mr salary will speak for an hour and then we have the room reserved for
the following our if any of you are free and wish to ask questions,
challenge some of the philosophies involved here. You may do so at that
time
today, it's my pleasure to introduce to you one of the, in my estimation,
one of the rare men in the world who through his creative endeavors has
become a phenomenon in his own lifetime. So if you would please welcome
policy area.
Okay.
Mhm. Well,
the first phenomenon is that I don't speak english, so
that's going to be tough and uh being the theory a little abstruse or a
little difficult to present in one hour, especially for a non speaking
english person. I'm going to show the material first and then we might get
into a discussion. I hope
The material has his mailing, has two parts, one is a construction in your
own is a theory.
The reason to show the construction is to demonstrate that we are also
building and we are also living a normal life. So that you don't believe
that you didn't think that we are only sitting on a desk coming up with
strange ideas. So it's very important for you to go through the building's
first and then get acquainted with the concept and possibly develop a
dialogue about the concepts.
We are in Scott's cell, I mean five miles north of Scott cell and many of
you have been there probably. So you know more or less what we are doing,
but you'll see some of the ways that we have been using to build a very
simple, very small structures that we are using for our purposes. Um,
metal works, ceramics, work drafting,
living and so on. This compound has developed in the last 15 or so years.
Most of the buildings, the last 10 years in collaboration with the
College of Architecture, we had summer workshops And between 15 and 30 or
40 students used to come for six weeks and do some manual work there and
discuss the ideas involved in it. In the last three years we have been
beginning to work on a new side About 70 miles on Black Canyon Highway.
And this is the site for Arcosanti which is hopefully going to be a
building for about 3000 people involved in living, working, producing,
playing All under one roof. So it's a small town for about 3000 people,
built on 10 acres About 25 story high, Occupying 1% of about 860 acres
that we have.
So it's going to be the opposite of a suburban development
because the concentration of the activities will be very high and very
purposely hi and uh, somehow centered around a small urban device which
would be hey um, nucleus for some research on urban problems. So what
we're going to do in the next 10 years, hopefully is to experiment and to
experience and to be the guinea pigs
of a certain environment that we are devising and developing. So the main
teaching, the process would be the learning about what we are doing and
the doing is going to be mostly building for many years.
Mhm mhm, mhm,
mm hmm.
This is the place I was telling you we live and work in and it developed
very positively. There was no plan as such. Every year we build some of
the structures or one or two of them and then the year after we built
something more to accommodate the activities that we were developing.
The first experiment was this slab which became a roof for a little house
and what I did instead of casting,
slip, casting ceramic species in the ground as I used to do, cast a sleep
cast somehow this slab on a mountain made of soil. So this is the earth
house about terabyte early in the dimension and the roof was cast on a
mound of soil.
After that came this studio drafting and ceramics later on this, not
studios in terms there.
And then year by year we enlarge the operation, we, we got into larger uh
work in ceramics, we got into foundry work, we build another house for the
apprentice and lately we built swimming pool, a canopy in a larger
drafting room. We are now stopping the building in this side because we
are concentrating on new side.
This is the view of this
structure from this side.
Thank you.
The work here is all done by young people and myself and my family. So
there is no professional skills involved. This is a passageway coming
through here.
The view of this larger house from this side disorder pool
canopy about the swimming pool,
the little drafting room. Yeah.
Now I'm going to show some of the techniques that we used in building.
This is the building, the construction of this here.
Sorry
that what you see there is silt and has been a packed on a form which is
which is mobile. You see it later. Those are some of the views still on
the compound. This is the north studio looking into the ceramics area,
the ceramics area where we build packing and casting in here. The
courtyard of the larger house, the swimming pool area,
the same courtyard
that you can see what kind of services you get when you cast against the
roughness of the soil. The little house. The first experiment this was the
Rufus was telling you. And this is this is another underground houses, a
ground which is which is a house which is below great Believe it has a
large opening on the South one on the North and the skylights. I'm sorry
about this
business.
The largest drafting room passage. We're going up into the podcast which
is the larger house.
You see this frame was movable. We cast Many of those sections. 11 of
those by moving the frame assembly, putting up the seal cutting into
pageants, putting paper to obtain different cause inside of the shell. Get
pulling
You see the sections for one x 1 supported by the disk unfolding.
And then the last section had to be cast before the scaffolding came down.
This is the keystone and after that you can you have the structure working
in compassion. So you take it off, take off the support. Okay, this is the
area. Oh boy. Where we do islamics were the skylight in cardboard and we
later on we made it into plastic and
concrete.
We are shaping a formula in soil again to make this wall which contains
the killed for the ceramics. This is pure soil has been packed cut worked.
This is a coding of semen to stabilize in a way the pattern. Now we are
pouring.
There is the wall itself, the shell. And this was the phone that has been
demolished afterwards. So we used
soil performing but we use concrete for the structure itself.
We were shaping amount for a vote it's a storage now And this girl is
cutting those ribs and now we're pouring the concrete.
Those are again are sheets of instead of paper cloth, plastic cloth. And
you see the difference between the areas where the cloth is on and where
it's not
the word concrete picks up pigments and soil itself. So you have a
different color.
This was one of the escalated
shells is the preparation of another one using colors on the soil itself,
stabilizing the core.
Just before the casting of the show itself.
After the casting before and after. This is a storage for the found the
area we're building here in the area space which is sheltered for the
foundry work.
By using this technique, we needed bulldozers to excavate under those
shells and the bulldozers cut deep trenches. So we landscape those
trenches by just cutting the soil and packing it. Later on, we stabilized
him by pouring seems concrete shells,
the resulting shell,
but
we are building an enclosure for one of the patios in a large house. This
is a little tunnel going down the ceramics. In this case we used we built
three chronicle arches, one following the next into a spherical shape. And
then we concluded this structured by pre casting and large concealed and
then assembling it.
There is the arch missing the keystone. This is the concrete child. The
seal has been washed away.
There's something of this arch.
No sir, The two final elements
and this is the the keystone cast on the spot. So again you get a
compression
stress is through the urge we put a bench table and owning three houses on
top of it.
It's a good viewpoint. Sunset for instance,
we are casting the walls of the larger house and we used the gun night
where we cast by hand. This was still a solid mound of dirt. When you went
in with bulldozers, we escalated this ceiling of this land, we call it the
cat cast because this shape was cut mainly by a bulldozer caterpillar.
You see the softness of the texture and the color of the soil, acidic
lazing line.
There are two light wells in the house. This is the glass line again,
there's a little ties. Those are panels we built in the house has divided
full of small rooms.
We are moving power poles to make support for the can opener is going to
be sheltering the swimming pool. We are, we are four foundations here 12
poles. You're going to cast the slab and then raise it on those poles.
This is the mold the form for this casting. We are painting it,
we're stabilizing the collar. After the casting, we dug out the soil and
now we are raising it
with two cranes.
These are 30 tons slab
and it went up quite easily.
Now we are piling up dirt. You see the collar that come out by painting
the soil instead of painting the share itself. If you scrub this with a
brush and water you get more brilliant texas pigments but I had to subdue
that.
Now we are digging for the swimming pool.
This was 11 of the few occasions when we had a a crew of professionals and
the reason why we wanted a very good surface for purpose of cleaning the
swing import, keeping the swimming pool clean.
It became almost irresistible that white inside egg. So it was easter I
think at the time four years ago. So we got in and we messed it up.
We were doing a fast job so that we would have a good binding between the
white surface and the color of the chemical bond like fresco boom.
Okay.
The color, we're fairly fast. We had them for four years and then last
thing we got bad allergy and one of the boys put in too much chlorine, I'm
afraid that was So the call almost totally went in two days
we are pre casting sticks of concrete by doing a slab and using dividers.
Metal dividers and reinforcing those sticks with wild land which is a a
number of Strands of steel about an inch long and 10 miles in diameter.
You try them in a mixer and you get a diffuse strength, tensile strength
within the structure. And after the curing, assembled those into an apps.
I called those structural apps is they are a quarter of a sphere shaped.
They have the peculiar quality of collecting the winter sun if they are
exposed to the south. So they become some collectors and it's very
pleasant to work inside here and in the summer day work as a shades so
they somehow fit this climate where in the winter, you like to have the
sunshine in this summer, you really need shade for working. So this is an
outdoor working area, fairly well set for this kind of climate. And we do
the metal work here, the founder, this is you see how we assemble those
sticks at the same time, we were building a very
peculiar shape that is going to become a work area for model making you
see the making of these in the making of that to get
but
mhm
mhm. We are still using some of those techniques on the new side, but in
different ways and for different structures. What we're doing now is
mostly pre casting mm slabs, three cast and then assembled. This was an
amount of soil. We we began the construction from the top, then we cast
this next was this. Now we're ready to cast this one and we're going down
to the floor and so that we end up by doing the footings the last starting
from the day, the ceiling coming down into the fooling and in this case
the students put their own designs,
this is paper cut and applied.
Yeah. And you can see he was putting on this boy was putting up this
parrot.
This is the North Studio planning this is the largest drafting room and
it's almost completed now. So what we did, we bought a flannel cloth three
ft wide, we dipped it in a plaster. We hung this wet cloth on, not afraid
that you don't see in the slide and then when it was dry and stiff we pick
it up and assembled many of them on the scaffolding. So this is a flannel
cloth for that is going to be visible inside. And is supporting the
casting of the shell. This is the beginning of this process. We bought for
sewer pipes, 10 tons of peace. We found out later on when we started to
move my hand and they frame, they framed the glazing.
Yeah,
they see this sewer pipe, telephone poles and glass. Those are the ribs
made in flannel, you sit up in the process of being assembled in the final
surface inside.
Those were very well as little studios, we are drafting room, a drafting
table there, a table in this side and it's very pleasant. Does the space,
those are models, you see later, Those are the Ecologies models. Mhm
We used to have one summer workshop then we got into five or six last year
, we had 11. beginning in March, ending a few weeks ago And uh last summer
we had 250.
Yeah, participant plus the group that we have a more permanent group. So
it was very large and we poured more than 400 years I think of concrete,
we intend to do the same thing next year, but possibly have more people
involved. And so the thing has been developing
Pretty well the last two or 3 years we have meetings, one or 2 meetings
per week with myself and the group,
we support the foundation, the foundation that we have founded to support
this work by making metal work and ceramics work mostly bells, wind bells
because they sell very well. We go from very small bells a few dollars a
piece too. Groups of thousands of dollars a piece.
I do some figures in styrofoam like those things also made in starting
from and then we cast them in. They lost starting from like technique,
this is all over now
keep pushing the wrong button. We were asked by the indian school in santa
fe to build an outdoor theater using the same technique techniques we used
in Scotland because they liked the feeling of the structures. So here we
are building this shell about stage and the staging goes on here here at
different levels on the bridge along this runway also mrs spectator boom.
The stage is 20 ft below ground level.
We are preparing for the casting of these shells.
Mhm
this is the wrong way coming down.
They will see a different texture the soil. Would the embankment made a
very ralph aggregate.
Sorry again,
this is still the theater
the wrong way going into the stage.
How is your mom doing?
Mm
I'll go back for a moment.
Mhm
I tend to use to work in series when I do something. I'll begin with one
idea and I developed different ideas around the same general concept and
uh this was the case for bridges for instance. I made those models in a
few weeks
and those were made in silt. And then what you see now is the transfer
those models transfer into plaster. This was an earlier bridge
with the two mill bridge. You see the background. Some of the designs for
a project of a two million population city
to build bridges.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, this was a tubular structure also. But it has the, the advantages
they observing the two claims, but also sort of in the valley. So if you
have, you can come up from this level up to this side of the valley and to
that side by side person,
the underside of it,
double cantilever bridge,
the same one. This has been landscaped
statement.
A sketch for a one cantilever bridge and model made after the sketch.
This was a large sketch for a large model that I made for the exhibit when
it opened at the Corcoran.
And this is the ball. It's about 45 ft long
and it's a suspension bridge. But instead of having vertical Thailand's
with cables coming up and then going down into anchorages, doesn't have
any anchorages just has one foundation, One on one side, 1 on the other
one. And then those pilots are slanted. They come down there inched here.
So the weight of this Byron. The buttons of the weight of the other one
Through the cable tension and runway in this case three level runway is
suspended from the cable cables. So it's a Suspued bridge with only two
yeah points Coming down into the ground instead of four.
Mhm I begin to be very much industry in urban problems when I got a grant
from the Graham Foundation about 15 years ago I guess and I developed an
idea for A two million population community.
Some of the elements are pretty interesting now with the ecological
almost fair that we had and there was for instance, a quarry along the
axis of the city which was made into a man made landscape. So this is an
open pit mining, let's say, producing gravel and aggregate for building
for building construction, construction and roadways.
And instead of leaving this scar, as we do most of the time this was made
into a park with its own little valley and sub valleys and structure which
were dark cut or tunneled into it. So it's a geology which has been made
into a man made man shaped geology.
Another element was that we had
a belt here sunk into the ground which was the recycling belt taking all
the rejects and waste of the city and coming up with raw materials or
energy or so on. So you would have, you would be closing the cycle that we
leave now open which go for waste pollution and so on.
There were many rings. One inside of the other one, the center was a
learning center. Then there was a ring which was given to small industries
and home industries. There was this larger belt for villages organized in
found ships. That it was another belt which was mainly of marketing, of
standard products produced.
There was a theological center connected through this park to the learning
center.
This was still a very scattered kind of pattern. This is about 13 miles.
And it was from this, the inability to organize this space better than I
got into the three dimensional Concept. And this is the beginning of this
three dimensionality expressed very strongly. This is I think 150 floors
or so. This was the learning center. This was a suggestion of this man
made landscape, geological century here.
Mhm. Yeah.
Now we're getting into the more conceptual work,
those two sentences tend to sensitize the reasons for doing what I'm doing
now the last three or four years. The first one says that there is a
direct relationship between liveliness and complexity.
Things are more lively when there are more complex and this can be checked
within the biological universe constantly from the beginning of life to
this to the present. The second sentence connects this idea of lightness
and complexity with the physical dimensions of the organism, complexity is
somehow coincidentally miniaturization,
and the consequences of those two very simple statements is that if the
city is an expression of liveliness, the city be very complex and
automatically very miniaturized.
It might sound very strange, but we might try to get into this idea in a
discussion and at the end I have some the charts that might help a little
to understand what I mean.
This is one of the pages of the sketchbooks that I work with indicating
very roughly what this translates into. If you take this as a very dia
grammatical
scheme of a city. In the section vertical section, you see below the
ground level, the robot ized aspect of society, which means the production
and the service system for the life of a certain the human group and above
ground you have the urban search structure itself containing the private
and the public sector of the life of this community.
This includes leading, working, producing, playing basically learning. So
it contains the institutions that makes the urban life meaningful.
In order to illustrate this counselor. Which is fairly simple, but it
might suggest that once you you accept the council, you come out with
cubes and uh invade the earth with thousands of little largest cubes
containing Cities. I developed about 40 different schemes just to
illustrate the concept. So what you see from now on, very schematic,
abstract symbols over hold on ideas.
There were some floating suggestions.
This is one of those schemes, There are two main Types of structures. one
is the productive
Germany is the the urban,
this is the water rival here you have the harvesting of the sea and do you
have the manipulation transformation the processing of those products into
mineral chemicals, proteins, who knows what? And then you have the story
and the shipping research connected with them and some of the urban life
connected with this activity. You can cluster many of those in time and
come up with a clustered system connected by those ribbons which contain
urban activities and gardens and so on.
Mhm.
Another scheme based on the same idea floating again, is this one you see
the skeletal system somehow this
and again, this could develop from a small hub which will be the original
town into a larger metropolitan area. If your structure is anchored to the
continental shelf and say, you can have again, production and service
systems below water level and the urban life itself above water level or
encountered with open space. In this case, you can produce energy by using
the tide because you have an anchored stable system working with a
changing yeah level of water. So if we have water reservoirs, you can fill
them and empty to the to the tide flows and produce ability that way.
one example or somehow of a dead or empty our ecology, which is a name I'm
using for the structure is a game.
Adam is a massive block to the flow of water for purposes of the energy
production, water containment, irrigation and recreation that we could add
domestic uses or make this dead dumb block of concrete into a living
system just being after. When we plan them, we planted as a palace as a
car structure instead of being a dense and monolithic construction. So
this indicates one of those possibilities on the outside.
Sorry. Mhm. Mhm. This is a section through here on the inside wall of this
novel structure, against the water storage, warehousing and some
industries on the outside wall, you have Holmes
inside a private sector of the city. From homes, two apartment housing on
the larger systems which are part of the structure. Also, you can have it
production, marketing learning and so you can have a heavy heavy
industries power production in our cities curling up on with water ways
and parking.
You have to keep in mind on a damn side, you have everything already
somehow there from power to water, from recreation to farm possibilities.
And then you have this massive, very expensive structure that small bags
for life.
There's the same schemes, same ideas with different structural scheme.
This is a small one. This is a much larger one.
Mhm.
Some of the example of again, as I was telling you of symbols, Oh, urban
centers are those two? This is about twice the height of the Palestinian
building. So, it's a very large structure, but it's a very, very small
city. It's for about half a million or 400,000 people. I guess suggested
the car naturally stops at the edge of the city. There is no room for for
cars inside of the city, pedestrians are again part of the life of the
city, you can reach everywhere within the city in a few minutes by walking
by elevators, escalators by moving sidewalks except by bicycle knows what.
And you can also reach very quickly the outdoor, which is the real
outdoor is not cluttered outdoor, suburbia or yeah, city park or so on.
As for all the other ones, you have some kind of accent of the private
life on the dividing membrane between the cityscape and the landscape, so
that your climate life is set at the edge of both the cityscape and the
landscape, which I think is very important.
This was a scheme for let's say what you might call it twin city of about
one million population. And keeping in mind that this dimension is no more
than two miles. I think you're still dealing with a system which allows
you to communicate and transfer and transport things very swiftly and very
efficiently. That means that you are cutting down the size of your service
systems to a fraction of what we need not to keep things going discuss for
transportation two for help care, learning, policing,
delivery, tribal and so on. So that you end up by saying that
miniaturization is not just a way of making things more economic, but it's
it's an ethical mhm. Aspect how we are going to function if we're going to
function what we are doing now because we're going to cut into the
drudgery into the soil of society in a very substantial way.
If you adopt the leader scheme, you can have a main logistical systems
cutting through a continent for instance, and then plugged in to this
system which is ensuring section here all along the building. Let's say
you can plug your urban structures, situating every city dweller very
close to the urban institutions, to the land, open land and to the main
transportation system, including airports on the top of the whole system.
If this was adopted, you would have to bridge obstacles and this is an
indication of, let's say, all of us city, bridge county, bridging a canyon
,
the same here, bridging a river.
Those are all integrated into the
oncology book the book. And as I was saying, there were attempts to
illustrate the concept and show almost a limitless possibilities. Once you
introduce the third dimension into your development, Oh, bourbon
communities,
mhm
Sorry,
mm.
Those are very schematic models of other ecologies. This is the same one
indicating the scale, this is the Palestinian building of the same scale.
See another one, there, another one there, This is for a 450,000
suggested population. This about 250,
170,000, This is about 30,000
and this could be a farming community where the farmer can enjoy the urban
life if he desires, so he can live there and going farm as many european
farmers difference. This is a cut out indicating
what could be the city center life many levels within a some kind of
conditioned space so that if the climate outside is very harsh, you can
have a better climate inside without sealing off the city completely
the same model,
a larger scheme than this one.
This is really a cluster of skyscrapers, but it's still being somehow
segregated because they're only connected at the base like we do now, they
are desegregated structurally because they are connected at different
levels. They're connected around the periphery and also regularly
this indicates a module system that you would be able to somehow shape
according to your desires for your private environment.
Sorry.
Yeah,
come on.
Mhm.
Another scheme a little smaller, about 170,000 in this one, we tried with
the model to indicate this variety, possibility of organizing spaces and
structures in very different ways, somehow expressing the individual or
the team for the corporation that would be involved in the it is life. Uh
huh. Yeah,
this is the same one. You was indicated before.
You have very large playgrounds and gardens for instance at this level.
Mhm.
Yeah.
Mhm.
This was the most abstract and the most
Somehow the terrorizing one and it was intentionally very abstract because
I was, as I was saying, I was trying to investigate how you can, what you
can do with
A space with a solid, let's say in this case a cube or one km inside and
how you could organize this base into an urban system. And then again, the
outside skin is the private sector. The inside is the public sector. In
very rough terms.
Listen to inside.
Mm hmm.
Mhm. Uh huh. One of the Diagrams is a space capsule for about 70,000
people. The only reason to go into this and I find out more reasons later
on that at the beginning was to suggest that if we go in outer space with
terrifying gadgets, we should try to bring some of the biological aspects
of life we did. And in this case this is a model showing half of the
structure in this case you're dealing with a cylinder which is rotating on
this axis so that you have a local gravity, zero gravity here and your
weight increases by coming down. So if you live in one of those
skyscrapers, let's say, which are tensile structure by the way, you can
float out of your apartment or your home navigate in this landscape and
it's a landscape because it's lined with vegetation which is part of the
metabolism of this system. So you have fields of wheat or whatever it is
the most important source or vegetal
food and
you are you are inside of a landscape instead of being on top of it as we
have on this. But you are still somehow in some kind of vestigial
uh huh landscape biological character. This is a tensile structure because
it's pushing against the vacuum of space and it's pressurized natural
because you need an atmosphere. You have water ways so you see the waters
surrounding you double your Yeah, going around
and there are many elements that somehow indicate in extreme it's an
extreme case of self reliance of high complexity,
great militarization,
interaction, integration and so on, which are all elements that are
appearing in the cities anyhow and are very important. This was a scheme
for an air terminal that becomes a city instead of being a an airport
which is a known place in the senate. Nobody wants to be there. In any
case you have a city taking its place and you have the landing strips,
you're the taxing of aircraft by cable by putting into this tax yngling
which is this one in section. This is a cut through and that's where your
stations are. So you learned practically inside of the city. One million
population 800 m side 2.5 kilometers in diameter. Again, a very large
building, a very small city and those are all gardens built set on
industrial parks which which are underground. They're connected with
railroads, highways and air traffic. This was for the meadows in new york.
There was talk of a major airport a few years ago for that area. So the
industries, the main taxing ring storages for cars,
domain, private sector of the city and the public sector of the city.
This was in a way a very quick exercise. So it indicates the complexity
without showing human aspects of it. If you want to
there are gardens of different levels. There are promenades,
this will be all green. Mhm
lending from skyscrapers which are surrounding the whole selection.
In this case we need some diagrams showing the swiftness that you have in
circulation and in connecting different events within the structure.
So in a way they can become longer because of your ability to move quickly
and swiftly and without too many obstacles from one performance to the
next. This is the Hancock tower on the same scale. It's Mhm
this is a service repairman, we give minutes and feet in distance and time
gaps.
There was a housewife
executive, you are examples and finally the Arcosanti project. This was a
scheme that I did during the planning for Mississippi so it was somehow
the same scattered kind of organization then I couldn't get this land and
at the same time I was changing my concepts quite drastically. So I took a
small part of this building that much and developed it in something far
more complex, which is the one that we are small working out now this
little scheme of it, we had structures apps again which I was telling you
about character, they are able to afford for spaces which are sheltered
but in the open, Those apps were small and then they became so large that
the wars themselves became 17 ft in thickness, which means a double
membrane with living quarters built in. So we have one kind of module
system here, one another module system, towers one in the beams, different
ones on the roof and then larger platforms for other modules for homes on
top of group
Mr land we are getting It's about 860 acres. We're building on one of
those ridges. This is a bezel tick rock. The area is cutting through,
you're about 3.5 miles of this little rhythm.
And this is the site of the building we began this year too. Do some
construction.
We set up a camp which is going to be a playground later on. So those are
cubicles for two persons each. You're about
25 or 30 of those cubicles now. And we've been using them this organic
garden. We have a 14 days recycling of garbage into compost.
The building is going to be there and we are constructing now in this area.
This is this
this year we got some equipment as much as we could afford. This is part
of the camp. Those are nine x 9 Cubes. This is 12 x 12.
This is again, it's the building site. We are constructing their, we're
setting up a little studio for myself, this is a 12 by 12 Cube is going to
be going to be sent there,
bathrooms, showers,
we build an octagon and one reason to build it, we need a building for
meetings. But the reason to use this is that this is exactly the area of
one of the towers that we have in the building. We have actually two of
those towers. So we have a space which we can somehow get to feel what can
be doing what we can do with it and so on. Yeah,
so this is the octagon,
that's the camp. Two years ago we built a little canvas
Kitchen and eight rooms this year. We set up this much. Then we started
the construction,
Visit one of the foundations for the Casting plant. We have a bolt here
that is going, it's about 60 by 40. It's going to be at the beginning of
casting matching plant. Does the foundations for 100 peers. The vault is
going to arch here.
This is a nice structure which is going to be the ceramics workshop area.
It's going to alan apps. It's an absolutely about 45 Yeah,
well that's one of my panels of my cuba. I'm doing some texture with soil
,
this is mud put on the slab before you cast this.
This is where the vault is going to be. We're going to develop the pre
cast in this back in this area.
This is a, the recasting of the vault and what we did. We got some silt
And we made 12 panels. You see six years and then we're going to assemble
those. We'll use color again on the silk and this is we know and painted
and it's going to be incorporated and pulled away. So you have a real
change in surface and texture. Getting the casting itself.
Okay.
The same technique used here for my cube. This is a section of the
building.
They said textures.
Yeah,
We had about 250 students involved this year. We are planning for about
300 next year
service kinetic plan of the building were constructed now in this area
next year we are building a an eating place where that might become a
restaurant later on eating an exhibition of crabs here. Then we're going
to finish to structure for housing in here. And then possibly we start
another structure here for housing and performing and the year after we
hope we'll start with the main structure.
Now, those spaces which are outside the shelter have different climates.
Those are exposed to the south was exposed to the north, northwest, north.
He's not not these east and west so that in each, in each one of those
spaces you have quite a different climate outdoor very much shaded here.
Summer and winter sunny in the winter is sharing or something here and so
on.
And this is a section of cutting through here, showing some of the
structures inside. It could be changed in time. Does the columns of which
we made the octagon plan building as I was telling you. The roof is fairly
complex and sticking out from the roof of the columns with the platforms
for larger home sides.
This is the large model.
one of the structures comes down to the campsite we're building now in
here.
Sorry about that slide, you can see the scale, there is a person a person
there.
Oh boy.
So to the east side, this would be cut about
color into the landscape.
If you see it from the lower land, you see the importance of the roof as a
big umbrella sharing a very large volume, which is about the best air
conditioning system in this part of the country or in that part of the
country About 2700 ft above sea level.
This suggests the variation that individuals would could do with their own
spaces. If you have a room, there are a double room or a little apartment
, you can somehow design the inside and also spill out with some of your
little balconies or a special windows and so on.
This was a little larger model for some of the structural problems. We
might do something furnishing and interior design as an example. This is
one of the spaces and you look inside of the building on this side and in
the landscape of that side. So you are between the outside and the
landscape and the cityscape somehow by living in one of those we're
building. We have been building this summer part of this structure and
this and we got up to that point in destruction. These ceramics, there'll
be the kills in here. There'll be a playground in the back. That's why
those things put Children between this work area and the living quarters.
Those are the four last slides and
doesn't steal some of the volumes for living and working in the apse is
okay.
Does anyone, can anyone read? Well, english, I can't could anyone come up
and lead?
No.
Okay, well that's the last slide of the building we have we got up to here.
We we pre cast the vault the cord was but we didn't put them together. We
have we build part of this storage, we're going to build this next and we
go on from there.
Uh huh boy.
Yeah.
Mhm
Yeah.
Don't start with that. Okay, mm mm assumption consequence of the porch
it's or divine tree, real life. The universe of mass energy prices of
Imperialism self into spirit. Yeah. Interest bit more massive. Spirit.
Ever increasing couple systems carrying. Mhm mhm The special mechanism of
putting more or less how important. Right.
Mhm.
For this Earth most comprehensive
really.
Uh huh.
This material machine. Previously the government this is rules complexity
and into his days
among the many options offered offers a contemporary man. Thanks to
militarize it.
Mhm mandatory for the spirit
city in the social level. Okay. Yeah. 100 Democratic issue vibrant.
Mhm. To most of our priorities and even some.
Mhm. Experience our banker, real man is of the spirit. Yeah. The real hand.
Sweet.
Right
would you like to discuss? Would you like to ask some questions about this
problem?
