THE CARBON ISLAND

THE ROOF STRUCTURE USES THE MOVEMENT RAILINGS TO ALLOW FOR A FREI OTTO STYLE TENSILE STUCTURE.

DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT

AS THE FACTORY SPANS THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE ISLAND, THE MOVEMENT OF THE FACTORY PLAY A KEY ROLE, ALLOWING FOR THE LOCAL TOWN TO STILL FUNCTION, ALLOWING FOR MAINTAINANCE OF THE MACHINARY AND FOR THE LAND BELOW TO BE USED FOR FARMING.

SHIPMENT DOCKYARD

NII JIMA AIRPORT THE DESIGN OF THE FACTORY AND AIRPORT IS TO SPAN THE WIDTH OF THE ISLAND, AROUND 2.2KM. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE ADDITION OF TWO DOCKING PORTS TO BE CREATED. ALLOWING FOR MATERIALS TO BE IMPORTED EFFICIENTLY.

CARBON FIBRE FACTORY

SHIPMENT DOCKYARD DUE TO THE NATURE OF CARBON FIBRE PRODUCTION PROCESS, THE FACTORY IS TO BE DESIGNED IN A LONG LINE. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SITE, AND THE ATTACK OF TSUNAMI WAVES, CAUSING FLOODING, THE FACTORY AND OTHER BUILDINGS ARE TO BE RAISED UP. USING MOTORS, THE BUILDING IS ABLE OT MOVE VIRTICALLY AND HORIZONATALLY.

THE INITIATIVE

THE WHOLE DESIGN NOT ONLY CONSISTS OF A FACTORY, BUT ALSO OTHER ASPECTS WHICH INVOLVE THE USE OF CARBON FIBRE. THE MAIN IDEA IS THAT THE STRUCTURE IS CONSTRUCTED FROM CARBON FIBRE, THIS ALLOWS FOR THE QUALITIES OF THE MATERIAL TO COMPLIMENT THE KENETIC FUNCTION OF THE DESIGN.

THE DRAWING BELOW IS A ZOOM IN OF THE BUILDING ELEMENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THIS BUILDING “COMPONANT” IS ARRAYED WITHIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, ALLOWING FOR DELICATE ELEMENTS TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE NATURAL ELEMENTS.

FIBRE GLASS ROOF, ALLOWING FOR LIGHT TO ENTER AND ALSO BE DIFFUSED INTO THE FACTORY

KALWALL WALL PANELS ALSO ALLOW FOR THE FACTORY TO HAVE CONSISTANT LIGHT TO ENTER THE FACTORY, WHILST ALSO INSULATING THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

CARBON FIBRE STRUCTURE ALLOWING FOR THE DESIGN, ALLOWING FOR A DELICATED AESTHETIC OF STRUCTURE TO BE WITNESSED WHILST PROVIDING A STRENGTH HIGHER THEN STEEL

INFRASTRUCTURE - MAIN BUILDINGS

THE STRUCTURE OF THE INRASTRUCTURE ALL CONNECTS WITH EACH OTHER, THIS ALLOWS FOR GROWTH OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE POSSIBLE. ALL THE STUCTURAL ELEMENTS BEING THE SAME, ELEMENTS FROM THE MAIN FRAME EITHER BECOME TAKEN AWAY OR SLIGHTLY ADAPTED.

MAIN STRUCUTURAL “POD”, WITHIN THE GROWING INFRASTRUCTURE, ELEMENTS CAN BE SEEN TO BE TAKEN AWAY AND MANIPULATED. THIS ALLOWING FOR STANDERDISED ELEMENTS TO JUST BE MANUFACTURED ONLY

STRUCTUAL CARBON FIBRE ELEMENTS, ON WHICH CONVAYOR BELTS AND WALKWAYS ARE THEN PLACED

STRUCTURE ALLOWING FOR HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT TO OCCUR

KALWALL PANEL, BOTH MIMICING THE TRADITIONAL JAPANESE PAPER WALLS WHILE PROVIDING THEMAL AND WATER PROTECTION

INTERNAL CARBON FIBRE STRUCTURE, FITTING INTO THE LARGER MOVING FRAMEWORK

HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT TRACKS, ALLOWING FOR THE LARGER BUILDING “POD” TO MOVE

TRAVELLING ROUTE WITHIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE

INFRASTRUCTURE - ELEMENTS

AS YOU MOVE WITHIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, ELEMENTS COME TOGETHER AND ARE TAKEN AWAY, DEPENDING ON THERE FUNCTION. THE DIAGRAM BELOW DISPLAYS THE QUALITIES OF THE STRUCTURE THAT HOLDS ONLY THE TRAVELLING ASPECT OF THE LARGER NETWORK.

THE MAIN TRAVELLING “TUNNEL” WITIHN THE FRAMEWORK HOSTS FOR TWO MONORAIL TRACKS AND A LARGE CONVAYOR BELT SYSTEM. THIS ALLOWS FOR GOODS AND BUILDING MATERIALS TO BE MOVED WITHIN THE NETWORK AS THE SYSTEM GROWS INTO THE LANDSCAPE.

CARBON FIBRE MASTS VERTICAL MOVEMENT MASTS

CARBON FIBRE SECONDARY STRUCTURE

CARBON FIBRE SHELL STRUCTURE ALLOWING FOR DENSE FRAMEWORK TO BE ADDED

DENSE CARBON FIBRE STRUCTURAL NETWORK, ALLOWING FOR CONVAYOR BELT AND MONORAIL TO BE ADDED

INFRASTRUCTURE - THE TRAVELLING ROUTE

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE LARGER INFRASTRUCTURE IS THE CYCLING PATH, COMPARED TO THE OTHER ELEMENTS IN THE NETWORK THIS ONLY HAS THE FUNCTION OF HOLDING THE MOVING CYCLIST. THEREFORE THE STRUCTURE IS ALOT MORE MINIMAL COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE LARGER NETWORK.

THE DESIGN IDEA FOR THE CYCLING PATH IS TAKEN FROM A TRADITIONAL SUSPENSION BRIDGE, ALLOWING THE SECONDARY STUCTURE TO BE HELD BY TENSION CABLES SUPPORTED BY THE MASTS.

THE CYCLING PATH IS MADE FROM TIMBER RATHER THEN CARBON FIBRE, WHICH IS TO BE SOURCED LOCALLY FROM THE ISLAND

THIS TRACK WHICH IS MADE FROM CARBON FIBRE BOTH SUPPORTS THE TIMBER, BUT ALSO CONTAINS A TRACK FOR THE TIMBER TO BE REPLACED EFFICIENTLY

THIS SECONDARY STRUCTURE ALLOWS FOR THE TRACK TO BE SUSPENDED

INFRASTRUCTURE - CYCLING ROUTE

SHIPMENT DOCKYARD

THE BUILD USES A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS FOR GOOD, PEOPLE AND LUGGAGE TO TRAVEL WITHIN THE SAME “TUNNEL”. THIS ALLOWS FOR SOCIAL INTERATIONS BETWEEN VISITORS AND WORKERS. FOR INTEREST WITHIN THE PROCESS TO OCCUR AS VISITORS TRAVEL PAST THE WORKING FACTORY.

1. THE CONTAINER SHIP DOCKS 2. THE “CRANE” SLIDES AND LOWERS TO PICK UP GOODS

2.

3. THE “CRANE” SLIDES BACK INTO LINE WITH THE TUNNEL 4. THE DOLLY WITHIN THE CRANE SLIDES TOWARDS THE TUNNEL

THE ARRIVAL OF THE GOODS CAN OCCUR A BOTH ENDS OF THE FACTORY, THIS ALLOWS FOR THE SHIPS TO DOCK EASILY. THE “CRANE” USES A STRUCTURAL SYSTEM THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE FACTORY, USING THE SAME COMPONANTS. THIS ALLOW FOR WORKERS TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE WAY THE MACHINARY WORKS AROUND THE ENTIRE BUILDING.

1.

THE ARRIVAL

5. THE GOODS ARE THEN MAGNETICALLY ATTACHED TO THE TRANSPORTING BELT.

STORAGE TANKERS

AS THE GOODS ARRIVE FROM THE “CRANE” THEY ARE SENT TOWARDS THE CENTRAL “TOWER”, IN WHICH THEY ARE THEN TRANSPORTED UPWARDS AND POURED INTO THE CONTAINERS, TO START THE PROCESS. THESE CONTAINERS, THESE LARGE CONTAINERS, NOT ONLY ALLOW FOR THE GOODS TO BE STORED, BUT HAVE ENOUGH ALLOWANCE FOR 30 DAYS WITHOUT A NEW SHIPMENT OF GOODS. NOT ONLY THIS, BUT THE TANKS ARE ALSO PLACE ONTO TRACKS, ALLOWING FOR UPWARDS MOVEMENT.

THE TANKS USE ANOTHER KENETIC SYSTEM WITH A MAGNETIC BELT, THAT ALLOWS FOR THE INCOMING NEW MATERIAL TO EFFIICENTLY TRAVEL AND MOVE UP TO THE TANK OPENINGS. THESE HUGE TANKS ARE OVERLOOKED BY THE TRAVELLERS WHO ARE USING THE AIRPORT AS WELL AS THE FACTORY WORKS.

THE BEGINNING

THE CARBON FIBRE FACTORY USES THE PROCESS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RESEARCHED, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROCESS THE FACTORY HAS TO BE DESIGNED TO PRODUCE ITS PRODUCT IN A LONG LINE. THEREFORE THE DIAGRAM BELOW SHOWS THE ELEMENTS OF THE PROCESS, AND WHICH COMPARTMENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THEY WILL BE HOUSED WITHIN.

1.THIS IS NEXT STEP OF THE PROCESS, FROM THE TANKS THE PAN CHEMICAL IS DRIED INTO A POWDER FORM

2. THIS POWDER IS THEN DISSOLVED INTO A CHEMICAL

BATH AND SLOWLY EXTRUDED WITHIN DISTILLED WATER

3.THE EXTRUDED FIBRE STRANDS THEN GO THROUGH A SERIES OF STRETCHING PROCESS, THIS INITIALLY STARTING WITH A COLD WET STRETCH

4. THE FIBRES GO THORUGH A HOT STRETCH AFTER THE COLD, THIS STRENGTHENS THE FIBRES

6. MULTIPLE FIBRES ARE THEN SPUN INTO A SINGLE

STRAND, AND A FILAMENT ROLL IS PRODUCED, ENDING THE PROCESS

5.THE FIBRES ARE THEN SLOWLY OILED, COATING EACH INDIVIDUAL STRAND AND DRIED.

THE FACTORY

THE HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT OF THE PROCESS ALLOWS FOR FINER FIBERS TO BE CREATED, THESE BECOMING STRONGER AS THERE ARE THEN WOVEN INTO A SINGLE STRAND. THIS ALLOWS THE FACTORY TO PRODUCE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARBON FIBRE DEPENDING ON THE DIFFERENT USES.

2. THIS POWDER IS THEN DISSOLVED INTO A CHEMICAL

BATH AND SLOWLY EXTRUDED WITHIN DISTILLED WATER

1.THIS IS NEXT STEP OF THE PROCESS, FROM THE TANKS THE PAN CHEMICAL IS DRIED INTO A POWDER FORM

4. THE FIBRES GO THORUGH A HOT STRETCH AFTER THE COLD, THIS STRENGTHENS THE FIBRES

3.THE EXTRUDED FIBRE STRANDS THEN GO THROUGH A SERIES OF STRETCHING PROCESS, THIS INITIALLY STARTING WITH A COLD WET STRETCH

6. MULTIPLE FIBRES ARE THEN SPUN INTO A SINGLE

STRAND, AND A FILAMENT ROLL IS PRODUCED, ENDING THE PROCESS

5.THE FIBRES ARE THEN SLOWLY OILED, COATING EACH INDIVIDUAL STRAND AND DRIED.

HOW IT WORKS

THE FINAL MODULE OF THE PROCESS

THE FACTORY IS DESIGN IN A WAY WHICH ALLOWS FOR DIFFERENT VIEWS TO BE SEEN, ABOVE IS AN ELEVATION OF THE FACTORY, SHOWING THE WORKERS IN BLUE AND THE AIRPORT TRAVELLERS IN YELLOW. AS YOU CAN SEE THE TRAVELLERS ARE RAISER HIGHER, ALLOWING FOR A FULL VIEW INTO THE FACTORY. THE GOODS AND FINISHED PRODUCT ALSO FOLLOW A SIMILAR PATH, THE GOODS SEEN IN LIGHT RED, AND HOVERING OVER THE FINISHED FILEMENT ROLLS IN RED. THIS SHOWS THE RAW MATERIAL AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE WORKER ARE IN BLUE WHILST THE TRAVELLERS ARE IN YELLOW, THEY BOTH SHARE THE SAME, TRAVELLING “TUNNEL” BUT ARE DIVIDED BY THE DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT. THE FINISHED FILEMENT IS ALSO SEEN IN RED, THIS TRANSPORTED TO THE “TOWER” TO BE STORED AND LATER SHIPPED BY PLANE OF BOAT. THE TRAVELLERS, ARE ABLE TO WITNESS BOTH THE FACTORY WORKINGS AS WELL AS THE FINISHED PRODUCT FROM THIS “TUNNEL”

THE FINALE

INTRODUCTION

FOR MY UNIT I HAVE DESIGNED A CARBON FIBRE FACTORY, BASED ON A SMALL ISLAND NEAR TOKYO, JAPAN. THE DESIGN CONSISTS OF VARIOUS FUNCTIONS, WITHIN AN INFUSTRUCTURE, MADE UP OF MAINLY CARBON FIBRE AS THE MAIN MATERIAL. THE INITAL FACTORY IS PRE FABRICATED, OFF SITE, AND IS THEN ASSEMBLED IN COMPONANTS, THE REST OF THE INFUSTRUCTURE IS THEN BUILT UP FROM THE CARBON FIBRE PRODUCED BY THE FACTORY.

THREE LAYERED INFLATED ETFE CUSHION

THE FACTORY AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE INFUSTRUCTURE, ARE ABLE TO MOVE IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS, THIS ALLOWS FOR THE BUILDINGS TO AVOID FLOODING WHEN A TSUNAMI HITS THE ISLAND (NII JIMA) WHERE THE SITE IS BASED.

INITIAL STRCTURAL MASTS

1. THE BUILDING AND LARGER INFUSTRUCTURE, RELIES ON THE SAME STUCTURAL SYSTEM. THE FIRST STAGE OF BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OCCURS OFF SITE (NII JIMA, JAPAN). THIS INITAL PART OF THE LARGER SCHEME IS THE FACTORY, WHICH PRODUCES THE CARBON FIBRE MATERIAL. THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION OCCURS WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE MOVEMENT STUCTURAL MASTS. THESE WILL ALLOW FOR THE BUILDINGS MOVING MECHANISM TO MOVE ALONG THE GROOVES WITHIN THE MASTS.

2. AS THE BUILDING IS ABLE TO MOVE IN BOTH THE HORIZONTAL DIRECTION AS WELL AS THE VERTICAL, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS, PUT INTO PLACE, THE VERTICAL THAT WAS PLACED IN STAGE 1 OF CONSTRUCTION ALLOWS FOR THE VERTICAL MOVEMENT. AND THE SECOND IS THE HORIZONTAL, WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE VERTICAL ELEMENTS. BOTH STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS ARE MADE FROM CARBON FIBRE, ALLOWING FOR THE STUCTURE TO BE LIGHTWEIGHT AND ALSO STRONG.

3. ONCE THE PRIMARY MOVEMENT STRUCTURE IS PLACED, THE SECONDARY STRUCTURE WHICH CONTAINS THE HORIZONTAL ROLLERS IS ATTACHED TO THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE. THESE ELEMENTS ARE PLACES WITHIN SPECIAL GROOVES WITHIN THE STRUCTURE. ONCE THESE ELEMENTS COME TOGETHER, THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS COMPLETE, THE INTERNAL FACTORY OR BUILDING ELEMENTS ARE THEN ATTACHED WITHIN THIS INITAL FRAMEWORK.

HOW ITS BUILT

4. THE CARBON FIBRE FACTORY THEN COMES TOGETHER, AFTER THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS PLACES (STEP 3) THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE IS ATTACHED. THE MAIN STRUCTURAL COMPONANTS CONSIST OF CARBON FIBRE BEAMS. ATTACHED ABOVE THIS IS A STEEL GRATED INDUSTRIAL FLOOR. AS THE BUILDING IS A FACTORY, THE STRUCTURE WITHIN IS QUITE RAW, AND EXPOSED, ALLOWING FOR EASY MAINTENANCE.

5. THE BUILDING “SHELL” IS THEN PLACED AROUND THE MAIN STRUCTURE, FOLLOWING ITS FORM. THE BUILDING MATERIAL TO MIMIC JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE, THE DESIGN BEING A REFERENCE TO THE TORI GATES OF TRADITIONAL JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE. THE WALLS ARE TO BE MADE OF KALWALL, WITH THE ROOF BEING MADE UP OF A GLASS ROOF. THIS ALLOWS FOR THERE TO A LIGHTWEIGHT LOOK, GIVING WORKERS A BRIGHT INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.

THIS DRAWINGS SHOWS WHERE THE VIEWS ARE TAKEN FROM, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE VIEWS ARE REFERENCED TO SPECIFIC PLACES ONTO THE SITE.

WHERE THINGS HAPPEN

AS A TSUNAMI WAVE HITS THE SITE, THE UNDERWATER WALL WILL REDUCE ALOT OF THE IMAPACT TOWARDS THE ISLAND, BUT THE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE SITE AND TSUNAMI WAVES THE SITE WILL BECOME FLOODED. THE FACTORY AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE FURTHER INFRASTRUCTURE IS DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE UP, AVOIDING ANY WATER THAT CAN IMPACT THE SITE, THE FACTORY CAN THEREFORE MOVE AND ADJUST TO AVOID ANY IMACT, FROM TSUNAMIS AND EARTHQUAKES. THE VISUAL SHOWS THE FACTORY WHEN THE SITE HAS BECOME FLOODED, SHOWING HOW THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WORKS ON THERE RICE AND WHEAT FEILDS WHEN THERE IS A NATURAL DISASTER.

THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS THE FACTORY WHEN IN NORMAL USE, HOW IT IS ABOVE THE GROUND, REDUCING THE IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY, ALLOWING THEM TO FARM AND MAINTAIN THERE CROPS.

WHEN FLOODING OCCURS THE FACTORY SHIFTS ITS HEIGHT, IN A WAY PROTECTING ITS INTERNALS, ALLOWING FOR PRODUCTION TO STAY CONSTANT.

WHEN IT FLOODS

WITHIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE NETWORK USING A SERIES OF MONORAILS. THIS VIEW SHOES THE INTERIOR OF THE MONORAIL AND THE VIEW SEEN

BY PASSANGERS.

BACK TO THE FACTORY

THE SITE HOSTS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT USES, THE MOST EXTREME BEING THE SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH PAD, IN WHICH PARTLY CARBON FIBRE SHUTTLES ARE TESTED.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

ON THE SITE THERE IS A TEST TRACK IN WHICH CARBON FIBRE BICYCLES ARE ABLE TO BE TESTED, ALLOWING FOR PROFESSIONAL RIDERS TO GET INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THERE RIDING MACHINES.

CYCLING SEASON

AS THE EXISTING SITE HOSTED AN AIRPORT, THE INFRASTRCTURE ALLOWED FOR THE REDESIGN OF THE AIRPORT, INCORPORATING THE AIRPORT WITHIN THE PROPOSED SYSTEM. THE IMAGE SHOWS HOW THE DESIGN IS IMPLMENTED WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE AND LARGER NETWORK.

TOUCHDOWN

THE LOCATION OF THE SITE, BEING OFF TOKYO AND KAWAGAWA, IS EFFECTED BY LARGE TSUNAMI WAVES, TO PREVENT LARGE SCALE DAMAGE TO THE SITE, CARBON FIBRE STRUCTURES UNWATER ARE SET UP, ROBOTS ARE ALSO UTILISED WHEN A DISASTER OCCURS TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR THE STRUCTURES.
