Micro-Aggregation Drawing

This diagram was made by using offset and then coming over it with blend.

Quarantine Cell: Project 2

Wrapping Technique

The pictures above are some quick sketches I drew to start incorporating the wrapping of the building in the pipes used to collect the water from the bridge. It also shows where the air and water intersect. I do feel like I would like to exagerate the look of the pipes wrapping the building; almost in a wild vine/weaving like fashion.

Diagrams

The above diagrams shows the water movement collected from the bridge, as well as the air intake. Where the water and air intake intersect is where the filtration process takes place. From the water and air diagrams formed the two main spaces in my spatial diagram.

Entergy

The harvest electrivity for my quarantine unit, I will use one of two ways to produce it. The first to come across my mind was to use wind turbines. On the other hand, I was also given the advice to use piezoelectrics. In the use of piezoelectrics, could passing on the bridge over head would generate the power simply by crossing over small bumps in the road.

Access to the Quarantine Cell

Access to the quarantine cell will be difficult considering my site is located directly underneathe the bridge. To make a quick exchange between the ship and the quarantine cell, my plan is to create a jetway like structure that will extend from the cell to the top deck of the ship. To do this, the ship has to pull within 20 feet of the bridge to have adequate clearance space. Once the exhange takes place, the "shipway" will contract back into itself.

Also, a second plan is to have an elevator connected from the quarantine cell to the dock. To do this without an elevation shaft, a steel cable will be stretched from the cell to the ground, and the elevator will glide along the cable. The purpose of the elevator is to enable easy echange of supplies to and from the cell.

Initial Design

In the initial design I took into account two main ideas: Separation of wind/water spaces, and the continuance of the bridges structure elements.

The higher portion of the building consist of the spaces that use water, like the kitchen and the bathroom. The lower addition of the building consist of spaces in which oxygen is the element most used, such as the exercise room, living room, and bedroom areas.

The second main idea was to incorporate the bridges existing structure into the support of the building. In this attempt, I mirrored some of the effects of the columns used in the upper portion of the bridge.
