Here we go again
Criterias of a suitable place for the hive are an up structure to hang and the proximity of resources.
Bees construct the hive shape by shape with their wax, and begin to hold resources (pollens, nectar)
If the hive is whealthy enough, the bees will extend it creating new shape or enlarging existing ones.
The hive is too prosperous one queen will fly away with the half of bees to establish a new hive.
The hives share the territory and the cycle begins again, development is now faster.
bee’s development behaviour explorations
By sharing common place (security through proximity) Complex and strong way to communicate (Waggle dance) (focused on resources)
Each individual has its place and is a part of the community Social mechanism for the bee’s survival - COMMON GOAL
What is the recieve of bee community?
Compromise between individual work (self contribution - search for food) and social time (sharing honey)
Very strong organization with differnents roles (queen, nurse, work, guardian)
bee’s social behaviour explorations
Hive’s geometric form - short scale
Hive’s organic form - large scale
Hexagon as optimization of resources and space Individual modules making the all. Housing modules are the pieces of structure of the hive (volume + structural features)
Despite a geometric short scale arrangement large scale is fluent and more organic Hive is organized in parallel honeycombs. Between them an empty space (access to the cells, air flows)
Honeycombs Sandwiches
Shape organization
Structural rigidity
Variations of intensity of the constructed system permit lot of permeability
Used against swinging Support well compression
hive organization explorations
The hive’s territorial ressources - identities as project materials Historic roads Two roads, two architectural influences
Morphology
Transversal dominance (creek) Rainwater management fails sometimes (floods)
Dry summers Yellow meadows and reccurent fires (attitude’s influences as pumps, reservoirs)
bee’s resources management explorations
bee’s resources management explorations
