TERM III midjury 1

Building on the performative structure of Term II, we want to explore how a temporary reactive structure can add to the quality of life for inhabitants of Torre Baro.

The proposal is a pre-fabricated, low impact structre that inhabits temporarily available plots and generates a shared space that locals can rearrange as they wish seasonally. Simultaneously responding in real time to microclimatic conditions, the multilayered skin adjusts internal environments by controlling light, air flow and temperature.

Structurally the proposal consists of a series of connected compression-tension structures clad in an environmentally reactive skin. The system allows for low energy demanding expansion/compression by adjusting the cable lengths only.

WATER HARVESTING BUILDING :::

The idea mainly targets the future problem of water scarcity.  The attempt is to harvest water from humidity, thus, activities occurring on site need to play a role in heating up the air. Water vapor then condenses by hitting cold bodies (Building elements) on site. By so, we create a cycle of water reuse out of evaporated water from the sea, transpiration by plants and respiration from human beings.

The aim is to offer facilities such as barbecue in outdoor spaces, gym, and sauna in indoor spaces for the people in Torre Baro, consequently, making use of number of users in order to recycle water again for the people.
