Year 2020. Some intergalactic projects are continuously appearing on the news. Great engineering and technology that defines these projects don´t have the architectural qualities that match to that technology. We, as architects, must reflect on this new type of architecture: The Ingravity architecture, which asks a single question: what happens when a roof can be a ceiling and wall at the same time?I This game allows you to create a capsule that grows in the dimensions you use, 8 modules with different programs play with the use of the dimensions, the maximum encapsulation of the space, a 360 room surrounds the private rooms of the house, a cylindrical spa and the ingravity garden.
The construction of the project will be carried out on the Space Shuttle rocket. The capsules will be anchored to a mega structure forming a horizontal skyscraper built using deployable mechanisms created by NASA patents. This allows the use of space to be determined by dimensions, line, plane, or volume.
ICARUS is located in the heliosphere. Five thousand satellites orbiting the Earth but only one carries life. At this point the solar radiation that submits to a body + 120 ° C if it receives sun or at -150 ° if it gives the shade.Our new space station oscillates 16 laps in 24 hours, allowing it to have 16 days and 16 nights throughout an Earth day.
Eight modules define the Space Station. The first module corresponds to the suit a transition between the dimensions, in such a way, that in the exclusive you can only move on the x-axis, when entering the bedroom in XY, going to the third instance and 360º on a treadmill and finally the room used in any dimension with total freedom. The densified low cost module to house up to 10 people concentric. The family pack the private rooms in a nucleus and leave all the contour forming a 3an Earth day.
The construction of the modules is synthesized in a monocoque protected by 14 layers of polymers. A hexagonal frame is milled on a 20 cm sheet by countering to avoid welding. The monocoque is reinforced With three rings to avoid compressive stress. They are screwed on him the fasteners that will carry the insulation plus another sheet o The densified low cost module to house up to 10 people concentric. The family pack the private rooms in a nucleus and leave all the contour forming a 360º room.
Patents of deployable structures created will be used by NASA for the international space station and some satellites. Three main ones are defined: - the beam allows moving in a vacuum in only one direction: X - the hexagon: it allows to generate residual spaces XY - origami skin: go through the void in 360. " The geometry is formed by an array of squares that rotate 45º forming a helicoid and a ring every 90º. Abroad solar panels are anchored.
For the compaction of the structural elements the beam main acts as a telescopic screw. The blades anchor where the modules and the vertices are joined by Espandex laces forming the propellers and the skin that covers the entire structure. Finally the solar panels. That is, during construction, the structure is subjected to structural morphogenesis. The patterns to anchor the modules will only be acted upon to place the perpendicular to the zenith or nádir direction.
