Some comments on the main concepts of the proposal
The proposal is practical
illustrations of an alternative to the way people live in modern cities, trying
to change aspects of individual and collective housing, creating communities
rather than enclosed buildings themselves constitute urban open sets,
neighborhoods capable to contain all the necessary services to make pleasant
and palatable enough the reside in them.
The proposal is defined as
an organization of parts whose layout is based on modular laws, mechanisms
through juxtaposition, overlap and slippage. Thus, the modules are taking a
meandering shape on the horizontal plane and also in height moving endless
forming step sections. This discontinuous, undulating route with a distance of
homes that gives them more privacy. The varied housing staggered arrangement
ensures adequate lighting and ventilation to each, in addition to providing
dynamic and eliminate any possibility of monotony in the whole picture.
Since Norway rains the
majority of the days, it was thought that this scheme will supply winding
height need to be protected from inclement weather, therefore, will be
projected on the surface of the plot generating paths "semi - heated
", accessing housing and enjoying the place of a more pleasant way.
On the other hand, not
least, thanks to this system of organization we can establish urban gardens on
the roofs of houses and on the surface of the plot, thus creating a productive
landscape in which public space can live from different perspectives:
- Passive
form, as a contemplative garden.
- Consuming physically, ie, taking the
public space as a stage for possible commercial activities such as fruit and
vegetable market or by using home gardens.
- Form fully active, so it's the same project itself that invite to visit, just for the pleasure of using.
