AR0135 - Design Specification
The architectural object is intended as a 'focus point'. It needs to be a freestanding unit positioned outside on the main square of the campus. Non-standard architecture of fluid forms should make this object a unique focus point.
General requirements
The 'focus point' needs to be a crossing between an unmanned kiosk, an abri and a meeting point. Therefore it needs to:
- be a place to gather information, in digital or printed form (i.e. newspapers);
- be a shelter from the sun and the rain;
- be a place to meet others and maybe sit down for a chat.
Fabrication limitations
Although the 'Polkima-method' has virtually unlimited options, there are a few fabrication limitations due to the short time frame in which the 'focus point' needs to be designed and built. Therefore it needs to:
- be built in one week;
- be self-supporting;
- be built with a maximum of 4m3 of polyurethane foam.
