NEW PLANT

MANIFESTO

The New Plant is a proposal of reversal colonization where an organic faced building takes home in the remnants of an abandoned ruin.

The mass is joined through 3 chimneys gutted out and ready for a new use, this is taken advantage as the blobs contract and expand into the crevices overflowing onto the building below acting as anchor and umbilical chord.

The program is separated into each one of the alveolic bodies swith an immigration museum which is relocated into the chimneys, it is complimented with a trade school and restaurant dedicated into helping tourist immigrants get a foot into the economy that that has benefitted so much from their uncredited work through history as well as forging a new relationship with a different meaning of seaside..

Its a project of recolonization and renewal

OVERVIEW

As an overview, the Three chimneys stand out both physically and programatically due to its emptiness and cultural importance to the inhabitants of the area. People want to sneak into the complex and explore its spaces as if they were exploring a cavern or going up a mountain.

Connecting the sea with the already existing towers as well as making it possible to inhabit them in some way is part of the main plan to give back to all the humans that have gone through the area allowing the next generations to be able to stay.

CONTEXT

The site is a former power plant at the end of the river Bes{os which has historicalloy separated it from the main city of Barcelona and relegated its use to the industry and service.

Users are mainly immigrants and people who venture into the nearby beach which is not accesible through our site.

That being said our site is not legally acesible but is visible throughout all of Sant Adriá making it a landmark.

ECOSYSTEM

The river and the sea are the main ecosystems at play on the site while we have a lot of green spaces around the area most of them are not accesible due to them being spaces near or under highways or are private fields only accesible to a few.

The river is the only openly linear and public park which services the area and joins both the sea and the city.

Sant Adriá is sliced by many infrastructural lines such as train tracks and a highway intersection/exchange which limits the interaction with the northern part of the area with the sea and subsequently the inbetween.

There is also a severe lack of formational schools which hold a lot of power in the upbringing of the area making it a necessity to travel into the city for any type of formation.

MUSEUM ROUTE

Times of migrations and understanding.

Migrations from prehistory to the 20th century. 20th-century migrations.

History from the perspective of human mobility. Concepts and terminology associated with migration are examined by means of interactive and educational museographical elements. It’s an introductory journey from prehistory to the 20th century during which the visitors study concepts such as nomadism and the baggage linked to the migrants’ learning. We invite the public to experience prejudice and to analyse territoriality and identity as concepts associated with migratory processes.

Finally, the reasons for migrations and the historical background of crossing seas and oceans are explained. We finish by taking a look at Catalonia and Sant Adrià de Besós, a region that has seen constant migrations since the 19th century.

Migrations in the era of globalisation.

The exhibition area invites visitors to reflect on the most immediate present and the future of migrants. It also raises questions about how they’re welcomed and how society’s identity is being shaped.

It’s a globalised space confined by different borders that enters the maze of the contemporary metropolis and the physical, emotional and bureaucratic routes that migrations take and examine the current migratory heritage.

The exhibition conjures up the memories and uncomfortable facts of the present: migrant children, racism, colonialism and the boats in which migrants put to sea..

How we can improve immigrant lives. (Trade School)

The trade school offers a new way or path through which people which are in displacement would find a way in which they can better settle and find some independence done thorugh various workshops centering on the maintenance of household items but also with environmentally concious techniques that use biomaterials derived from algae.

ALGAE AS THE SUBJECT

Algae can be used as an amalgamation with certain chemicals which can be turned into particleboardlike planks that can be used for construction.

Liquefying the algae into a liquid formula that can then be used as a dye or turned into a textile when combined with cellulose, a plant fiber, which clothing manufacturers can do themselves using paperlike making recipes.

KAYAKÖY

Previously known as Karmilassos and when the Greeks occupied it, they changed its name to Levissi.

The first mention of Levissi dates back to the 14th century by an Italian traveler Built in the 1700s, the town was home to as many as 20,000 Greek Orthodox residents by the early twentieth century.

The international fallout of World War I and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire led to the land grabs of the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922).

The loss of the Greeks in this war ended with violence and retribution, aimed at the remaining Greek Orthodox community within the new Turkish borders, and against the Muslim Turks in Greece.

Hundreds of thousands of Greeks fled the violence in Turkey, leading the governments to agree to a mutual compulsory population

exchange starting in 1923 in order to stop conflicts.

The residents of Kayakoy, who had lived peacefully with their Turkish neighbors, abandoned the town and went to Greece, which struggled to find places for the nearly 200,000 refugees of the exchange, adding to the more than a million former Turkish residents who had fled before the official exchange.

Over 300,000 Turks were forcibly removed from Greece to conflict laden Turkey in exchange.

In Kayakoy, more than 350 homes now sit empty and mostly roofless, along with two Greek Orthodox churches and the fountains and cisterns that watered the city.

Harsh winters and strong winds have stripped the buildings down to ruins, making the town look ancient. A private museum tells the story of the town.

Kayaköy was adopted by the UNESCO as a World Friendship and Peace Village.

Grading System

Bringing back to a former condition of being.

Architectural restoration is the action or process of accurately revealing, recovering or representing the state of a historic building, as it appeared at a particular period in its history, while protecting its heritage value.

To keep in a stable condition of being without human intervention.

Architectural Preservation is an endeavour that seeks to preserve, conserve and protect buildings, objects, landscapes or other artifacts of historical significance leaving outside human intervention aside.

To keep in a stable condition of being with human inhabitation.

Architectural Conservation is the process through which the material, historical, and design integrity of any built heritage are prolonged through carefully planned interventions renderig it still habitable or functional.

Sustainable Architecture tries to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large.

To be able to do a clear layout that can be read and interpreted as functioning in an efficient way.

The ability to replace or add any one modular component without affecting the rest of the architectural system.

Makes architecture not a static structure lets it interact with internal forces (dwellers and the function) and external forces ( natural phenomena).

Create a coherent and cohesive material framework to minimize the environmental impact and complications that arise while building.

To do each space with certain characteristics that involve the external foces to create an individual response.

Year: 1959-1973

Location: Verona, northern Italy.

Area: 161.0 m2

Architects: Carlo Scarpa.

Use: Historical Art Museum.

Architectural Completion Architectural Contrast

Museo di Castelvecchio is a site where architecture from multiple historical periods meet.

The building itself is an exhibit of the history of Verona. Rather than a complete restoration, the interventions are alterations and additions to Avena’s version in 1926.

The intervention has enhanced the appearance of the building and its exhibits. Scarpa’s architectural style is visible in the details for doorways, staircases, furnishings, and even fixtures designed to hold a specific piece of artwork atop of the stairs.

The main interventions were executed on the Napoleon wing which sits on eastern side of the complex. Smaller interventions were made on the interior of the complex.

The renovation carefully balances new and old, respects the history of the original building where appropriate and fills in the gaps where its needed.

It has become a staple as case studies for renovations to create an harmonious contrast and dialogue between old and new.

Slow Living Communities

What is Slow Living?

“Slow living is just living slowly, in whatever and however way that means to you. It’s about knowing and passionately loving the things we value, and designing our lives to spend the most time possible enjoying them. It’s about having intentionality and consciousness in our activities, about escaping the mindless scrolling and unproductive multi-tasking and focusing on purposeful action. It’s about em bracing the fact that you’re not doing it all – it’s about doing less, but better.” — Kayte Ferris

In Kayakoy you will be able to buy a share in property gaining a Turkish passport and also would include a part of the forest har vesting rights, the mining rights and the ag riculture lands.

This promotes the relationship and trading between towns in the Lycian Province this would make for a more sustainable and controlled way of growth rotating the trees from one area to another while the other is being mined.

Craftsmen Communities

Looking back in history.

€

They are an association of artisans or merchants who oversee the practice of their craft/trade in a particular area.

They often depend on grants from an authority to enforce the flow of trade to their selfemployed members, and to retain ownership of tools and the supply of materials.

Activity Relationships

How to build them

With a scheme of tree and mining rotation we need for a clear and concise way to understand how intertwined this activities involved in the structure of Kayaköy work.

Direct relations and overlaps are done with the source materials and the way people who source those materials live which at the end comprise how Kayaköy is layed down.

Form Building Code

Water collection pond for in-home usage, should be positioned in the most stable corner of the ruined walls respecting the other distribution codes.

COLLECTION

The access should be done according to each case with the out-most respect for the ruins in each case. Studio is original access, warehouse has external stairs and the slow living has external stairs in the cases that the ruin is too small to have well functioning stairs.

Facade should be completing the studio with the contrast of the bricks, warehouse should not be inside any ruin and should be made out of wood and the Slow Living should be inside a ruin and made out of wood.

Is how to interact with each of the buildings in their vertical spatial division. Maximum number of levels is determined by the structural function but it can not be more than 2.

Roofs should be tilted for easier water movement, in the studio and the warehouses is tilted 14° and the slow living are tilted 5° to create a better contrast with the other houses but still maintain drainage.

Studio occupies both levels that can be built but the other two only occupy the 1st level leaving the ground level empty tor expect the ruins surrounding it.

Studio can be built atop & offset from the ruin to reconstruct with brick the reinterpretation of the home, the warehouses shall not be built near ruins and the Slow Living shall leave a 40cm space from each of the ruined walls.

Ventilation is done through the inner courtyard naturally thanks to wind currents and the chimney effect.

Kayaköy Trading Sectors

Where do we get things from?

Timber importations would come from the neighboring towns of Fethiye and Cedit because of their proximity but most importantly Fethiye due to the prescence of Sea Port.

The brickworking tradition in Turkey will prove useful to make sure a steady supply from both Fethiye and Cedit is available during the first expansion steps.

Population and Rotation Planning

How

grow and

The layout of a clear planning for a constant growth tries to contemplate the need for a constant supply of lumber and clay/dirt for the artisanal industry in Kayaköy.

Lumber can be harvested in a certain range of maturity of the trees so we need an ample space to plant the trees and being able to harvest them and transport them while doing a sensible rotation in-between tree harvesting and clay mining.

The replenishment of clay is a sedimentary process that requires a level of replenishing time that ranges from 5 to 15 years which is parallel to the maturity reach of the trees so it can easily be monitored to maximize efficiency.

The CO2 burial that is done with the lumber greatly reduces the amount that goes into the atmosphere and the harvesting of the trees absorbs more of this oxygen into the trees for further use in construction.

Pinus brutia, Turkish pine

Pine tree typically grown in the southern part of Turkey really resistant to heat and droughts.

It is widely planted to be harvested for timber due to its resistance and flexibility.

Kayaköy Population Strategy by Sector

The reintroduction of people into Kayaköy should be gradual to minimize the impact on the ancient ruins identifying the most crucial places that should be intervened first to control the growth of the population.

Zoning will be crucial to develop a constant influx of activities into each place to develop them accordingly.

Rehabilitation of main church center to act as city center and be in control of what happens throughout the city planning.

Conditioning of nearby houses to begin the reintroduction of people in the slow living communities with construction materials brought from neighboring communities (in the Lycia province).

Introduction of the slow living communities into this houses that were done with the money from the communal fund.

Slow living which emphasizes more ‘traditional’ food production processes will be the main focus in this community.

After more of the houses have been rehabilitated we can begin the reintroduction of pottery-working craftsmen to begin the production of adobe bricks for the Kayaköy community and the Lycia province.

This also begins the rehabilitation of the dirt roads transforming them into brick roads to help the village’s refurbishment, taking advantage of the soil present in the locality, and the Utilities Cluster will appear to boost the speed in the village.

Continuing with the house rehabilitation we introduce woodworking craftsmen to create a local supply of timberwood into Kayaköy but mainly the Lycia province.

This timberwood would be sourced from the nearby forests in the province and Kayaköy.

Final stage would be the consolidation of the craftsmen community with both the pottery and the timber in Kayaköy.

Kayaköy Landscape Flora

How to bring what belongs in Kayaköy

The flora introduced into Kayaköy should be done with the population planning diagram so that it grows along with the population.

It would be divided according to the boroughs where the majority of the flora would be of one species endemic to Turkey

and that would be ideal with the seasonal changes that happen throughout the year.

This meaning that there will be a reintroduction that would cohabit with species already existing.

Main Open Spaces

-The absence of buildings that could be restored. -Separation between each ruin is greater than 2m.

-Located in a secluded part of the city.

-Ventilation and sun exposure is maximized by location. -Connection can only be done between each of them.

Boardwalk & Terraces

Moving around.

The steep nature of Kayaköy’s topography calls for a solution that solves the accessibility in a way that people can move around but we also create a system of joints that connect plazas and houses.

Boardwalk staircases connect the steepest ponts.

Offset from ground helps solve steep and irregular topography.

Height of railing to avoid accidents.

The plazas and terraces are made with one of the most readily available material produced in Kayaköy which is brick.
