Non standard and interactive architecture - Hyperbody

This architectural project is set in Venice and it is an attempt to save this town from flooding and the collapsing on itself. The strategy of the project is mainly based on the use of the invasive algae that are growing in the lagoon creating ecologic disequilibria to produce energy and other kind of goods. The main focus of the project is the endeavor to protect Venice from being damaged further on an ecologic and social level trying to involve and sensitize also the population. For these reasons the project includes not only functions connected to green strategies and the treatment of the algae themselves but also facilities for tourists and the Venice population’s itself. In order to reach the aim of the project the building should answer to the ecologic disequilibria in a dynamic way. For this reason the theoretical background of the project lies in the capacity of the design process to act directly upon form in real-time investigating computational processes in non-standard and interactive architecture, starting from behavioral simulations (System thinking).
