Nomadic:Pneumatic - Buildings that moves : An atlas of nomadic devices as a new cultural institution to mobilize culture.

Rudolph, Rebecca January 2021 (has links)
My research proposal intends to investigate deployable structures by studying nomadic systems, to be able to create lightweight structures. This is done by studying the local nomadic knowledge, combined with unconventional and experimental techniques from pneumatic, mobile, and tensile structural innovation, enabling a small or no footprint in the fragile context.   My point of departure is the conception of buildings that move while distributing culture fast and democratic, taking into account layers of social, cultural, and environmental necessities. Through this research, I aim to find organizational, conceptual tools and models for regenerating cultural environment, to create an autonomous building system, aware of the complexities of the global pandemic and the crisis of cultural institutions.   Informed by local, vernacular techniques, structural and environmental, secrets are revealed and translated into new flexible components and cultural and educational programs, while pointing at the importance of local techniques and material choices.    Based on theories and techniques borrowed from the fields of nomadic, pneumatic, and deployable systems, this research resulted in a system of mobile structures that deploy culture and democratically empower communities, anchored in its immediate cultural and social context, and responding to new, wide expressions of cultural exchange.
