Linear Layers

Through Texas City analysis, I discovered three layers of residential and industrial layers moving over the years. As the industrial area has moved north, the residential grew towards northwest. I took the concept of layering and specifically on the front technology. In this front technology, there are several layers creating a pathway for air. First these exterior fans take in the air to the building where it meets honeycomb shaped filters. These filters are located on the end of structural honeycomb extensions. From then, the air meets the damped pottery beehive cooling system. Once the hoot air goes through damped pottery tubes. it comes out cooled down. And with that, air finds its way to the building. This technology acts as an individual structure and the buildings are connected to each other through a bridge and all of the floor plates are cut off to highlight the technology., While the main program is an I-FLY, all corresponding programs are dispersed to keep the visitors interactive within the two buildings. Additionally, the building has kinetic solar panels that can be adjusted for the sun’s direction. As an emphasis to the layers, there is a visible linear grid within my programs. This is also visible on the site, though the trees, pathways, and bodies of water.
