#cube152 of #alterednature is “The Spiral Chimney” 🌀 “The sky-high chimneys of an abandoned industrial landscape are reimagined as dwellings for former workers. As fierce winds rattle across the landscape, the chimney tops provide shelter and at moments of calm the workers are able to observe their repurposed, shared landscape from above.” 🌀 BY EMMA COLTHURST @emcolthurst @bartlettarchucl #volume64season3
#cube151 has a letter behind its story - here’s an excerpt: ✉️ "This letter is to inform you that you are terminated from your employment with Ehringsdorfer Travertin as of 01.07.2018. As you know, we have been experimenting with robotic technology in our production chain. Since we are very happy with the outcome of our testing, we are confident that we are able to replace our human workforce with these new production methods. We will be no longer in need of human resources as of next month. However (...)" ✉️ BY Jakob Walter // read the full text online (see bio) #volume64season3
#cube150 is the Quarry Home - the author’s contextual reply to her brief #AlteredNature: 🏠 “As the pinnacle of our species domination on earth, once man decides it is no longer economically profitable exploiting quarries, they are shamelessly left for dead, like open wounds we disgustingly avoid looking at.
 On the other hand, the increasing need to develop our cities generates the massive clearing of untouched lands. 
Today, you can build your home without clearing more natural lands!
Let nature be nature. Your Home, is Quarry Home.” 🏗 BY KIMBERLEY BERNEY (also the brief’s author) @epflstudents #volume64season3
London’s abandoned rails are up for inhabitation in #cube149: 🚊 🏠 “As a need for housing in central London increases and available land is scarce, the railways have been forced to give up even the thinnest plots between the rails. The house builders lay their foundations between the tracks and build arches up above the railways. Streets form above the rails and cyclists rule this new landscape. “ 🏠 🚊 BY LUKE REVELEY @lr.stgm @bartlettarchucl #volume64season3
#cube148 explores the collision of raw materials and Olympiads in “marble diving”: ◽️◽️ Much like the quarries abandoned when no more ressources can be found, Olympic venues are often left deserted once the 16 day sport-binge has gone by. The multi-billion dollar investment is too big of a burden for the hosting city to maintain and thereby most state-of-the-art facilities are left forgotten. What if we could use the ruins of industrialized landscapes to host events such as the Olympic games ? ◽️◽️ BY SAMUEL JACCARD @epflstudents #volume64season3
