在上海世博会展示过的可搬运的游客塔
本帖最后由 water 于 2014-6-23 13:51 编辑Theultimate in the marriage of aesthetics, functionality, modularity, portabilityand sustainability, the 'transportable tourist tower (TTT)' byportuguese
architect jose pequeno in collaboration withthe dst group made its debut at the 2010 shanghai expo andhas since made its way across the globe.
With the combination of a cleverly designed prefabricated structure thatoptimizes interior area and new revolutionary technologies, the towerrepresents a new type of habitability that could prove extremely useful beyond its currentuse as a tourist information post and temporary installation. the construct can be built with almost any wood - a potentially 100% renewable resource - andglass, a 100% recyclable material. needing as little as 10 square-meters for its installation, the three storey vertical tower returns an extremelyefficient floor to area ratio as it takes up a very small footprint. itsvarious facade screens and panels filter the necessary light which make it adaptable to anylocation and climate, and although it takes up a minimal area on site, it contains a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, living space, study, bedroom, and arooftop deck.
Adding to the project's dynamic characteristics, in addition tobeing implemented as a singular vertical edifice it can also be usedhorizontally as well.
a minimal steel structure provides four control points from which a small cranecan easily move the structure. this also allows for the stacking of the
units to create a larger composite building with flexible modules that can bereplaced, removed, or added onto almost infinitely. the sustainable features
of the tower revolve around three basic principles: 'the economic and strategicviability of its implementation; environmental commitment with the use
of solar energy systems; and a socio-cultural support based on a constructiveapproximation to nature.' one of the new technologies used in the construction is the innovative et3 structural timber-glass panel. these versatile componentscan be used as a floor or ceiling slab, or a vertical wall, and integrateactive and passive solar energy systems and bioclimatic functions that ensure optimalinsulation and energy efficiency. perhaps the most important part of the entire construction, of the whole unit down to the individual et3 panels, istheir ability to be deconstructed and completely re-used to almost anyapplication.
