Vertical Zoo & water purification plant.
zoo |zoo|
noun
an establishment that maintains a collection of wild animals, typically
in a park or gardens, for study, conservation, or display to the public.
Static and fragmented system, artifice of bounded spaces, atmospheres of
relative results, the traditional conception of park or zoo reserve
forces us to adopt a contemplative and distant position, sterilizing the
natural, fragmenting the ecosystems as a consequence of a functional
circulation approach. The hierarchical predisposition of surfaces
according to the prioritization of the flora and fauna throughout the
structural and functional development of the building allows the
reversal of roles, the potentiation of passivity and the contemplation
as pivot between internal-external, free-captive, dominator and
dominated.
A helical ramp arranged in a central position, monopolizing across the
first 40 meters almost all the position within the plot, is displayed in
a modular way collaborating structurally as a space lattice with the
cross shaped columns arranged along the internal corners of the
building, incorporating- at the same time- the forklift, stairs and
lifts, which, at a pace of 30 storey, alternate with the structure
looking for an static optimization.
The walkway, immersed within the atmosphere of the different habitable
levels, separated more than 7 meters from each other, takes the visitor
into the centre of the wild life caught by the normal development of the
different species within the zoological reserve.
Located at the southern end of the Copios Lagoon ?Coypu Pond? the new
tower capitalizes, -through a system of piles- the regulation, flow, and
purification of the water flowing and ensures the dike situation
(south- north). The provision of a set of circular purifiers at the edge
of sand traps provide the building?s water requirements which are
increased by the predisposition of water curtains as natural cooling
mechanisms.
The inverted pyramid volume constituting the first floors of the
building shelter, size-according, the areas assigned for the smaller
species, while the regularization of the form above the 500 meters
regards the rest of them. Such a rhythm conditions the use of the last
floors to a focused utilization of species, materials and functions, in a
volumetric disaggregation that results in an image of vibration and
lightness (projection of the birds? permeable volume, auditorium,
botanic garden, laboratories, sightseeing and city lighthouse).
The two-levels underground, partial projection of the lagoon?s surface,
houses a urban-level parking, accesses to the zoo and natural reserve on
the coast.
The provision of an external mechanic crane system collaborates to the
optimization of the zoo?s practical needs, giving, at the same time, a
port?s atmosphere to the complex whole.
At the axis of Av. Roque Saenz Pena, aligned visually to the Plaza de
Mayo, the vertical Zoo closes with the ?obelisco? in correspondence with
the opposite extreme, as a new icon of the skyline of city of Buenos
Aires.
