DIRTY ARCHITECTURE
Team: Maung Kyaw Htoo, Yasemin Sahiner, Ana Ilić
Focusing
on urban issues such as `Soil Contamination` and `Brownfield Areas`, we are
developing a temporal infrastructure which functions as ‘Urban Soil
Detoxifier’. The aim is to utilize urban wastelands as abundant material
resources and sustaine life-like properties of soil by incorporating biological
degradation process into architecture and urban design. Our prototype found its
place on the former Tokyo Gas Factory site which is intended for the relocation
of the Tsukiji maket, but has not been occupied due to its high level of soil
contamination.

SWEATING PAPER
Team: Dejan Mojić, Maria Larsson, Guillaume Dumont
We aim to
maximize the performance of the material. Since paper can absorb, contain, and
transport it is utilized as a substrate for water which evaporates and cool the
local environment. The final proposal is a series of structures at Chou-dori in
Ginza, a typical place in Tokyo where extreme urbaniztion has resulted in an
unpleasantly hot and dry street climate.

HYDRATING ARCHITECTURE

Autopoiesis
is a word which could concisely describing the self generated form. it divided
into three parts: raw material, organized structure, and realizing the function
which follows the shape.
In the
raw material analysis, we have 3 levels of components design graded by size
after connection.
1st:
individual components and connections, 2nd: local geometry (is later considered as a single unit of floating farm), 3rd: is
the biggest, which is the global geometry (overall shape of the dynamic system)

DIGESTIVE ARCHITECTURE
Team: Chong WANG, Ryo SAITO, Lin WANG, Risa KAGAMI
As an
application test, one actual site of dairy farm is selected in Nerima area,
Tokyo, which is not so far away from the central Tokyo. In terms of program, it
is supposed to become an urban recycling infrastructure field treating with
waste paper, feeding cows, producing milk and by products like cow dung bricks
and fertilizer. The basic design strategy is applying the wall prototype in the
global geometry forced by site information and programmatic requirements. Like
an evolutional development of living organisms, where a genotype is the blue
print of all of its phenotypes, its ambition is to construct an ecology of
design system, which seamlessly integrates both natural and human environments
linked by adaptive feedback systems of networked infrastructure.
