AIMS/ Year after year, climate change underline the lacks of the cities urban planning and the disconnection in between architecture and the urban fabric in terms of its insufficient adaption to the climate change demands. The aim of the exercise is to search and found, urban situations inAlicante where climate shelters would improve the urban context and the citizen life.
METHOD /
SEMINARS: Understanding of the Alicante’s urban morphology in relation to the specific climatic conditions. (Seminar class by Andrés Silanes and Paco Leiva (AeA professors, and partner of Subarquitectura and Grupo Aranea)
EXERCISES: To design an urban shelter built with recycled or natural materials; and placed into the Alicante context. The construction has to integrate greenery and self sufficient water management system (collecting system and a container).
OUTPUT: Architectural – structural model, and retroactive construction plans
- Site shadows model
- Architectural / structural model
- Construction plans
- Face the climatic change and urban issues through architectural design
- Develop architecture projects through models construction and retroactive plans
- Imagine a design unit as aport of a urban system
