WEBVTT 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.240 No. 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:13.639 Mhm. Uh huh. Everybody can make it. Okay. Yeah, but not with my style, can 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:19.407 you? Well this is the this is the program. 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.206 Two. 00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:29.567 I have a paper which is entitled energy Or two sons are ecology. So this 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.686 will be the two sons program. And I'll begin with number one matter spirit 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.546 , cooperation, confrontation, complexity, militarization. Number two. Our 00:00:40.579 --> 00:00:47.057 ecology. The concept the models, the prototype Arcosanti. Number three 00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:52.497 energy cosmic potentials. The vegetable trap, 00:00:52.530 --> 00:01:00.530 green house effect, hydroponic and chimney effect, apps effect. And some 00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:06.417 example in Kazanjian Arcosanti. Then comes the subject itself. Two sons 00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:13.087 oncology. The concept the layout, the model and the model is exposed to 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:19.296 the sun on Celestis and equinox. So here the winter solstice, the summer 00:01:19.329 --> 00:01:23.206 solstice and the one equinox. 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:30.180 This is a slide about a parallel between the megalopolis and their ecology. 00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.140 And at the beginning there are some visual sequences on the bridges which 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.117 were the beginning of the incorporation of more than one function in one 00:01:40.150 --> 00:01:42.486 structure. 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:50.519 This scheme will come up now and then to explain where we are. 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.106 Uh this is a detail 00:02:11.139 --> 00:02:19.139 or this and it happens to be a ramp besides being a bridge, 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:31.039 they show the progression from a sketch to a model. 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:43.577 This is where you suspension bridge. The mother was 45 ft I think. And the 00:02:43.610 --> 00:02:49.816 peculiar character is that instead of having vertical Thailand's it has 00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:55.047 slandered pilots. So this island works against that one through the cable 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:59.846 tension And on the tension on the cables. You put the highway in this case 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:07.879 a three level highway or a cars, trains and busses, drugs and then maybe 00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:18.207 utilities. 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:26.240 That was a sketch of the model for the model. 00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:34.740 Okay, now, I'm trying to explain how I got to the archaeology concept. I 00:03:34.909 --> 00:03:42.909 begin with a very general statement about reality uh, three 00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:49.916 so called layers, what you might call layers, the deterministic way, which 00:03:49.949 --> 00:03:55.946 is the universal mass energy, the physical universe and not being just a 00:03:55.979 --> 00:04:01.900 state or condition with the process. You can call it a cosmo genesis. 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.439 According to science, we think that this universe works according to laws 00:04:08.990 --> 00:04:14.606 of conservation of energy. Now I listed here some of the characteristics 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:21.796 that somehow relate to the problem of the city. The city was a social and 00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:27.486 cultural instrument. So I'm saying that this universe is anthropic, 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.277 statistical, rational, gradual, predictable, similar herbal and structural 00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:38.106 , and I call this the word of indifference 00:04:38.139 --> 00:04:44.947 uh originating from this universe from this uh substrate. Er there is the 00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:50.296 genetic way the biological universe. And these you could say works 00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:55.217 according to laws of concentration of energy, any organism or any society 00:04:55.250 --> 00:05:00.916 of organisms. It's a it's a concentration in very specific ways, all of 00:05:00.949 --> 00:05:06.527 the action, which means energy. This is a biogenesis. Again, it's a 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:13.406 genesis it's an evolutionary process. It is instinctual, unconscious 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:18.707 duration als evolutionary irreversible, selective, nonce, immutable 00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:24.067 sensitize social and morphological, the world of indifferent or mean of 00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:28.476 innocence. Uh, where were you having difference here here? You have 00:05:28.509 --> 00:05:34.596 innocence in a sense that there is a sensitization here, which somehow 00:05:34.629 --> 00:05:38.906 reject indifference at the same time, you can only speak of a sinful 00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.106 animal, 00:05:41.139 --> 00:05:46.406 good and evil somehow is absent in this universe, 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.726 supported by those two and utterly depend on those two is the cultural way 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.856 the human way. And you could say that this this way works according to 00:05:56.889 --> 00:06:00.937 laws of implementation of energy. If you take the mental and spiritual 00:06:00.970 --> 00:06:07.077 energy as a form of energy. So this is the only genesis it is mental 00:06:07.110 --> 00:06:11.286 countries duration, als evolutionary irreversible, willful, non Simula ble 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:17.007 , compassionate, social, manipulative and formal. This is where the idea 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.806 of good and evil appears. 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.426 If you take the genesis of the of the earth and then you see the 00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:32.459 development we did of life. You could say that you move from from 00:06:32.709 --> 00:06:39.567 insensitivity or dominus into sensitivity and grace. So you have a really 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.106 transformational matter into something more subtle which we might call 00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:53.139 mental stuff thinking staff spirit, what tells 00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:06.856 now, I'm moving slightly closer to the question of the city and I'm saying 00:07:06.889 --> 00:07:14.889 that somehow coming from this kind of very general scheme, I could say 00:07:14.949 --> 00:07:19.337 something of this or consequence of the fortuitous divine triggering of 00:07:19.370 --> 00:07:22.437 life. The universe of mass energy is in the process of terrorizing itself 00:07:22.470 --> 00:07:26.767 into spirit. This process 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.027 intrinsic to this metamorphosis of mass energy into spirit is the ever 00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:34.197 increasing complexity of systems carrying on the transformation you begin 00:07:34.230 --> 00:07:40.827 from the simple, relatively simple the atomic structure, the structure of 00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:45.397 the atom and physical particles into a system which become more and more 00:07:45.430 --> 00:07:51.457 complex up to the mind of man, to the brain, which is somehow the epitome 00:07:51.490 --> 00:07:57.306 of complexity. As far as the single organisms goes, 00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:00.947 the special mechanism of putting more into less, allowing for 00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:04.777 implementation of complexities in miniaturization process. You cannot 00:08:04.810 --> 00:08:11.517 avoid the necessity of making things smaller. When you're dealing with a 00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:16.416 constant implementation of complexity, complexity can only be achieved by 00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:19.707 putting more into less 00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:23.096 on this earth. The most comprehensive structuring body and becoming 00:08:23.129 --> 00:08:27.087 refrigeration in the city. If you move from the from the single organism 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:31.007 into the social organism and you stay with the insects. For instance, you 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:37.927 see that one of the best example is the the antidote or the beehive. There 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:45.606 you have a very good organization in social terms of of a kind of life 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:53.639 which is mostly instinctual defined by by the matrix of of a genetic um 00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:02.407 development and it's a social life but has nothing to do with the cultural 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:08.337 aspects of life nor with regions nor with the aesthetic. So as an example 00:09:08.370 --> 00:09:13.996 of a social city, you have the beehive. You move into the human, you must 00:09:14.029 --> 00:09:18.577 transfer hand the beehive and move into the actual city which is an 00:09:18.610 --> 00:09:23.126 instrument, not just for the social, economic and political development, 00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:31.159 which is a system for the development. You mean this 00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:38.996 moving somehow along this line. You can say that then the city, This 00:09:39.029 --> 00:09:43.276 materialization machine is governed governed by the physical energetic 00:09:43.309 --> 00:09:48.307 rules of complexity, militarization 00:09:48.340 --> 00:09:51.106 among the many options offered to contemporary man. The context 00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:54.026 miniaturize cities the least option on it as much as it is mandatory for 00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:57.787 the spirit of the earth. This city is a social economic, moral cultural 00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:02.006 imperative. And under demographic pressure is also survival necessity. 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.646 This gives the lie to most of our priorities and demythologize this 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.346 practical men because this paradox are bankrupt. The young man is the man 00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:18.276 of the spirit. Please supposedly makes sense if you accept this 00:10:18.309 --> 00:10:23.307 transformation of matter into spirit, which is which is embodied in 00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:29.707 evolution of life on this earth. 00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:35.087 Now in this game of reference, there is the question of of militarization 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:43.120 , which is about an implosive process. So here I'm trying to To illustrate 00:10:43.509 --> 00:10:49.506 why the implosive process is the living process and not the explosive one. 00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:52.996 I'm taking his seat as an example, the vegetable, the animal, the human 00:10:53.029 --> 00:10:56.797 and the social seed originated cycle of gathering, organizing. Mattering 00:10:56.830 --> 00:11:00.907 progressively complex and responsive organisms. 00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:04.967 If you plant a seed into the ground and you watch the three developing 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:10.707 from the seed, you can you can interpret that in two ways. one is that the 00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:17.157 city explodes into something bigger than itself Germany is to see the seed 00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:21.817 as the center of an implosion process, which is the environment gathering 00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:27.337 very selective ways around the seed and in organizations which are very, 00:11:27.370 --> 00:11:34.677 very peculiar. So in a way you can see uh The three The synopsis as some 00:11:34.710 --> 00:11:40.317 kind of a collection selectively of the elements composing environment 00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:47.407 into a living system which has an interior list kind of existence. 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:53.207 This kind of activity presumes a totally cooperative 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.917 at work. The living is a cooperative clothes and other this integrated one 00:11:57.950 --> 00:12:02.697 , which happens to be death. It is an implosive process, not an explosive 00:12:02.730 --> 00:12:05.596 one. It is a major regional process which favored the ever more complex 00:12:05.629 --> 00:12:10.087 interaction they can be coming. You really miniaturized in very special 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:15.616 terms, the surrounding which is somehow scattered and a hazard lee 00:12:15.649 --> 00:12:22.427 scattered into a very definite morphology which has specific functions and 00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:26.506 a highly organized 00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:28.707 structure. 00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:33.246 You could stay this in those two politics in any given system. The 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.967 loveliest countries. Also the most complex in any given system. The most 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:42.606 complex quantum is also the most militarized and uh 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:49.106 in a way to represent this forcefully or at least it seems to me clearly, 00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:56.146 you can take a certain amount of matter, let's say, a pile of sand That 00:12:56.179 --> 00:13:03.376 weighs 150 lb. And then see what this pile of sand becomes when it becomes 00:13:03.409 --> 00:13:09.677 a living organism, a person, the components are identical, the atomic and 00:13:09.710 --> 00:13:16.407 subatomic structure, but the end result and somehow the 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.386 the trust of it. It's immensely different. So you have a miracle there 00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:29.419 which transformed a pile of dead matter into the pulse setting an active 00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:35.317 organism. And this can only be achieved by putting more and more and more 00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:40.577 into this amount of matter which otherwise would be very elementary, very 00:13:40.610 --> 00:13:48.610 simple and almost deprived of any reality. 00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:57.006 Now, moving into the ecology, which is based on this guideline, 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:03.427 I'm saying that we have a number of problems which are very various very 00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:09.817 present to our society, especially the Western society. We deal with 00:14:09.850 --> 00:14:14.876 exploding population, which is a universal problem. The ecological problem 00:14:14.909 --> 00:14:19.616 , the terminal waste, which is connected with the ecological problem and 00:14:19.649 --> 00:14:26.707 the problem of or pollution, which is a problem of waste 00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:32.506 conservation, air, water and and land. 00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:35.006 Um 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.407 we have a problem of affluence. They're connected with the problem waste. 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:46.787 The question of segregation, which is not a simple separation of ethnic 00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:54.820 groups or social status or welt degrees very It's a question of really 00:14:55.700 --> 00:15:03.276 separating all the different kinds of activities and and systems and 00:15:03.309 --> 00:15:07.526 institutions that are serving them. So it's an environmental questions. 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.787 Just for you, a social question 00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:18.807 and then we have the energy problem which is very present to everyone now 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.537 and the question of the future, do we have a future that we don't? Well, 00:15:22.570 --> 00:15:28.606 what I'm studying here that if we are serious about this set of problems, 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:36.639 then the answer, it's new nowhere else, but but the answer is still a mean 00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:42.157 to something which is greater than those functions and this something. 00:15:42.190 --> 00:15:45.807 It's the quality of life. 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.457 So what I'm saying that the ecological commitment this this idea of going 00:15:49.490 --> 00:15:57.146 about developing the landscape for mankind. It's only an instrument to a 00:15:57.179 --> 00:16:05.006 better level of consciousness and more creative condition 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:11.526 at this point I'm trying to move from the from the conceptual into the 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.077 visual 00:16:15.110 --> 00:16:21.846 and the problem was how to try to express this paradigm in terms of urban 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:28.986 systems. So out of the 45 or so ideas I developed about 30 for the ecology 00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:34.006 for their college. A book 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:40.106 most of you I've seen also I want stop 00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:42.907 too long. 00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:50.940 This is a floating system. It has a yeah production or transformation 00:16:51.330 --> 00:16:57.856 subsystems where you take from the sea, the materials that you after and 00:16:57.889 --> 00:17:02.207 those can be minerals, proteins 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.907 or uh 00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:09.306 uh huh chemicals 00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:15.597 and slowly you can develop a certain autonomous life in those centers and 00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:20.877 then when many of the centers become clustered you can develop urban 00:17:20.910 --> 00:17:28.910 ribbons so that the whole system becomes a metropolitan floating center. 00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:34.976 So you define a civilization of the sea for instance which could have a 00:17:35.009 --> 00:17:43.009 different character from a civilization of the of the land. 00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:50.927 This was would indicate a digestive process. You take the water, you take 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:55.786 off the water, the materials you you need in a new period out you 00:17:55.819 --> 00:18:00.006 transform it, you stole it and you can ship it and then we developed 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:05.207 research and urban life the water level. It's about there. The same scheme 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:11.907 here, same idea but a different structural layout 00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:16.917 again a small community which can develop into a large amount to point in 00:18:16.950 --> 00:18:23.107 the system in time. Just the water level. 00:18:23.140 --> 00:18:27.506 Mhm. 00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:33.867 The dam, it's a good example of a dead or collagen somehow because it's a 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:40.457 big, it's a big structure which could contain a large population so that 00:18:40.490 --> 00:18:48.207 it would become a mini city. The only thing to do would be to carve the 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:54.407 the monolith and make it into a perforated structure which could be 00:18:54.440 --> 00:19:00.107 naturally as strong if not stronger than the model it. 00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:08.140 And by doing so, you introduce life into the, into this fairly substantial 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:14.607 structural system. You have water for a number of things power, irrigation 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:20.607 , domestic use and recreation. 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:28.046 So if you cut through there, you could say something of this kind come 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:33.717 through there, you know, the water body And then two diaphragms one 00:19:33.750 --> 00:19:38.506 against the water for warehousing and so on, german for residential 00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:42.667 purposes, which is the one you see the and then the other structure which 00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:47.897 are integral part of the main structure would be for the public and 00:19:47.930 --> 00:19:52.897 commercial and productive and learning and health and so on. So you still 00:19:52.930 --> 00:19:56.687 have a separation of functions in a way. You have an integration of them 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.226 all because it's a big building with a very tiny city not comparable to 00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:09.299 phoenix For instance, which is about 400 square miles or 300 square miles. 00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:14.140 The same idea of in much smaller terms over them becomes a center for 00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:26.707 research or a Center for Learning or 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:34.740 gonna call it. Yeah. Resource area that center like much larger one. That 00:20:35.089 --> 00:20:43.089 thing was over 100,000 population, suggested 00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:50.407 some of the let's say land our colleges. This was a twin city like and the 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:55.506 size is such that you can walk throughout it, put a bicycle throughout it 00:20:55.539 --> 00:21:01.796 or take elevators, escalators and so on. So if this dimension is less than 00:21:01.829 --> 00:21:09.829 two miles, you you're part of intense urban life at the same time, you can 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:17.480 very quickly leave the urban landscape and move into the open landscape. 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.240 This I think there's a number of things for one. It cuts the size of all 00:21:25.190 --> 00:21:30.387 the services to a fraction of what they needed. Now by doing this, you 00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:36.207 naturally cut not just the bulk, the services themselves, but the 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:42.806 bureaucratic machinery that are needed to run those services. 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.006 Mhm. 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:50.617 Those are different examples of, again, trying to illustrate in symbolic 00:21:50.650 --> 00:21:55.707 forms What the three dimensionality 00:21:55.740 --> 00:22:01.127 produces into the city escape. And the type of dimension is necessary in 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:05.786 order to militarization. Because it's on the vertical dimension that you 00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:13.026 need only about 10 ft uh distance between between performances. So that's 00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:19.506 the dimension which becomes the frugal dimension. 00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:22.707 Uh huh. 00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:30.347 And I have to remind you that the logistics of anything that has a life, 00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:36.476 it's a fundamental, it's the basis for the life of the system. Poor 00:22:36.509 --> 00:22:43.046 logistics means a poor life. You can think for a moment if if the brain 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:47.687 doesn't doesn't get enough blood for even a few minutes you lose part of 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:55.720 the brain cells. Logistics are absolutely d fundamental support of any 00:22:58.059 --> 00:23:01.907 kind of consciousness. 00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:07.246 The automobile stops at the edge of the city, there are no roads, only 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:14.066 streets in the city, pedestrian malls, etcetera. So the automobile could 00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:22.099 not even get in if if he wanted 00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:36.217 some very quick models of some more details. Models. You see this is These 00:23:36.250 --> 00:23:41.607 3000 suggested population. This is the in Palestine building. 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:47.947 This was about 30,000 thing was one of them. This is 170,000, and some 00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:53.877 1000 400 and some 1000. And then again the Empire State building. So 00:23:53.910 --> 00:24:01.910 you're dealing with a very large building with a very tiny city, 00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:09.407 this this one. And you have the skill, death, Empire state building. 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:16.736 Uh huh. Yeah, all these models are, as I was saying, mostly symbols. They 00:24:16.769 --> 00:24:20.137 are very abstract. In this case for instance, there is indication of many 00:24:20.170 --> 00:24:25.786 levels inside and those many levels will be mainly for for the aspects of 00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:30.006 the city which are not the private aspects. So you might have some 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:37.697 production, commerce, exchange, okay. Cultural activities and so on. And 00:24:37.730 --> 00:24:43.427 the outer skin of the building would be where you develop most of the 00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:51.460 private sector in the city. 00:24:53.430 --> 00:24:56.506 I suppose it for about 270,000. 00:24:56.539 --> 00:25:01.046 And somehow it suggests that the city can develop at least in two in two 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:06.897 phases to this phase. In that phase. There are very large open spaces 00:25:06.930 --> 00:25:12.947 midway here and here we try to suggest that the general scheme might be 00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:19.097 given a certain point. The detailing of the city can constantly change and 00:25:19.130 --> 00:25:21.806 be in a way personalized. 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:28.107 The intervention of the, of the user in a very different way 00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:33.367 by some design of a design. But the architect that he chooses or the 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:39.006 planet or whatever it is, this is one of the large area expanses coming 00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:47.039 out from the main body. This is a little stadium, 00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:54.117 naturally, you don't have to go this far in structural and organizational 00:25:54.150 --> 00:26:00.107 terms to have an oncology. You can be very simple, in fact, there is that 00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:05.967 we have a photograph or one building city in Siberia and it's just a 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.107 rectangular 00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:16.140 yeah, plan, maybe 20 story high and it's like a block, a super block. 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:25.427 This was a little bigger about 200 and some 1000. And it's a cluster of 00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:31.407 vertical structure that you can compare to a skyscraper to skyscrapers. 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:35.357 But by the fact that being connected at different levels, you come up with 00:26:35.390 --> 00:26:40.326 an integrated system instead of having a segregated system. And this 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:45.897 involves logistical swiftness, which you don't have when you, when you're 00:26:45.930 --> 00:26:53.930 there, you have to go down and oh, 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:03.707 This was a little larger one and one of the scary one 00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:10.387 because it's so absurd. Yeah, but it was an exercise in trying to, to give 00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:15.506 yourself a certain volume and, and try to organize it. See how you could 00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:23.539 subdivided in blades and spaces which are open but sheltered and so on. 00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:35.539 This is the interior there 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:46.576 A space capsule that could serve about 70,000 people. It's a, it's a 00:27:46.609 --> 00:27:52.207 cylinder, you see half of it there and it has a rotation on this axis. 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.076 And so between the factory, it's a, it's a tensile structure because there 00:27:57.109 --> 00:28:01.347 is an atmosphere and then outside your the vacuum. So it's a pressurized 00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:07.197 system and the federal, it rotates this way makes for a very light 00:28:07.230 --> 00:28:12.867 structure but very strong. And the rotation causes local gravity. So you 00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:17.867 are standing inside of this landscape because the cylinder is lined by 00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:25.236 vegetation, which is part of the food production of this community. And 00:28:25.269 --> 00:28:31.486 you can fly out from your residence by your own flapping of your arms and 00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:36.607 so on, like swimming in there. 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.806 Um, 00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:46.046 uh, this is the center of the city with a little, with a little river that 00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:51.597 it's a, it's a water circle, like a ring. So this is where you have more 00:28:51.630 --> 00:28:55.586 density of, of action. 00:28:55.619 --> 00:29:00.306 And by working on this, you realize some of the extreme that the city has 00:29:00.339 --> 00:29:06.137 to face sometimes like self reliance the character of the interiors as 00:29:06.170 --> 00:29:10.217 against the character of the exteriors, the interior ization of the whole 00:29:10.250 --> 00:29:15.847 system, the evidently the militarization and question the efficiency 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:23.306 question, the desegregation question 00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:25.707 and the conservation 00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:29.506 up to a limit. 00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:34.576 Adopting the idea of the linear city, which I think it's, it's a good idea. 00:29:34.609 --> 00:29:39.326 You can see it in archaeological terms, which means the containment on 00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:46.496 the trans vessel dimensions so that no matter how you develop the single 00:29:46.529 --> 00:29:50.597 plugged in communities, which can be a different sizes, you're always very 00:29:50.630 --> 00:29:55.107 close to the main transportation system that in a section will be there. 00:29:55.140 --> 00:30:00.476 Which is there were there. So you have main transportation systems of old 00:30:00.509 --> 00:30:06.516 kind from rubber wheels, two aircrafts, diplomatic and so on. And then you 00:30:06.549 --> 00:30:10.397 are their colleges, the cities of different kinds, different dimensions, 00:30:10.430 --> 00:30:12.806 different 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:17.296 productive cycles. So wherever you are in those oncology, you are very 00:30:17.329 --> 00:30:24.046 close to this logistical ring to the urban life and also to the open 00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:30.816 landscape scale. Uh, I would say it in positive building. It's about that 00:30:30.849 --> 00:30:33.707 much. 00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:38.586 This was a very sketchy, very, very quick cardboard model we made at the 00:30:38.619 --> 00:30:40.607 courtroom. 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.707 So you should take it with 00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:49.586 some reservations. But this stands for for an airport, which could be on 00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:53.677 the roof of the mystery No city every every once in a while you can have a 00:30:53.710 --> 00:31:00.306 major airports or smaller landing strip. 00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:08.339 Now if you adopt that criteria, what you cannot do is to break the ring 00:31:08.529 --> 00:31:12.397 because if you break the ring, you break the logistics. So you have to 00:31:12.430 --> 00:31:18.597 keep carrying this corridor and and close the ring. So you have the best 00:31:18.630 --> 00:31:22.387 kind of logistics, in which case you might have an obstacle like a, like a 00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:28.306 canyon and you might build a bridge which becomes a city 00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:34.117 or in a lot of structural system bridge, which also becomes a city, a 00:31:34.150 --> 00:31:39.107 center of activities. 00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:47.140 And finally very quick was fairly quick idea for an airport terminal which 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:55.736 becomes a full fledged center of life. So instead of having a place where 00:31:55.769 --> 00:32:00.657 nobody wants to really land, which is a renowned place of the airport, you 00:32:00.690 --> 00:32:05.457 practically learned inside the city and what you do, you land or take off 00:32:05.490 --> 00:32:10.006 from the, from the mhm 00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.306 what we call them? 00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:21.207 Oh boy, the landing strips and the runway's. Yeah, thank you. And then the 00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:26.207 aircraft are turned off and they pulled, you know, pulled out from all to 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:32.306 this ring, which is really the taxing ring that feeds from the city or in 00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:36.707 the city. So the passengers are loading here or there unloading here, 00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:40.617 which means practically at the center of the city, which is this, this hub 00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:47.236 , it's 800 m by 2.5 kilometers. It's at the center of a development of 00:32:47.269 --> 00:32:54.006 parks indicated here and below the parks are our industrial parts, 00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:58.637 universal space which can be adapted to different kinds of production 00:32:58.670 --> 00:33:05.367 cycles. So that aircraft also feed on those industrial centers and west 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:12.207 Jerusalem. 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.976 This was about a million population. I think this is the taxi ring in 00:33:18.009 --> 00:33:21.006 section, 00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:26.506 so we have two series of half of the, of the circular 00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:34.006 hub. 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:40.046 The parks an open space at different levels. A five Mile Promenade Bridge 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:48.079 there 00:33:53.109 --> 00:34:01.109 in this instance we we define some of the time and, and space gaps between 00:34:03.529 --> 00:34:08.867 activities. So if you are a the service repayment for instance might come 00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:14.927 from out of the city and you start your daily service work and because of 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.526 the quickness and the swiftness that you can afford in this kind of 00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:25.637 environment, you can do much more with your time and include in florida 00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:32.236 city. Hopefully by my intention, you would travel in a very interesting 00:34:32.269 --> 00:34:36.807 kind of environment because if the city is only is only machine for living 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:43.907 and you're stuck with the machine, you decide to become a cultural mhm 00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:51.940 mechanism, then you might have a great time in moving throughout it. 00:34:57.139 --> 00:35:05.006 This was a view of the interior at one of the students designed 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.727 this was an out of town executive again, showing the different kinds of 00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:15.907 stops throughout the day. 00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:20.276 Now, I went briefly through the number one matter, spirit of cooperation, 00:35:20.309 --> 00:35:24.217 confrontation, complexity, militarization through their ecology. The 00:35:24.250 --> 00:35:28.106 concept of model and now we are the prototype 00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:33.037 and here again you most of you have seen all this. So I'm going to go 00:35:33.070 --> 00:35:36.606 quickly. 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:41.736 The other free river which was running, it always runs here, but when you 00:35:41.769 --> 00:35:48.706 have a flash flood, it runs pretty high sometimes 00:35:48.739 --> 00:35:55.606 morning before breakfast meeting on the opposite side of Arcosanti. 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.977 This is kind of rock formation we're building on its a basaltic look, you 00:36:02.010 --> 00:36:06.197 can see it there 00:36:06.230 --> 00:36:14.230 going back from the meeting to the building site. 00:36:15.829 --> 00:36:20.407 Mhm. The camp which established five years ago in the building side as it 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:28.440 was three years ago. Mr with three river, we own from here About three 00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:36.396 miles this way toward the highway 00:36:36.429 --> 00:36:43.916 looking from there this way on the farmland. Mhm. Our our land stops in 00:36:43.949 --> 00:36:51.949 the back of this village and in the back of that. Okay, 00:36:52.130 --> 00:37:00.130 the garden three years ago building site. Mhm. 00:37:08.530 --> 00:37:15.796 There's Natalie rather than the claim 00:37:15.829 --> 00:37:23.829 god, half of the god a year ago, 00:37:26.030 --> 00:37:29.956 a little later on, I have something to say about the absence but those are 00:37:29.989 --> 00:37:35.296 the absence which are spherical structure of half of a quarter of a sphere 00:37:35.329 --> 00:37:42.296 which are open toward the outside. I'll explain why 00:37:42.329 --> 00:37:47.537 as you see here in a traditional ways the Absa absa these are turned 00:37:47.570 --> 00:37:52.296 towards the inside so they create a certain condition which is very very 00:37:52.329 --> 00:37:58.486 different from the condition that I am after. Besides that, the wall 00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:03.106 becomes a double wall here so that you have activities going on within the 00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:09.686 structure itself. 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:16.947 The model as you saw it received in North Studio. This is to indicate the 00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:21.727 variety of interventions, different people doing their own different 00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:27.787 things for their own residents or studios. 00:38:27.820 --> 00:38:35.086 Uh huh 00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:40.586 Some of the progress of the building, this is the main building. We got 00:38:40.619 --> 00:38:48.619 that far plus somewhere here. The blue outline and then the same in actual 00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:54.887 Mhm natural landscape. 00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:00.456 So this vote is something access of the main building which is 1/2 here 00:39:00.489 --> 00:39:03.787 and half there are more or less 00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:10.586 our land stops about there. That's the highway there. 00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:16.329 So this this will become a sanctuary which will be used by the community. 00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:21.920 When you see in the model it's this vote. Then you see the building those 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:31.546 two residencies and then there'll be more buildings. Uh the ceramics abs 00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:39.579 which is the same center of these big gaps and the family. Mhm. 00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:46.787 The First Foundation for one Side of the Vault. Some of the blasting 00:39:46.820 --> 00:39:53.706 the world being assembled. I love you from the west three years ago. The 00:39:53.739 --> 00:39:57.486 making of the panels for the vault. 00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:02.756 This is salt and linoleum painting linoleum. Those are going to be windows. 00:40:02.789 --> 00:40:07.477 We have 12 of those panels for one mold. 00:40:07.510 --> 00:40:12.776 And you see the slab which has been cast on this sealed, the thickness 00:40:12.809 --> 00:40:18.376 being after the curing being assembled 00:40:18.409 --> 00:40:22.497 and there you see the transference transference of the colors from the 00:40:22.530 --> 00:40:30.530 seals into the concrete. 00:40:32.510 --> 00:40:34.677 Yeah, 00:40:34.710 --> 00:40:41.427 yeah. The ceramics at the beginning of the ceramics perhaps making of 00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:45.376 panels, modular elements. 00:40:45.409 --> 00:40:53.409 The sandwich of them 00:40:54.510 --> 00:41:00.146 sealed again used as a forming device in a texture device to make the 00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:03.376 shell of the apps. 00:41:03.409 --> 00:41:06.376 Yeah, 00:41:06.409 --> 00:41:10.876 the east residents, 00:41:10.909 --> 00:41:18.909 one of the rooms and the residents. The west still the east residents. 00:41:22.010 --> 00:41:27.706 The east should be turned around one of the, one of the roofs in residents 00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:31.856 inside. Mhm. 00:41:31.889 --> 00:41:39.889 The foundry area of being being built 00:41:40.329 --> 00:41:47.610 the outer skin of the foundry and the stuff holding for the silt casting. 00:41:53.909 --> 00:41:55.909 They're still being ready for the casting on this lower layer 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.367 and we're finishing the casting. Those are windows for those residential 00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:12.267 areas. Windows 00:42:12.300 --> 00:42:19.396 we're ready for the second half of the skin of the apps. Those are two 00:42:19.429 --> 00:42:27.429 level studios with rooms scattered around and services in the family. 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:34.956 This is before the roof has been cast, this is after the roof has been 00:42:34.989 --> 00:42:42.989 cast. 00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.927 This is the vault where we assemble the units. Those are these two 00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:56.597 residents with an office, this the foundry with residents, this ceramics 00:42:56.630 --> 00:43:03.477 studio and this is a six residential rooms there, a restaurant with 00:43:03.510 --> 00:43:11.510 services there and then on top exhibition 00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:20.289 foundry being developed a little more for the different kinds of functions. 00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:26.800 This is the restaurant here, the exhibition and private rooms with 00:43:30.150 --> 00:43:36.767 terraces. Mhm. 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:41.566 Late afternoon shot. 00:43:41.599 --> 00:43:46.467 I shouldn't move again. Thank you. 00:43:46.500 --> 00:43:53.566 Mhm. Mhm. Yeah 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:57.537 the beginning of this where the beginning is underground but coming up one 00:43:57.570 --> 00:44:04.557 floor putting the floor now 00:44:04.590 --> 00:44:08.887 And then the second floor coming up and then the panels for the for the 00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:15.057 main two level floor. 00:44:15.090 --> 00:44:23.090 Thank you. We use silt again for some of the patterns in the ceiling 00:44:35.389 --> 00:44:39.657 that's a turnaround 00:44:39.690 --> 00:44:47.690 mm michigan slide. We were now at the of the energy phase of the 00:44:47.690 --> 00:44:51.557 presentation. Uh 00:44:51.590 --> 00:44:55.867 About 15 years ago I was interested in or 20 years ago I was sitting in 00:44:55.900 --> 00:45:03.900 solar energy in form of infrared water, wind. 00:45:04.690 --> 00:45:11.876 And I was trying to integrate some kind of structure that would would 00:45:11.909 --> 00:45:17.756 channel or concentrate those energies and also would be a shelter for 00:45:17.789 --> 00:45:23.166 different kinds of functions so far. It's been using wind. I was imagining 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:30.657 that you have uh the top of a hill for instance, over windy countryside 00:45:30.690 --> 00:45:38.690 and you would, you would produce some kind of a star system. Well, no 00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:42.657 matter what the wind direction is, you would you capture it and 00:45:42.690 --> 00:45:48.236 concentrate the pressure into a turbine and this would create this kind of 00:45:48.269 --> 00:45:52.986 a shape that would be a sheltered space where you could develop for 00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:57.396 instance, a village. So you have the integration of a machine of a wind 00:45:57.429 --> 00:46:03.907 machine and the center for life and the same idea, it's on this side. But 00:46:03.940 --> 00:46:09.447 using infinite, you have the sun energy to fish on the south side. Some 00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:14.416 energy, you produce some heat and you can hear hot water or you can hit 00:46:14.449 --> 00:46:20.117 salts and different kinds of things to color as a a storage of energy and 00:46:20.150 --> 00:46:24.276 then you have a chimney so that you have an updraft and possibly you could 00:46:24.309 --> 00:46:28.626 create some some electric energy by putting a turbine there. But the main 00:46:28.659 --> 00:46:33.796 thing was that you expose part of the skin of the building to the sunshine 00:46:33.829 --> 00:46:37.646 and capture some of this energy 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:43.447 the same idea on different kind of scheme you have like like this kind of 00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:48.327 a shape of the building and inside of it you can collect quite a bit of 00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:52.956 energy. Again infrared because you expose a large area, you can make it 00:46:52.989 --> 00:46:57.497 black, so you're a black collector. Then again you have an up left and 00:46:57.530 --> 00:47:01.936 possibly you can if you beside ventilation of the of the land, let's say, 00:47:01.969 --> 00:47:07.197 you can do something else maybe with it. And by making many of those one 00:47:07.230 --> 00:47:11.736 against your own, you create a very large shaded area, a conditioned 00:47:11.769 --> 00:47:14.747 ground 00:47:14.780 --> 00:47:22.780 using infrared. Again in a big tall building 00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:30.780 you're going to get some energy. 00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:39.747 This was a series of parabolic mirrors Stacked one on top of the other one 00:47:39.780 --> 00:47:46.626 vertical. And there does mirror would be made by a liquid, a 00:47:46.659 --> 00:47:52.146 reflecting liquid that would concentrate the energy on the phone call 00:47:52.179 --> 00:47:57.467 access. So you have all those elements which are heated and from there you 00:47:57.500 --> 00:48:05.256 move into direct use or storage transformation of the heat energy into 00:48:05.289 --> 00:48:09.637 electricity. 00:48:09.670 --> 00:48:14.416 This was a good idea of the wind, no matter what actually. You capture 00:48:14.449 --> 00:48:19.236 some of it, you trapped some of it. 00:48:19.269 --> 00:48:27.269 Uh This is a mix of uh updrafts and infrared. 00:48:27.369 --> 00:48:34.316 This again, it's a parabolic parabolic mirror exposed toward the the salt 00:48:34.349 --> 00:48:39.247 and say. And then you can put many of those together. Again you transform 00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:44.896 the land if it's a very hard country for instance and you can insert some 00:48:44.929 --> 00:48:50.537 activities within the double skin of the building 00:48:50.570 --> 00:48:55.936 infrared again. 00:48:55.969 --> 00:48:58.537 But my 00:48:58.570 --> 00:49:04.037 my problem became more and more the fact that I was trying to use a 00:49:04.070 --> 00:49:08.217 a way which is used by the vegetable kingdom to feed something which is 00:49:08.250 --> 00:49:13.236 beyond the vegetable kingdom. That's that's what I call the vegetable clap. 00:49:13.269 --> 00:49:19.637 The vegetable kingdom is can use the solid energy in the best way because 00:49:19.670 --> 00:49:25.537 it's very extensive in the clover field 00:49:25.570 --> 00:49:33.570 function. It's what makes minerals into into proteins into organic matter. 00:49:38.570 --> 00:49:45.960 But the need is great extension for a kind of life which is simultaneous. 00:49:48.769 --> 00:49:50.769 And here I was trying to use a 10uous kind of energy in the very scattered 00:49:53.789 --> 00:50:00.077 energy of the sun for a highly concentrated kind of phenomenon, the 00:50:00.110 --> 00:50:08.110 phenomenon of society. 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:26.427 Oh come on 00:50:26.460 --> 00:50:29.916 Houston way was the most interesting if you have a pass between mountains 00:50:29.949 --> 00:50:36.186 , Usually you have a very very reliable wind which tends to be 11 unit 00:50:36.219 --> 00:50:42.066 directional. So according to this wind you would set a big clap like a 00:50:42.099 --> 00:50:45.827 funnel and you would have production of energy there. Then if it happened 00:50:45.860 --> 00:50:49.467 that the funnel for instance is exposed to the north on your side, you 00:50:49.500 --> 00:50:53.137 have a big sun collector. Otherwise you have the sun collector on the 00:50:53.170 --> 00:50:59.727 other side if it's exposed to the south. So you combine wind and infrared 00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:05.026 to support the life of this community. 00:51:05.059 --> 00:51:09.657 Now we got through matter spirit oncology Energy, we are the cosmic 00:51:09.690 --> 00:51:15.626 potential which the name is used for those is energy collecting devices 00:51:15.659 --> 00:51:19.827 and vegetable trap. Now I am at the greenhouse effect. Then we're going to 00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:24.506 the hydroponic, hydroponic and the chiming should go with the greenhouse 00:51:24.539 --> 00:51:29.577 really. And then the apps effect which is the last one. This is a scheme 00:51:29.610 --> 00:51:33.276 different ways of using the greenhouse effect the greenhouse which is the 00:51:33.309 --> 00:51:41.309 orthodox way of of producing foodstuff under glass. So you have a normal 00:51:42.260 --> 00:51:50.260 diagram where you have to pump in IL or heat or cooling 00:51:51.059 --> 00:51:55.597 by mechanical devices. You might try to avoid that to reduce this need of 00:51:55.630 --> 00:51:59.197 mechanical devices by stepping up the greenhouse and introducing the 00:51:59.230 --> 00:52:05.546 chimney effect which is the acceleration of the year because the air gets 00:52:05.579 --> 00:52:11.776 warm and tends to to move vertically so that this is a self ventilating 00:52:11.809 --> 00:52:16.356 greenhouse. Another way of using the green house is to put a house inside 00:52:16.389 --> 00:52:18.617 of it 00:52:18.650 --> 00:52:22.697 and become a little more sophisticated. Put instead of making the usual 00:52:22.730 --> 00:52:26.347 greenhouse, you make a dome for instance a geodesic dome and then you 00:52:26.380 --> 00:52:32.217 build floors and so on and you have a you live in a greenhouse. It sounds 00:52:32.250 --> 00:52:39.066 good but it doesn't work. The skin of the greenhouse is too let's come 00:52:39.099 --> 00:52:44.617 through too much heat or too much heat goes out of it. So sometimes very 00:52:44.650 --> 00:52:48.336 hard, sometimes really cold and so on. So the idea is good but we are not 00:52:48.369 --> 00:52:52.017 vegetables. That's the main problem. 00:52:52.050 --> 00:52:56.137 Another way of using the greenhouses to not to produce foot, stop but to 00:52:56.170 --> 00:53:01.267 produce heat for the house or your greenhouse and then you pump the heat 00:53:01.300 --> 00:53:03.967 into the house when you need the heat you get a little more sophisticated 00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:08.177 , you reduce some of the scale in the form of the greenhouse and you make 00:53:08.210 --> 00:53:13.307 a some collector incorporated in the house. Then you can combine those two 00:53:13.340 --> 00:53:19.606 criterias and produce foodstuff and also heat for your house and you can 00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:25.387 pump it. You can pump the heat in the house and eat the vegetables or sell 00:53:25.420 --> 00:53:31.807 them who stole them? You you combine this idea with this idea and you you 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:38.597 let the greenhouse pump itself off and feed the house. Then you make a 00:53:38.630 --> 00:53:43.486 quantum jump. You move from the family into the social structure, You have 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:47.657 many houses together, you put them under under one glass thing connected 00:53:47.690 --> 00:53:52.717 with the green house and the chimney effect. So you have the greenhouse 00:53:52.750 --> 00:53:59.617 foodstuff production, heat production in your your town being said, both 00:53:59.650 --> 00:54:05.407 energy and food stuff. Then you take this, which is a pretty peculiar way 00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:10.186 of assembling a city and you make it into a sensitized 00:54:10.219 --> 00:54:15.947 structure which by itself will accept or reject. Those are the asians 00:54:15.980 --> 00:54:20.887 which are favorable or unfavorable. And if you carry on with this with the 00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:27.006 militarization and complexity system, you then have a pretty comprehensive 00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:33.497 device for social and cultural life if the greenhouse pumping heat into 00:54:33.530 --> 00:54:40.606 the city. The food produce used by the city or used as a bartering device 00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:47.177 and then the city itself is that sensible kind of structure which tries to 00:54:47.210 --> 00:54:54.936 make the best use of the infrared many of the heat of the sun. So the next 00:54:54.969 --> 00:55:00.907 few slides are about this criteria. But before I get there I had to take 00:55:00.940 --> 00:55:05.956 this diagram and indicate what does it mean in terms of an actual 00:55:05.989 --> 00:55:09.506 structure. 00:55:09.539 --> 00:55:15.829 So we are at the apps effect and I'm using Kazanjian Arcosanti as examples. 00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:17.840 Do we have any obstinacy of those spherical structures? And two of them 00:55:20.409 --> 00:55:25.977 are facing notes. So they are not important for this explanation. But the 00:55:26.010 --> 00:55:33.807 other one is facing south. Pertinent to this use of solar energy. 00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:37.006 This is facing north. 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:41.526 So it projects always quite a bit of shade within the area that it 00:55:41.559 --> 00:55:47.807 shelters and also beyond it. But this is his insult. And in the winter 00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:55.787 because of the the overhang you have you have some how you separate 00:55:55.820 --> 00:56:00.367 yourself from the cold radiations from the sky. At the same time you 00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:05.017 collect the sun energy which it's constantly pulling in because the sun is 00:56:05.050 --> 00:56:10.097 very low and it comes up on the east southeast. 00:56:10.130 --> 00:56:14.706 So even early in the morning begins to feed in. And so it does in late 00:56:14.739 --> 00:56:19.787 afternoon. But in the summer, the story changes the sun comes up on the 00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:27.057 north side. And so this becomes a very good shade and you can add to it by 00:56:27.090 --> 00:56:32.796 putting awnings for instance or additional shades. 00:56:32.829 --> 00:56:40.829 This is also south side and it works like this from south oriented. Yeah, 00:56:40.929 --> 00:56:45.396 this is a good morning, 00:56:45.429 --> 00:56:53.429 probably in late spring you see the sun begins to be to be cut off by the 00:56:54.179 --> 00:56:59.896 by the profile of the abs. 00:56:59.929 --> 00:57:06.026 Now in Arcosanti we are going to much larger skill but the idea is very 00:57:06.059 --> 00:57:12.407 similar. Number one, no matter what the orientation is. You by using this 00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:17.566 kind of a scheme, you frame the landscape in a very special way. You have 00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:23.057 light effects which are very peculiar and very interesting. You you have a 00:57:23.090 --> 00:57:27.956 sheltered space which is in and out in a way. And within that sheltered 00:57:27.989 --> 00:57:33.506 space you can you can come up with activities which are also I think very 00:57:33.539 --> 00:57:37.827 interesting, but for the one which are exposed to the south. You have also 00:57:37.860 --> 00:57:45.860 this uh in a way cosmic relationship to the, to the infrared action. So in 00:57:47.989 --> 00:57:53.867 a way the apps workers as a son machine just by the shape and orientation 00:57:53.900 --> 00:58:00.686 of itself. 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:05.186 So that's some of those are some of the reasons of the use of these 00:58:05.219 --> 00:58:12.146 structural system to it. To suggest a little what you can do within the 00:58:12.179 --> 00:58:18.046 wall itself. The abs. Those slides are indicating the space which is 17ft 00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:22.916 deep where you would have the smallest module for living in Arcosanti. And 00:58:22.949 --> 00:58:27.986 you can put a mezzanine there. So this is a a space for one person or 00:58:28.019 --> 00:58:34.157 maybe a couple and they can arrange it according to their own needs. And 00:58:34.190 --> 00:58:39.137 on this window looks out into the open landscape. This window looks in 00:58:39.170 --> 00:58:42.586 into the cityscape. 00:58:42.619 --> 00:58:45.486 Okay, 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:48.646 the more you go up because of the meeting of the spherical with horizontal 00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:55.186 , you change the character of the space. 00:58:55.219 --> 00:59:00.166 Uh This is the south exposure in the winter. This is close to the solid 00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:04.217 space in the winter, the shortest day of the year. And you see how deep 00:59:04.250 --> 00:59:08.787 the sunshine has penetrated inside, 00:59:08.820 --> 00:59:16.206 appreciate it. This is still that double wall in the big gaps. Oh you're 00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:22.287 looking at that before, You were looking at that. 00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:28.086 Now in towards the summer you get a different condition. Now this is 00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:31.827 probably early in the morning, so it's not necessarily summer. But in some 00:59:31.860 --> 00:59:36.887 way you get very much this kind of effect inside 00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:41.006 this is a winter condition again. And you see that it's certainly it's 00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:45.717 morning, I'd say maybe 10:00 and the sun has penetrated 00:59:45.750 --> 00:59:49.387 inside. 00:59:49.420 --> 00:59:54.907 This is definitely close to the summer because this is before the sun 00:59:54.940 --> 01:00:00.586 turns on the south side, the sun is still north side. So the south exposed 01:00:00.619 --> 01:00:06.126 wall is still in the shade so early morning when the sun is very is very 01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:13.856 biting because it's Sloan ELISA you produce mhm. The volume of shade by 01:00:13.889 --> 01:00:17.017 the time the sun turns around it's very high. So you still have quite a 01:00:17.050 --> 01:00:22.046 little shading. This is the winter again, probably 10 or 11:00 AM. You can 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.287 see the penetration of the sunshine. 01:00:25.320 --> 01:00:31.086 This is late afternoon, but it's the same. Same criteria applies. 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:35.626 This is probably around noon. We have a meeting and you see everybody's in 01:00:35.659 --> 01:00:40.166 the sunshine. Not only but it's sheltered, so the cold radiations are 01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:46.349 stopped by the shell. The warm radiations are accepted.
