The goal of the Natatorium designed for Christie Pitts Park was to have a public building that disappeared into the park yet was visually stunning. The project was therefore explained in a series of models and

renderings.

WHY RED?We propose a red bridge. Red is a colour seen by humans but not seen by many mammals, including our target species, who instead perceive a grayish tone when looking at a red object. A red bridge has the striking potential to become an important icon in the Colorado landscape. It alludes too in form and color to the reddish iron ores that cover the surface of many hills in the state, including Red Hills. The color red is evocative, symbolic, and emotional. A red wildlife crossing will be relevant to the people that drive by, help them to feel more connected with the surroundings, and spark their curiosity. It will be a recognizable landmark, set hovering above the road against the layered folds of Vail Pass, reminding us that we do not walk alone, that we share the landscape with other living

beings.

Venezia Oct, 2050

“The continued heating of the atmosphere had begun to melt the polar ice-caps. The entrained ice-seas

of the Antarctic plateau broke and dissolved,[…]The Mediterranean contracted into a system of inland lakes, the British Isles was linked again with northern France.

The Middle West of the United States, filled by the Mississippi as it drained the Rocky Mountains, became

an enormous gulf opening into the Hudson Bay, while the Caribbean Sea was transformed into a desert of silt

and salt flats. Europe became a system of giant lagoons, centred on the principal low-lying cities, inundated by the

silt carried southwards by the expanding rivers.”(Ballard, James Graham, The drowned world, Berkley Publishing Corp., New

York (NY) 1962, p. 26)

In 2050, the human body and algae reveal themselves to be the last unexplored resource for energy. Extending their reach like a network of energy, redefining the minimal measurement through architecture across a new synthesis between the artificial and natural...

Each individual will store the surplus of energy produced by his or her body in a liquid network where luminous algae will distribute energy as well as purify air of excess CO2.Rivers and artificial canals will form new landscapes infiltrating territories with a form of free energy.

March 8, 1669:

Mount Etna rumbles. Diego de Pappalardo a resident of Catania city leads fifty men up Europe’s largest and most active volcano wearing cowhide soaked in water, with iron rods, picks and shovels to divert the oncoming lava. Pappalardo’s brave efforts succeed; ... Mount Etna continuedto erupt for twenty days and eventually oncoming lava destroyed 14 villages and towns, swallowed parts of Catania, left 20,000 people homeless and killed 17,000 people...¹_

Resistance

The notion of resisting the forces of nature is at the core of lava mitigation, perhaps we should look to how to make our landscapes embrace these types of catastrophes.

62

un-PredictabilityToday with the help of modern sciences volcanic activity is somewhat more predictable yet always remains an impossibility to specify exactly when or for how long eruptions may occur. These forecasts performed by highly talented teams of scientists like the IINGV ( Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulconologia) help prepare settlements on

and around the volcano for the worst case scenario.

previous/composite map composed from INGV data and topographic material

65

This realization calls for new methods of defensive systems in hazardous volcanic zones...

I propose the concept of ‘Least Resistance’Methods which do not try to resist the next eruption, or out-engineer the forces of nature. Instead invent methods which may embrace the next catastrophe... which may provide a new vocabulary for the study of landscape and the built form in vulnerable volcanic zones.

farming + harvesting lavaPreparing the landscape with pockets of earth which will anticipate lava would help agriculturers with an altermnative harvest. A slow landscape such as this would offer farmers an insurance and free natural resource that could be re-distributed or used on-site.

the arrival of lava fills the landscape pockets - cooks earth below

lava from moulds are removed - cooked earth can be removed and sold to local as well as international markets

once resources are extracted / stored/ sold , landscape can be cleared and process can be repated again.
