Tale IX: Turn On The Sun

Theory

Environment Modification

In the first fifth of the 21st century, mankind has already experienced several natural disasters of a century’s duration, and the triumph over nature will always be a dream that seems to be within its reach but is nevertheless out of reach. In fact, in its long history of activity and development, mankind has already been trying to use its abilities to actively or perhaps passively change the environment in which it lives.

Artificial rainfall can increase the likelihood of rainfall through catalysts, and afforestation can absorb carbon dioxide. At the same time, in the building profession, intelligent building systems technology allows a wide range of electrical installations to respond interactively where and when the user requires them, meeting the requirements of safety, protection, comfort, economy and energy efficiency at the scale of the building.

Building technology allows people to control, simulate and, indeed, create environments. The building (or even the city) is a regulated container: the lighting, thermostats and ventilation systems within the space create a carefully designed, completely internal environment, depending on the function required. Thus, perhaps we no longer need the external natural environment but an artificial container that can control, centralize, orchestrate, dominate our living environment.
