Philadelphia Climate Exchange
The Philadelphia Climate Exchange provides an environment
with the perverse juxtaposition of both economy and ecology in the form of a
stock market which operates based on the exchange of carbon credits and weather
futures. In this new business paradigm,
the project examines the surface of exchange through the manipulation of two
traditional typologies: the plinth and
the office core. Program becomes reorganized
into five distinct character groupings, which are defined in terms of how the
spaces function as places of exchange.
The four most prominent program pieces which require the highest degree
of exchange are set out as the base floor plates. The typologies of the office core and plinth
buildings are then manipulated round these base programs in order to maximize
the exchange of information based on the principle that maximum exposure leads
to maximum exchange.
The Plinth works to mediate exchange on the large scale
between the building as a whole and its public realm. As opposed to the traditional plinth which
limits the public involvement to the groundplane, the PCX plinth also
negotiates a vertical public space. As
an expanded surface, it functions as structure, circulation, and elevation to
the building. Intermediary program is
then able to branch off of the structure and feed into the base program.
