusz Frankowski, the
tower would grow produce on the upper
floors and would come with fertilizer and
seeds. The other floors would feature
kindergarten classrooms, a doctor's office,
and even a docking port for drones that
would deliver food to hard-to-reach areas.
"The main objective of the #project is to
bring this #green revolution to
the #poorest #people," Lipiński and
Frankowski write. "Giving training,
fertilizer, and seeds to the small farmers
can give them an opportunity to produce
as much produce per acre as
huge #modern #farms."
Incredibile Architecture with Trash | The Kenya-born #architect and social entrepreneur @kimwelle collects #recycled and
discarded #materials from informal recyclers and local businesses, and uses it to #construct his #buildings, which so far include a school,
recycling depots, rainwater tanks and even solar panels. His most high-profile project so far is the Silindokuhle creche in Joe Slovo
township, north of Cape Town. With the help of the #community, Kimwelle designed and built a structure made entirely of recycled
materials – including 2,500 wine bottles. The glass bottle walls create an illuminated, rather magical atmosphere inside the building,
which was nominated at Cape Town’s Design Indaba as one of 2017’s most beautiful objects in South Africa.
Kimwelle sourced most of the bottles from restaurants in the affluent suburbs of Port Elizabeth, connecting the most privileged members
of the city with the most marginalised.
“I re-engineered materials that are already here,” he says, “adding value to the structure, fostering local skills and taking the green agenda
to the township.”
Architect’s Village #Bamboo #Skyscraper is an #architecture concept #designed by @CRGArchitects to create a high standard
of #urban and #contemporary high-rise #sustainable #design possibility in #Singapore.

Humans have been cutting #forests to eat and to build. #Building from fiber waste and grass means using less #trees and more plant and
grass fiber. Bamboo is a giant grass. Some species grow stronger and harder than oak in just 5 years. Why wouldn’t we want to build with a
strong natural fiber that takes 5 years to grow instead of 20, 40 or 80 years?
#MichaelReynolds is the #architect, founder, and creator of the #Earthship #Biotecture concept which today is an #ecoconstruction company
known worldwide. After graduating from #architecture school at the University of Cincinnati in 1969, concerned about the problem of trash and
the lack of #affordable #housing, Michael started #experimenting and #building using #discarded #materials . Over the next
decades, #designs constantly evolved incorporating thermal mass, passive #solarenergy and #naturalventilation as means
to #respect the #environment and to counteract #climate change thorough architecture.

The resulting project was the Earthship, an autonomous self-sufficient house built with natural and recycled materials with energy conservation in
mind. Designed to produce water, electricity, and food for its own use, Earthships are defined by six basic design principles, all of which take
advantage of the existing natural phenomena of the earth: building with natural and repurposed materials, using thermal and solar heating and
cooling, solar- and wind-generated electricity, water harvesting, contained sewage treatment and self-sustained food production.
