Water Morphs
author(s):MALLIKA ARORA
Summary
What exists is an abundance of water. Water as the strongest 'tangible' 'context' ! Building on water; water as a 'building material'? In the following states - solid(ice), liquid(water), Gaseous(steam)? Or water as a supportive element - Pneumatic Structures - Filler Fluid as water instead of Air/hydrogen et cetera ? Or water as an indirect element - Response to/Integration of the 'behaviour' of water - Vertical water currents, horizontal water currents ? Posiibly not a static 'form', but one that may construct and deconstruct itself temporally over various positions within the site - Possibly like a mechanism embedded which may 'freeze' and 'de-freeze' the 'building' ? That sounds outrageously un-sustainable though !
What are the problems encountered while building on/with water ? How can that be achieved in a more structurally optimal, cost effective and aesthetic way ? A 'biomechanical' application for reference ? A study of organisms/natural formations under water for deductions ?
The context - in terms of the building typology is not imposing(?). With an urban-rejuvination-objective, a 'stimulant' building; iconic, may be imagined. However, if the site is such that it affords some secrecy by virtue of some pre-existing activities having been abandoned, a new activity that needs some amount of seclusion; something to do with governance, intelligence, military resources may be considered ? Or partially so ? Or completely not ?
