<p>Redundant smoke, is such a thing possible?</p>
<p>It is, both figuratively and physically.  Smoke’s ability to diffuse in the environment and its lightness, are there to grasp, made tangible while floating over the city’s landscape. In material terms, Aerogel represents the ability of capturing a gas “constraining” and making it tangible into a solid object.  Aerogel is a material that consists mainly of air (95%) trapped inside a nano-pores structure of silica particulate. Having among its major components air, the material outperforms other materials in terms of thermal and acoustic insulation, structural capabilities, and lightness, diffusion of light, view and experience.</p>
<p>The room is designed as a gradual procession of experiences, from the outside terrace, to the internal space, and ultimately to the room, floating over the city, with a radial view of its surroundings.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-294" title="Redundant-Smoke---2_night-view" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Redundant-Smoke-2_night-view.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="376" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-295" title="Redundant-Smoke---1_environmental-diagram" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Redundant-Smoke-1_environmental-diagram.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="534" /></p>
<p><strong>Environmental approaches</strong></p>
<p>Aerogel allows very good quality of diffused natural light reducing the use of electricity in daylight conditions. Lighting in dwellings accounts for 20-30% of the overall energy consumption.</p>
<p>We tried to focus the project strategy on simplicity: manual mechanism and passive techniques are widely used to reduce the overall building energy consumption for heating/cooling/lighting. The building performances we found most appropriate for London climatic conditions are based on extreme internal insulation panels (Aerogel) with heavy thermal mass mainly located into the floor slab and in partitions.</p>
<p>The thermal mass helps to stabilize the indoor temperature, absorbing and collecting the excess of heat during the day and releasing it during the night when indoor temperature is likely to drop. Internal insulation panels (made out of pure Aerogel) prevent heat losses during the night.</p>
<p>The building is oriented along the north-south axis. This expedient reduces the south facing glazed area.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-298" title="Redundant-Smoke---1_materials-1" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Redundant-Smoke-1_materials-1.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="684" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-299" title="Redundant-Smoke---1_materials-2" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Redundant-Smoke-1_materials-2.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="220" /></p>
<p><strong>Materiality</strong></p>
<p>Assembling the components with the technique of vacuum allows a DRY setup of materials, that are tightened up together by the atmospheric pressure. In this way facade clusters are fabricated minimizing machinery and there is no waste of material during the construction process. In fact after the life-cycle of the building components will be disassembled.</p>
<p>Every material will go back to its initial status, facilitating re-usage.</p>
<p>In this way the carbon footprint of the building is drastically reduced.</p>

Re/current stream must refer to a temporality and lightness in which materiality emphasizes things rather than explicitly portraying them.</p>

<p>The project is made out of two and half walls, that become a permeable surface marking a transition, but never completely isolating the interior from the rest of its context, since its also this condition the one enhancing the idea of transition, confronting and internal temporary condition with an external journey.</p>
<p>Walls are made out of vertical wooden ribs (pointing upwards to the sky).  In the base, these get denser to incorporate part of the program.  In plan the project has a triangular shape, that allows the vertical ribs to be oriented into different angles, which modifies the views in and out of the Sukkah.  The rib structure is reinforced with tubes running horizontally across the ribs and filled with luminescent fluid.  The roof structure is made out of wooden leaves and covered with reed.</p>
<p>Re/current stream should be coherent, so instead of constructing in a traditional sense, we plan to print all the pieces, from files into the material with the aid of digital tools.  These pieces will be cut and transported to Union Square where they’ll be assembled, making this process (and that of disassembly) faster and safer.</p>

<p>La vallata del fiume Vomano descrive un sistema di quinte sceniche che abbraccia il massiccio del Gran Sasso, le colline di valle e la foce al mare. La relazione fra edificato e campagna rappresenta la chiave di progettazione dei laboratori artigianali MdM, che concludono il piano di lottizzazione contiguo al borgo di Torre San Rocco, ai piedi della collina Col Morino.</p>
<p>Il corpo principale registra tale dualismo, incastrando una quinta scenica che abbraccia la collina, mentre il portico si struttura come un volume aperto verso la piana coltivata. Si é ricercato un dualismo materico molto deciso accostando il cemento liscio alla lamiera metallica ondulata: il fronte settentrionale si protegge ermetico dalle intemperie, mentre quello meridionale é inciso parametricamente dalla luce, sposando comfort illuminotecnico e dialogo con il paesaggio. Ad occidente, il fronte divide la presenza con la viabilità di zona; ad est si colora con il coltivato, attraverso l&#8217;uso del policarbonato alveolare semitrasparente. Perché anche con la luce artificiale i laboratori possano risuonare con la vallata.</p>

<p>Calcutta, India</p>
<p>According to U.N. surveys, inhabitants of Kolkata’s slums perceive the lack of infrastructural facilities as condition to escape from their poverty. Nonetheless they have developed a very sophisticated social network based on mutual help, community exchanges, education and spaces’ negotiation.</p>
<p>The project aims to build up an operative infrastructure that acts directly at lower scale, capable of adapting to several conditions, evolving and proliferating. An incubator of activity that will stimulate the social cooperation within slum’s communities. A micro-infrastucture organization generates intense agricultural procedures (the inhabitants of the slums left the field to move in the city for better conditions) as an economical set-up.</p>
<p>The main basic component is a recycled pipe, constitued by two sub-units: an artificial and a biological part. Such component operates as a machine, engaging different programs as water phytodepuration, water filtering, vegetal cropping, rice and wheat farming, and organic waste treatment. Clusters of components organize ecological cycles, calibrated on the necessities of singles, families and sub-collectives.</p>
<p>This organization is an open social interaction: mutual exchanges or program interfecences catalyze multiple scenarios of evolution. Each macro unit becames a sensible organism that triggers sustainable processes, promotes slum’s identity and operates within principles of self-organization.</p>

<p>The pressure pattern helped to identify the critical zones in the proximity of the structure. The balcony in the old building strcture protects iternal window from high presure generated by the wind.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-159" title="fluent CFD analysis01" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fluent-CFD-analysis01.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="720" /></p>
<p>Detail of the tridimensional structure. The metallic structure acts as a real filter that redirects the airflow inside the enclosed area and slightly reduces the wind speed. This allowed the architect to design an urban area within the semi-enclosed space between the structure and the old building ensuring a well ventilated environment in summer conditions.</p>

<p>Lo sviluppo impetuoso che sta coinvolgendo le energie rinnovabili ha reso elementi come i pannelli fotovoltaici un elemento comune del paesaggio. E’ cruciale pertanto la ricerca di modelli di integrazione  spaziale avanzati e di esempi positivi che stimolino una sensibilità nuova verso questo tema.</p>
<p>PCUBE  é il risultato della volontà di integrare le energie rinnovabili in un oggetto di grande qualitá architettonica e spaziale. Il progetto di questo padiglione si propone imbastendo un progetto aperto, partendo proprio dall&#8217;analisi degli elementi tipici [industrializzati] delle attuali prassi nel fotovoltaico. Infatti, attraverso l’uso di tecniche avanzate di progettazione digitale è stato possibile implementare grandi quantità di informazioni e dati ambientali nel progetto, superando schemi rigidi e semplificati del comune operare. Il design del Pcube è basato su un modello geometrico parametrico, che permette l’adattamento della forma del padiglione alle necessità spaziali e programmatiche del sito di installazione.  Il modello parametrico permette poi di disporre i pannelli fotovoltaici di copertura tenendo conto dei cicli solari diurni ed annuali. Questi, infatti, possono essere posizionati ad orientamento costante di 30 gradi o ad orientamento variabile, entro intervalli computati per una migliore produzione energetica.  Il modello digitale permette di simulare la produzione energetica del padiglione e lo studio degli ombreggiamenti, consentendo così di ottimizzare la disposizione dei pannelli.</p>

<p>Il PCUBE è progettato per la fruizione aperta di atmosfere piacevolmente allestite, accoglienti, di notevole qualità spaziale ed impatto identitario e comunicativo: info-point, mostre itineranti sulle energie rinnovabili, ristoranti, lounge bar, stabilimenti balneari, hotel, spazi relax, etc.</p>
<p>Il progetto e’ stato reso possibile dalla collaborazione con l’Impresa costruttrice FAI Impianti, OFFICINA CREATIVA, Soc. Coop. Sociale e a Nitens, spin-off dell’ Università del Salento.</p>
<p>L&#8217;installazione è stata presentata presso la 72° Fiera del Levante a Bari e continuerà un percorso itinerante che la porterà nelle piazze di diverse citta’. Ad ogni tappa si arricchirà di eventi ed esperienze, con tecniche e modi d’uso innovativi. Il prossimo appuntamento a Lecce.</p>

<div id="attachment_114" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 290px"><img class="size-full wp-image-114 " title="gallipoli_01" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gallipoli_01.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="396" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Concept</p></div>
<p>Il progetto si configura quale riscontro alla richiesta di formulazione di una proposta generale di ridisegno e sistemazione dell&#8217;area coincidente con la fascia costiera sud di Gallipoli, dal Piazzale Torre San Giovanni alla Torre di punta Pizzo, rispondendo puntualmente agli obiettivi assunti dall&#8217;Amministrazione Comunale al fine della compatibilità urbanistica, salvaguardia paesaggistica e conformità edilizia; ovvero di provvedere affinché tali requisiti siano raggiunti in vista delle esigenze dell&#8217;ente territoriale uniformando le infrastrutture preesistenti e di nuova realizzazione ricadenti lungo la fascia costiera.</p>
<p>Gli interventi proposti, al fine della regolarizzazione urbanistica ed amministrativa di cui sopra, riguardano la puntualizzazione delle destinazioni d&#8217;uso delle aree esterne circostanti le strutture esistenti e quelle di progetto, l&#8217;eliminazione dei detrattori e l&#8217;integrazione dell&#8217;apparato naturalistico che caratterizza l&#8217;intera area, al fine della contestuale fruizione e salvaguardia del bene.</p>
<h4>Concept / Intensitá Lente</h4>
<p>Il progetto rispondendo alle esigenze dell&#8217; Amministrazione locale, avanza una proposta d&#8217;intervento per la valorizzazione ambientale del territorio a fini turistici attraverso la creazione diun percorso turistico sostenibile in cui si alternano aree attrezzate e infrastrutture di servizio che nelle strutture architettoniche, nei materiali usati, e nella gestione stessa si presentino eco-compatibili, ovvero nel rispetto dei principi della sostenibilità ambientale.</p>
<p>Partendo da un&#8217;analisi di Valutazione d&#8217;Impatto Ambientale si è valutata la possibilità di realizzare dei percorsi e delle attrezzature finalizzate alla fruibilità e valorizzazione dell&#8217;area all&#8217;interno di un sito naturalistico di interesse comunitario (SIC) . Si tratta del &#8220;litorale di Gallipoli &#8211; Isola Sant&#8217;Andrea&#8221;, un sito complesso caratterizzato da diverse unità ambientali con forti valenze floristiche e vegetazionali che, il progetto renderebbe fruibile nel rispetto della sostenibilità.</p>

The impact of inhabit the ecosystem is defined by a complex (evolutionary) organization.</p>
<p>The model, identifying emerging phenomena, is structured through three complementary non-hierarchical moments:</p>
<p>1) Strategic, defined by inductive indications and criteria that structure the procedures;</p>
<p>2) Proto-typical, in which are defined dynamic associations between cyclic model-machines and manipulation of inputs and outputs;</p>
<p>3) Testing, advanced through the measurements of expected performances that calibrate the strategy and improve the prototypes.</p>
<p>The simultaneous coordination of these moments open the possibility to constitute an intelligent organism that explore different scenarios thought the incorporation of heterogeneous conditions.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-107" title="Ecotectonic_Village_01" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ecotectonic_Village_01.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="670" /></p>
<p>In the specific case, the strategic starting point is the consideration of the symbiotic dynamics of the lichens that are based on two processes that are common to most of the ecosystems: photosynthesis and fermentation. The first one has been associated to the procedures of the plants while the second to the human actions that were targeted to be extremely connected to the natural and artificial life cycle.</p>
<p>The biological dynamics become the basis for the prototypes definition and developed through the experimentation of different machines:</p>
<p>1_ study of the symbiotic interaction between algae and yeasts, to understand the property of interaction and the quantities involved in the fermentation and photosynthetic processes;</p>
<p>2_ implications of field effect between different organisms;</p>
<p>3_ implementation of a geometric system and the study of these dynamics in model scale and territorial scale;</p>
<p>4_ association of a proper geometry to the dynamics of symbiosis and to the housing and cultivation program in the housing scale.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108" title="Ecotectonic_Village_02" src="http://echomaterico.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ecotectonic_Village_02.jpg" alt="" width="950" height="666" /></p>
<p>The house unit is divided, according to the symbiotic principle, in two fields: the lower part is dedicated to the fermentation process, related to the decomposition of organic waste of plants, digestion of waste and production of biogas. The upper one is dedicated to photosynthesis, plant growing, water collection and storage.</p>
<p>Every single house works as a complete unit, that organize internal cycles of re-uses and mutual benefits, both optimized for the natural and human life. Furthermore that unit operate to threat the biological and organic waste as natural regenerator of degraded soils, typical of the specific selected area. This means that the units operate thought a changing natural footprint that is determining the “life” of the architectural manufacture itself.</p>

<p>Because more is the quantities produced and consumed (Co2, O, waste, water) more is the space occupied, the proliferation of the units offers an important social experience. In fact, the social meaning of “property” is now shifted to a cooperation-property, where it is not the actual perimeter that define it, but the complex amount of activity that you do on it. The continuous negotiation among the inhabitants it directly translated to effect on the environment in terms of adsorption (+) and consumption (-), but also a specific spatial configuration that derives from this balance.</p>
