Protocell Housing Based on “Back to The Earth Evolution of Wall-E” d3 Closegap Architecture Competition : Housing Tomorrow 2012
Abstract
Ideal image of the earth is to have a thick forest, blue sky, clear water, no
pollution, is the dream of human habitation. If the image of the ideal future is destroyed
by the technology and the destruction of nature, the Earth is full of junk, unhealthy air,
the green is very little land, no life. How the human future ? Where is the future of
human ? Where is the human habitat ?
Through the film Wall-e, we can see a picture of how the future of the earth. Tells
how about 200 years, humans will live beyond the earth with all the modern equipment,
advanced, and completely automatically, but also negative effects on behavior and
human development, but that the situation is inversely proportional to the situation on
earth. In this film, people want a place to stay where they are in the midst of nature,
nature is their future. they rebuild their world, and live well together, with others, a green
environment, and other living things.
Protocell is genetically modified of Rachel Armstrong research that explores the
potential of advanced technology in architecture. The idea is to create a technology that
helps us relate to the environment so the buildings we have a positive impact on our
environment of today that they have a negative impact. genetically engineered products
manufactured protocell. when mixed with paint and exposed to CO2, will absorb and
convert it into calcium carbonal / shell lime. which serves to stop the greenhouse gas, to
repair damaged / cracked wall, and extend the life of the structure.
With Protocell, produce an answer or expectation of occupancy, occupancy that
can be connected with nature, synergy, and a positive effect, is really sustainable. As a
form of synergy between technology and nature in order to support each other, without
destroying each other, and have a positive effect on nature.
