All industrial energy system inscribes its
technological order into the urban fabric. What it’s the shape and what will be
the urban footprint of the next ZERO CARBON energy economy? Which spatial
implications for a “water city” like Boston?
The key issue for this present challenge is how we can anticipate Fort Point
Channel’s role in new Boston’s
green future? That’s the Shift!
Water is still the most appreciated elements of life
and one of the most strategic urban resources for city development in a global
zero carbon economy. The future of Boston
is inseparable from the future of their bay and its waterfront. Water is a
driving force that fundamentally shapes the whole character of the city. While
the world is looking for possible alternatives to fossil fuels, water is also
an unlimited source of energy. Indeed, hydrogen
obtained from water hydrolysis has been touted as the basis of a new green
energy economy.
Our proposal envisions Fort Point Channel as a new
Energy Infrastructure at the heart of a symbiotic strategy, irrigated by a
brand new solar vessels system, connecting downtown’s commercial waterfront,
with South Boston waterfront. Transforming the
channel into a real dynamic water gateway, as an ecological infrastructure, it
supports new leisure activities, restaurants, floating hotels, art galleries, displaying
new water practices and encouraging citizens to help it to become the “next
great place in the City of Boston”
The proposal explores the value of an energy
harvesting infrastructure as a design opportunity to catalyze Fort Point’s
urban potential hybridizing economy with ecology. The channel as an inner
waterfront represent by its central position in Boston, and by its sheltered condition a
great opportunity to create an urban hydrogen generator and at the same time a
new great urban water place.
HYDROMALL has been conceived as a completely
integrated, energetic closed loop, using electricity from wind turbines and
solar PV panels for producing and storing pure hydrogen.
Thanks to the simple but effective superimposition of the
“wind forest”, the “solar ribbons” and the “algae roof”. These three systems of
energy harvesting are situated alongside the channel, and they taking advantage
of architectural, landscape and urban potential of all of it, with a very few
elements of a high technical accuracy, the proposal creates an open urban
support to develop water activities and a new dynamic economical tissue for
whole city.
