City sky/earth-scraper
biologic recovery nexus : perpendicularly and horizontally development.
This project suggests a
colony that restore environment while developing human existence. We
are proposing a new urban typology that should break the deadlock in
which civilization has been engaged since it grew to big.
While assuring human survivals basics, it will also be a culture medium
and constitute a network with the global environment.
We tried to reduce the energy consumption by avoiding an expanding city
style but a typology whom the shape and the function permit to restore
the environment. The human activity areas are thought as parasites buried
into the matrix of the biologic recovery nexus. -In the sea, the environment
created by the fasciculus reticulated tissue of fiber that plunge into
water allow to develop plankton and thus, fish farms.
Inside the main structure, a rotating empilage of slabs following the
movement of the sun constitute a system that generate food and provide
stock space of it. It is also a desalinate facility.-In the desert, Reticulated
tissue net are developed horizontally giving protection to the above
ground. It is a protection against ultraviolet rays and regulates excessive
rains. Thanks to this the above soil regain fertility and gain the ability
to bear vegetation, slowly regenerating the environment. The tower pumping
underground water products food.Program.The whole consist
of a Sky/Earth-Scraper, a reticulated tissue of fiber and flexible circulation
tubes. Those ones provide various transportation systems to the Sky/Earth-Scraper.
The living spaces are developed where the transportation tubes and the
main body structures are connecting each other. (plus mentionner aussi
les autre ailleurs voir point d'attraction)Sky/Earth-Scraper.The tower dispose
of solar battery, wind generators, and an water production system by
using sea/underground water. Those systems are built according to necessity.
In addition it provide different ways to stock energy and resources.
The tower cools of by use of a heat exchange system which take place
into the underground and underwater sections and also into the fiber
net. This exchange system converts heat into electricity thanks to the
Seebeck effect. By distributing those resources outside, it also gain
the role of "improving environment device".The hexagonal shape
is used as a construction standard. The slabs are able to adjust their
orientation by moving on a vertical direction while turning along the
skin structure tubes. the slabs are thought as a folding honeycomb object.
It can fold on itself and be stored. It allow to dispose of high flexible
inner space that can be adjusted to the needs.
The six main structural tubes are spinning around the building up to
the top where they converge. Using this kind of structure generate strength
perpendicular to the facade that are taken over by ring belt bounding
the structure horizontally. The structure leads down the load, following
the spiral movement.Reticulated tissue
net
This tissue is porous, giving regulation to the light, and preventing
the direct exposition to sandstorms. the inner space is comfortable
thanks to the skin being thought as the one of a living body. The living
spaces take place into those reticulated tissue of fiber.Flexible circulation
tube.
This is a duct running vertically and horizontally into the whole colony
levels. It carries water, food, clear water, harvested food, and hot/cold
water from the heat exchange system. It is also a vacuum tube carrier
for movements of persons. It is constructed into a material that possesses
the properties of dynamic strength, flexibility and chemical stability.
