Fort Point Channel HYDRO_MALL
A Zero Carbon
economy
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 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?
A new water
landscape
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” That’s the Shift!
Hybridizing energy
harvesting and urban space
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 an energetic
completely integrated 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
