The chosen site is a stalled condo structure located between Berry Street and Bedford Ave on North 12 Street. It a six story structure
with all its structural elements already in place.
It is also located in the perimeter of the dense urban condition
edging on the open spaces of parks and play fields.
The site offers potential for harnessing wind and converting that to useful energy.Guerilla architecture is essential, as a primary requirement for temporarily stalled condition
of the site.
So, temporality, and respecting the architect's and builders's plans for the structure is the key element in my intervention. Keeping my architectural intervention as temporary as possible.
Meaning no lasting structural components added to the existing infrastructure and structure.
The site generates an avergae of 10 knots of wind at ground level.
The illustration above clearly illustrates the incompatibility of a large scale wind turbine in the densely packed urban condition. Other means of harnessing the wind has to found. Much morestudies need to be conducted over the proposed site.....More to come.......
