name of project:
Institute for New Media
Project is based on creating space that is a line between closed and open, and that integrates free energy contained in the natural environment. Two of the major factors that shape the area are weather and water.
Connecting the Institute for New Media and current sociological aspects of block 45, is combined in this space that is alternating sequence of actions depending on the pace of climate change. Underground space, occurs as a statement of the lesser temperature variability, and the apparent isolation; connectivity with the river as a desire to feel closer to the coastline in further part of the block 45.Mapping of water circulation in all three states (liquid – river / irrigation, solid – ice, gas -evaporation from the pool in winter), as curved movement with the limits of free surface, led to series of ramps with different slope and width, depending on the activity for which it is designed and the way the water would have to move through it.
The ability for each user to independently determine what is the optimal temperature and thus to locate himself at a certain level (in summer – colder air, winter – warmer air) and the desire to join activities of “schoolyard” with the activities provided for work of the institute, where there is always present motion, opposite to the uniformed and sterile spaces.
