Architectural
(e)co proposes a new
way to understand dwelling as the outcome of interrelated and balanced
components and the equilibrium between intermediated passive spaces and high
performance spaces. (e)co operates as a “box in box” where each layer has its
own characteristics and requirements. On the one hand the outer skin has to be
a primary optimized element able to cope with external agents. On the other
hand the inner skin is protected from the agents. However it has to solve high
standards of comfort and low environmental impact.
Outer Skin
The first skin
(Industrialized, technical Cycle) aims to solve basic environment relation
phenomena. This is achieved using industrialized systems based on agricultural
greenhouses. In order to occupy the maximum volume allowed with a lower cost,
we chose a standard greenhouse system already existing in the market.
Inner Skin
The second building
skin (Organic Cycle) defines the maximum comfort and quality spaces. Its
blueprint represents the minimal area allowed by the competition rules
regarding acclimatized spaces: 45m2
