WILD SCREENS
Program Adaptability
of the project to the geographical characteristics of every soils : land,
water and unstable surfaces such as marshy, sandy, icy areas and lands
liable to flooding. 125 dwellings for a surface of 5 hectares ( 450 inhabitants,
115m2/inhabitant). Industrialized process of building, including making,
forwarding and assembling. Geographical similarity of the designed site
with the delta's one. Proposal This proposal is guided by the morphological
rules of its main component : the floating tube. Bunch of floating pipes
adaptable to different geographical characteristics Different intervals
between tubes dedicated to : local traffic depending on the environment
dwellings in cross-bar houses spaced out by aquatic areas collective and
leisure programs. Process : The totality of building units are made in
factory. Prefabricated pipe sections and prefabricated metallic skeleton
of houses are forwarded to the site in order to be assembled and put in
their final location (anchorage). Houses are situated between the floating
tubes and they integrate the inner space of pipes. The final step of the
process can also be achieved by inhabitants who can undertake the design
of the living space and of the platform roof. Traffic and access Traffic
(road and water way) varies in regard to the environment. In the chosen
case, water transportation has been privileged. Pedestrian ways are situated
along pipes and the platform roof works as a link. It allows pedestrians
to pass from one tube to another. Accesses to houses is either possible
from an inside gallery or from a staircase situated in the court yard.
Dwellings On both sides of the lower platform of units (65 m2), one has
access to the facilities spaces (45 m2 : kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms etc.)
located in the encircled part of pipes. Collective programs Programs dedicated
to leisure (an amazonian biotop, a swimming pool and an ice rink) are
situated under transparent dome. Specific characteristics of the proposal
Floating tubes are at once support, links, boundaries and part of houses.
The different working processes of pipes converge in the house. They undertake
the transmission of fluids and webs. Domestic sewage is stocked in certain
parts of pipes in order to be biologically recycled before its restitution
to the environment. Certain parts also undertake the ballasting required
for stability. Thanks to partition walls, tubes are divided in separated
sections fitted out with water pumps controlled by computing. Pipes always
propose a propitious site for settlement. Wind slides above the general
shape of the project. The location of the houses and gardens protects
them from high and usual wind. The proposition fit to the landscape without
spoiling it and without damaging the ecological system. This peculiarity
and flexibility could make possible a decolonization process. |
