InTime?

STATUS
Concept
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
Starting from conventional elements, judiciously introducing new ones, the ancients turn out to be
improper, to be incomplete. Using conventions in an unconventional way, disposing of common
objects in an uncommon way, this how a common garden can help the context and can use a
consolidate topic to achieve a new effect.
IN TIME? was born from a strategic reinterpretation of an unnamed park in Manhein. A public
space, surrounded by houses, characterized by an existing paths system and the existing railway
route that intersect in a single common point. At the intersection a giant clock, that keeping the
existing tracks as cartographic edges, ticks away towards a sustainable future. This new CLIMATE
CLOCK will generate about 1077.6 MWh of energy annually and it will represent the amount of
time left before the changes won’t be reversible.
This new public landmark and art station, made up of seven pie-shaped public spaces as the days
in a week, represent a MAPPING OF TIME. Each pie is a composition of two main element that
can be replicated as structure: the ground and a cluster 24 columns as the hours in a day. As time
passes, they glow as a light path in which different hours of the day will be represented in a
theoretical time frame that goes from April to October.
The ground is made by abstract and non-abstract composition to encourage people being active
part of the space itself. In some cases its own morphology can address a specific functional use, in
some others it’s the time that will define the space.
Each “hour-column” is a global element responding to local conditions due to its parametric
approach. It acts as metabolic element. It is composed of light cones, solar fins, horticulture pods,
vertical gardens and energy reservoirs a top-to-bottom orientation, respectively.
For each pie, the group of 24 columns is organized in the same geometric pattern, their only
variation is the height of each of them that remain fixed proportionally.
The geometry is further optimized algorithmically to maximize its radiation exposure. Inclined roofs
help to optimize the volumes and to increase the possibility to absorb and produce energy.
The solar fins, two for every column, are made of multi-junction solar cells which have higher
conversion efficiency (theoretically C.E. = 86.8%) than that of traditional photovoltaic (theoretically
C.E. = 33.3%).
It reflects the 42.5% of a real life scenario.
About 67% of the total energy produced is directed towards the city grid, supporting approximately
200 households based on the average household consumption of 3500 kWH, and the remaining
43% is for the big clock itself.
However, partially filtered wastewater is drawn from the city grid for the maintenance of vertical
gardens and to aid the process of plantation growth from seed to the sapling stage, housed within
the horticulture pods. Of the 43% of self-utilized energy, 28% is utilized for vertical farming
processes, 11% for the rotatory motion of (Solar)Sub-Fins on activation, and a mere 4% for lamps.
.The project promotes and emphasizes Sustainable Development Goals:
- Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
- Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
- Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
- Goal 13. “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”.
Conceptually “in TIME?” finds it necessary to address the “idea of urgency” as a collective,
through the climate crisis.
The proposal creates an urgency to act now towards a sustainable future through metabolic
processes as systems and their deep integration within our lives to be sustainable on our
spaceship earth and this design proposal is just one small step towards that goal.
