The Farm and the Garden

The Farm and the Garden / La Granja i el Jardi

authored by Seif El-Din Shawky

“All the world’s a stage” phrased by the melancholy Jaques in William Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’, speaks to me of the intristic underlying nature of life. Everything has a start and an end. We are far from static between those extremes, as everything shifts from moment to the next, most of the time predictable yet instinctual. Growth is hence implied in dynamic change.

The research investigates augmentations to the highway. The Farm and the Garden consist of a territory of farming and mobility garden acting as prosthetics to roads, providing two things; a large-scale advanced ‘conscious’ farming prototype, and a living dynamic garden appreciated in live perception as vehicles and their users pass through. We should know what we eat, this is a step forward, a step for avant-garde road mechanisms.

Location : Poligon Industrial de la Zona Franca, Barcelona

Area : 374,750 m2

Program : Tropistic farming, piezo-electric harvesting gardens, communal participation.

Park[o]polis

Barcelona is a city with a lack of urban green areas. While New York has more then 23 square meters of green areas per inhabitant, Barcelona has only 5,60 square meters per city dweller. Our area, located in the Ciutadella park and its surroundings is strategically located in the geographical center of the city, and has potential to help solving that problem. Although the area has 4 different parks, only two of them are used to its full potential. The other two parks (Barceloneta Park and Parc des Cascades) are disconnected from the urban tissue, specially because of the presence of the Ronda Litoral, and remain unused by the population. Parkop[o]lis is a strategic plan to connect the existing parks and to create new parks. The hypothesis is that, in the city of the future, cars will change and become more compact. If that happens, roads as we know them will have to be redesigned. By doing that, we transformed the Ronda and integrated it with the existing parks. The Estación de Francia will also become a part of the park, since its use will change once the La Sagrera train station starts operating.

FlexHub dock

The redesign cruise port project will create the smart mesh from a reprogrammable surface placed between the docks , and by adding a thin layer of sensors which receiving dads from GPS and web site connected to the main social networks, giving the possibility to tourists and residents to change scenario and creating a dynamic space for the cruise port of Barcelona.

The photovoltaic modules that cover the mesh absorb the solar energy and transform it into electrical energy by releasing it into the distributive power network, recharging all the vehicles at the hub. This energy will be used also for the cruisers in an alternative maritime power system called Cold Ironing, which allows emergency equipment, refrigeration, cooling, heating, lighting and other equipment to receive continuous electrical power while the ship loads or unloads.
