Plugin Architecture: People's Architecture Office's Housing Solution Evades Planning Approval


People’s Architecture Office (PAO) has completed an experimental installation at Vanke’s Shenzhen Headquarters that circumvents the issue of private home ownership amidst strict governmental regulations. Termed the Plugin Tower, the temporary structure overrides planning approval as it requires no underground foundation, making it easy for residents to deploy their structures wherever they decide to relocate. Inspired by Metabolist forms and composed as a multi-story prefabricated system, Plugin Tower consists of a steel space frame, a kit-of-parts approach which supports variable assembly, needs and conditions. Materially, Plugin Tower uses PAO’s panel system, which are modules that embed such elements as insulation and wiring into a single molded part. Designed to serve the needs of everyday Chinese citizens, the panels require little skill to assemble, merely requiring 2 set of hands to attach by integrated locks using a hex wrench. Read more from POA about this flexible housing structure that can prove a helpful asset in addressing China’s statewide housing concerns: "For Vanke’s inaugural design event that explores a pressing architectural theme each year, People's Architecture Office was invited by the real estate developer to tackle the ‘future of housing’ through an experimental built ... , Architizer Editors, read more Architizer http://ift.tt/2fEfYAs

Geo-Matrix Towers Span Across Oceans To Connect The Planet

Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean. The towers are also self-sufficient and mine minerals from the water as well as farm to support their communities. Research and manufacturing also feature heavily. The connections of the g
