THE MOMENTUM
Group Project, 2020
In the present work we are exposing our design proposal for THE NEW
CAMPUS, with the approach to the topic of the sea.
It is an interdisciplinary project that plans a university campus of the future,
with predictions that help us to understand the present. It is an experimental
project that seeks to provide the university with a multitude of services
and subjects to be dealt with. Our topic is the sea, which is why we have a
proposal that offers a disruptive space surrounded by the sea itself.

We approach the momentum understood as the individual experience of
being one moment at the surface and the next diving into the unknown. The
shift your senses encounter as you descend. You experience getting wet,
pressure on your ears, blurry vision and you stop breathing.
The depths of the sea take an important role in this journey. A splash in the
Mediterranean. For a moment, it bobs quietly on the surface. The surface
frothes as the water poures in—then silence, as the top of your head dips
below the waterline, and the ocean absorbes it.
This idea motivates us to design a place that allows to experience the momentum.
It is a unique and peculiar installation that you can visit how many
times as you want, with your colleagues from university. Between 9:00 AM to
21:00 PM and depending on the tides, this place makes you disconnect from
the outside and connect with your inside and the sea. When you get there all
the usual day-to-day tensions disappear and you get a sense of clarity. It’s a
sensory overload that makes you unable to think of anything else but living
the momentum.

These icons show the 5 ways of achieving the momentum
The space is a structure that embraces the full experience of the Momentum.
We have designed a pier installation that works as the way to dive into
the water in 5 different ways. It has the intention to make people achieve
the Momentum.

We propose a round structure of 76 meters in diameter located 80 meters
from the shore that is connected with the campus through a passage way.
The structure is made up of 3 levels connected to each other by ramps.
Level -1 is located 50 cm under the water and works both to enter and exit
the water. It is connected to level 0 by two slopes. Level 0 is located above
sea level and is reached from the walkway. In this level there are ropes to
jump into the water, the metal bar and a hole to dive into the water.
Level 0 has a ramp that connects with Level 1 with 5 meters of height. On
this floor there is an extreme slide to get to the water with speed, a very
high platform to jump and another diving hole.

The philosophy of our products is to facilitate momentum. We have created a ritual in which
you dress the body to live this experience. This concept goes further and involves giving an
intention to the clothing.
Our products have the power to transform. It is not an ornament or an accessory to good
looking, it is a way to acquire a sensation, a ritual transformation.
The fact of choosing a leotard finish is because comfortable garments are usually revealing,
especially the tights that are the imprint of a second skin, from which nothing escapes.
We want to achieve that feeling when the body shakes before entering the water. To achieve
this inner strength, each and every one of the products has a rubber band that is wrapped
around the body, embracing it and creating the pressure we are looking for.

Momentum
Type 1. Foot
The foot is designed to prevent slipping when jumping. In the
ergonomic study we realized that when we jump the last part
that separates from the ground is the front part of the foot.
Therefore it is unnecessary to spend material to cover the
whole foot, since the front part already works perfectly.

Type 2. Hand
The design of the hand is made to avoid slipping and scratching
the hands when you throw yourself from the ropes. In
the ergonomic study, we analysed the parts of the hand that
come into contact with the rope and that might get irritated
when you throw yourself.

Type 3. Knee
The knee brace is made to prevent you from slipping and
scraping the back of your knee when you hang from the bars
upside down. In the ergonomic study we analysed the parts of
the knee that come into contact with the bar and that could
be damaged when you hang yourself to jump into the water.

Momentum
Type 4. Top
In the case of the top, it does not protect any part of the body
from rubbing against anything, but it does offer a jumping posture
to avoid getting hurt when you fall into the water or dive.
It is a position of retreat with the arms attached to the body.

Type 5. Bottom
The trousers make easier to slide down the slide thanks to the
slippery material at the back. It also protects from the rigidity
of the materials used in the space. In the ergonomic study we
analyzed the back parts of the body that make contact with
the surface of the slide.
