The Digital Anthropocene

What prompted the project?

Given the fact that the biodiversity is at stake , the projects main purpose is to come up with potential solutions to change the world, and at the same time prevent further demolition. The goal is to create a digital archive oF the Chicago’s biodiversity in order to preserve what little it has left. Though natural habitat comprises less than three percent of the entire city area, all basic types of northeaster Illinois natural areas are represented within Chicago, particularly forests, aquatics and wetlands. Which further indicated the urgent need to worship

This project develops a way for a discourse that investigates on the possibilities of integrating machine Intelligence and human coordination to produce a multiverse hybrid vertical community of artists and communal spaces.The goal is to create a digital archive of the Chicago’s biodiversity in order to preserve what little it has left.

What is the expansion plan of the project?

 The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems, including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. Our home is threatened: climate breakdown, population growth, deforestation, pollution, income and wealth disparities, lack of pure water, health problems, the enormous reduction of biodiversity – just to name a few – are accelerating tremendously.We know that.
The Digital Antrophocene shows that architecture is called to think itself as a geological actor capable of radically transforming the earth’s atmosphere, surface morphology, and future stratigraphy.

Anthropocene is the era in which we live. Anthropocene gives us images of the territory that lead to a sort of hiding of nature in which we can see its reappearance as a disturbing object from another time because of its interaction with artificial objects.  This projects explores how the exponential growth in communication technology is changing the way we interact with the tangible and intangible spaces.

How are the 5 senses stimulated?

The stimulation of the senses is reached by a constant exchange of virtual and real nature. Also, the movement through the building is sensational itself. Centerpiece of the structure vividly offers sensory experience of Chicago’s biodiversity. Projectors bring city's biodiversity to life, showing images of the country's history and culture, popular festivities, cities, and renewable energy sources. As you step into the pavilion, you feel like you are in an oasis, immersed in Illinois's natural environment, walking through diverse landscapes. You will experience cultural and gastronomic diversity through taste, rhythms, sounds, textures, images, and also through design. The design featurd is created over a series of workshops and events that take place in this Art Garden.

How will the project transform with the passing time?

 Interactions between humans and buildings will become increasingly important to consider in the design of future architecture. Recent technological developments in biology, computation, cybernetics, engineering, industrial design, materials, and robotics allow architecture to evolve beyond static functionality and become an active participant-with the capacity to perceive, react to, and connect-with humans and the natural world.

In this case ,the building allows its users to join the construcion process, as well as to become an active participant in the evolution of the project. By using an app specifically designed for this purpose, users have a free 3D software program where they can create and post their ideas. Although the core of the cration’s hierarchy is computerly generated, users can still contribute in creating their own personal space.

A serie of illustration that show the never-ending growth of the structure thruought the span of 10 years. humans and the machine brain are the dominant force shaping it. But yet, it never reaches its final look , always in a search for a better and more effiecient and sustainable solution.

What was the intent behind the organization of elements across various levels ?

A typology play is a folder of separate units that are created for many different usage. Firstly as a spot for inovating new ways of sustainable living,  environment pervention and protection, and secondly as a place for creating, learning, educational activities. They can exist and function either within the base construction, independently or grouped as a cluster. Picture platforms that can be workshop, discussion room, comercial block, sleeping unit or art production unit, designed to be a sensational experience and engage city surrounding it. Their actions take place within the vision of a virtual world speculating on a new nature adding up to the altered layers of the Anthropocene era, the present geological epoch in which emerges fragments of deterritorialization sculpted and polished by our specie. It is the clear result of planet-scale domestication.
