Research's IaaC - Amsterdam

A floating structure that implicates three systems of social involment. Amsterdam inhabitments, tourists and events that are recessing or co-exist according to an annual calendar, defining a dynamic social identity of the building. 01 Greenhouses_ rented by local people for cultivation. 02 Camping_ temorary dwellings (tents, boat houses) placed in a network hanged by vertical elements (antenas), using collective spaces (kitchens, wc, device) that are accumulated vertically (antennas) for energy economy reasons. 03 Festivals_ temporary spaces accumulated in three antenas, hosting events according to the local festival calendar (sailing exposition, aquarium, media laboratories). Events that iimplicate water flows and pumping systems in the vertical axis. The events\\\\' system concetrates the energy infrastructure system that consists of windmills, hydroelectric generators and hydrogen batteries, providing with energy the camping area and the greenhouses. The building functions as a battery charging during the winter months, when there are no events, and consumping it during summer. The transparency of the structure allows the building to act as a real time statistic machine that declares social data. By Fanni Natou
