Workshop 5 _ Urban Place Form _ “Inverted Pascuqan”
This urban typology represents an Utopia.
It is based on the ideal, that the “Input” to a house can be limited to only two elements.
- Consumer goods: Food, toys, luxury goods, daily-life goods.
- Clear rainwater
That means, no electricity, no fresh water, no heating and no fresh air is needed from outside.
In a second step, the “Output” is limited to two elements as well:
- Clear water, ready to be returned to the earth.
- Recycled materials, e.g. usable as building materials.
This utopia will be called “www.Inverted.Pascuqan.net(work)”
Three characteristic and representative elements of the proto urban conditions in Pascuqan are inverted:
- Walled house » Courtyard house
- Waste dump » Waste cycle
- Water import/export » Local water
But see youself (more explanation will follow)
