neuer Thread, am besten hier.... Rudolf Sponsel writes:
Vorschlag: Definition der Elemente (Kinder, Werktätige, Rentner, Landwirtschaft, Wohnen, Gebietskörperschaft, Verwaltung, Steuern, ... ... ...) In diesem ganz und gar nicht Metaphorik-Sinne: Gute Nacht ;-)
Hi Rudolf et alii: unlängst hatte ich dasselbe Problem in der arcology Liste. Dort geht es um Städtebau nach nachhaltigen Prinzipien. So radikal anders daß die Bewegung heute noch etwas Marginales hat (www.arcosanti.org) Ein gewisser Randall Hunt fragte mich nach einem operationalisierten physischen Konzept für eine Arcology. Hier ist es, für mich ein Element einer anderen Gesellschaft. Thema Landwirtschaft und Wohnen. Randall Hunt <randhunt wildapache.net> writes:
The result could be disaster, the result could be "augmented biotopes".You can say that again. Yet, I'd rather hear you describe your physical conceptualization of arcology.
"Thank you, Randall, for that question. I am not an architect, so I have no drawings, but for me there is some very clear points of description: let me put in a quick mental image for you and anybody who is interested: Imagine.... 1. Small Arcologies of <2000 are not exceptions, but a widespread phenomenon. They are nested in the natural which they are part of. There is, in a deeper sense, not a pure natural sphere. Human activities and nature are intertwined. There is historical examples for that, mainly in Europe: cultural landscape, with varying degrees of intensity of land use. 2. Shape of Arcology is always in dialogue with the shape and character of landscape. But also in intense cohesion with the natural qualities of climate, snow, ice, rain, floods. Mini-Arcology or Village Arcology is a landship, protecting against forces of nature, at the same time giving access and allowing dialogue with nature. 3. Flow of man and material: Also Village Arcologies are mostly situated alongside mass transportation lines. 4. The hilltown as ideal form: As Justus Dahinden and Richard Lewine have conceptualised, the urban hill is the most humane form of living. Everybody is entitled to a view, a breathe, a small garden ten by ten yards ten steps from the bed. The surface of Vilage Arcology is the natural extension of the surface of the planet. The stomach of Village Arcology holds the rest. Italian hilltowns and greek mountain villages are great examples of surface management. Everything, including public - private schemes, rain treatment, climatisation in micro - atria etc. The human habitat is the skin, the skin is the center, but the skin is also able to close and protect itself. 5. concentric circles: The village Arcology might be surrounded by a suburban and farm-garden-hydroculture-ring, but this is limited in size due to accessibility. Local choice of lifestyles is possible. It is mandatory also that a short walk leads the individual to encounter with nature beyond deep social influence. 6. Dissipation and osmosis: the size of Village Arcology is determined by the optimum relation between production and reproduction, breathing in and breathing out, fulfilling a partial role in a larger ecosystem. Village Arcology is bioregional. Purification of water, food production, leisure, sports, growing of raw material: lots of things happen outside village arcologies. Forests are essential for the planatary climate balance. Village Arcologies are guarding forests. Maybe the Pawlonia trees around Arcosanti are a harbinger of that future. 7. Global spere: The "inner sun" of the arcology is not only provided by local residents and travelling artists. Cyberspace means the constant presence of the global virtual human metropolis in the "stomach" of the Village Arcologies. Caves, virtual reality theatres, holographic study rooms, supported by lightwells. They serve purposes of education, entertainment, research, production, design, develoipment. 8. Cultural diversity. There is not one musical instrument for all human cultures. There are many cultural ways incompatioble with each other. A village Arcology might be a matter of choice of core values, which also want to be acted out physically. The swiss writer P.M. has conceptualised that as a multitude of "bolos", according to various "nimas". If we look at Las Vegas, we see a perverted form of this "theme" aspect of building in its gigantic hotels. So Village Arcologies can be unlike each other simply by "theme". One theme might be "classic", another might be "modern". One might be "natural, down to earth", another might be "decadent and laissez faire". I personally like to share my Village Arcology with bookmaniacs, and we want to share a spacious library room as the centerpiece of our arcology. Is there anybody out there who wants to share that dream? These are some essentials. I have not touched automation, circular material fows within the Village Arcology, the structure of production and many others. Nevertheless I find the eight points a pretty comprehensive collection. Thank you Randall, for giving me the incentive to write them down for the first time. I would be very glad if this could be continued in some work space and if some people interested would join." _______________________ http://www.oekonux.de/
