Site Overview
A possibility of future expansions Urban
voids, in between the density of sticks appear
two voids where sculptured elements
are found (Auditorium and Planetarium). We
decided to surround the site by a green buffer
for sound, air cooling and parking shading.
Our main architectural feature are the vertical
sticks. In additional to their basic functions
(structure, light and ventilation) they are the
elements that create the dialogue with the surrounding
environment and landscape. The function of the
sticks changes according to their position. The external
ones, with the help of running water, will work as cooling
systems and sound absorbents. The vertical sticks situated
in the inner part, will produce a shadow that will recreate
an intense micro climate using shadow, humidity and heated
tops where different ecological systems will be reproduced.
Alternate sticks will function as exhibition structures to host outdoor
installations, while others will function as accommodation
for users/guests. The sticks will be using wind to generate melodies
– they change in accordance to the programmatic location.
