Research's IaaC - Neuron production field (El Perello, Barcelona)

Neuron production field (El Perello, Barcelona)

The topography of an hilly region near El Perello town (Catalunya, Spain) and its climate (in terms of sun and wind) become in principal the departing point in the creation of a clustering prototype with the capability to adjust to these different conditions. The clusters are the grouping of living environments organized around working environments. Since one of the main economic engines of the area is the production of bee honey and fruity-colture, the introduction of bee farming as a programmatic element becomes the organizing factor and the sustaining element for the community. Bees are capable of very quickly start a colony just by the relocation of one queen. In the same way, the community can expand and generate new clusters. By Alfonso Pezzi, Diego Camargo
