HYDROFLUX-CITY the arctic is one of the few areas where humanity could not yet set feet. Due to global warming more area get accesible and liveable in the regions of the polar circles.

Offering an enviroment that is under constang change and lighning conditions which are far from normal, the arctic region will definetly be a area of interest in the future. In fact, the „race“ for the arctic has already begun.

Considering not Because of the tabula-rasa conditions it offers the possibility to create and test a new kind of organization and building technology. the city is developed by six points of interest which grow together and create a field of organization. each point is connected with a highspeed transportation system

LOCATION the project is located in the northeast nodeof the masterplan which is mostly dedicated to research.

The project should create a transistion from the cityscape to sea and the landscape

SITEPLAN The building should create a continuous space which focusses on the transistion among different fields. The space should emphasize the feeling of this transistion.

CONCEPT Since our City is based a lot on research, my project focusses on how to create a building which emphacizes the transition from cityscape to sea and landscape and vice-versa. The goal was to create a continuous space which gives you different spatial qualities depending on where you are in the building. People who work and use the space there should get a building which constantly changes due to the different conditions in the environment. The behaviour of the building is the feedback of the outside and materializes that.

TYPOLOGY - - - -

enclosed spaces semiopen spaces open spaces public spaces

the building is a composition of this spaces and depending on the environmental conditions different spaces can be used and occupied.

Louvers

LAMELLAS the lammellas are driven by the wind and create energy throughout their movement with piezoelectrical elements

STRUCTURE the structure is a kinematic system driven by the change of aggregate of water. the 9% volume increase when freezing creates enough power to automatically open and close the shells

LIGHTSTRIPES the lights are embedded in the structure and get feeded by the power created by the lammellas. this gives the people inside a direct feedback of their environmental contidions
