An intervention in the Delta of the Ebro, is a very delicate procedure. For this case the decision was taken to develop a series of nonpermanent houses, that can be used by different target populations. This populations groups reflect the different cycles of the place, agriculture, tourism, leisure, etc. There are three layers involved. First, a series of control points related to renewable energy (wind and geothermal) this control points are connected to a series intermediate control points which have sensors that react to the activity and provide general services for the population. Finally the individual tents are connected to these spots. This scheme is quite flexible and allows for multiple reconfigurations of space, of cooperation among people, etc. Depending on the people that are inhabiting this temporal housing, the time of the year and other factors, the field has a different blooming of these tents or looks almost undisrupted. We want to create a landscape that is intelligent and not just something to be seen. By Guillermo Iván López Domínguez

This project tries to find some real self-sufficient ways to create a house that is not the compromise one in the aspect of self-sufficiency. The idea of this project is mainly from the traditional Chinese agriculture which name is the mode of paddy field with the mulberry trees. With the studying of this mode plus the methane, I find several benign cycles of self-sufficient house that meet the modern life’s requirement. From this basement, I develop this rotatable house. It should be acclimatization house. And the houses can communicate easily by the rotating of themselves in the neighborhood that make up of this kind house. It can show some figure ground characters from the process of the rotating. At last the digital fabric to show the form of this house model also is an interesting thing. By Zhao Honghao

[agri] blooming project refers to infrastructural components that through combinations can create different environments associated with agricultural production. The main machine is a combination of the basic geometry of a 8sided flower with a tensegrity system that allows to have diverse performance. We proposed hybrid systems through the behavior of the machine that can combine matters to a singular device. Water, biogas, solar heat were finally the main infrastructural combinations that we develop with the function of the tensegrity machine. By Lilieth Aparicio, Walee Phiriyaphongsak, Ntovros Vasilis

Inspired by capsules that generates different spaces inside and by the use of a skin that acts like a filter for improving climate conditions, Morpho ecologic housing challenges a traditional distinction between public and private by proposing a hybrid modular housing system. The system consists on the composition of these capsules generating different spaces for shared living. The system induces passive energy conditions inside the inhabitable spaces and customized levels of communal and intimate space. By Luz Escobar Michel, Massiel Santos, Gabriel Ochoa
