Asaction. Urban trees

ASA - Asociación Sostenibilidad y Arquitectura

March 2009

Competition. Selected project

 

A series of porous ceramic pieces of baked clay linked together allow the environmental conditioning of the urban environment chosen by hygrothermal lower air control, creating opportunities for staying and leisure in which sharing and social communication is favored.

The placing of these pieces intertwined at different levels above the ground (horizontal at floor height or over the people, or even vertical) define the contained space.

The proposal develops a LOW TECH system with its simplicity, since it is a unique piece that is repeated, and a basic holding system, thus reducing manufacturing cost

Depending on the requests of the seasons the tree responds by increasing or decreasing the number of parts. Establishing three densities: low density 15% in winter, 30% medium density in spring and autumn and 60% in summer.
