WHY BUILDINGS SHOULD FLY APPLICATION VECTORWORKS/ PHOTOSHP/INDESIGN/CINEMA 4D/ RHINO

In the antiques music and architecture had a strong connection with each other. Architects had to play instruments and architecture was built to the rythm of music. Every century set different rules how to build architecture. By setting those rules we helped to develope and change our society. So what will the future be like? Woudn’t it be nice to decide for ourselves our view on the planet. To decide where to interact or not. We could change our point of view and broaden our horizon. At least I would like a place that could change like me and give me space to develop.

But everyone else also has an individual space. So if we want to go from one place to another we have to go over the other individual spaces. That means the other spaces are obsticles we have to overcome.

We all have an individual space.

So we actually divide the space vertically.

But what will happen if we take a new line and we divide the space horizontally instead? Saying private is above and public is the ground. So we make a parallel world.

Through that the earth would be a total interaction zone and we would clearly show if we want to be left alone or interact.

WHY BUILDINGS SHOULD FLY

HOW THIS BUILDING CAN FLY

1. The PV- textile is producnng the energy for heating up the balloon and also energy needed for cooking.It covers the whole balloon and keeps the parts together like a skin

2. The balloon is powered by hot air. In the balloon it is a constant tempreture of 90-110°C which is produced by the sun wich shines on the balloon and the energy wich the PV-textile produces.

The balloon is powered by hot air and therefor not depending on gases which are needed to be produced with high costs and also are ending resources.

3. Last part is the light structure. It is made out of ecological polystyren and carbon fiber. It should be a no weight structure. Also to shrink the balloon size, the polysteren could be mixed up with hellium instad of air.A house of 950 kg needs a balloon of 3000 m3. If the constrution ways less than 400 kg the balloon size would be 700 m3!

...which is above groundlevel. The tubes open into an underground foyer. The hall is cone-shaped with a radius of 100 meters and a height of 25 meters. The tip of the cone forms a tube with 5 meters in diameter. Here is the entrance and the starting part of the „Mobile border“. An escalator connects the hall to the entrance above ground level. All immigrants get a number immediately after their arrival in the hall, which tells them their arrival number. Then they have to wait in the hall until their number appears on the escalator. When that happens, the immigration process can begin and the transformation from immigrant to a citizen of Europe starts. From now on the immigrant is unseen by the citizens of Europe, on its transformation journey. Arrived in the abovegroundlevel part of the „Mobile border“, in a 5-meter wide pipe, the immigrant joins the queue of immigrants who have been already waiting in front of him. There, the foreigners are all after each other tested to be integrated or to determine whether they are capable of integration or not. So if you come out on the other side of the tube, you have completed

the transformation to the citizens. The tests are hard and because many people are queuing, the tube gets longer and longer. The tunnel provides room for waiting places on the side, if you have to take a number at a station and individually tested. At such a station is a junction, which can return you to an earlier station, if you do not pass the examination. Also on particularly difficult examination station are bumps in the pipe. Here immigrants can stay or eat. This sleeping possibilities are not large and have barely enough room for everyone. The movements and sounds, which are caused by the „Mobile border“

make their lives in the belly of this snake not easy. Ist not easy eather to get a hold of learning materials for the exams. You get better learning materials, if better results are obtained in the tests. The snake is an increasingly, complex structure that runs through the sky. The more immigrants move forward in the snake, the better are their lives in the line. The snake is wider and more comfortable. The immigrants have more space here. They get better food and better clothes. In the now with 7 meter diameter, large pipe immigrants are tested in European history and geography. But they can be ranked by poor test results back and have to go back again. Further ahead, in a wider part of the snake their manners are tested and adapted to the customs and manners of European standards. You need not only knowledge, but also the manners of a European. If the immigrant also mastered this part, a lock leads him into a well-equipped and modern area of the snake. Here they can watch the hustle of all the major cities on screens, these screens also run regular advertisements. Here they are tested in languages, fashion, brands and observation the people

in Europe. Even further ahead in the queue, the „Examiners“ are liveing. They are also immigrants, but they are allready adapted to European cultur and are fluent in all

the languages of Europe. Now they spend their time with studying a profession and examinating the new arrivals. There part is wider and offers more comfort. With 9 meters in diameter they live luxuriously. From a junction they can go back to the individual testing stations. The „Examiners“ are far outnumbered by the other immigrants. Who is a „Examiner“ and has brought it already that far in line, has high reputation. In general also the behavior opposite the „Examiner“ is rated. An „Examiner“ call himselves proudly „Examiner“. Furthermore, the immigrants are observed in the anterior

Everyone who really has the goal to immigrate to Europe, can do this with the help of the „Mobile border“. It has its starting point in the center of Europe. In Brussels. In all the neighboring countries is an underground entrance, leading directly to Brussels. Here the immigrants are lined up to come to Europe. They travelle through an underground tube system to Brussels, where all the pipes join together. Here is not only the exit of the underground tunnelsysthems, but at the same time the entrence to the „Mobile border“...

always builds itself further on its own...“

part of the queue from companies. Companies can select individual immigrants, in which they see potential and can sponsor them. The sponsors are watching the skills of the immigrants and give them the opportunity for better food, better examination results or permits to the next station. Each immigrant is of course trying to get a sponsor, and tries to excel the other immigrants through manners and examination results. A sponsor may significantly shorten one‘s life in line and allow a good job with high earnings in Europe. The immigrant could already receive specialist training in line. But a sponsor can drop one very quickly if he discovers a immigrant with more potential. At the head of the snake is the council of the „Almost citizens“ located. They decide by democratic vote, where to move the snake and who is going to be a citizen of them. Here is a round table, which has 28 seats. When one has completed the transformation from an „Almost citizen“ to a citizen, then a „Examiner“ gets promoted to a „Almost citizens“ and joins them. They have all the knowledge that they need to migrate to Europe and live a stable life there. By a simple vote they determine who is the lucky one who may call himselfe „European“. As an elected representative of the snake he must now decide where they want to go. The „Almost citizens“ living in a large sphere of 15 meters in diameter. Their apartments are arranged around the table. Only the head end is open, here is a movable ramp, from which the soon to be citizen will descend. The snake winds itself through the air. Pillars support the long, fragile body. So, this confusing line streches across Europe. The snake always builds itself further on its own. It always docks its support at the borders and embassies in Europe. The „Mobile border“ is a transformation of space, just as the borders of Europe. Europe‘s borders are also Nomhansland. If someone want to cheat in the queue, he is sent back to his country and may no longer have the right to use the „Mobile border“. Since more and more immigrants want to go to Europe, the snake gets longer and longer and more complex. The tests are harder and the test results must be better. Immigrants are under pressure to perform good and not stand still in the queue. Some are circulating long in one section. There hope to come to Europe is getting less. One immigrant

can proceed quickly forward in the queue and another will never manage to be a „Almost citizens“. The living conditions close to the entrance in Brussels are rough, nobody wants to stay longer than necessary. The crowd of people makes it rough. The food supply here is bad too. The food is founded by donations from Europe. Immigrants in the queue can always return to their home country if they do not withstand the pressure. The opportunity to return always exists, no one forces them to be here. The „Mobile border“ is a place where one is voluntary. If one changes his mind, he can always return to his previous country. But some people try to escape illegaly. They try to go through the ventilation slots on the outer walls of the snake to get outside, some people do it, but most are caught and expelled. Immigrants provide by themselves right and order in the queue. The illegal immigrants destroy their reputation. The waste of the snake is transported directly to the home countries of the immigrants. There is no harm to Europe.

From the perspective of the Europeans, the structure seems strange. They see how the snake moves through the air. They can also see the flood of immigrants who wants to come to Europe. The structure frightens them. The snake is building at a rapid pace. They know, in this snake are tons of people who want to go to Europe. The windows of the snake are at the top and can not be viewed. For the Europeans, the immigrants are a mystery. But they know that immigrants who become citizens, are integrated and bring real benefit to the economy. The citizens are aware that the snake keeps the immigrants in chess, and they feel secure that the system works. They are glad that there is the „Mobile border“. So people only see the „Mobile border“. They do not know what nation the immigrants belong to. Al the immigrants are the same. Only fully-fledged citizen of Europe can be accepted. Only when an immigrant has fully completed the transformation, he steps out of line. Then he is no immigrant anymore, but a free citizen of Europe. Welcome!

and they feel secure that the system works...“
