MINISTRY OF COMMON GOOD 公益省 Location: Paris, FRANCE Type: Uchronic mixed-use Mete Kutlu, Julien Guillaume, Paul Lengereau Existing Baths of Caracalla
Humanist (proposition) Ministry of Common Good is a project evolved in three stages in the studio “City and Utopia” with this years theme the “crowd”: Modification of an existing building conceived to house big crowds, creating a phalanstère (building for a Utopian society) based on the modification and finally adapting the phalanstère to the site. MCG’s evolution starts from the Baths of Caracalla in Rome built in 216. It is conceived through a fiction. It is a uchronic project, meaning it is for a fictional society situated in an alternative hypothetical history line. After studying the “Baths of Caracalla”, we’ve seen that they are much more than simple baths. They are the imperial institutions for creating illusory and partial sentiment of equality between the citizens, as both slaves and top notches are welcome. From this conclusion, we elaborated a fiction “Competition of Caracalla” in order to make our modifications. The disliked Caracalla organizes a competition to build a bath which will let him gain the favour of his people. The three finalists are our 3 modification: Anarchist, humanist and imposed utopia. Each modification aims to create a different kind of crowd by breaking, intensifying or inversing the existing bath ritual which deludes the people into a world of temporary equality and joy.

The second stage of our project is the Phalanstère Res Publica, meaning “public things”. It is a “uchronia” imagined in 216 AD. It is for an alternative Roman society based on equality and collectivity. The original baths create temporary equality through the collective activity of bathing. In Res Publica, the collectivity of baths are taken to the extreme and applied to all aspects of daily life. There is no private life, nor private property. There is a single continuous space (ring) for each activity which are organized in panopticon style. Furthermore, we also imagine an alternative architectural style for this fictional egalitarian society. This phalanstère is called Res Publica Composite. Its composite architecture comes from the assembling of different architectural styles inspired from the Indian pit wells and the Ottoman mosques.

The final stage of our project is the Ministry of Common Good. It’s an adaptation of our phalanstère to the present time and the given site, the Bastille Square. Following the ideas of Jeremy Rifkin and the spreading movement of “sharing economy”, we create a fiction where the people of France, decides to have a ministry dedicated to research about a collective way of living. Any one can be a minister (among 2000 others) for a period. At MCG, they follow a collective lifestyle and work as minister thanks to their experiences of a new way of life. All of the offices look towards the square. The square is for everyone to show directly their appreciation or dislike to the ministers while they work. Below the square is the parliament where they decide on a law. Thus, the manifestations take place right above the parliament.

SENSATION MACHINE センセーションマシン Location: Paris, FRANCE Type: Mixed-use Mete Kutlu, Adriano Callichio, Chloé Zimmerman
Can we make architecture from the invisible fluids present in space? The space we live in is not just a void. It’s composed of invisible fluids which exist and act around us, such as the sound, the wind, the heat, the humidity and the solar radiations. The project’s objective is not to control these fluids in order to have the best conditions of comfort or the zero sensation of neither cold nor warm. It is rather the conception and imagination of an architecture based on the very human spatial sensations by playing with them, increasing and reducing them and by modulating them. The Sensation Machine goes far beyond the simplistic idea of controling the ambiances which basically corresponds to the justification of preconcieved opinions by the means of sophisticated mesuring softwares. It is the development of a completely new methodology which resulted in this project. Through the invention and production of various tools and models, the fluids are treated as concrete materials just like steel and brick.

Calorie Balance:
Fluid Cube:
Sensation Machine uses the calories of the visitors to define the capacity of each space. It has a mixed-use program with sports center and restoration area. The total sum of visitors’ calories lost in the sports center and earned in the restoration area are equal to 0.
In search of a true architecture of fluids in the context of sustainable development, we’ve developed the Fluid Cube. Instead of creating spatial organizations based on the logic of functions, we organized them according to the sensations we want to have.
The Calorie Balance is a tool that we created to achieve this result. First, the lost and gained calorie values are calculated for an average person at each space such as the fitness area and cafeteria. According to these values, a plate of balance is made on which different distances represent different areas in the building. Every ball represents a unit of person.
A single plan is selected for each one of the four categories (humidity, temperature, sound and lightning) which were previously discovered through various templates. Then, a transparent plate with a point grid and balls representing the spaces are made for each one of them. The four physical models of plans are superposed in order to decide on a single final plan based on the differences and intersections.

TALKING CITY
トーキング·シティ Location: Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, FRANCE Type: Urban
3 4
Individual project Talking City is a manifesto-project on contemporary urban noise pollution. Its objective is to go beyond the biased opinions and explore various efficient and realistic possibilities in urban noise design starting by analyzing what kind of an influence the sounds and the noise have had on the perception of urban space throughout history. CITY OF FLUX The project’s location, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, is a city of flux. The city center is stressed with the traffic of the Seine, the National Road between Milan and Paris, the railroads and the aerodrome of the Orly Airport. As a result, the city suffers at different levels from all these uncontrolled noise sources.

NOISE IS GOOD! Instead of trying to eliminate them at a very large scale, Talking City offers a more realistic approach by using the characteristic sounds of the city for its own well-being. Contrary to what architects are thinking about the noise today, it is neither a negative result of modernity nor an obstacle of the design process. It is an essential part of our society and a very strong and mystical way of perceiving the space. Thus, It is a chance and an advantage to animate the city and strengthen its identity. The project aims to transform the perception of the city from being disturbing and noisy into a city that communicates with its inhabitants.
建築についての考察 トーキング·シティ
STRATEGY Through a very thorough analysis of how noise and sound are diffusing in VSG, 10 strategic parts of the city is identified for the installation of punctual interventions that creates a panorama of sound. These interventions use the noise and the sound of their environments in order to create functional and sensational spaces. Thus, the inhabitants are able to form new audible memories and images for each neighborhood through these sound interventions.

MAPPING THE NOISE
NOIR 14%
Using the data offered by the city mayor combined with the measurements done with a sound level meter by myself, the different noise sources in VSG are analyzed through three maps. The principal noise sources are cars, trains and airplanes. The trains and the cars create a South-North oriented noise axis whereas the air planes create a West-East oriented one. Thus, the noise in VSG is propagated over the land in various directions, densities and compositions.
GRIS 38%
BLANC 2%
BLEU 9%
VIOLET 2%
ORANGE 5% JAUNE 9% VERT 11%
MARRON 2% ROUGE 8%
COLOR & WORD INTERVIEW Two interviews with 80 inhabitants of VSG is realized. At first, they were asked a single word that would describe their city. 75% of the responses were negative adjectives such as “shit”, “dirty” and “garbage”. Then, they were asked with which color they would associate VSG. More than half of the people replied as VSG being colorless, black or gray.
Villeneuve-Saint-Georges is a unique city with a complex and special noise identity. In order to understand this complex noise character of the city, a system of analysis is developed through the noise maps I drew. The system superposes different noise panoramas firstly two by two and then all of them. At the center of this infographic drawing, is the superposition of the three noise maps of trains, cars and airplanes. It shows the 225 zones of different noise mixture due to the transportation lines. Lastly, 10 intervention points are defined with different noise identities based on this analysis. Sound artists are invited to build their various installations. The main idea is to use the local existing noise character of each different space to create a stronger identity.
