- Decentralized Infrastructure Urbanism
The objective is to develop an instrumental architecture deployable in a variety of contexts driving a range of material production (prototype development and revenue generation) and immaterial productions (knowledge exchange and business opportunities).
Surplus heat serves as the major instrument to form urban fabrics and communities.
Densification is hypothesized to be productive as they open up ways to exchange and cascade energy consumption.
Various heat-demanding programmes can be introduced foster the social interactions and development of communities. On a metropolitan or territorial scale, the formation of clusters in strategic locations contributes to a larger network of exchange (an energy grid / innovation clusters grid)
New energy paradigm results in new architectural typology that transform all post-industrial docklands into exchange hub of energy and knowledge.
