GlobaLocal LIVING ENVIROMENT
In collaboration with Rothfuss
Exploring the living environment from the global to the community scale in
relation to the law
of conservation of energy.
Law of conservation of
energy/global strategies
Utilization of typhoon/ wind energy
Incorporation of tidal
energy
City as solar farm
Community as energy farm
Providing a skeletal frame work for
what could be approached, developed and realized, it suggests analysis of
the known factors of our planet e.g. wind, tidal, solar... etc. and
interweaves as well as transforming these known energies as natural
building materials into the components of constructing a community, for
example utilizing the situation of typhoon to collect wind energy. It
covers different age groups in relation to respective social, cultural and
environmental needs, paving the way for equilibrium between different type
of energies and community. This project does not offer one to one
technical solutions. Instead it sets parameters for solutions as an
alternative to our present understanding of energy. It starts a dialog on
promoting the idea of new energy efficient community. |
