Descripción del proyecto
Revolucionar la vida ecológica en el espacio urbano
La dicotomía hombre-naturaleza impuesta por la intensa urbanización contemporánea es un factor crucial para la disminución de la habitabilidad y el bienestar humano en las ciudades. Con el objetivo de mejorar de forma drástica la interacción entre el hombre y la naturaleza en el entorno urbano, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos ECOLOPES introducirá un enfoque ecosistémico integrado radicalmente nuevo en la arquitectura que se centra por igual en los seres humanos, las plantas, los animales y los organismos asociados. El proyecto se centrará en proporcionar las tecnologías básicas necesarias para transformar la envolvente del edificio en una envolvente ecológica, un espacio vital para múltiples especies para los tipos de habitantes mencionados. ECOLOPES aspira a contribuir al desarrollo de una ontología de modelos de información y de una infraestructura de modelado y simulación por ordenador que revolucionará el diseño futuro.
Objetivo
Urbanisation constitutes a major environmental issue of the 21st century. Within cities, densification, the decrease of green open spaces, and a continued reliance on grey infrastructures result in increasing separation of people from nature and decrease access to ecosystem services. This decreases the liveability of cities and reduces human well-being. Current approaches fall short in providing breakthrough solutions, because they perpetuate the human-nature dichotomy due to anthropocentric design. We propose a radical change for city development: instead of minimizing the negative impact of urbanisation on nature, we aim at urbanisation to be planned and designed such that nature – including humans - can co-evolve within the city. This vision requires a radically new integrated ecosystem approach to architecture that focuses equally on humans, plants, animals, and associated organisms such as microbiota. In ECOLOPES, we propose to develop the technology that will allow to achieve this vision. We will focus on the envelope, the building enclosure. In ECOLOPES, we transform the envelope into an ecolope, a multi-species living space for four types of inhabitants, humans, plants, animals, and microbiota. ECOLOPES will develop the core technologies for designing ecolopes in a systematic way, considering the needs of all habitants. ECOLOPES will make biological knowledge available for the architectural design process, to find architectural solutions that enable synergies and limit conflicts between the inhabitants. The ecolopes designed by this multi-species approach will restore the beneficial human - nature relationships in cities. Key products of ECOLOPES are: (1) ECOLOPES Information Model Ontology that integrates ecological and architectural knowledge, data and models into a data-integrated design recommendation system; (2) ECOLOPES Computational modelling and simulation environment, that is based on the EIM Ontology, to make knowledge available for design.
