THE WEATHER STATION PROJECT – II


Milan, Italy

This project, entitled the ‘Weather Station Project’, was commissioned for an international exhibit on design and energy.

By enlarging the scope of the brief, our project investigates the implications and connections of architecture, weather and energy and focuses on systems, functions and relationships. We believe in a responsible architecture that is able to stimulate a diversified and reactive response to energy consumption, but beyond that, in the possibility of an architecture to generate energy in the same way that energy is generated by the weather.

This second phase of the Weather Station project investigates the relationships between energy production, landscapes, and food. In the cycle of the production  of energy and food, investigations were made to reduced the distance and relationship between the various functions and elements in the production chain.

Sun, wind, plants, water and weather systems become architectural elements and question current norms of architectural elements, space, typology and function with an ultimate goal to steer our current production of Architecture and Interiors towards  more healthy, balanced environments.
