INTRODUCTION TEXTILE INNOVATION STARTUP CENTER (TISC) is the future of the textile industries. This future Textile Industry is a true iconic gesture that responds to its renewal in terms of ETHICS, INNOVATION and SUSTAINABILITY. Retrofitting the industry, the “Urban Fabric” is a three-dimensional mesh envelope based on cell organisation in plants that combines farming, photovoltaic panels, metal, fibers, water and technology. This modulation from structure to plants, insulated to uninsulated, skin to nature, adapts to the seasons and reflects the environments of future activities. The radicalness of the project marks the starting point of a new revolution in this industry. The concept of building as a cycle is a new design language. The metal skeleton and the chimneys reflect the industrial history of the site. Variety and fluidity in the landscape offers different experiences in the site. The Urban Fabric gives maximum space in minimum architecture to express variations in use of the space. Its all about particles. Cells as nano particle, Seeds as particles, Water as particles and Fibers as particles >> All these particles play an important role in the “Building Design Cycle”. Cell organisation is the starting point of the mesh envelope design. Seeds are the points on the mesh that gradually forms the skin of the mesh. Water controls the micro climate and fibers become a part of the structure. The book is divided into two sections. Section 1 is “Research” that lead us to TISC and Section 2 is “Concept and Design” that lead us to TISC Building. IaaC MAA_01

RESEARCH

Energy Crisis, Environment Crisis, Economy Crisis...... We are in a era of Global Crisis. This section of the book explains “The Problems” related to Energy, Environment, Economy and Delocalization. Energy problems in terms if international transfers and consumption by different sectors and specially industries and the impact of energy consumption and production on the environment. Co2 emissions, air pollution, water pollution, global warming..... are just a few environmental problems. The price of energy and food is climbing, unemployment remains high, the housing market has tanked, consumer and government debt is soaring, and the recovery is slowing. Facing the prospect of a second collapse of the global economy, humanity is desperate for a sustainable economic game plan to take us into the future. The concept of Delocalization for lower costs is keeping the World away from innovation and worsening the problems related to energy, environment and economy. There is a need to create a new economic paradigm that can transform the world. “The Third Industrial Revolution” by Jeremy Rifkin is that paradigm.[Details on page 16] IaaC MAA_01

PROBLEMS ENERGY

“LATERAL POWER” will ensure that we enjoy our future and prepare a happy one for our children. To get energy into any kind of building it has to go to a whole process of transfer and distribution. While its being produced in big scale in centralized plants it has to be converted into useful quantities for the population. This process makes it difficult to know where the energy that you are consuming is coming from, and how is it being produced. There is an aparent measure of your consumption of energy that will never accord to your real consumption, because it has to go into so many procedures that it is raising and the price to get into your home, and you end paying the whole chain of events. The Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure, is a ‘renaissance’ of small and medium-size enterprises, and producers and consumers cooperatives. The big companies that survive, they will transform their role and they will be aggregates of networks, because they have the logistical reach..

Energy Consumption Subdivision

The future of energy is where consumption will be the energy produced and needed, there will be no middle-process in between, so that will guarantee a better, local and sustainable consumption. Columns for the 3rd industrial revolution: 1)Transition to renewable energy. 2) Transformation of buildings into micro power plants that bring and empowered the energy in each site. 3) hydrogen technology and others systems of energetic storage in every building and in the infrastructure. 4)Internet energy shared network system. 5)Transition to motorized vehicles with electric power or batteries that are part of the network.

Internet revolution converges with the new distributed energy revolution to create a nervous system for this infrastructure. So when millions and millions of buildings in Europe are collecting their own green energy on-site, storing it in hydrogen, like we store media in digital, then if you don’t need some of that electricity, your software can program it so you can sell your electricity across the electricity Internet, (with what we call) a smart grid, from the Irish sea to the edge of eastern Europe. Just like we create our own information, store it in digital, share it online.

ENVIRONMENT


PROBLEMS ENVIRONMENT

The several enviromental desasters caused by human has been underestimated, pretending they were always there and that the human hand have nothing to do with them. Also letting them happend without any strict and rigourus supervision. Many of the biggest and rihest business in the globe are involved in practices that causes several damaged to the health of the enviroment and all the spiecies living on it. By understanding the greatest enviromental problems, we can make the relation between the cause and the effect so that the way of thinking the project is in total relation with the local and global problems. A series of enverimental damages were studied included co2 emisions, pollution in soil and water.

Our oil deppendant industry and economy is driving big business into unethical and pollutant practices in order to get more profits. The understanding of the economy helped us define the way the project should be thought about. By research the economical factors that driven europe and the world not only in a late economic crisis but also understandig that many of the practices that we take for granted have been commited for many years and still, beside the impact in the planet we, as a human species, still make things in the wrong way. One of the site greatest fact in hsitory is the one that it used to be a strong textile factor, what happened to the industry? By crossing information between innovation, employement, payments etc.. we can understand what has happened in the last decades.

PROBLEMS DELOCALIZATION

In the 80’s the global management consulting firm McKinsey made a new territorial reorganization to canalize the productive delocalisation, as part of a research for a number of multinational companies that were facing de decrease of their benefits and needed to extend to other territories. This new reorganization included Pacific-Asia, Oceania, Middle East (mainly oil producer’s countries). But it became relevant in the 90‘s and is one of the pillars of the globalization process. * Low cost of labor force. * Less strict laws for the protection of the environment, com bating pollution, disruption of land, etc. * Flexible work conditions, that allow less security regulations, increased working hours, etc.

Consequences * Rising unemployment in the country of origin. * Creation of low quality employment in the destination country. * Pollution and destruction of the environment, caused by the lack environmental regulations and sensibility to evaluate properly the damage. Resulting in droughts, desertification, abuse in exploitation of resources, waste increments, etc. * “Domino effect� between companies, in order to compete with the delocalized company must imitate the method. * Quality reduction in the final product, made by low-qualified workers or under bad labor conditions. * Decreasing of the product price in the inner market and possibility of wages increment due to the cost reduction. * Labor exploitation.

INDUSTRY

Industries are the driving forces of our Nation. The above studies drove our attention to “Industries�. All the industries are facing problems related to energy, environment, economy and delocalization. There is a need for innovation and the shift of industries to knowledge based economy has become mandatory. We studied two main industries- Food and Textile Industry. Taking the case specific of our site located in Poblenou district of Barcelona, Spain we made deeper studies for textile industry and decided to retrofit this Industry.

“IF WE FAIL TO PROTECT THE FARMING PROFESSION, IT WILL BECOME EXTINCT.” -SLOW FOOD SPAIN

IN THE NAME OF PRODUCTIVITY, OUR LIVES HAS BEEN MODIFIED, REPRESENTING IN MANY CASES A THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND LANDSCAPE. AND IT IS THROUGH THE CULTURE AND NOT THROUGH ITS IMPOVERISHMENT, THAT THE PROGRESS COULD BEGIN WITH AN INTERCHANGE OF HISTORY, KNOWLEDGE AND PROJECTS. THE INDUSTRIAL AGRIFOOD MODEL THAT HAS ASSERTED ITSELF OVER THE LAST FIFTY YEARS IS ONE OF THE CAUSES OF THE MOST SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE CRISES EVER EXPERIENCED BY HUMANITY.

ON THE ONE HAND, INSOFAR AS THEY WERE CONSIDERED INEXTINGUISHABLE, NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER, LAND, FORESTS AND WOODS HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED INDISCRIMINATELY, AND HAVE HENCE DETERIORATED IRREVERSIBLY. ON THE OTHER, INDUSTRIAL FARMING HAS MADE AN INCREASINGLY UNBRIDLED USE OF INPUTS OF FOSSIL ORIGIN, SUCH AS CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS, PESTICIDES AND PLASTICS.

INDUSTRY TEXTILE

DEPENDING ON THE AREA, YOU CAN FIND A HUGE VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES IN CATALUNYA. DURING THE 20TH CENTURY, OBE OF THE MOST POPULAR INDUSTRIES WAS TEXTILE, BUT NOW IT HAS ALMOST DISAPPEARED TEXTILE INDUSTRY HAS BECOME A FOCAL POINT IN MANY COUNTRIES IN NOWADAYS. SPANISH ACTIVITY IN THE TEXTILE-CLOTHING INDUSTRY SECTOR REPRESENTS A TENTH OF THE WHOLE OF EUROPE AND ITS THE FIFTH AMONG THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY. IN SPAIN, THE ARE 7,500 COMPANIES IN THIS SECTOR, PROVIDING AROUND 5 PERCENT OF THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT. THE TEXTILE SECTOR HAS A PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT IN CATALAN INDUSTRY. IT IS ESTIMATED AS REPRESENTING 8% OF INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTION AND 14% OF THE INDUSTRIAL OCCUPATION. IN RECENT YEARS. THE CATALAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY HAS EXPERIENCED UPHEAVAL.

The Third Industrial Revolution Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful “Third Industrial Revolution.” He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an “energy internet,” just like we now create and share information online. Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of businesses and millions of jobs, and usher in a fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to cpower, that will impact the way we conduct business, govern society, educate our children, and engage in civic life. Rifkin’s vision is already gaining traction in the international community. The European Union Parliament has issued a formal declaration calling for its implementation, and other nations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, are quickly preparing their own initiatives for the transition into the new economic paradigm. The Third Industrial Revolution is an insider’s account of the next great economic era, including a look into the personalities and players — heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGOs — who are pioneering its implementation around the world.

The five pillars Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure are: Shifting to Renewable Energy: Renewable forms of energy— solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, ocean waves, and biomass— make up the first of the five pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution. While these energies still account for a small percentage of the global energy mix, they are growing rapidly as governments mandate targets and benchmarks for their widespread introduction into the market in spite of an almost total absence of cost-effectiveness or broad applicability, and their falling costs (due almost entirely to government tax-funding to hide costs) make them increasingly competitive in a political environment focused on believing in GREEN. Buildings as Power Plants: New technological breakthroughs make it possible, for the first time, to design and construct buildings that create all of their own energy from locally available renewable energy sources, allowing us to reconceptualize the future of buildings as “power plants”. The commercial and economic implications are vast and far reaching for the real estate industry and, for that matter, Europe and the world. In 25 years from now, millions of buildings – homes, offices, shopping malls, industrial and technology parks – will be constructed to serve as both “power plants” and habitats. These buildings will collect and generate energy locally from the sun, wind, garbage, agricultural and forestry waste, ocean waves and tides, hydro and geothermal– enough energy to provide for their own power needs as well as surplus energy that can be shared. Deploying Hydrogen and other storage technologies in every building and throughout the infrastructure to store intermittent energies. To maximize renewable energy and to minimize cost it will be necessary to develop storage methods that facilitate the conversion of intermit-

tent supplies of these energy sources into reliable assets. Batteries, differentiated water pumping, and other media, can provide limited storage capacity. There is, however, one storage medium that is widely available and can be relatively efficient. Hydrogen is the universal medium that “stores” all forms of renewable energy to assure that a stable and reliable supply is available for power generation and, equally important, for transport. Using Internet technology to transform the power grid of every continent into an energy sharing intergrid that acts just like the Internet. The reconfiguration of the world’s power grid, along the lines of the internet, allowing businesses and homeowners to produce their own energy and share it with each other, is just now being tested by power companies in Europe. The new smart grids or intergrids will revolutionize the way electricity is produced and delivered. Millions of existing and new buildings—homes, offices, factories—will be converted or built to serve as “positive power plants” that can capture local renewable energy—solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, hydro, and ocean waves—to create electricity to power the buildings, while sharing the surplus power with others across smart intergrids, just like we now produce our own information and share it with each other across the Internet. Transitioning the transport fleet to electric, plug in and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell electricity on a smart continental interactive power grid. The electricity we produce in our buildings from renewable energy will also be used to power electric plug-in cars or to create hydrogen to power fuel cell vehicles. The electric plug in vehicles, in turn, will also serve as portable power plants that can sell electricity back to the main grid.

CONCEPT

Architecture is not only about buildings, is about a structure in behaviour, in mind-shaping, in social spaces, designing systems in activities and innovation. That is why we decided to embrace multidisciplinary actions in this project. ACTIVISM We are architects/activists, we want people to know what is going on, we want to be part of the era of information, we want to communicate the problems of the world and to collaborate to find solutions. TEXTILES We’ll explain the actual toxic situation of textiles, highlighting the toxic components that we are using and that are contaminating our bodies, our environment and our society. BUILDING In this part we want to show you the conception of the project, where we summarize the theoretical part with the physical space.

Cradle to Cradle Theory Cradle to Cradle design (also referred to as Cradle to Cradle, C2C, cradle 2 cradle, or regenerative design) is a biomimetic approach to the design of products and systems. It models human industry on nature’s processes viewing materials as nutrients circulating in healthy, safe metabolisms. It suggests that industry must protect and enrich ecosystems and nature’s biological metabolism while also maintaining a safe, productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and technical nutrients. Put simply, it is a holistic economic, industrial and social framework that seeks to create systems that are not only efficient but also essentially waste free. The model in its broadest sense is not limited to industrial design and manufacturing; it can be applied to many aspects of human civilization such as urban environments, buildings, economics and social systems. In the cradle to cradle model, all materials used in industrial or commercial processes—such as metals, fibers, dyes—fall into one of two categories: “technical” or “biological” nutrients. Technical nutrients are strictly limited to non-toxic, non-harmful synthetic materials that have no negative effects on the natural environment; they can be used in continuous cycles as the same product without losing their integrity or quality. In this manner these materials can be used over and over again instead of being “downcycled” into lesser products, ultimately becoming waste.

IaaC

MAA_01

Biological Nutrients are organic materials that, once used, can be disposed of in any natural environment and decompose into the soil, providing food for small life forms without affecting the natural environment. This is dependent on the ecology of the region; for example, organic material from one country or landmass may be harmful to the ecology of another country or landmass.

Structure Initially defined by McDonough and Braungart, the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute’s five certification criteria are: Material health, which involves identifying the chemical composition of the materials that make up the product. Particularly hazardous materials (e.g. heavy metals, pigments, halogen compounds etc.) have to be reported whatever the concentration, and other materials reported where they exceed 100 ppm. For wood, the forest source is required. The risk for each material is assessed against criteria and eventually ranked on a scale with green being materials of low risk, yellow being those with moderate risk but are acceptable to continue to use, and red for materials that have high risk and need to be phased out. Grey for materials with incomplete data. The method uses the term ‘risk’ in the sense of hazard (as opposed to consequence and likelihood). Material reutilization, which is about recovery and recycling at the end of product life. Assessment of energy required for production, which for the highest level of certification needs to be based on at least 50% renewable energy for all parts and subassemblies. Water, particularly usage and discharge quality. Social responsibility, which assesses fair labor practices.

Most of these chemicals has been firbidden by the European Union due to harmful effects for the enviroment and humans, causing cancer in some cases. The catalogue is the comparisson between different kinds of fibers, where we have the ones produced under toxic processes and unethical behaviors on the left side, while on the right side are the ones with organic alternatives and procedures more according to the proposed manifesto. After having a catalogue of information and images, we selected the one that can grow in Barcelona, having in mind natural cycles conditions such as climate, solar radiation, water and other cycles that create a series of open self connected loops.

Effects: They persist in the environment It can accumulate in body tissue through the food chain. Once in the body, there is evidence that affect the liver. They act as hormone disrupters alternating levels of growth and reproduction hormones. 7) Chlorobenzenes Use: In dyes and as chemical intermediates. Effects: Affections to the liver, thyroid and central nervous system. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), the most toxic chemical substance and persistent in this group. It also acts as a hormone disruptor. 8) Chlorinated Solvents Is a substance that depletes the ozone layer and may persist in the environment. Use: Are used in textile fabrication to dissolve other substances during the manufacture and laundering of fabrics. Effects: Affect the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. Since 2008, the EU has severely restricted the use of ECT in both products and textile washing.

9) Chlorophenols Use: Group of chemicals which are used as biocides in a wide range of applications, from pesticides to textiles and wood preservatives. Effects: Highly toxic to humans and can affect many organs. It is also highly toxic to aquatic organisms. The EU banned the production of products containing PCP in 1991 and now restric ting the sale and use of all products containing this substance.

10) Short-chain chlorinated paraffins Use: Are used as flame retardants for textile and leather finishing. Effects: They are highly toxic to aquatic organisms, do not readily degra de in the environment and have a high potential to accumulate in living organisms.

11) Heavy metals: cadmium, lead, mercury and chromium (VI) Use: They have been used in certain dyes and pigments. Chromium (VI) is used in certain processes in the textile and leather tanning. Effects: These metals can accumulate in the body over time and are highly toxic, irreversible effects, including damage to the ner vous system (lead and mercury) or kidney (cadmium). Cadmium is also associated with cancer diseases.

It needs at least 1 inch of water every 10 days. To ensure that the plants have enough water, the soil needs to be soaked every 10 days, from spring to late fall. Omit watering for 10 days after heavy or prolonged rains.

Putting into soil decomposition: putting original bamboo fiber or original bamboo products into soil, it will be 100% biodegraded after 8-10months

It has been estimated that rainfall of 15 to 20 cm or an equivalent amount of irrigation is sufficient for normal crop. The optimum soil moisture for the potato crop is 65 to 80 percent the field capacity.

100% Biodegradable

It requires a lot of moisture. The crop needs 300-400 mm of rainfall equivalent. It is important to make use of early soil moisture and to obtain early ground cover to reduce surface evaporation in case of no rain. About half of this moisture is required during flowering and seed set in order to produce maximum grain yields.

100% Biodegradable

A grapevine needs around 700 mm of water for substance during the growing season.

The main idea is to make this building the future of Textile Industries. This is a prototype created for Barcelona, Spain. Using the same concepts other prototypes can be created to replicate the model all around the world and retrofit the Textile Industry. Studies were made on cell organization in plants. Urban farming being the essential part of the program the building design reflects the same. The main idea is to do urban farming with natural patterns. With the cell organization we have the distribution of seeds and the points of our mesh envelope- The Urban Fabric. The form and layers of the mesh are defined by The cycles (natural, technical, social and the building design cycle). The solar analysis defines areas for the location of different crops. The end product is the new model that will bring revolution in this Industry.

In order to make a shift in the industry, the development model has to change and so is the managment of natural resources. Right now the textile industry is one of the most water pollutants in the planet. With the project, the idea is to change the industrial process, beggenig with the raw material. This new organic materials has to be grown according to their specific natural processes and cycles, so the building has to respond directly to these requirements. The building will use water, a lot of water! But it will use it in a clever and effective way, where it recolects water from different natural resources, like rain water, where in regular building is waster; also from the sea, the planet contains a high porcentage of salt water that is not fully which we dont take advantage due to the high price of desalinization. So by using the salt water in some crops and by inserting it into the microclimates of the buiding we will be able to get water in different states and qualities, rain, grey, lake, sea, salt. WATER!

The factory needs 40,000-60,000 ltrs of water for producing 20,000 pounds of textiles per day. There are different processes involved in producing the final piece of cloth. Each step needs water, for example processing plants into fibers, threading, bleaching, dyeing, sizing etc.

TEXTILE FACTORY

6 hectares of Agricultural land would need 150,000-240,000 ltrs of water per day. This amount is calculated taking in consideration the water requirements for Cotton, Hemp and Bamboo.

In order to achieve this quantity of water the building needs to act as a water plant. The agenda is to be self sufficient. The building needs to recycle and reuse the water. CRADLE TO CRADLE is the main principle. So whatever waste the building produces it recycle and reuses that waste water. The water also that the building uses is either sea water, rain water or grey water from the surroundings.
