AUTONOMOUS INFRASTRUCTURES URBAN MODEL FOR A LOCALIZED ENERGY PRODUCTION
ABDEL HALIM CHEHAB (MArch) - MOHAMAD MAKKOUK (MArch)
PREMISE. The dissertation investigates the possibility of generating a new urban model based on the concept of local energy production in extreme climatic conditions. The model draws its processes from existing biological systems and seeks to integrate all types of infra-structural subsets. By relying on local modes of harnessing energy, the system produces emergent urban clusters. The research is intended to propose a new and efficient model of urbanism that allows cities to better harness the energy provided from local and renewable resources.
