Lima .G

SCALE 1: LIMA SIMULATION – METROPOLITAN MODEL

Gravitational model of Lima.  Urban conditional configuration by the dinamics of its centers.

LIMA CITY. grows, shapes  and adapts itself according to the multiple interactions that guide its growth. It is a living organism whose process of growth and adjustment has been guided by diverse circumstances and times, events and endings; its an amorphous, deformable, folding, transformable and stimulable mass. From the multiple interactions of each inhabitant, each neighborhood  all the way to the whole megapolis emerge situations that form the city, that have been forming Lima. These situations are created all the time, in a stimuli-response process, such as the assembling of large crowds, the informal kiosks marketplaces, the street meal sellers, the killer combis (transportation system), the mass media, etc.

SCALE 2: LETICIA SIMULATION– BARRIAL MODEL
Gravitacional model of Leticia. Urban configuration separated from the most power concentration in the lower levels.
The first interaction creates an equitable distribution. The first elements gain mass through time.
The new elements with less energy start to pouring off – organizing and reconstruct itself- to the distant centers of gravity layers.

Leticia is a self-organized system, a complex reality, an endless voragine of juxtaposed textures, a miscellany of spaces and times that does not give a place to regularity or to the deliberate simplification, its a living organism that transforms irreversibly everything that touches in connected and related integrities, giving place to other inextricable, chaotic forms, which represents the 80% of Lima city.

Hatun Inca .G

SCALE 3: HATUN INCA SIMULATION – SECTOR MODEL
Gravitacional model of the flea market designed by retailers in fuction to the external influences.
Today´s structure allows a malleability which is flexible against outer agents, fitting the market according to the social moment, adapting it gravitationally to the shocks of forces.

The Plug –in in complex environments is to produce a self-organizational reaction, that will modify the original patterns to initiate the regeneration process and the consequent benefit for inhabitants.

The Plug-in goes beyond the physical design, it is to design the dynamics, more that to look for a final state of the process, it is to generate processes, accompanying constantly the chaotic development of the city. The idea is not to look for the simplification of reality using a conventional analysis of variables, it promotes the "interaction" of the particles - such as settlers, communal organizations, towns, etc. - in order that they can self-generate their own modelling mechanisms.

FACE OF GOD .G

SCALE 4: FACE OF GOD SIMULATION – LOCAL MODEL

Gravitational model of ambulatory commerce.

SCALE 5: CUSTOM SIMULATION – ARCHITECTURAL MODEL
Gravitational model of flexible habitat to the emotional condition. Psychological configuration. The personalized module of the CUSTOM house allows the user to interact freely with its architecture. The human being turns into the modeller of its own interior space, having an impact in the exterior environment.

The module ideology comes from the concept of the typical slum housing, designed based on the primary needs of the man (physiological, nourishing  and social). It considers the human being as an emotional entity,a social being, with real and imaginary problems.
