project K:Addition
PROCESS
The anaerobic digester is powered by waste food and paper collected from various cafeterias and the faculties of TU Delft. This will create Methane gas which can then be used in systems within the structure.
The existing site has a series of street lights, which we plan to remove and replace with lighting integrated into our structure which would be powered by the methane from the anaerobic digestor.
Our structure will incorporate a movable facade, which can be adapted according to the environmental demands. If there is little wind the structure can be opened, which will also allow light from fires to pass through the structure creating an intimate secondary space.
If the wind speed is too high then the facade facing the wind will close, protecting the fire and the users and providing a usable space.
The floor system of our structure will create a space which allows fire to be instigated anywhere along its path, using material (wood) collected from faculties within TU Delft and stored within our structure.
Waste (ash) produced by fire, will be collected and stored within the floor system, before being used as compost for the plants and garden.
