BIOME HOMEA House for 203XIt’s great having grandparents living with grandchildren when there is a proper house to do that in, so that everybody has their own space and can be seperate when they want to be. The biome home is a 3 level house connected via elevator creating a different enviroment in commu-nal, private, and working space through atomospheric qualities of light.

THE CITY OF BAUCIS

“After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveler directed towards Baucis cannot see the citY and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another are lost above the clouds support the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themselves: having already everything they need up there, they prefer not to come down.

There are three hypothesis about the inhabitants of Baucis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spyglasses and telescopes aimed downward they nev-er tire of exaiming it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplateing with fascination their own absence.”

The city of Baucis also known as “the city above the clouds” is depicted at night collaged below. The two perspectives show both an outsid-ers view of the city with workers climbing their way up to the city and the other a view from someone at the top of the ladder just about to enter the mist of clouds.

ORTHOGRAPHICPROJECTIONIn this exercise we examined a household object through the lens of orthography. Finding new properties, qualiaties, structures, and relationships. We created a set of measured orthographic drawings of a household object at a 1:1 scale. Including 2 Elevation, 2 Sections, and a plan.In the drawing to the right, the Household Ritual exercise, had us represent our object as it takes part in a household ritual.

UNDERGROUND WASTE COLLECTION

TRASHTASTIC PARKAn Indoor Play AreaLandfills don’t have to remain steaming piles of foul smelling garbage. TrashAstic Park is a sad reminder of how our society is drowning in its own refuse. The park is both a waste facility and a play area for kids. The children can then sort the trash accordingly in bins, take them to their designated slides and have a race against trash. This creates an interacting experi-ence for the children as they learn how to sort and dispose trash.

SECTION

SORT IT OUT!For the deployment phase, I decided to place my building on top of an existing warehouse that I imagined as a later waste facility. So my building sits in the future zoned residential area. Therefore the residents of Secaucus’ Harmon Cove could bring their trash over to the drive thru waste disposal chute which takes the trash and shoots it to the top of the building.

This is created by the process of having the landfill enter the space through a combination of funnels feeding from the roof of the building into “mini landfills”. So that each activity would have there own to sort from. In which the chil-dren can then sort the trash accordingly in their designated chutes.
