Organic City / Reef City
After some thought I have decided that the aspect I’m most interested and fascinated by at the moment
is the translation of urban, geometric static forms into organic shapes.
What would a building look like, if it weren’t a human-build structure with strict constraints but a free flowing shape,
changing its form to adjust to its needs? What would maybe even a whole city look like?
To deal with these questions I have begun to research coral reefs. I consider them to be metropolises of the sea
as they provide a variety of organisms with food and shelter. Even though they cover less than 0.1 % of ocean surface,
they harbor 25 % of all marine species.
For this project I would like to try and “translate” a city (or part of a city) like Weimar into a reef-like structure and see,
what changes emerge through the organic shape-building. Maybe some of these realizations can even be of use
in the process of future urban development connected to global warming.
