Bartlett y sus proyectos

La exposición Innovation in Technology Prizewinners está siendo un escaparate de las formas y maneras en que la Bartllet propone el desarrollo de la innovación tecnológica en la arquitectura. La exposición presenta los cinco proyectos galardonados realizados por estudiantes en Grado y Máster (4º y 5º cursos en España) esta escula de arquitectura. Cada proyecto incluye dibujos, maquetas y prototipos que implementan y desarrollan la innovación tecnológica en la arquitectura.

Lugar.- en The Lobby Gallery, Bartlett. Londres. RUK. El evento es de acceso libre y gratuito!
Fechas.- hasta el próximio viernes, 31 de enero de 201.

Max Fordham Environmental Design Prize, MArch Year 5: Sonila Kadillari.

Through a series of drawings PEMY explores the topography, light and gravity simulations of the planet Mars in the terrestrial setting of Florida. A landscape reconstruction of Mars, PEMY uses a variety of scientific techniques to achieve the special environmental conditions of the planet. It functions as the main site for rover autonomous drive testing, temperature resistance and colour calibration, where the public can be exposed to and take part in a scientific landscape architectural instrument. 

PEMY aims to be a self-sufficient landscape instrument that generates its own electricity, using energy from a star to enable the simulation of another planet. It uses a heliostat to follow the sun and secondary reflectors that manipulate the light to simulate light and temperatures of Mars, and solar ponds located in the central voids of selected craters for back up electricity and energy supply after sunset hours.

The project is a proving ground for a new type of architecture, creating a bridge between science and public interest."

Sir Andrew Taylor Prize, MArch Year 5: Unit 22.

"Created on location in Colombia, MAMM Pavilion is a primary structure employing several technological and environmental design strategies to minimise land occupancy, waste, energy consumption and carbon emissions. The building is designed to adapt to the changing weather and environmental conditions of the city of Medellín and all materials and techniques used in construction would be sourced locally, including indigenous wood and guadua (Colombian bamboo). On show are a series of visualisations illustrating the project."

Environmental Design Prize, BSc Year 3: Yoonjin Kim.

"This drawing project imagines a near future London shocked by the depletion of fuel energy. In response to this catastrophe the councils of London start to monetarise energy. Energy now buys you everything you need. Residents of the city earn ‘carbon tokens’ by saving energy in their homes, then exchange these for locally produced food. 

In response to this future scenario, and sited where the River Lea meets the Thames, a building is imagined as a new central hub for a London-wide agricultural cooperative. Members of the cooperative bring their produce to a weekly floating market, come to charge up batteries and collect free power in exchange for ‘carbon mileage’ earned by minimising the carbon footprint in their daily lives."

Making Buildings Prize, BSc Year 3: Matthew Lyall.

"This project looks to develop the potential of 3D lenticular technology, which is often used to create ‘holograms’ on novelty items and greetings cards, on an architectural scale. The technology is imagined as a façade system that would change appearance in relation to viewer position and, as such, simulate motion parallax. A model aims to address technically how this might be achieved. It also seeks to identify with the language of objects that support images (billboards, street-signage, television sets)."

Design Realisation Prize, MArch Year 4: Andrew Walker.

"A series of prototypical experiments attempt to hack into the perceptual relationship between surface and navigation. Drawing upon cybernetic concepts of feedback and the programming of ‘Finite State Machines’, these experiments utilise coding, electronics, audiovisual technology and rapid digital fabrication techniques. Through mirrors, cameras and projectors the prototypes capture a site, distort it, and reproject (overlay) the space with a warped version of itself, creating blurred visual oscillations of constructive and destructive interference patterns."
