The Ministry Of Ocean Wisdom

Victor Moldoveanu

A speculative scenario that relocates human habitat from a land based system to a water based system

For I draw to speak my mind, and I paint to feel alive. To my heroes and mentors C, C and E: for those moments when there was no light at the end of the tunnel. In all things, gratitude. With all things, love.

This album celebrates an enormous passion for architecture as a discipline who believes that engaging in pioneering research activity and innovative design practice is fundamental for the future of our profession. It incorporates material produced in 2017 for the Year 4 final examination of the Master of Arts in Architecture Graduate Programme at Aarhus School of Architecture. I was blessed with inspirational supervisors: Professor CJ Lim and Eva Rosborg Aagaard. I wholeheartedly thank Simon Dickens (The Bartlett UCL), Matthew Wells (Techniker Structural Engineers), Markus Krauss (Transsolar KlimaEngineering), Jette Birkeskov Mogensen (Schmidt Hammer Lassen), our invited critics Christine Hawley, Chris Thurlborne, Heidi Merrild, Thomas Hilberth, Tine NĂ&#x2DC;rgaard, and final panel examiners CJ Lim, Chris Thurlborne, Claudia Carbone and Naina Gupta. The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom received the 43rd KRob Jury citation presented by the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Selected work has also been curated to numerous exhibitions and publications including the JIA 100 Most Attractive Illustrators of the World.

We have made it our practice to just have our heads down and work, and ignore in some senses all the reasons why something shouldn’t be possible. Image: Illustration of ‘The Children of Captain Grant’, Jules Verne Text: Sir Jonathan Paul ‘Jony’ Ive

The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom The Danish Exclusive Economic Zone and Village of Hvide Sande, Denmark In Jules Verne’s ‘The Children of Captain Grant’, the leading metaphorical character is water. This medium is the provider of the journey; it is also the concealer or revealer of the information that the wanderers sought throughout their journey across the world. Water is the interface of the interaction with their environment and the common ground that drove the group’s actions. Today, water as human territory is in itself a myth yet to be consumed. Throughout history, it has often seen as the unknown, because apart from industrial purposes, human economy is only based on procuring land surface. The project concludes that water (not only land) constitutes inhabitable territory, that water has different states and potentials and that it can produce different spatial conditions; water is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom depicts a model of embracing ocean level rise and consequently taking up life on water.

Brief

Arrival of the Floating Pool after 40 years of crossing the Atlantic, the architects and lifeguards reach their destination. But they hardly notice it due to the particular form of locomotion of the pool - its reaction to their own displacement in water - they have to swim toward what they want to get away from and away from where they want to go. Rem Koolhaas, The Story of the Pool, 1977

The Ministry Of Ocean Wisdom Brief

1.1 Design Brief Relocation: The Making Of Utopia

In the tradition of science fiction tropes of Jonathan Swift and Jules Verne, the Russian modernist architects used a portable pool infrastructure to escape Soviet oppression to the United States of America in Koolhaasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Delirious New York (1978). Meanwhile, Brodsky and Utkin opted instead to remain in Russia to produce visionary schemes in response to the bleak professional scene in which are only artless and ill-conceived buildings, diluted through numerous bureaucratic strata and constructed out of poor materials... [it was] an escape into the realm of the imagination that ended as a visual commentary on what was wrong with social and physical reality and how its ills might be remedied. Their Wandering Turtle (1984) resembles a large pile of seemingly ad-hoc elements being pushed through the streets. On closer inspection, it is a maze of a big city comprises a diverse collection of crafted and intelligent buildings, presumably being smuggled into the banal urban context, making metaphoric reference to the Trojan Horse. Both the decisions to relocate or to remain are basic human rights, and can be applied as strategies for the making of Utopia. According to the 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, around 200 million people will be permanently displaced by 2050 - often the amalgamation of complex economic, social and political drivers, which are exacerbated by increasingly unpredictable environmental conditions. The movement patterns of environmental migrants vary: forced relocation might result from an unforeseen catastrophe such as a tsunami or earthquake, while slow persistent effects of drought on agriculture could cause a gradual relocation process. When the nature of existence is based on a transient lifestyle, then the ability to create a portable architecture is one of if not the most important human-made factor in their survival, argued Professor Robert Kronenburg in his book Architecture in Motion (2014). He also identified the first recorded infrastructure of relocation to be Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark.

The Ministry Of Ocean Wisdom Brief

At a much smaller scale, the travelling circus, mobile homes, Native American Tipi and Mongolian Yurt provided the necessary facilities and freedom to relocate. Mongolian nomads historically moved three to four times a year as seasons change or as pastures become greener elsewhere. Dirigibles, however, have more recently been used to ingenious effect by French architect, Giles Ebersolt, to position living environments in the treetop canopies of tropical rainforests. The Radeau des Cimes (1989), an inflatable raft that floats on the forest canopy like a boat sailing on the waves, provided previously unimaginable access to the forest environment. Relocation of capital cities is not uncommon. Ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese changed their capital frequently. Some countries choose new capitals that are more easily defended in a time of invasion or war; others built in undeveloped areas to spur unity, security, and prosperity. The decision to relocate the Brazilian capital from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia was intended to not only symbolically relocate the seat of national power but also shift the demographic and economic focus away from the European colonial powers and toward the vast hinterland. In 2016, the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) reported that older couples ‘downsizing’ to smaller properties could free up much-needed housing stock in urban areas. Also, at £320bn a year, the third age now account for around 47% of all UK consumer spending, and is helping to keep the UK economy moving. In Detroit, it is the cheap housing and incentive programs that are enticing the relocation of the middle class and creative population from neighboring states to fuel the regrowth of the Motor City. ‘Write A House’ provides vocational training to Detroiters to renovate vacant dilapidated homes, help incoming writers and artists overcome the obstacles to home-ownership, and establish a sustainable creative landscape. Nevertheless, relocation is not the only response strategy to climate change or global events; it is widely agreed that many displaced are likely to

remain in their communities and seek to adapt to the impacts. Rather than ‘fighting’, governments together with planners and architects need to envision built environments that embrace the enemy. Strengthening community resilience that can adapt in uncertainty can reduce relocation - this is both an opportunity and a challenge. A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. Progress is the realization of Utopias. (Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism, 1891)

In the words of a good friend ‘I believe good work (in general) doesn’t root in solving a problem, but in inspiration, in the wish, fever, belief, hope, fascination, will, ideal, in flow. And also, it’s the nicest condition, state of mind I know to live in. Since I also think that we don’t get the condition of flow just with birth and livelong, we have to be curious and interested and happily try to hunt it!’ Essentially, that’s what the drawings are about. They cultivate optimism and a sense of messy vitality rather than obvious unity; they evoke many levels of meaning and combinations of focus: space and its elements become readable and workable in several ways at once; they employ symbolism and a fictional narrative structure to create sustainable architecture and environments of spatial and social impact, in addition to the use of political poetics as well as technical exposition; they explore issues of sustainability, resilience and climate change challenges.

The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom is a project showing a model of embracing ocean level rise and consequently taking up life on water. The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom has a strategic approach on the foreseeable event of ocean level rise. The Ministry operates through a set of components that prepare, protect and provide for the population and the territory under flood threat. These components define: habitation, transportation, natural environment, infrastructure and logistics.

2.2 In Dialogue 2.2.1 The AIA Dallas KRob Jury Citation

The Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation Competition (KRob) has celebrated the best in architectural delineation for 44 years. A Dallas classic that has received international recognition, KRob honours hand and digital delineation by professionals and students throughout the world. Averaging over 400 entries from 25 countries in the past several years, the competition’s visibility continues to grow. The Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation Competition is the most senior architectural drawing competition currently in operation anywhere in the world. This award is presented to the best student and professional entries that demonstrate excellence through an innovative use of media and technology. Submissions may be digital, or hybrid mixed media with preference given to those that push the envelope of architectural representation, including drawings produced through algorithmic processes. I would go back onto the on-line and look at the entries and then I’d stop so I wouldn’t get numb about looking at them, I’d come back, and this drawing was one that I kept coming back to, it was like a drawing that I would think about later in the day and say ‘That was a really fantastic drawing.’ What I want to congratulate this artist about is that he took the digital media and really made it their own, and we talked about this, about creating a signature in terms of how you produce work, and that is as important as anything that you do as a designer. So even though it’s a digital drawing, it has a kind of sensitivity to it that has incredible detail, there is an explanation of section and these incredible machines so it’s one that you go back and forth into. Then it recalls Sant’Elia’s and the Italian rationalist paintings that he would do for that competition for the train station in Milan, so I was immediately drawn to it. Steven Quevedo

KooZA/rch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Researching the visual language of our built environment Embracing the multidisciplinary, our ambition is to research, challenge and reveal the multitude of lenses through which we can draw and talk about our built environment. At KooZA/rch the image is the medium through which we question and trace speculative ideas which confront our contemporary understanding of architecture and the space it enfolds both physically and metaphorically. From the theoretical to the real, we value the image as true piece of evidence which documents the world we have come to shape and now inhabit. We approach the image as a universal visual language which transcends borders. For us the image is concept, truth and project. As a digital research platform, we challenge the very act of drawing and image making in the land of the pixel. We value the daring and the absurd, the alternative to the normal, the ideas which push contemporary preconceptions and boundaries Our interviews pledge to be inspirational conversations which reveal the behind the scenes of what constitutes a project. From the final images we talk and write our way back to reveal all that lies between concept and final product. We cherish the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;work in progressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as moment of critical thinking where exciting and thought-provoking ideas are shaped and discussed. We do not limit ourselves to one reading and one image but rather pledge to reveal the multitude of decisions through which we think, shape and design our built environment.

2.2 In Dialogue 2.2.2 KooZA/rch Interviews: The Moments Of The Ministry

Who influences you graphically? I continuously study the work of Hariton Pushwagner known for his urban art and pop art, and Heath Robinson, illustrator of comically absurd designs and life situations. Trough their style, they both display repetitions, iterations accompanied by scale variations. I also look very closely at illustrators from eastern cultures such as Korin Furuya, Ray Morimura and of course, Katsushika Hokusai. How does the graphic representation of the project relate to the actual proposal? At the beginning, we started these drawings in gray scale. I wanted to produce clear images without any colourful distractions. As we worked our way through though, colour began to play an important role, as the world of oceans started to be defined by blue and green tones. At this point, it seemed pretty natural to have the rest of the architectural tectonic language displayed in shades of brown - just enough to produce a sense of complementarity. You could also refer to these drawings as sepia drawings in which we balanced blue and green tones. What was your work process in terms of both image production as well as programs used? I think the issue that is brought up by these drawings is composition: we don’t just run the ‘render’ command and presumably, a ‘nice’ image turns out. Composition refers multiple angles carefully arranged so that ‘an image’ is not ‘one image’. Particular views are set up and arranged to convey the message to the reader and add further technical understanding - sections ‘are cut’ through certain objects, or skin ‘is peeled off’ to show that technical knowledge is there. The complexity of the images is not in the apparent ‘randomness’ but in the provocative and sometimes surprising angles. In terms of work flow, there are numerous Rhino models - never a complete single and detailed model - to produce the angles which are then manipulated in Photoshop to extract lines, to add masks, textures and to vary tones. As there is a lot of production to be output, the work flow has to be as efficient as it can get.

this is a short synopsis

The Extraordinary Voyages

In Search of the Castaways by Jules Vernes is an adventure novel which

tells the story of the quest for a group of people who were castaway on their ship Britannia. Lord and Lady Glenarvan of Scotland retrieve a message in a bottle from the stomach of a shark and make it their mission to find the castaways. The main difficulty is that the coordinates of the wreckage are mostly erased, and only the latitude (37 degrees) is known; thus, the expedition would have to circumnavigate the 37th parallel in the Southern Hemisphere. Remaining clues consist of a few words in three languages. They are re-interpreted several times throughout the novel to make various destinations seem likely. The search team encounters dangerous seas and frequently wonders off-track but at the end, the team manages to rescue Captain Grant and the remaining surviving crew.

In Verne’s novel, the leading metaphorical character is water. This medium is the provider of the journey; it is also the concealer or revealer of the information that the wanderers sought throughout the journey. Water is the interface of the interaction with their environment and the common ground that drove the group’s actions. Today, water as human territory is in itself a myth yet to be consumed. The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom takes the notion of water as its key utopian design driver. Utopia is the realization that water (not only land) constitutes inhabitable territory, that water has different states and potentials and that it can produce different spatial conditions.

The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom prepares the necessary components so that its users will not be forced to relocate when ocean level will rise.

2— The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom provides a new model of habitation for the

local population (coast and not only) ready to remain and pursue a lasting and fruitful life on water.

The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom protects people who face the same danger of ocean level rise anywhere on the globe. The implementation of the model of the Ministry will therefore diminish the number of global environmental migrants.

Summary drawing of the book. Key narrative: the flood is coming and the wanderers lose their horses and inhabit a tall tree that reaches the sun and the stars.

B— UNDESIRABLE

The ocean is an undesirable environment for habitation due to the lack accessibility, the lack of physical terrain and danger of extreme weather conditions and ocean depths. Throughout history, it has seldom seen as the

unknown. Apart from industrial purposes, human economy is only based on procuring land surface.

C— PROJECT SYNOPSIS

The Ministry of Ocean Wisdom is a demonstration project showing a model of embracing ocean level rise and consequently taking up life on water. The Ministry operates through a set of components that prepare, protect and provide for the population and the territory under flood threat. These components include: habitation, transportation infrastructure, natural environment and logistics.

FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform) is an open ocean research platform owned by the U.S. Office of Naval Research. The platform is 108 meters long and is designed to partially flood and pitch backward 90°, resulting in only the front 17 meters of the platform pointing up out of the water, with bulkheads becoming decks. When flipped, most of the buoyancy for the platform is provided by water at depths below the influence of surface waves. At the end of a mission, compressed air is pumped into the ballast tanks in the flooded section and the platform, which has no propulsion, returns to its horizontal position so it can be towed to a new location.

Fish meat is an excellent source of energy and protein, is easily digested and has a low fat content and high nutritional value. Alongside fish farms, there are three additional programs (program 1, 2, 3) described below, that deal with water desalination and salt production.

Net fishing village in China, location unknown.(3)

Journey as way of living: these villages are depended on fishing activities. The journey is here the daily struggle of fishermen to provide for their families.

Theatre of the World

This theater was designed for the Venice Biennale in 1979 by Aldo Rossi. When completed demonstrations of the Biennial, theater crossed the Adriatic Sea and settled in Dubrovnik.(5)

Makoko Floating School

Makoko Floating School was designed by Kunlé Adeyemi to provide teaching facilities for a slum district on Lagos Lagoon.(6)

Journey as enlightenment. These two cases illustrate cultural symbols: a school and a theatre relocate to share knowledge for those in need.

Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6–9) by which God spares Noah, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from the flood.(2)

The Uros of Lake Titicaca

The Uros descend from a millennial town that, according to legends, are "pukinas" who speak Uro or Pukina and that believe they are the owners of the lake and water.(4)

Journey as liberation. The common ground of these two stories is threat: the inevitable flood or the approach of Spanish conquistadors. The journey is here the last resort that will trigger another way of life.

Thisspecific analysis provides specific information aboutthe the North Sea forSea a better understanding current and past conditions of this area. This analysis provides information about North for a betterof the understanding of the current and past conditions of this area.

A. Key Facts

The North Sea is a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean located between Great Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. An epeiric (or “shelf”) sea on the European continental shelf, it connects to the ocean through the English Channel in the south and the Norwegian Sea in the north. It is more than 970 kilometres long and 580 kilometres wide, with an area of around 570,000 square kilometres. The North Sea has long been the site of important European shipping lanes as well as a major fishery. The sea is a popular destination for recreation and tourism in bordering countries and more recently has developed into a rich source of energy resources including fossil fuels, wind, and early efforts in wave power.

B. Geology

Shallow epicontinental seas like the current North Sea have since long existed on the European continental shelf. The rifting that formed the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, from about 150 million years ago, caused tectonic uplift in the British Isles.(1) Since then, a shallow sea has almost continuously existed between the uplands of the Fennoscandian Shield and the British Isles.(2) This precursor of the current North Sea has grown and shrunk with the rise and fall of the eustatic sea level during geologic time.

The Myth of Fossegrimen

Fossegrimen is a spirit who lives in waterfalls and is neither good nor evil. The Fossegrim is a magnificent musician who plays the fiddle day and night. If an aspiring fiddle player ventures to seek his help, the Fossegrim will gladly help for a price. The fiddle player must go to the waterfall and offer him a nice meal, usually a good plump joint of meat. Many stories tell of travelers who have tried to palm the Fossegrim off with an inadequate piece of meat, resulting in the him just teaching the student how to tune his fiddle rather than play it. He is said to be young and handsome though never leaves his waterfall.

The Myth of Nøkken.

Nøkken, näcken, or strömkarlen, is a fresh water dwelling relative of Fossegrimen, but unlike his kinsman, the nøkk is both dangerous and clever. The nøkk plays a violin to lure his victims out onto thin ice or in leaky boats and then draws them down to the bottom of the water where he is waiting for them. The nøkk is also a known shapeshifter, usually changing into a horse or a man in order to lure his victims to him.

These are vital data points that have been taken into the design process of the Ministry of Ocean Wisdom. Past Slow Changes

Changes in sea levels in inner Danish waters based on beach lines and measurements adjusted according to vertical land movements. The last 5000 years, sea levels around Denmark have risen approx. 1mm per year on average corresponding to a total of approx. 5m. Increase rate has varied a little due to natural variations in climate. Geological studies show that during the past 900 years sea levels in inner Danish waters have been rising at average rates between 1,6 mm per year in the Middle Ages and approx. 0,5 mm per year in the period after 1750.

Internal waters include waters on the landward side of the baseline of a nation’s territorial waters, except in archipelagic states. It includes waterways such as rivers and canals, and sometimes the water within small bays.

Territorial Waters

Territorial waters or a territorial sea as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, is a belt of coastal waters extending at most 12 nautical miles (22,2 km) from the baseline of a coastal state. The territorial sea is regarded as the sovereign territory of the state; this sovereignty also extends to the airspace over and seabed below. Adjustment of these boundaries is called, in international law, maritime delimitation.

The strips extend as ocean level continues to rise. Based on the research shown previously, this is an approximation of ocean level rise by 7 meters in the following 500 years. This scenario has been followed throughout the entire project. As it journeys in flight along the coast, The Ministry lands in different locations. The landing of the Ministry means a celebratory event of the village when people get together and stay united as a people who face similar hardships in the face of the floods. Depending on the size of the locations, The Ministry spends from a couple of days up to a week. The regional role of The Ministry is also to collect samples of water from different parts of the coast; these will further be analyzed by experts of the Ministry. The landing of the Ministry in the village thus means enlightenment by sharing knowledge with compassion and generosity.

The carpet in front of the altar was embroidered in 1981 by 27 women from the town. The church bell is donated by the Danish shipowner A.P. Møller. In 2004 the church had a votive ship built by Christian Bollerup. The votive ship is the named after a copy of a sunken ship built by a surviving sailor and donated to the church in gratitude for being alive.

2.2.8 The Emergency Escape Strategy. This chapter looks at escape routes and exits in case of emergency.

The emergency escape strategy is follows two basic principles used in aircraft systems: (A) the personal flotation devices (life vests) and (B) the inflatable slides. Additionally, a classic way of exiting in case of emergency is also addressed through (C) the bridge-dock that provides exits on two levels (deck-level and pool-level). there are 56 life vests under this area of the deck

The harness use continuous lengths of webbing which run through the Personal Flotation System and attach directly to the waist belt, front and back. You can be lifted by the shoulder strap, and even if a buckle fails, you are still securely fastened in.

Flotation is what a Personal Floatation System is for, but more foam means more bulk. This foam is cut and bonded into a shape which wraps around the body, allowing to achieve lots of flotation, without getting in the way or becoming unconfortable.

This harness is tested at 2,5 kN, located on the mid back for the best swimming position and configured to make it impossible to attach a line in the wrong place. The harness can be fitted for right or left hand.

The combination of unidirectional and 0°/90° plain weave on the top and bottom flanges give the I-beam its high bending strength. Utilizing a ±45° orientation in the webbing allows the carbon fiber I-beam to have exceptional shear strength, as well as properly transmitting loads between the top and bottom flanges. Carbon fiber I-beams can offer similar properties in bending and shear as sandwich panels with the same thickness, but without the added weight from unnecessary core material.

study model

image reference

This study model above shows the structure highlighted in the previous chapter (main framework). This study has been concluded in the necessity of using a secondary structure that enforces the primary one. The image references on the left refer to structural typologies that have informed the current pool structure - boat and airship structures. Geodesic designs were used in aviation as early as 1909, in the Schütte-Lanz SL1 airship. It had a wooden structure with fabric covering, and Professor Johann Schütte, the scientific head of this design, used the most efficient method conceivable.

image reference

PROs Geodesic frames are good in transferring both bending and shear loads. This is helpful when the

aerodynamic covering is not stiff enough to contribute any shear stiffness, as in the case of fabric covering. However, when the skin is made from the same material as the frame, it can carry shear loads and a geodesic frame would not improve matters. It is better to carry longitudinal loads in longerons and shear in the skin.

image reference

CONs Planning the shape of all structural members was an enormous amount of work, and stretching an existing ship by inserting a new section was almost impossible. For those reasons, the late

Schütte-Lanz airships used aluminum frames with conventional design, just like Zeppelin did from the beginning. Diagonal wire bracing was used to take up shear loads.

This comparative study shows two options of the structural profile on the long direction. While option (A) offers the possibility of extra insulation filling, option (B) offers a more robust structural element. Option (B) has been chosen for a more coherent structural model and a simpler link with secondary structures. This option will be studied in the next chapter in more detail.

Key Facts

When water vaporizes from liquid form into a gas to for steam it increases in volume by approximately 1.700 times. If we heated 1 liter of water in a sealed container to its boiling point to produce steam we would still have 1 liter of water except the pressure on the container would increase significantly. Conclusion: If that container broke, the steam would expand to take up 1.700 times the space that one liter of liquid water occupied. This calculation has led to deciding the size of the pressure reactors illustrated in Chapter 4.2.

A diving cylinder, scuba tank or diving tank is a gas cylinder used to store and transport the high pressure breathing gas required by a scuba set. It may also be used for surfacesupplied diving or as decompression gas or an emergency gas supply for surface supplied diving or scuba. Cylinders provide gas to the diver through the demand valve of a diving regulator or the breathing loop of a diving re-breather.

we’re different typologies of hydrogen clouds!

Doing the Maths √ Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to an electric current being passed through the water. The reaction has a standard potential of −1,23 V, meaning it ideally requires a potential difference of 1,23 volts to split water. The electrolysis of water requires a minimum of 237,13 kJ of electrical energy input to dissociate each mole. Each mole of water results in 2 grams of Hydrogen and 16 grams of Oxygen.

2H2

O2 4

when flying, the pool is empty

Energy required for electrolysis of 1kg of water:

237,13 kJ x 55,55 = 13,18 MJ

The total volume of the hydrogen clouds is 159 m3 which only accounts for 3,23% of the volume necessary to lift the ship.

The density of hydrogen and oxygen are 0,0899 g/L and 1,429 g/L at 0 degrees centigrade. 1L of water will thus produce:

111 / 0,0899 = 1234,70 L hydrogen 888,81 / 1,429 = 621,98 L oxygen.

Note that according to Avogadro’s law, the volume of hydrogen is about twice that of oxygen, because 1 mol of water produces 1 mol of hydrogen and 1/2 mol of oxygen.

Under these circumstances, two solutions can be taken into account: (1) increase the number of hydrogen clouds or (2) increase the size of hydrogen clouds. The latter option is depicted below and taken into account to inform the general design process of the project.

Amount of Hydrogen required for lift

(5,70 t mass calculated on next page): [ 5,70 t x 200.000 m3 ] / 232 t = 4.913,79 m3 hydrogen

Amount of water required to produce required amount of hydrogen:

4.913.790 L / 1.235 L = 3.978,77 L water

Conclusion: Approximately 400m3 of water will be

required in order to produce approximately 5000m3 of hydrogen to lift the ship in the air. In Denmark, that is the equivalent to the water consumption of 2000 houses in 1 day or the water consumption of one house over almost 5 years.

This study brings additional information regarding flight and forces at play. Safety considerations are also provided as conclusions.

Key Facts

232 tons

The two Hindenburg-class airships were hydrogen-filled, passenger-carrying rigid airships built in Germany in the 1930s and named in honor of Paul von Hindenburg. They were the last such aircraft ever built, and in terms of their length and volume, the largest Zeppelins ever to fly.

The Hindenburg disaster occurred on May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. One hypothesis of the cause of the disaster was fire that would have started by an electric spark which was caused by a buildup of static electricity on the airship. The spark ignited hydrogen on the outer skin. The incendiary paint theory was proposed in 1996 by retired NASA scientist Addison Bain, stating that the doping compound of the airship was the cause of the fire.

Conclusions and design considerations 1 - Back-up clouds. Certain hydrogen clouds will act as “spare tires“ and will not inflate;

in case of emergency they will act as backup balloons (diagram on the left). 2 - Pigment and colouring. Pigments, dyes, solvents, oil-based paints, plastic paints, and paint additives are manufactured from petrochemicals shall not be used. 3 - ETFE and PTFE. For additional safety precautions, fire safety documentation will also refer to protection of ETFE cells and prevent condensation on the exterior skin. According to reference (2), ETFE, or ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, consists of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen, has a higher tensile strength than PTFE, though PTFE will stretch before breaking. It is also more heat resistant, melting at 327°C, which is 60°C more than ETFE. PTFE is far harder to burn, as it requires a higher concentration of ambient oxygen. PTFE, or Polytetrafluoroethylene, is made of long strings of carbon and fluorine atoms. It’s commonly known as Teflon, a non-stick coating. PTFE has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, which means it’s ‘non-stick’. This means it’s a great material for components and fabrics that have lots of wear and tear. The expanded version is known as GoreTex. After stretching, this material remains abrasion-resistant and waterproof, but the tiny pores created by the stretching mean that the material breathes, too.

The same chapter is also illustrated on the following page.

Under the threat of nuclear accidents, The Ministry plans an emergency response system, to properly and pro-actively cope with safety incidents and furthermore to avoid property damage and loss of lives, environment pollution, such as water pollution and air pollution caused by this type of accident. Having understood the causes of nuclear reactor accidents, this response system is described in six steps:

Some of the most serious nuclear and radiation accidents by death toll in the world have involved nuclear submarine mishaps. To date, all of these were units of the former Soviet Union. Reactor accidents have resulted in core damage and release of radioactivity from nuclear-powered submarines. Recurring causes of these accdeints are enumerated below: A― reactor core damage; B― reactor vessel damage;

Emergency Response Actions

According to the scene situation, response services of the Ministry prescribe the actions to take, policies to execute, and rules to follow. Generally, the emergency response services may include firefighting, rescue, decontamination, medical care, evacuation, securing the scene and the perimeter, and traffic control and law enforcement (to prevent lawlessness). The accident severity is the most important criterion to be considered for the emergency response and, thereby, three stages of the emergency response were established and displayed on the left.

As long as the accident needs other support from outside, the regional emergency response would be launched. Emergency staff of CIPs can be called on to control the accident.

The Ministry can control the accident by itself, even without further support from outside.

4. The Organizational Structure of the Action System.

A scientific and complete organizational structure of the Ministry must also have a clearly defined responsibility system. That is, each rescue organization must have clear responsibilities, clear objectives, and tasks to ensure that the emergency rescue would achieve good results. Thus, different roles at different stages in the emergency rescue are shown on the right. (1,2)

5. The Monitoring System. (1) Environment monitoring subsystem

Hazardous nuclear accidents often lead to negative consequences for the environment, which is an issue of serious international concern. Monitoring of environment pollution is an important linkage in accident handling, a pressing task. Its functions should monitoring of environment, water, and compressed air systems to ensure they meet the environmental standards. (2) Weather monitoring subsystem

Weather variation is an important factor affecting the emergency rescue. Rescue efforts will be severely hampered if extreme weather (e.g., typhoon, rain storm, etc.) happens. Usually, the weather monitoring subsystem is founded upon

the local weather bureau, and its functions contain the following aspects: (a) Rainfalls or torrents are seriously considered, and the data are renewed from the computer on a daily basis. (b) The main computer is operated in coordination with stand-by and redundant systems. (c) The data of rainfalls are displayed on the screen in the weather monitoring subsystem. (d) Wind speed, wind direction, stability conditions, cloud cover, temperature and relative humidity.

After receiving an accident alarm, the emergency command center immediately records the accident information, including the time, place, accident type, and accident description, then makes a preliminary analysis and confirmation, and the emergency rescue pre-project will be generated automatically. Simultaneously, the accident information will be issued through the monitoring system and supporting system.

Red alert

Step 3: Launch corresponding emergency plans

After confirming the accident type and the accident region, the accident commander will launch the corresponding emergency plan through the emergency command center.

All emergency rescue orders will be issued through the emergency command center and the emergency rescue project will be carried out. According to the different rescue requirements and functions of teams, the accident and rescue requirement information will be distributed to all the relevant teams which are involved in the rescue. Step 5: Emergency recovery

After rescuing victims and controlling the accident, the accident commander will declare a state of emergency recovery. Its major tasks are: first, to unset the dangerous condition; second, to clear the accident site; third, to investigate the accident; finally, the incident commander, by various approaches, needs to placate the neighboring citizens and reassure the victims. Step 6: Evaluate result and feedback

The emergency command center issues an order that the emergency response has ended when the rescue action is finished. The commander needs to thank all of the members who executed the emergency response system, and then request the spokesperson to hold a press conference to explain the whole process of handling the accident. Meanwhile, the emergency command center will record a detailed accident rescue treatment and evaluate the treatment result. On this basis, the emergency command center will update the emergency resource database and to send feedback for the emergency command center to improve upon. All of the above-mentioned steps must be rehearsed monthly in order to lessen the degree of hazard if an accident occurs.

5.2 Letters To The Parliament

Architects and politicians still need each other today. Architects seek the means to build, while politicians seek the means to physically enshrine their legacy on the places they govern. Of course they frequently have differing goals and visions, and some would prefer to have nothing to do with the other. But the present generation of strong mayors, social activists, and urban design proponents are stirring new convergences of architecture and urban policy. In April 2014, Storefront for Art and Architecture New York initiated Letters to the Mayor, a program designed to highlight the sometimes overlooked relationship between architects and local political authorities, and to facilitate new conversations between them.
