Developing Symbiotic Relationships with the Landscape through Architecture
Developing Symbiotic Relationships with the Landscape through Architecture
What is really missing from modern/postmodern architecture is the anthropomorphic dialogue between our buildings and the people who use them. This isn’t necessarily a formal issue (where buildings literally take on a human form) but rather an issue of architecture taking on a more intelligent role in the way it performs.
In approaching this problem, I looked at various types of experimental energy power plants, as I saw these structures as unique performers in the way they transform renewable resources into usable energy. After examining various processes, I interwove their components into four narratives that explain a futuristic symbiotic relationship between humans and machines.
By integrating power generating technology into our cities, we create a more reliable decentralized system of energy harvest and distribution, rather than relying on a centralized outer location. This is turn creates an integrated ecology of self-sustaining organisms that symbiotically coexist rather than relying on a total separa- tion of the separate systems.
