PORTABLE SPACES
Consider incorporating design that elevates your living unit
Elevated "Cocoon"
Super Adobe: It's possible to create sandbags from
your unit for building homes or stopping water.
Like the spheres we will be creating,
consider a unit that unfurls when it rains.
A tent/backpack.
A jacket/bag.
A poncho/sleeping bag.
Building
for our own needs: If
we start with what we know we need, we can usually
reach a need that is universal.
A portable boat?
Waterpod
Flock House
Malong
Vinta Sails
Water Systems
Tarps and Rope
Tarpoline
PREEXISTING MATERIALS
Our substructure.
COLOR
Symbolic Color
Pattern and Color (Subverting Royal Colors)
Josef Albers and color: Like Albers, some of our parameters
involve not mixing color, so we have to design with "flat" colors.
Albers "Homage to the Square" (Different tonalities of yellow and orange.)
Questions about site:
What features do we want our site to have?
(trees or buildings to hang our structure from so it looks
like it’s floating, open space or many obstacles?)
Where were migratory spaces within the city
that have since changed use?
What memories should our site evoke?
Where are sites of sanctuary in the city?
Additional questions:
What
are our human needs?
What
do we want to be able to carry with us?
What
problems could the wearable nature of these structures provide solutions for?
What
is sustainability when it comes to design, architecture, and even art?
What
is the life-cycle for the things we will build?
Where
could this project eventually go?
