CONCEPT COLLAGE 1 SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION: CONCEPT SKETCHES THE CONCEPT OF THE MAIN PROJECT DERIVES FROM THE STUDY OF BOTH THE DIGITAL NOMAD AND THE ANALYSIS OF IBIZA’S UNIQUE CULTURAL POSITION. THE NOMAD SITUATED WITHIN A HEDONISTIC LANDSCAPE AND AN ARCHITECTURE THAT IS CREATED BY THE IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NOMAD(S). BELOW IS AN INITIAL COLLAGE THAT EXPLORES THE NOTION OF A MOVING ARCHITECTURE MADE OF A SERIES OF LO-TECH MODULAR COMPONENTS THAT CONNECT, INTERCHANGE, REPOSITION, AND DISCONNECT AS THE BUILDING PROGRESSES THROUGH TIME. THE SERVICES WITHIN THE ARCHITECTURE ARE DEFINED BY THE USERS AT THE TIME AND CAN CHANGE AS QUICKLY AS THE FORM ITSELF CHANGES. FROM NIGHTCLUBS, TO BARS, TO, LOUNGES, TO FUNFAIR’S, TO CONCERTS, THE ARCHITECTURE PROVIDES THE OPERATIONS FOR A NEVER-ENDING PARTY IN IBIZA, ONE THAT NEVER STOPS MOVING AND NEVER STOPS EVOLVING AND ADAPTING TO NEW CIRCUMSTANCES AND NEW EXPRESSIONS OF ITS USERS.
CONCEPT COLLAGE 2 SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION: CONCEPT SKETCHES THE ARCHITECTURE ITSELF WILL BE TREATED AS A NETWORK OF INTERCONNECTED SUPPORT SYSTEMS, NOT ONE BUILDING BUT A SERIES OF MOBILE TRANSPORTATION NODES THAT COME TOGETHER TO DEFINE A SPACE WHEN IT IS REQUIRED. BELOW IS A SECOND COLLAGE THAT LOOKS CLOSER INTO THESE SATELLITE SUPPORT VEHICLES. THESE TRANSFORMING MACHINES EXPAND AND INTERACT WITH OTHER COMPONENTS OF ARCHITECTURE AND DERIVE FROM A LO-TECH APPROACH TO DESIGN. THEY ARE A TANGLED ARRANGEMENT OF PARTS AND DEVICES THAT TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE LOW CULTURE OF THE HIPPY GENERATION ON IBIZA AND BEGIN TO FORM AN ADAPTABLE PLATFORM ONTO WHICH THE EVOLUTION OF IBIZA CAN BE A CONSTANT AND PROGRESSIVE PROCESS.
CONCEPT COLLAGE 3 SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTATION: CONCEPT SKETCHES BELOW IS A THIRD COLLAGE THAT FURTHER DEVELOPS OF THE CONCEPT OF AN ADAPTABLE AND FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTURE FOR HEDONISM. THE INHERENT PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE PROPOSED DESIGN HAS RECEDED TO BECOME FAR LESS PROMINENT IN THE DESIGN, INSTEAD A MORE ORGANIC AND FLEXIBLE FABRIC STRUCTURE HAS BECOME THE MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE DESIGN. THE FABRIC CREATES THE ATMOSPHERE IN, WHICH SPACE IS SITUATED, THE FABRIC IS NOW THE FUNDAMENTAL COMPONENT OF THE DESIGN.
