¿QUÉ? UN PROCESO ABIERTO Y PARTICIPATIVO PARA CONSTRUIR Y DISEÑAR BADEL BLOCK Ciudad diversa y cambiante Proponemos implementar el proceso de desarrollo actual con participación pública y cambiar su condición eventual por una permanente y de carácter abierto. Creemos que no hay una solución óptima si no muchas. Cada una de estas propuestas cerradas puede cumplir con las expectativas de ciertos colectivos, satisfacer diversas formas de entender como debería ser el futuro de la ciudad o acomodarse a determinado contexto socioeconómico. Sin embargo la ciudad no puede depender del éxito de una idea visionaria, ni responder de forma estática a determinadas demandas provenientes de contextos dinámicos. Así pues, proponemos un proceso abierto al cambio y a la participación, asegurandonos que las diferentes sensibilidades son tenidas en cuenta y así disponer de una ciudad tan compleja y diversa como la sociedad que la habita. ¿QUIÉN? LA MAYOR CANTIDAD DE AGENTES CON LA MEDIACIÓN DE LA OPEN BLOCK AGENCY Participacion mediada No solo el Ayuntamiento, el inversor privado mayoritario y los profesionales, arquitectos y urbanistas deberían ser capaces de expresar sus ideas y esperanzas sobre el futuro de Badel Block. También los usuarios potenciales, inversores minoritarios, propietarios potenciales negocios o empresas, asociaciones locales, instituciones culturales y el resto de ciudadanos, deberían tener la oportunidad de expresarse sobre la conveniencia o no de las diferentes propuestas o incluso a proponer cualquier aspecto que consideren relevante. Con el objetivo de relacionar a estos agentes diversos e inconexos, fundamos la Open Block Agency (OBA) con sede en la antigua destilería de Badel. Operará tanto presencialmente como en la red desde el portal www.openblockagency.com. Organizará diversos eventos, exposiciones, conferencias, encuentros, talleres... ¿CUÁNDO? EL FUTURO INMEDIATO DE ZAGREB 3 FASES , 3 AÑOS Y REVISIONES ANUALES Modificando los planes del proceso actual Proponemos alterar los plazos del proceso vigente de desarrollo urbano de BB. Cada una de las fases pasa a dispone de un año para ser llevada a cabo. Una vez concluida la última fase se vuelve a empezar, realizando en estas sucesivas revisiones todo el proceso anualmente. La flexibilidad en la planificación y el alto grado de prefabricación y reciclabilidad del sistema constructivo permite tiempos de desarrollo de proyectos muy breves (1 año). Sin embargo la inexperiencia y la gran cantidad de espacio disponible y posibilidades hacen prever que el proceso requiera mayor tiempo en su primera puesta en marcha (3 años). Nuestra ambicion no es la de planificar un futuro infinitamente, entendemos que nuevas políticas y formas de entender la ciudad y en concreto BB llegarán. Así pues, entendemos que subprocesos anuales constituyen un margen suficientemente corto como para clausurar la OBA de forma progresiva. ¿DÓNDE? EN BADEL BLOCK, ZAGREB CROACIA ONSITE | ONLINE La última oportunidad del centro histórico Proponemos rehabilitar la antigua destilería de las industrias Badel como la sede para la OBA. Acogeráa los diversos eventos y talleres a lo largo del proceso. Sin embargo, su uso puede ser reconsiderado a lo largo del proceso. Un contenedor vasto al principio, irá almacenando infraestructura, mobiliario y maquinaria que podrá servir a sus usos posteriores o reutilizarse incorporado a los nuevos edificios. La OBA tambien opera en red. Visitando supagina web www.openblockzagreb.com puedes conocer el estado del proceso y participar, tanto si vives en la vecindad como si lo haces al otro lado del mundo. Es posible consultar las propuestas, acceder as su información y compararlos. Puedes dar tu opinión, comentar la de otros o sugerir nuevas ideas o modificaciones al estado actual del desarrollo. ¿POR QUÉ? EL DERECHO A LA CIUDAD Resiliencia Urbana Estamos acostumbrados a procesos cerrados y opacos de diseño que muestran al arquitecto como un oráculo y los edificios y ciudades como objetos terminados. Entendemos la ciudad como el resultado cambiante de dinámicas diversas y complejas y el papel del arquitecto como el gestor de estas energías siempre preparado para actuar en escenarios inesperados. Como resultado, nuestra propuesta es abrir el proceso de desarrollo de Badel Block a la participación de la mayor cantidad de agentes posibles y a continuos cambios ante un futuro siempre incierto. ¿CÓMO? IMPLEMENTANDO EL PROCESO VIGENTE ABRIENDO LAS 3 FASES A AGENTES Y CAMBIOS Modificar el modelo local existente La lógica de desarrollo urbano / produccion espacial puesta en marcha por los organismos municipales de Zagreb es coherente y adecuada a las instituciones y el contexto local. Por ello, nuestra propuesta no consiste en empezar con tabula rasa una nueva forma de hacer las cosas, si no en completarla, ampliarla y modificarla para incorporar la ecosistemica [diversidad y cambio] de la ciudad. 1º FASE Samplear las propuestas y financiación con capitales diversos en procedencia y tamaño > Concurso de ideas - Múltiples soluciones parciales vs Única solución integral El objetivo del concurso ya no es seleccionar la mejor idea sino extraer diferentes muestras de sus estrategias y espacios generando un catálogo para remezclar soluciones parciales o globales > Búsqueda de financiación - Múltiples inversores asimétricos vs Ayuntamiento + Único Inversor El objetivo ya no es encontrar un único socio mayoritario al mismo nivel que el ayuntamiento sino que el capital venga del mayor número de agentes de forma que se impongan posiciones consensuadas frente a hegemónicas. 2º FASE Un plan urbano abierto y relacional y unos proyectos colaborativos y flexibles > Plan Urbano - Normativa abierta: unidades de gestión vs Plan Integral cerrado El diseno urbano contempla la totalidad de la manzana como collage de intervenciones parciales dentro de un marco normativo que regula los parámetros urbanísticos tradicionales en función del grado de cumplimiento de directivas en favor de la diversidad y flexibilidad de las propuestas > Concurso de diseño - Múltiples diseños colaborativos vs Único diseño integral Cada intervención es diseñada de forma colaborativa y transdisciplinar por los profesionales contratados por cada grupo de inversores y atendiendo a las sensibilidades de los futuros usuarios. 3º FASE La lógica constructiva busca la máxima reversibilidad y flexibilidad > Sistema Constructivo - Sistema Constructivo Libre vs Sistema privativo Siguiendo la lógica del steel y el stud frame, el sistema esta compuesto de unidades prefabricadas unidas en seco a su vez compuestas de elementos normalizados. Todas las uniones son atornilladas y los componentes y elementos fácilmente reutilizables o reciclables. > Habitar - Espacio e imagen personalizable vs Espacio e imagen impuestos Todos los componentes son altamente personalizables tanto en sus propiedades como acabados. Las viviendas y locales se entregan en esqueleto y el usuario puede traer o llevar consigo sus propios componentes.

Visitors are invited to go deep into the surreal landscape of lush vegetation garnered. Every specimen is classified according to the 17 genera and the 86 species in the Simulacraceae family, as can be consulted in the Index Seminum kept in the greenhouse. Either if the visitor decides to study the interior plants that fill the geodesic dome or gaze at the oneiric environment sitting in an outdoor bench, the discussion on the contemporary relationship between the natural and the artificial will be buzzing in the air. However, it is up to the insects to eventually come and pollinize our everlasting blooming garden.

Design teams will be led by emerging local practices that will focus on real cases and invite relevant guest and stakeholders.

Entroncando con una de las tradiciones más arraigadas en el festival de Roskilde, la naked run, una carrera nudista para conseguir entradas para el siguiente año, la forma más rápida, eficaz y divertida de deslizarse hacia el barro es hacerlo desnudo. Mediante la aplicación del festival para móviles convocamos una fiesta de inauguración nudista que termina siendo la afetrparty del concierto de Animal Collective.

We understand the third stage, the construction, as a process with no beginning or end. It had already started before the different competitions and plans on Badel block and It will not be finished with the inhabitation of the buildings or the successful use of the public spaces. We think it is essential to inoculate the solutions with resiliency abilities in order to be able to cope with stress and adversity in the potential and unexpected scenarios the city will have to face.

1.Event fields. Augmented city. We understand this brief as the opportunity to create a dialectical proposal raging between an intensive and extensive use of space. Despite the competition lines focus on a project site that adapt to the actual coast line, this proposal is based in modifying that front line to tackle the programme and mobility issues crucial to solve. By unfolding the traditional waterfront program into productive space we provide a new coast line, gaining firm areas (intensifying through a considerable number of square meters and productivity). The extended city project is a buoyant, fluctuating field of both housing and productive spaces, public areas, walkways and underwater nets. Its purpose is to stimulate the development of a non determined public space woven in strips linking water and soil. • Intensive as a use of a multilayer farming is proposed. We propose a sustainable aquaculture, that provide not only a new sea bed ecosystem but a human source of nourishment and means of life. The marine life in the semi-natural environments becomes accessible to visitors as the user programme weaves itself into various stages of the production line, even extending beneath the surface of the water. • Extensive as it expands into the sea territorial domains gaining free areas for public use. The scheme alters the geography of the sea. Assets a new configuration of the public space due to two main elements: • The wind as the main feature of the architectural figuration generates a new calligraphy of the space. The layout and shape of the housing blocks are evolved from the wind-ward line of exposure, to capture the most possible surface of wind. • The water signature: the changing contours of the city´s coast line, creating wetlands due to the solid or liquid state of the water. The reduction of flow encourages an influx of saltwater, reduces the depth of the water plate and enriches the conditions of water media. Areas of uncertainty.  Three programme elements are clear: housing, fish market and fish farming. Linking the spaces in between we define non determined areas. The scheme encompass a certain level of undefinition, for the agents involved, to debate and decide upon. The inner protected spaces within the strong features of the scheme s layout are not residual but full of possibilities. A nesting game. the programme An urban project like the one we asset today in Tallin, at the threshold of the new millennium embodies a whole set of high expectations and must necessarily be conceived in cultural terms. “Culture” as a wide range of expressions of a community.  A production, housing and market space provide a new scale of seaside facilities never before explored in the harbouring system of Tallin. The program we propose is a place for the citizens to assemble, participate and communicate, exchanging activity and trade. Our proposal is to offer a public arena which is voluntarily non defined. A place enclosed in a microclimate “reservoir” in the border where the city meets with the sea.  The small scale port and fish market that the city is demanding.  The project borrows climate adaptation techniques form extreme cold environment. The frozen water surface is a functional and programme element. When in a water state the use is only reachable for maintenance. When in a frozen state becomes then a public plaza that enables new itineraries around the covered fish market.  2. Marine dependant scheme The presence of the Baltic Sea, the communication board of the Scandinavian countries has become increasingly context dependant. Glossary  Navigation charts: instructions become the notation mode of architecture. Construction drawings give way to a new data that explains and updates on line both the building process and the use of space. Marine routes: the basic site definition implies the modelling of the sea bed in order to hold the sea traffic and the necessary depth for the fish farming tanks. New contours of water bottom are depicted in the foundation detailed drawings. Buoyancy: Most of the project elements depending on water are linked to each other through floating elements that spread out into the sea. Buoyancy also refers to the relative position of some of the buildings that float over excavated canals Saline environment: the proposal creates a flat landscape of areas  Windward: proposal layout housing orientation and wind parks exposed areas marine endorsed environment: all construction decisions are based upon  tidal effects changing contour lines anchoring control knots anchor the buoys to the sea bed  position lines grid of communication variation and deviation programme  pilotage.  The project borrows climate adaptation techniques form extreme cold environment The frozen surface is a functional and programme element. The symbiotic relationship between housing and fishing is exploited in order to give communities a more sustainable economic foundation. A dweller would be able to explore the dynamic environment of water along walkways leading through the different stages of the fish processing line as well as the semi-natural environments above, below or on the surface of the Sea. The project captures the imagination of the market visitor and neighbour discovering a new domestic scale of harbour is opened up.  3. Swarm theory A community acting as an individual. One of the leading features of the proposal is to recall the interrelated behaviour of groups. The swarm, the fish bank as a design entity helps the layout of the whole of the project .  It may seem that a random display justifies the insertion in the water but in reality we propose a perfectly organised lines of programme. Unlikeness for scarcity rule the proposal.  Networked society  A weft of decisions of interrelated control knots (tracing knots) neighbourhood as a whole, decide in assembly whatever decisions move the community. Farming, trading, energy management, public space and mobility. Use of renting houses and financing the research centre. Managing the energy/turbine fields. Weft of users coming together in assembly rather than assembling units of a closed structure unable to admit politics of contingency.  4. Accuracy and approximation from Dymaxion to Google Earth  from a representation (exploration) of the territory to a user modelled navigation tool. (that modifies the observed) surveillance: data and space trails Augmented city from within 5. Fish farming An increased production of food from the ocean is necessary in order to meet the local demand of fish as well as the continuous research to make it feasible. Yet at the same time fish stock has declined to critical levels in the Baltic. A EU ban on fishing may be the most ecological measure but it imposes a huge strain on fishing- based communities as well as diminishing the consumption of a healthy and efficient source of protein, vitamins and minerals.  In this context the project recognises that a restructuring of the fishing industry, moving from the fishing of wild stocks towards the cultivation of captured fish, may offer a more sustainable solution, not only for the natural ecology but also for fishing communities. This project sets up a semi-free ecology where fish are allowed to breed before they are caught (rather than harvested) again for food.  Aquaculture becomes ecological because a huge amount of research is involved in the new areas of cultivation in the following. • A whole eco-system of natural neighbouring species is provided together with the bred group of fish. Vegetation to host the inserted fish banks. An open project of regeneration of the sea bed and sea original species.  • Breeding of species (new breeding respecting the natural methods)  • Feeding with natural based algae and micro organisms, never with derivatives of the same species • Treatment of illnesses will never imply antibiotics or polluting substances elements for other natural inhabitants of the same eco-system  • Investigations include developing fish derives for oils, minerals and vitamins, form pharmaceutical purposes.  Salmons and trouts Phase 0. Setting of an underwater carpet of nourishment. Kelp algae is farmed in the swallower areas of the holding basins to increase diversity of the habitat. The kelp attracts many species such as crustaceous and smaller fish, which also become a wild food source for the trapped fish. Phase 1.  The species to be first implanted for trial will be blue fish that change their environment from sea to fresh water. This allows inserting a system of connected tanks that allow migration depending in the different phases of the life cycle. Given that has the capacity of varying the salinity levels of water, a new landscape of invisible lines is only visible from cultivation charts and the mobility on surface. Salmons and trouts have a similar and compatible method of breeding. Phase 2.  The farming of white fish requires a significant infrastructure, as cod and haddock are migratory species requiring much larger holding pens than other species as salmon or trout. This project looks at potential of such an infrastructure to become not only the framework for immediate harvesting but the continued investigation but for a larger scale installation of a marine fishing stock. 6. The climate register 6.1. parliament of winds A silent revolution through principles of wind micro turbines Flying wind farms, rooted to the ground as kites attached to the soil. The research center manages each of those elements and is responsible for the good keeping of the wind park. Also a trial field of new prototypes of micro wind turbines All energy production is based on wind and tidal energy. 6.2. walking on thin ice The extreme climate at Tallin finds response in the architectural measures that make possible an enlarged use of open access areas and that restricted, in every weather condition.  The itineraries within the fish farm Centre bent over the like an intermediate void that is a constant and changing human installation. A spatial swarms those debates between observation and action.  The winter shady atmosphere or a crystal clear in a sunny spring morning contribute to the magical features at any time in the year. The vegetation, geographic conditions, and natural background, performs an evocative setting for proposals that enhance the quality of island, river, architecture... The building that holds the marine life research center is a multilayered element and an active register of climate at all moments of the day. The certain position and dialog with the prevailing winds; reacts gently in its structural complexity; being dawn the most transforming moment of the day it works as a natural measurer of temperature; A barometer that announces the conditions of the outside. During the different hours of the day, a series of mutations take place in the enclosure of the different buildings that changes perception from inside towards the outside.  During the summer, the double façade walls and galleries are protected against an excessive solar gain. Naturally the ventilating systems perform gradually, (natural or mechanical) as air moving is needed
