Research's IaaC - Florem project

Florem project

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
