Enclosed, infinite, resilient architecture, inner courtyard, flood plain
The project is inspired by the concept of enclosure, designed as a boundary between the interior and exterior, between inside and outside, between a chaotic city and an inner, sheltered courtyard. The system behind the layout of the village is inspired by a fractal formula, the Cantor function (Georg Cantor 1845-1918), which represents an example of a continuous function that grows to infinity. It is a system of expansion which, although unlimited, does not proceed in a linear fashion. On the contrary, it develops on the basis of centrality and takes the name of "Cantor dust" . Applied to architecture, the mathematical principle highlights an unlimited expansion of the city, at the same time retaining the architectural element of the courtyard.
