Island Connections

Islands support flat transit for shipping and transit between projects. They can fold flat into a configuration of greater reach to bridge large distances, or can be folded up, at 90 degree angles, to support a seating arrangement.

Floating Solar Battery

Islands has the capacity for solar panel options, acting as a battery to transfer energy between projects. Each battery can take energy from structures generating energy excessive of need, and transfer this energy through other islands to other projects with an energy deficit.

CIRCULATION MAP:

This study analyses pedestrian, bike, car, boat, and water taxi traffic on the RDM site. ISLANDS aims to connect people from all transit modes, by land or by sea, anywhere in the wet harbour site. The square masses floating in the harbour represent one possible scenario for the position of the ISLANDS. ISLANDS can also connect to other floating projects in a multitude of configurations, such as the FLOATING THEATER.

Map of Access Points

The RDM harbour site includes both land and water; these 2 entities only connect with each other at certain points. This map highlights shore-water access points in yellow. ISLANDS aims to have the capacity (regardless of tidal height) to connect all access points (i.e. the DOKKAFFEE) with one simple system.

Free-Floating Islands

ISLANDS float freely and have the capacity to regroup and cluster around certain projects according to need. For example, it can connect people to the BABEL TOWER who would like to worship. As a network of connective modules, they also can possess different functions, for example:

- floating solar farm - floating food farm - floating public baths

The great planar area which ISLANDS consumes is optimal to maximize solar harvesting and sun exposure for plants. Think flat and wide-spread. :)

(PROJECT:OBJECT)

Project 23 (FLEXIBLE WATER TRANSIT) :: Object 17 (Cargo Vessel Shoonerbrig TRES HOMBRES 126 ton)

The sailing general cargo vessel schoonerbrig TRES HOMBRES 126 ton is a ship constructed by Andreas Lackney and the employees and volunteers of the Fair Transport sustainable shipping company.

Flexible Water Transit (AQUATIC TRANSPORTATION) aims to connect all styles of transit to and from the RDM dock. This includes pedestrian, bicycle, car, boat, bus, train, and water taxi transportations. As a network of floating platforms, the aquatic transit modules can connect such boats as the cargo vessel schoonerbrig (Object 17) for repair and docking.

PROJECT:PERSON

Project 23 (FLEXIBLE WATER TRANSIT) :: Person 25 (Captain Andreas Lackner)

Andreas Lackner is one of the three heads of Fair Transport, a sustainable transport company. The company works with Tres Hombres Rum, selling their product at ports worldwide.

Lackner and other such sailors who frequently dock at the RDM pier require a level platform for boat repair and access the the shore. In particular, Lackner deals directly with the port public to sell handcrafted goods. A good connection between sea and land is vital. AQUATIC TRANSIT aims to facilitate easy transit for sailors such as Lackner and locals to interact on water. Additional programs such as farming and swimming can also be provided atop the floating modules.

PROJECT:OBJECT

Object 17 (Cargo Vessel Shoonerbrig TRES HOMBRES 126 ton) :: Person 25 (Captain Andreas Lackner)

Andreas Lackner is the captain of the Cargo Vessel Shoonerbrig TRES HOMBRES. Lackner represents the segment of the local population of RDM harbour which sporadically docks ship for a period of 1 day - 2 weeks. Since numerous vessels as the TRES HOMBRES will be harboured here, the architecture must accommodate such arrivals and departures, in addition to services such as boat repair, sale of goods, and frequent traffic.
