Running Out Of Gas On The Fast Lane
Repurpose of abandoned drilling rigs in the North Sea (in 20-50 years)
Humans are facing the dangerous consequences of the climate change. Especially the population of the Netherlands, which has to face rising sea levels. An undesired, nor not impossible scenario, would be the loss of livable land due to flooding. The loss of building and living area would result in drastic changes to the means of life. On the one hand, we need to research possibilities to slow down the process, and also change our way of life. However, on the other hand, we must look for concepts and design proposals to support a lifestyle with radical climate changes.
Our society, human behavior, and cities are changing due to the exponential progress of technology. How are we going to live in a future, and which role will architecture play in an augmented world? It might emerge as a balancing act between utopia and dystopia, between the total dependency and repression of the machines and the freedom to achieve more than we ever imagined. Society’s addiction to technical devices emphasizes the urgency at hand to begin to work with new technologies instead of denying the process categorically.

Recipe (Components)
Modification of the recipe will cause:
- different curing times (hours to minutes)
- variation in pot life (hour to minutes)
- change in viscosity (fluent to stable)

V. Silicone 3D Printing
Reference
ACEO® 3D Printing
Proposal
Large scale 3D printing of silicone on double curved surfaces
Basic steps 3D printing siliocne on double curved membrane (single layer // multi layers w/ different directions)
Advanced steps + modifications to a responsive skin (different silicone types // embedded plastic structure // embedded sub structures // embedded artificial muscles // combination)
Initial Experiments
3D print of silicone on double curved surface // 3D print of silicone on elastic double curved fabric
VI. Combination Wood (TBC)
Inspiration
Microscopic exposures of cells and molecular biology @ Cell
