Research's IaaC - Berlin Luft

The project starts with the analysis of some relevant phenomena that take place in Berlin: the abandonment and reuse of old objects and furniture through the market, covers the economical self-sufficient aspect, the occupation of empty space in the building and the creation of new activities in them , covers the social aspect, and the rapid climate changes, the environmental one. Four floors for the market, ten empty floors for activities and six empty floors for living spaces compose the functional program of the building. The intention is that people can occupy these empty spaces in a temporary way, and organize their space and activities with the objects that they find in the market. The energetic building program is composed by an external captation system, created by tubes of silicon nets and transparent solar panels, a floor distribution and H2 storage system for the energy , a central part with installations and vertical water distribution and a system of hanging tents to divide the space in a quick time.
