The Possible Futures of Architecture The Bienal + Miami 2005, USA
GlobaLocalTecture In collaboration with Rothfuss
International Competition
Our Globe is only a tiny dot in the universe. Yet as we look closer, it makes us feel proud that we have the responsibility to insure that this intricate, fragile balance of our ecosystem is held upright so life can develop and thrive under its wings.
GlobaLocalTecture is looking at our environment from a global to a regional scale; from a rural to an urban scale and from a building to a micro scale.
It provides a skeletal frame work from which architectural solutions can be approached, developed and realized.
It suggests analysis of the natural resources of our planet e.g. wind, tidal, solar... etc. and interweaves as well as transforming these known resources into the components of Architecture in consideration of the law of conservation of energy.
It looks at different age groups in relation to respective social, cultural and environmental needs, paving the way for equilibrium between life heritage, human heritage and architecture.
This project does not offer one to one technical solutions. Instead it should start a discourse promoting the idea of self-sufficiency, sustainable housing and living. It sets parameters for solutions as an alternative to our present understanding of ecology. It gives a platform to specialists all over the world to combine their evolving knowledge. It advertises sustainability to the broad public. We have just begun or someone has been engaging in GlobaLocalTecture.
