Stereoscope studio
- EIN – HUD MASTERPLAN
This Masterplan is inscribed in the recognition and reclamation of a cultural identidity that shapes the architecture and urban program. Coexistence, shared resources and field of vision create the project apparatus.
The project intends to work upon the purpose of the of the theme competition - the creation of a seamless territory.
The project is interested in defining a new typology that construct an infrastructure of defense, an infrastructure that is anchored to a land in between two territories in dispute. The project is in a phase of acknowledging a coexistence, of corridors of infrastructure that link the patches, stains and reconstitute an identity in conflict.
As when a perspective diagram turns back onto itself the subject no longer occupies the origin of its coordinates at privileged viewing point of an optical-geometric mastery of space. - the project has therefore to blend as an insect "one point/ path/wall/frontier among others".
We will be interested to research as we can observe in the tactics of human warfare, the effect and practice of mimicry as camouflage. Its purpose is not to harmonize with the background but to insert itself, against a stained background.
1. The Stereos tropic landscape
In the context of the territory recognition in Israel we name this project in reference to The Stereos tropic Spectator, that the historian Jonathan Crary writes, as a radical repositioning of the observer's relation to visual representation…
The stereoscope signals an eradication of "the point of view" around which, for several centuries, meanings had been assigned reciprocally to an observer and the object of his/her vision.
There is no longer the possibility of such a technique of beholding. The relation of observer to an image ( territory) is no longer to an object quantified to a position in space, but rather to two dissimilar images whose position simulates the anatomical structure of the observer's body."
2. Program Strategy
Block landscape.
The housing blocks are configured along multidirectional camouflage tunnels according to three major patterns: spreading; connectivity and aggregation.
These three principles are based on typological convergences, topographical restrictions and data densities. The resulting block is a mixed-use fluid confining and merging different types, housing services and voids. Its interdependency regulates the inflection and deformation of the block perimeter.
The construction of the site is processed with the development of structural concrete frame of ribs that outline the form and skin of the blocks.
In order to achieve a notorious fusion with the environmental landscape the skin of the blocks is filled with a large percentage of transparent panels, solar panels and vegetation enhancing the structure’s lightness and clearance.
2.2. Apartment Landscape.
The apartment are configured according to the daily performance of the user in the inside space, configuring alternative patterns of living. The apartments are divided in zones that overlap topographies of residencies and services, in intervals of space between structural concrete and services enclosed in voids.
