Dwelling: A space housing an individual or a group of people. A freestanding house or an apartment - A permanent or a temporary living situation - A place for sleeping, eating and for hygienically and bodily needs.
Scale:
the scale of the dwellings we are working with in this assignment is based on the new york department of buildings laws for «micro units», small dwellings between 12 – 33 square-meters.
Form:
responsive to the placement of the spaces needed to practis everyday life
Atmosphere: Personal space, privat.
Cycle: cycle of habits

Watchtower A construction allowing an overview of the surroundings - usually associated with a vertical structure.
Hight:
the highest point in the landscape form: often tall and narrow
Ambient condition:
To observe requires light on elements which are to be seen. A watch tower usual has a souce of light attached to the highest point - to manuvrate the observation.
Event:
Survellance, control
Atmosphere:
Forced control or place of security. The highest point usually associated with highest authority.
orientation:
centrally oriented - freestanding to allow panorama. Limited view causing loss of control, alternatively voulnurabiity.

Lost and found station A central for delivery of objects lost in a certain area, with the aim of rejoining owner and element.
scale:
Scaled depending on the size and quantity of the objects it has to contain, and amount of physical manuvration required.
Atmosphere:
Hope - responsibility - social sustainability - privat entied with public.
cycle:
the cycle of everyday events - objects being lost, collected, systematised and storaged, and delivered back.
orientation:
easy access - straged retracted in

Snowobservatory A interior or exterior place for observation of the phenomena of snow.
Scale:
space allwoing a stay, relating to a “relaxed� fysical state
Ambient conditions: Winter - minus degrees. Focused light, emphazising the snow thrugh reflection of the snowflakes.
Event:
The event of snow falling from the sky - in reponse to condenstation of the tiny droplets. Space allowing view towards sky - retracted from trafic on site.
Cycle:
related to the cycle of weather and sesons. Water and condensation affected by temerature reaching below zero.
Orientation: Space allowing view towards sky - retracted from trafic on site.

Drug-dealing Trade between money and illegal drugs - invovling a seller and a byer. Takes place in secret of authority, though approachable to the people interested to buy.
Scale:
Big enough for two people to meet and do the exchange. Easy access - easy escape. Well hidden - easialy approchable.
Form:
the form of the space it takes place within allows for privacy/secrecy, but at the some time is open to the public or obvious to potential buyers.
Materiality: Illegal substances, money
Atmosphere: Risky, illeagal, unhealty, substance of trade assosicated with deconstruction of metal and physical health.
Cycle: Cycle of a day, and life in the city during a day. Darkness of night can provide secrecy
Orientation:
Public, but hidden. Allowing easy access - easy escape.

Recycle-station A place of collecting and sorting garbage. The different materials are sorted - separated - re-cycled into new materials/source of energy. Unrecyclable material . landfill or for decomposition.
Scale: Allowing garbage to be picked up and transported by garbage-trucks. Big enough for sorting and storage.
Form: Eaisily accessible. Form after function
Materiality: Garbage: the traces of human activities and productions.
Atmosphere: smelly, dirty, unsanitary transformed into sustainablilty. If successful - local commitment.
Cycle:
The cycle of decomposition Materials being produced – manufactured into objects – objects being distributed and sold – bought by a user - used – thrown out.
Orientation: Practical orientation, easy access for trucks and users

Walking-roof Enabled access to roofs as a space for exterior events. As an element of social sustainability, fullfilling a need unresponend to on streetlevel.
Examples: Oslo opera-house by Snøhetta Scale: the scale depends on the scale of the building/ area of the buildings roof
Height: Space on top of a construction
Form:
External space with a connection to the ground, directly, or through stairs, ladders or elevators. Internally or externally placed depending on public/private aim. Open space/outside.
Cycle:
Relates to the cycles of day and night, and the cycles of seasons. Always accesible - fulfilling a connection with city as well as connection to the sky - natural phenomenas.

Secret space: A space only known to people entrustet with the secret. The fewer the people - the safer the secret. Housing hidden activities/elements from society/authority.
Examples: secret spaces in suitcases / working desks. Military secret spaces Scale: Related to the physical conditions of the secret.
Form:
A form which is concealed. A hybrid exsisting - though with a function taking awareness from the elements of the hidden structure.
Materiality: A deceiving materiality, allwoing an undercover space.
Event: secret events, illegal activity or tabus
Atmosphere: the atmosphere of being safe to execute secret activities / hiding secret objects

Playground: An area set aside for recreation and play, often in set up in areas where there are now obvious environments for children to play - usually involving toys or equipment for the children to play with. Safety is highly prioriticed
Scale: Big enough for physical movement, while allowing constant supervision.
Materiality: Usually grass, sand, wood, or a softer, hardwearing surface.
Event: Playtime
Atmosphere: If successful - a happy and joyful atmosphere.
Cycle:
Cycle of a day - most likely used by children and families during daytime. Cycle of a seasons - most likely used during summertime/comfortable weather and temperatures
Orientation: orientated so it is open to the public

Parasite Parasitism is a non-mutual relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host. Parasitic architecture can be defined as an adaptable, transient and exploitive form of architecture. Parasites cannot sustain their own existence without siphoning energy from the surplus supply demonstrated in host buildings.
Example: Archigram, plug in city 1964. Michael Rakowitz, paraSITE. Scale: as big as the host building allows it to grow, by therms of energy and space
Form: Flixible and adaptable to the form and the spacial conditions of the host building.
Materiality: can be made from material left-overs from surrouning events.
Cycle: the parasite feeds of the cycles its context

Sugarpower-plant A sugar power-plant transform the leftovers from production of sugarcanes, begrasse, to steam by burning, in order to create electricity. A sugar power-plant suggests the transformation of sugar into new forms of energy.
Scale: scaled to contain the machinery and operation needed for the process.
Form: form after function and practicality of the production.
Event:
creation of energy
Cycle: Carbon cycle - transformation of energy.
