SOCIAL INNOVATION INCUBATOR SELF-SUFFICIENT BUILDINGS


A self sufficient building has to be a system of co-relationships that gather together an architectural object with answers in economic, technological and social subjects. The Social Innovation Incubator, grows within the actual situation and gives an optional solution over the social and economic issue that the unemployed professionals with capability to work are facing. The architectural program was developed by understanding a variety of innovative educational methods and giving the option to the users (in the case of our project, learners and participants) to develop new skills and prepare them to be ready for the change of matrix that the industry is facing.

INTRODUCTION

Self - sufficience and responsiveness A self sufficient building has to be a system of co-relationships that gather together an architectural object with answers in economic, technological and social subjects. The Social Innovation Incubator grows within the actual situation and gives an optional solution over the social and economic issues that the unemployed professionals with capability to work are facing. The architectural program was developed by understanding a variety of innovative educational methods and giving the option to the users (in the case of our project, learners and participants) to develop new skills and prepare them to be ready for the change of matrix that the industry is facing. The Social Innovation Incubator, as an architecture proposal, is embedded within the context information by using the high salinity rate of the Mediterranean sea IaaC MAA_01

and adapting the volume with the environmental characteristics. The shape its based on the mineral growth analysis understanding the aggregation as a the main concept, basing the volume with the halite (salt crystal) growths and how these mineral adapts over different configurations. Also, its use the Mediterranean sea salinity as a power tool to feed the sense of the building, using self sufficient sensor modules that release signals to improve the performance of the system and save energy by responding to the climate situation.

RESEARCH

Introduction

The self sufficient building studio starts with the logic of understanding and embracing three main topics: Actual situation, architecture program and multi scalar design. Since the beginning, the research started driven by these topics in parallel with the objective of mixing in the project together and obtain by these an hybrid building powered conceptually. By the analysis of the actual situation, from the social to the economical matters, we discovered an space to intervene with the architectural program and the design, and give optional answers to the crisis situation. It was proposed through architecture, the possibility of change the state and the reality of the habitants that are around the site. With these distributed and particular interventions, that propose a systematic change, are the ones that would hack the actual system and twist the the reality to give opportunities to the people.

On the other hand, architectural design now its not just a matter of constructing and proposing buildings, with the digital tools and the accessibility to the information, our profession is facing a change of paradigm were the labor of the architect its to design from the smaller details to the building, the access to digital fabrication generate the possibility of going deeper the details of the product and the pieces. The research aims to understand a pallet of topics between physics, biology, technology and art and goes deeper to the particles of actual examples that would trigger technologic solutions to the final proposal.

The Site

The project is developed in a site located in Sant Adriá de Bésos, the smalllest municipality of Barcelona. It is situated at the mouth of river Besòs and has close ties with the neighbouring cities of Barcelona, Badalona and Santa Coloma de Gramenet, forming a uniform urban area within Barcelona metropolitan area.

[ Sant Adriá del Bésos ] Population: 34.482 inhabitants Area: 3.8 km2 Density: 9.026,7 inhab/km2

Sant Adriá del Bésos possess two main characteristics that define it. In one hand, during the years, it has experienced several massive migration flows attracted by the important industrialisation of the area during the last century. Therefore there is a high population density in neighborhood as La Mina that presents increasing social and economic issues. On the other hand, it has been subject of various major interventions in the urban public space such as the Unversal Forum of Cultures in 2004, and it has also been scenario of important projects and developments by prestigious companies and architects such as the Forum Building, Parc Diagonal Mar and the Telefónica Tower, among others. These massive developments represent the significant investment of the public and private sectors in this area which is not reflected in the use of the public space that reminds empty. The site is situated right in the middle of these opposite realities where housing, commerce, industry and services converge. It is also next to the new Campus of the Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya (UPC) that is under construction. Another important fact of the site is its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, only 600 meters from the shore. The sourronding areas present evidence of the high salinity of the sea where interesting salinity formations can be found.

Investment and the Public Space Economic, social and urban renovation strategy

In the urban morphology of the Barcelona City Plan, the structured grid of the Eixample de Cerd谩 allows the existence of programatic diversity. This characteristic is a key factor in the culmination of the transformation process of the most affected parts of the city and the integration of the 22@ project with the ret of the city. This plan points out the strategy of renovation of the Llevant of Barcelona where we nd the most important operations: *Sant Andreu-Sagrera Plan *Urban develpment of Plaza de las Gl贸ries *Infraestructures asociated to the renovation of Bes贸s. Including projects of neigborhood renovation, new commercial and cultural 12 projects such as new urban spaces.

La Mina Social Emergency

La Mina neighbourhood is situated in Sant Adrià de Besòs and was built in the 1970s to offer new housing opportunities for populations living in the different slum neighbourhoods of Barcelona. However, physical, economic, cultural and social disparities exist in La Mina. In the 1980s-1990s the first intervention plans to ameliorate the social situation were introduced but did not have enough capacity to respond to the long-term issues in the neighbourhood. In September 2000, a Consortium was established, introducing a Transformation Plan based on urban and social revitalisation. Currently, La Mina has over 500 inhabitants per hectare, much higher than the average of Sant Adriå (319) or Barcelona (221). The populations are mainly composed of immigrants from different countries that live together in a difficult environment for a harmonic social relationship. Besides this situation, La Mina presents damage to the environment due to the proximity to the industry, social exclusion, drug addiction, criminal record, insecurity and violence. Damage to the public space is due to vandalism.

Density In 1970 over 15,000 people were occupying a total of 2,721 social houses and the population has decreased and increased irregularly in the last years always maintaining a high number of inhabitants per squared km. In the present, the density of La Mina overpasses the one of Sant Adriá de Besós and Barcelona with a 17.8%.

Population Nowadays, La Mina shelters 9,421 residents from which 31% are 25 to 45 years old and 24% is under 16. This talks about a young population growing in the same environment of scarcity. Also, the majority of the population of La Mina is foreign. Almost 10% comes from Pakistán, Morocco and China.

Education About 18% of the residents of this neighbourhood cannot read or write. This low level of instruction is correlated with a high rate of scholar failure and truancy. 40% of students drop off High School, while 10% to 15% give up at primary school. Only 0.3% has obtained an university degree. As a result, La Mina’s population grows unqualified and unprofessional and increases the high unemployment rate that already affects the area. 2012-2013

Unemployment Although 74% of the population of La Mina is economically active, only 32% works. The occupancy rate is very low (29.1%) for reasons mainly related to incapacities associated to drug addiction and, on an opposite direction, many residents have become dependent on social programs developed by the governmental administrations. In spite of efforts to improve the area, La Mina has recently been devastated by the crisis, becoming one of the most precarious neighbourhood s of Catalonia.

The Situation The Euro - Area Economy

The euro is the currency of 17 of the EU’s 27 Member States. All the others are expected to adopt the euro once they meet the conditions for doing so – except for Denmark and the United Kingdom, which negotiated an opt-out from monetary union in the 1992 Treaty on European Union (the Maastricht Treaty). They may still join at a time of their choosing. The Maastricht Treaty enshrined the goal of a single currency and set out the conditions for joining. These are the ‘Maastricht criteria’ or ‘convergence criteria’, designed to ensure the smooth functioning of monetary union. In addition to some legal requirements, most notably an independent central bank, the Maastricht criteria are: • Price stability (inflation no more than 1.5 percentage points above the three best performing Member States) • Sound and sustainable public finances - Government deficit in principle no more than 3% of GDP - Government debt no more than 60% of GDP or approaching that level • Durability of convergence (long-term interest rates no more than 2 percentage points above the three best 36

performers in terms of price stability) • Exchange rate stability (two years within ERM II without severe tensions). ERM II allows the exchange rates of participating EU currencies to fluctuate against the euro within fixed margins above and below a central rate. The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) The SGP states that government deficits and debt should be less than 3% and less than 60% of GDP respectively. On this basis, the Commission monitors fiscal policy and public finances in Member States both inside and outside the euro area. This rule-based framework thus helps promote fiscal discipline in the EU.

KBE Knowledge-based Economy

Public policies for science, technology and innovation have always been aimed primarily at creating and diffusing knowledge. In recent years such policies have attracted increasing attention as a result of claims that knowledge-intensive industries are now at the core of growth, and that we are now entering a new type of knowledge-driven economy or even a completely new form of ‘knowledge society’. The knowledge economy. There are many who argue that we are moving towards a new ‘knowledge-based economy’ or ‘knowledge society’, in which the role and significance of knowledge as an input to economic processes has fundamentally changed. In some cases it is argued that this rests on advances in information technology that are leading to a ‘paradigm shift’. The idea here seems to be that there are basic changes in economic functioning, and changes in the

economic rules of the game, for both business and policymakers. Proponents of such views can be found in business, where the ‘new paradigm’ has been held to justify previously high levels of stock prices in ICT and Internetrelated companies, as well as in policy-making, and in innovation analysis. But what does it mean to speak of the ’knowledge economy? At the outset, it must be said that there is no coherent definition, let alone theoretical concept, of this term: it is at best a widely-used metaphor, rather than a clear concept. The OECD has spoken of knowledge based economies in very general terms, as meaning “those which are directly based on the production, distribution and use of knowledge and information”.2 This definition is a good example of the problems of the term, for it seems to cover everything and nothing: all economies are in some way based on knowledge, but it is hard to think that any are directly based on knowledge, if that means the production and distribution of knowledge and information products. The Knowledge Economy Indicators Knowledge Based Economy (KBE) includes performance for innovation (capabilities and output) and globalization (impact of globalization on work and life).Both innovation and the drivers of a KBE require a broad set of

skills and capabilities. The indicators for a KBE need to consider reading and writing as important as mathematics and science. The transition of work and life brought about by the KBE requires networking, problem solving and communication skills, from writing to marketing. •Production and diffusion of ICTs. ICT is the main technology underlying the KBE and increases in productivity. •Human resources, skills and creativity. These indicators represent the primary set of indicators needed to develop composite indicators on the human potential of a nation. These indicators reveal the creative and absorptive capacity of a work force. •Knowledge production and diffusion. This group includes many of the traditional indicators of R&D and knowledge production. They provide us with sound trend data and with indicators to develop composite measures of globalization and competitiveness. •Innovation, entrepreneurship and creative destruction. These indicators tell us about the churn and change brought about by ICTs and globalizing knowledge economies. They cover firm behavior and aspects of innovation including demand for innovative products, financing and market innovation. The share of the population in specific age cohorts can provide insights into the demand for innovative products.

Human Capital The Lisbon Strategy

The Lisbon Strategy, aka the Lisbon Agenda or Lisbon Process, was an action and development plan devised in 2000, for the economy of the European Union between 2000 and 2010.. Its aim was to make the EU “the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion”, by 2010.It was set out by the European Council in Lisbon in March 2000. The role of ICT One of the groundbreaking aspects of the Lisbon agenda was the appeal by the heads of European governments to businesses’ new sense of corporate social responsibility as an asset for Europe’s competitiveness goals, particularly through lifelong learning, enabling opportunity and social inclusion.

four key areas which reflect the importance of this call: • Internet Safety and Policy Leadership to address key societal challenges in the ICT sector such as online child safety, privacy, security and spam; • Responsible Business Practices to ensure integrity and transparency in how we conduct our business and to provide a healthy workplace environment to our employees; • Economic Opportunity to strengthen local economic development, growth, competitiveness and innovation, a priority which is at the heart of the Lisbon Agenda; • Digital Inclusion and Education to enable people, communities and nations to access the benefits of technology tools, skills and solutions through lifelong learning and education. Member states are strongly urged for reforms. They are required to improve (and not only increase) their investment in knowledge and in human capital through the provision of better education and skills to their citizens in a lifelong learning perspective.

The Third Industrial Revolution

by Jeremy Rifkin

The introduction of steam-powered technology into printing transformed the medium into the primary communication tool to manage the First Industrial Revolution. The steam printing machine increased the speed of printing and significantly reduced the cost. Print material proliferated in America and Europe, encouraging mass literacy for the first time in history. The advent of public schooling on both continents between the 1830s and 1890s created a print-literate workforce to organize the complex operations of a coal-powered, steamdriven rail and factory economy. In the 1900s, electrical communication converged with the oil-powered internal combustion engine, giving rise to the Second Industrial Revolution. The electrification of factories ushered in the era of mass-produced man-

ufactured goods, the most important being the automobile, altering the spatial and temporal dynamic of society. The demand for fuel made the United States the leading oil producer in the world. Families began relocating in new suburban communities, recasting social life and creating a communication grid to manage and market the far-flung activities of the oil economy and auto age. The theory argues that conjoining Internet communication technology and renewable energies is giving rise to a Third Industrial Revolution. The creation of a renewable energy regime, loaded by buildings, partially stored in the form of hydrogen, distributed via an energy internet—a smart intergrid—and connected to plug in zero emission transport, opens the door to a Third Industrial Revolution. The entire system is interactive, integrated and seamless. This interconnectedness is creating whole new opportunities for cross-industry relationships. The Third Industrial Revolution brings with it a new era of “distributed capitalism” in which millions of existing and new businesses and homeowners become energy players. In the process, it will create millions of green jobs, jump start a new technology revolution, and dramatically increase productivity, as well as mitigate climate change.

The five pillars

of the Third industrial Revolution

Like every other communication and energy infrastructure in history, the various pillars of a Third Industrial Revolution must be laid down simultaneously or the foundation will not hold. That’s because each pillar can only function in relationship to the others. The five pillars are: (1) shifting to renewable energy (2) transforming the building stock of every continent into micro-power plants to collect renewable energies on-site (3) deploying hydrogen and other storage technologies in every building and throughout the infrastructure to store intermittent energies (4) using Internet technology to transform the power grid of every continent into an energy-sharing intergrid

that acts just like the Internet (when millions of buildings are generating a small amount of energy locally, on-site, they can sell surplus back to the grid and share electricity with their continental neighbors) (5) transitioning the transport fleet to electric plugin and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell electricity on a smart, continental, interactive power grid. THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE FIVE PILLARS

The UE would need

between 2010 - 2050 on updating its electricity grid to accommodate an influx of renewable energy The critical need to integrate and harmonize these five pillars at every level and stage of development became clear to the European Union in the fall of 2010. The European Union is expected to draw one-third of its electricity from green sources by 2020. This means that the power grid must be digitized and made intelligent to handle the intermittent renewable energies being fed to the grid from tens of thousands of local producers of energy.

From Knowledge Economy to Knowledge Society The Evolution of Knowledge

The knowledge economy’s growth into the knowledge society hinges on the proliferation of knowledge-intensive communities. These communities are basically linked to scientific, technical and some business professions or projects. As has been said, they are characterized by their strong knowledge production and reproduction capabilities, a public or semi-public space for learning and exchange and, the intensive use of information technologies.

“Only when increasing numbers of communities displaying those very characteristics are formed across a wide array of cognitive fields will the knowledge so ciety become a reality rather than a vison of a possible future.” David & Foray (2002). Economic Fundamentals of the Knowledge Society.

A Soft Discontinuity

The Evolution of Knowledge

Not all of the competencies required for the knowledge economy are new – the soft-skills such as leadership, ability to work in teams, learning to learn, and communication and analytical skills have been a feature of the workforce for centuries.

“The knowledge economy represents a soft discontinuity from the past – it is not a “new” economy operating to a new set of economic laws.”

Notes de Prensa. (2011). Madrid: Instituto Nacional de Estadistica.

It appear to be a number of set requirements: teamwork, communication and learning skills. But these sorts of “soft skills“ can hardly be described as new. Indeed, though sidelined during the age of Fordism, they have always, throughout history, been crucial to the development and well-being of individuals in the world of work. 2012-2013

Innovation

Definition of innovation The process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value or for which customers will pay. To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an economical cost and must satisfy a specific need. Innovation involves deliberate application of information, imagination and initiative in deriving greater or different values from resources, and includes all processes by which new ideas are generated and converted into useful products. In business, innovation often results when ideas are applied by the company in order to further satisfy the needs and expectations of the customers. In a social context, innovation helps create new methods for alliance creation, joint venturing, flexible work hours, and creation of buyers’ purchasing power.* Definition of Innovation Activities Innovative activities are all kinds of scientific, technological, organizational, financial and trade, including investment in new knowledge, which actually or poten74

tially lead to the implementation of innovations. From this definition we can distinguish two types of innovation: technological innovation and non-technological innovations. Definition of technology innovation Technological innovations include products (goods or services) and new technological processes and significant technological improvements thereof. An innovation is considered as such when it has entered the market (product innovation) or used in the production process of goods or services (process innovation).

The unemployment registred a sharp drop of employees in the public and private sectors compensated by an increase in the number of self-employed. The labour market is rapidly, spurred by recent legislative iniciatives: more part-time jobs & lower percentage of employes with temporary contracts.

60% of employment is in the SMEs

The most notable feature of Spanish SMEs is their contribution to employment generation, occupying about 60% of the total workforce. And in particular, are the smaller companies that occupy a larger number of employees.

Training Innovation Stay Competitive

Training and development are important for all businesses and are particularly critical for small organizations. Experienced, competent people contribute to both the productivity and profitability of the company. Remaining competitive depends in large measure on ensuring that your workforce is trained and up to date with ever-changing skills and knowledge, especially in today’s global economy, in which keeping up with new methods is so important. While training and development can be expensive, it is still considered worthwhile in terms of achieving the long-term benefits of company and individual. it is still necessary to provide training; otherwise, companies discover how easy it is to fall behind both in terms of competence and meeting customers’ needs.

Halite Salt Chrystals behaviors Commonly known as rock salt, is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl). Halite forms isometric crystals. The mineral is typically colorless or white, but may also be light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow or gray depending on the amount and type of impurities. It commonly occurs with other evaporite deposit minerals such as several of the sulfates, halides, and borates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite

Taking into account the proximity of our site to the coast of the Mediterranea Sea, the salt could have several advantages for the building: it could define the material to use [so it doesn’t deteriorate or takes advantage of the salinity of the breeze], be the source of energy or even teach us from the crystalization processes and forms.

Productive workforce it’s also equal to socialize, collaborate, focus, relax and learn in healthy spaces. In the US companies there are expenses over the 80 millions of dollar for unhealthy and unproductive employees.

Top performing companies design their workplace to support all four modes. Employees at top-performing companies not only spend more time collaborating and learning, they consider that time more critical to job success than do their peers at average companies, who remain focus work-centered.

The Social Innovation Incubator plans in short, medium and long term, combining strategies to move forward productive projects in different levels. It focuses on the reinsertion of the unemployeed workforce to the economic system of Barcelona but it also provides these and other users the technical and intellectual knowledge to develope skills that will allow them to adapt to the ever changing technologies and modifications of the performance of any job. On one hand, the Social Innovation Incubator provides the user (through workshops, laboratories, tutories, etc) with the necessary knowledge to face the new paradigms and processes of innovation. On the other hand, it promotes competitive workers and entrepreneurs that will contribute to the economic growth of Barcelona and the social cohesion of Sant Andreu de Bes贸s. The definition mentioned above as well as the program explained in the following pages, refer to an initial approach and it was later in the semester better developed and improved.

The space The medium for changes

After comprehending and analyzing the economical and social situation Spain, and thus Barcelona, is facing, comes the time to propose solutions through design. By designing an educational methodology, taking program choices, reading the morphology and site characteristics, the building and its components start to take shape and represent a vision that gathers all the subjects together. A proposal that shapes itself by all the embedded information and that will reshape the life style of the learners and participants. Taking Dali’s house as example, located in Cadaqués and visited on the research trip, it’s easy to understand how an architectural space could be enough to influence its’ users. It’s a reciprocal relation where the architecture shapes the human behavior and the man reshapes his space. That its precisely what the Social Innovation Incubator wants to reach by design, to give the opportunity to the learners and the participants to shape and be shaped by the space.

Another important conclusion to notice from the research trip is to define how the salt cloud and the knowledge cloud get together and actually build the project and the main objective of it, that is to bring new opportunities of education and innovation to the unemployed professionals. That is why it’s necessary to insist with the project in education through innovation, and make a fusion between the Mediterranean context and an innovative learning methodology.

NEXT EDU Conversation with Andrea Graziano

Andrea is an architect, computational designer and digital explorer. Member and co founder of Co-de-iT and cofounder of FabLab Turin. He is also managing social media blogs related with innovations in education. By the time of the interview he transmitted that everything that is made by passion will be successful. The main points that he defined as important were: - New education models should not be defined allowance of evolution and flexibility. - Connectivity is as (or more than) important as learning networking. - It should be a mixture of activities where the learning, work and recreation are developed together.

Learning and innovation from innovate to innovation

The human being in order to learn, through it different phases o growth, use and needs a variety of method that helps him to capture, keep and put in practice all the useful information. Actually, different sociologist and other specialist, are understanding that the “classroom model “ its not the only way of learn and not the must efficient. In order to create an innovative paradigm in the education system of Spain, it’s necessary to propose an education methodology that will take place inside of the building. One of the objective was to replace the logic of training and adapt inside these methodology the must advanced ways of learning that are being proved and applied in different spaces. In terms of efficiency, its necessary to put pressure over the system and make the learning phase a faster method in order to response actively to the actual situation. 110

SLE is a place where individuals and groups can come together and co-create content, share knowledge and experiences, and learn from one another to improve their personal and professional productivity. It is a place that can be used to extend formal content-based e-learning for social interaction between learners and tutors. A SLE doesn’t manage, control and track users, but rather provides an open environment for working and learning collaboratively. Attention —Retention — Reproduction - Motivation

All cognitive processes require constant practice and getting better thoughtout life is important. LEARNING IS IMPROVEMENT IN ONE’S COGNITIVE PROCESSES. Lifetime learning does not only mean the continual acquisition of knowledge, so much as the improvement in one’s ability to perform these cognitive processes, by the acquisition and alalysis of experience. What we should do is to teach employees how to think more clearly within the context of jobs. We should be providing worplace-based contexts, typicall ones that are beyond their day to dat tastks, contexts for exmployees to think within and about.

04 BAUHAUS / The new man, the new technique.

The idealistic basis of Bauhaus was a socially orientated programme. An artist must be conscious of his social responsibility to the community. AND the community has to accept the artist and support him.Removing the limitations of professionalism. The Bauhaus system allowed for a work practice built on varied social, technical, and methodical basic knowledge.Specialization together with solid basic knowledge was not a risk when the students were employed by the production. They were able to follow the changes in technology and society in a flexible manner. Homogeneous professional roles started to dissolve in practice, or at least to change radically. At the same time it seemed necessary for the student to take personal responsible for his studies and the development of professional skill. THE THREE PILLARS. craft was the foremost pillar. drawing and painting was the second pillar. science and theory for the third pillar.

06 Social Development Theory

Many schools have tradionally held a transmissionist or instructionist model in which a teacher or lecturer “transmits�information to students. In contrast, Vygotsky’s theory promotes learning contexts in which students play an active role in learning. Roles of the teacher and student are therefore shifted, as teacher collaborates with his or her students in order to help facilitate meaning construction in students. Learning therefore becomes a reciprocal experience for the students and teacher.

DESIGN PROJECT

Introduction

A self sufficient building has to be a system of co relation matters that gather together an architectural object with answers in economic, technologic and social subjects. The social innovation incubator grows within the actual situation and gives an optional solution over the social and economic issues that the unemployed professionals with capability to work are facing. The architectural program was developed by understanding a variety of innovative educational methods and giving the option to the users (in the case of our project, learners and participants) to develop new skills and prepare them to be ready for the change of matrix that the industry is facing. As an architecture proposal, it’s embedded with context information by using the high salinity of the Mediterranean Sea and adapting the volume with the environIaaC MAA_01

mental characteristics. The shape is based on the mineral growth analysis understanding the aggregation as a main concept, basing the volume with the halite (salt crystal) growths and how these mineral adapt over different configurations. Also, it uses the Mediterranean Sea salinity as a power tool to feed the sense of the building, using self sufficient sensor modules that release signals to improve the performance of the system and save energy by responding to the climate situation.

Pillars

Comprehensive Learning Improvement in cognitive process. Besides continual acquisition of knowledge, lifetime learning relies on the improvement in one’s ability to perform these cognitive processes, by the acquisition and capacity of analizing their experiences. Know/how Learning Straight forward education (instructor to learner) Active Learning Learners play an active role in educational process Horizontal education (learner to learner). Reciprocal education: Roles of the instructor and learner are shifted, as the instructor collaborates with the learners to help facilitate meaningful construction. Learning therefore becomes a reciprocal experience. Adaptive Learning Open Data (the knowledge cloud) Informal information sharing through existing platforms and networks. Formal information sharing of academic material, planning material, evaluation tools and thematic content.

Its all about particles Understanding the physics of particles

“ In the physical sciences, a particle is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical properties such as volume or mass. The word is rather general in meaning, and is refined as needed by various scientific fields. Its possible to see the design through the particles point of view. “

“Particle”. AMS Glossary. American Meteorological Society.

By looking the design as a “smaller scale” operation, it’s possible to understand it as a multi scalar system. Architecture is looking again, thanks to the new fabrication methods and interdisciplinary science advances, to the design of particular operative products to improve the space experience and building performance. ----------With the logic of the “particles” concept, the design will be improved by using its physical and chemical behav154

Since the beginning of the investigation, there was a direct phenomenon that drove the main direction. The salinity accumulation existing near the site was showing an opportunity to go deeper into this subject, and the proximity to the ocean provided the opportunity to understand some logics related to what its happening there. With the help of Jopsep Perelló, a rooted research started, that drove a design solution inherent with the local situation.

Constructive and structural system Learning from nature.

“In nature, shape is cheaper than material. This has been shown a number of times and is manifested in the remarkably high performance, both absolute and specific, of biological materials which is achieved not by the us of high performance component but by the degree of detail and competence in their design and construction.�

Lightness: the inevitable renaissance of minimum energy structures. Julian Vincent (2005) , Smart by nature, Ed.

The hexagonal patterns occur when structures have to absorb two dimensional stresses in all directions. Matter apparently shapes itself into to sort of structure that is best fit to absorb stress because the forces need to move along the shortest distances.

A basic structure and its material utilization with the building’s logics was structurally tested and threw these results: 1. A polyhedron that contains hexagonal faces is structurally stable by itself. 2. it’s necessary to decrease the top section of the complete geometry in order to optimize the material utilization. If not, the structure on the top should be thicker and not viable. 3. There should be reinforcement in the bottom volumes to turn them in “foundations” and help in holding the structure.

Cardboard truncated hectahedra structure. The main structure is composed by cardboard tubes with fixed and pinned steel joins. The logic of the module is to follow the aggregation and lightness concept and help to reshape the project once that it’s finished. The aggregation works from the heavier system to the lightness module composition. Creating proper foundations, by adding to the system stress skin panels make a stronger structural solution. 1

Constructing the ligthness.

The building is designed to be assembled on site; all the modules are prefabricated systems that can be transported as structural components. The aggregation logic allows building it as a numerical and three-dimensional puzzle that gets stable when the whole building will be finished. This characteristic also lets the building grow in the future by adding new modules if the program needs to change in order to solve new spatial needs. The project is principally composed by truncated tetrahedrons with three different shapes between each other.

The proposed system

Cardboard truncated hectahedra structure. The batteries should be located in the most affected faces because of two reasons, to create a double layer that increases the thickness of the surface an helps to keep away the heat and more importantly, to keep the water warm because is optimizes the electrolysis reaction inside them. In other hand, the solar responsive ETFE modules are located in the transition zone between the most affected faces and the ones that stay in shadows. In this section the wind responsive modules it’s also located. These help to get a stronger structure but also create a path for the wind to flow through the zones that are less warm.
