Raw Energy

The main objective of the research is to focus on the construction process by studying and analyzing the potential of a location surroundings. By controlling wind and sea flows, we can benefit from its energy to build up a new realm with the minimum energy production efforts.

Readymade

It is mandatory to not generate more waste. The abandoned spaces and buildings are studied to build the proposal from their structures and foundations. Not only buildings or constructions are considered ready-made objects. Natural accumulations such as sand and sediments are indicators of energy flows that affect the area. Both of them are part of the readymade to build up from.

Synergies

The final project is divided into three different segments: Dune, wall and park. All of them are interconnected to strengthen each other. The wall works as a wind flow controller. Keeping the sand away from west winds, but also reducing the speed of flow affecting the park. The dune feeds the beach of sand working as a sand bank. It is also the habitat to local plants that were once removed from their place. The park is the catalyst to enlarge the dune in early phases but also is the plant nursery to have permanent access to treat damaged flora.
