Project summary
In today's urban condition collaboration is a necessity to enrich life. To collaborate, people need to be in contact with other people, be able to know what others do and create synergies. William Whyte, in his street life project, revealed that when a "stimulus" is located, a group of people gather together forming a triangle. This way of behavior called triangulation effect, enhances the interaction between people making strangers act as if they were not.
A community developing the feeling of a family tribe strengthens cooperation. In a tribe, people collaborate as a group to take more advantage of the condition they live in. Their itinerant way of living demands from them the most attention on their natural resources which are used as the raw material that enabled their eating, dressing and dwelling. The temporary dwelling, the teepee, allowed clans to move around together when the necessity of new resources arose.
This proposal acknowledges triangulation effect and the essence of the tribe dwelling to intensify the innovative forces of cities. The T-P proposal considers the teepee as a generator of space, in a knowledge society, and reduces it to its essence, designing with the triangle as the starting point of new spatial configurations. The triangle in plan enhances people integration and in section acts as irreducible, stable and inspirational. As in the tribe the recycling of resources is considered. Cities of today consume resources in an indiscriminately way. As a consequence, huge amounts of waste are generated, taking decades to decompose. In New York City 24% of waste is made of plastic bottles, decomposing after 100 years. The T-P is aware of this resource's life cycle and going through its process our proposal is made from recycled plastic.
New York City's urban fabric is the venue where these interactions will happen.
