London 2000-1 [MArch Thesis] Architectural Association Design Research Laboratory / Praveen Bavadekar, Luis Pereira Miguel, Yosuke Nagumo, Viveck Shankar "UrbaNets" is a research on mobility, time, facilities, and urban networks, and our proposal aims to identify and project relevant environments, which respond to the needs of the Urban Nomad. We have chosen three sites, Victoria Station, Paddington Station, and Liverpool St. Station, the connective hubs to the main airports of London. Our derivation of the structure for the project at each site is informed by the trajectories of pedestrian movement on the site. The basic concept of the program assumes that the facilities are modular and movable within an infra-structural territory. Thus, the tectonics should allow and mediate the movement of modules (and hence facilities) depending on factors like trajectories, time, programs etc that are inherent parameters of the proposal. publications 13 March 2008, 'UrbaNets' in AA DRL Documents 2, 'DRL TEN: A Design Research Compendium', AA Publications, p198 (London) May 2007, 'UrbaNets' in 'Architectura e Vida 82', pp118-23 (Lisbon) 1 June 2005, 'UrbaNets' in 'Corporate Fields: New Office Environments by the AA DRL', AA Publications, pp100-7 (London) 2001, 'UrbaNets' in Prospectus 01/02, Architectural Association, p7 (London) 2001, 'UrbaNets' in Projects Review 00/01, Architectural Association, pp19, 175 (London) January 2001, 'UrbaNets' in Spring Term Event List 03, 22-26. 01. 01, Architectural Association (London) |
