Border Prototype

The aim of the workshop was the construction of a prototype of a single module from the proposal for the studio project: Hyperbordered Port. The important thing was the development of the unit referring to the entire system.

The prototype of the unit was developed in order to study the function of the hydraulic system in the module. The element used for the hydraulic system were the syringes. The syringes were connected such a way that the water pushed in one side was used to lift a surface besides.

The same hydraulic concept was used to build a system of the units. This piece shows the interaction of the modules

This exercise was helpful to understand the function of a unit in order to come back to the project with the same hydraulic concept.

Borders concept final approach

The borders in the city have been build on averages, standarized dimensions. What if the borders respond, instead of to this static conditions, to the real time data generated by the spatial needs of the people? A topography of borders able to adapt to the real necesities of the city.

Borders concept first approach

We began to define the concept of borders, as well as their implications and constraints. We also started to develop a catalog with all the parameters that we considered necessary in order to understand the borders according to the different urban activities which they make possible or impossible.

RS1 Borders Concept

First impressions on the site

The borders of the port called particularly our attention, as spatial determinants and generators. We began to explore some of their basic conditions: their location, materiality, temporality, evolutionary character, psychological character and their impact on the area.

Can you feel the borders?
