An  Urban  Typology    

TRAM      

     

         

                       

The  folding  out  system  –  Inspired  by  the  ‘Fibonacci’  system  of  growth,  a  section  of  the  tram  folds  out  to  provide  a  larger  surface  area  and  growing  process  attached  to  the  movable  urban  tram  stall.  

The  Milk  tram,  a  selling  vehicle  that  will  grow  and  expand  when  each  milk  product  is  ready  to  be  sold.  Instead  of  the  modern  consumerism  state  of  mind,  with  these  produce,  the  customer  will  have  to  wait  and  come  back  when  it  is  ready.  

Above  are  lists  of  all  the  products  that  can  be  created  with  raw  and  freshly  pasteurized  milk.  Also,  a  locking  system  to  attach  each  added  section  of  tram  to  the  previous,  taken  from  agricultural  carriers.  

A  simple  hinged  folding  system  as  seen  on  some  sewing  boxes,  demonstrates  the  benefit  of  a  stacked  growing  system.  

The  actor  –  The  Milk  Seller  

CARROUSEL    

 

The  carousel  section.  A  spinning  attraction  that  draws  people  to  buy  every  week  within  the  urban  setting.  Spotted  all  over  the  city,  in  urban  squares  and  free  spaces,  the  carousel  splits  with  the  satellites  spreading  out  across  the  area  to  sell  its  self  produced  and  accumulated  goods.  On  wheels  itself,  or  cycled  by  the  stall  holder,  each  separate  section  becomes  its  own  self  sufficient  mode  of  trading.  With  the  different  layers,  growing  on  top,  storage  and  selling  in  the  middle  and  movement/mechanics  below,  it  becomes  the  ephemeral  enigma  that  the  public  is  drawn  to.  

The  pod  skylight  is  a  design  feature  regularly  employed  for  sunken  buildings  or  those  with  little  light.  Looking  at  the  carousel,  a  ‘skylight’  similar  to  this  could  be  used  to  create  the  perfect  growing  conditions  within  the  stall.  Creating  the  stack  effect  to  draw  the  hot  air  up  and  away  from  the  stored  fruit.  

A  locking  system,  often  used  to  close  big  heavy  doors,  on  for  example  lorries,  could  be  used  at  the  key  structural  connecting  points  between  the  pieces  of  carousel,  so  when  they  reconnect,  they  can  be  fastened  securely  to  allow  for  the  structure  to  spin.  

The  actor  within  this  project,  who  carries  out  the  above  actions,  is  the  urban  market  stallholder.

Labneh

Steps . 1 Purchase (or make) a quart of full-milk yogurt or soy yogurt.

Cut a 15-inch square of cheesecloth. . 3 Empty the contents of the yogurt carton on top of the

cheesecloth. . 4 Bring up the sides and tie tightly with string, leaving a length of

string to tie up so the bag will hang and drip into a bowl placed beneath the bag, OR use a jelly stand if you have

one. . 5 Place the container in the refrigerator (purists leave it out to

drip into the sink, but for bacteria/mold reasons, don't leave it out) and leave it there for 1-2 days until desired spreadable

consistency is reached. . 6 Remove from refrigerator and reserve the drained liquid

(which is called whey) when the cheese has reached the desired consistency. The solid part that is the cheese are

also called curds. . 7 Add spices and herbs to taste. Traditionalists enjoy this

cheese extremely pungent. Experiment with different mixes to find what works best for you.

8 Transfer your cheese to a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the cheese (keeps it fresher).                  

Yoghurt  

Steps . 1 Heat to 185ºF (85ºC) in a double boiler. Heat the milk to

185ºF (85ºC). Using two pots that fit inside one another, create a double boiler. This will prevent your milk from

burning, and you should only have to stir it occasionally. If you cannot do this, and must heat the milk directly, be sure to monitor it constantly, stirring all the while. If you do not have a thermometer, 185ºF (85ºC) is the temperature at

which milk starts to froth. It is highly recommended that you obtain a thermometer in the range of 100 - 212ºF - especially

if you plan to make yogurt on an ongoing basis. . 2 Add sugar and (optionally) a pinch of salt and cool to about

110ºF (43ºC). Cool the milk to 110ºF (43ºC). The best way to do this is with a cold water bath. This will quickly and

evenly lower the temperature, and requires only occasional stirring. If cooling at room temperature, or in the refrigerator, you must stir it more frequently. Don't proceed until the milk is below 120ºF (49ºC), and don't allow it to go below 90ºF

(32ºC); 110ºF (43ºC) is optimal. . 3 Warm the starter. Let the starter yogurt sit at room temperature while you're waiting for the milk to cool. This will

prevent it from being too cold when you add it in. . 4 Add nonfat dry milk, if desired. Adding about 1/4 cup to 1/2

cup nonfat dry milk at this time will increase the nutritional content of the yogurt. The yogurt will also thicken more

easily. This is especially helpful if you're using nonfat milk. . 5 Inoculate the yogurt with a little yogurt from the last

batch. Add the starter. Add 2 tablespoons of the existing yogurt, or add the freeze-dried bacteria. Stir it in or better yet,

use a blender to evenly distribute the billions of bacteria throughout the milk.

. 6 Put the mixture in containers. Pour the milk into a clean container or containers. Cover each one tightly with a lid or

plastic wrap. . 7 Incubate the yogurt for several hours. Allow the yogurt

bacteria to incubate. Keep the yogurt warm and still to encourage bacterial growth, while keeping the temperature as close to 100ºF (38ºC) as possible. An oven with a pilot

light left on is one option; see the "Tips" section for other ideas.

After seven hours, you'll have a custard-like texture, a cheesy odor, and possibly some greenish liquid on top. This is exactly what you want. The longer you let it sit beyond seven hours, the thicker and tangier it will become.

. . 8 Ready to go. Refrigerate the yogurt. Place the yogurt in

your fridge for several hours before serving. It will keep for 1 to 2 weeks. If you're going to use some of it as starter, use it

within 5 to 7 days, so that the bacteria still have growing power. Whey, a thin yellow liquid, will form on the top. You

can pour it off or stir it in before eating your yogurt. Many commercial yogurts include a thickening

agent, such as pectin, starch, gum, or gelatin. Don't be surprised or concerned if your homemade yogurt has a somewhat thinner consistency without these thickeners.

. . 9 Add optional flavorings. Add optional flavorings.

Experiment until you develop a flavor that your taste buds fancy. Canned pie filling, jams, maple syrup, and ice-cream fudges are good flavorings. For a healthier option, use fresh

fruit, with or without a small amount of sugar or honey. 10 Use yogurt from this batch as the starter for the next batch.                                

Ice Cream

Pot-Freezer Method

. 1 This is how ice cream was typically made before modern refrigeration, using ice cut from lakes and ponds. This is how

ice cream was typically made before modern refrigeration, using ice cut from lakes and ponds. Hand-cranked ice cream machines are a variation of the sorbetière (a covered pail with a handle attached to the lid) which is a

French adaptation of the pot-freezer method. . 2 Put the ice cream ingredients in a bowl. Put the ice cream

ingredients in a bowl. . 3 Put the bowl in a tub filled with ice and salt. Put the bowl in

a tub filled with ice and salt. Make sure the ice and salt mixture doesn't spill over the edges or into the bowl.

. 4 Mix the ingredients of the bowl vigorously. Mix the ingredients of the bowl vigorously. The salty ice water will absorb heat from the mixture, bringing it below the freezing point of water and turning the mixture into ice cream.[1] It's important to mix as thoroughly as you can to prevent the

formation of ice crystals. If you can, use a whisk or better yet, a hand-held mixer.

5 Enjoy your homemade ice cream.                              

    Cheese Steps

. 1 Place the two cups of milk in the saucepan with pepper, margerine, sugar and then slowly bringing the milk to a

boil while stirring constantly. It is very important to constantly stir the milk or it will burn.

. 2 Turn the burner off once the milk is boiling, but leave the saucepan on the element or gas grate.

. 3 Add 10 teaspoons vinegar to the boiling milk, at which point the milk should turn into curds and whey. Curds

are the solid part, whey is the liquid part. . 4 Stir well with spoon and let it sit on the element for 5-10

minutes. . 5 Pass the curds and whey through cheesecloth or a

handkerchief to separate the curds from the whey. The curds will be the cheese.

. 6 Drain and press the cheese using the cloth to get most of the moisture out.

. 7 Open the cloth and add a pinch of salt if desired. . 8 Mix the cheese and salt and then press again to remove

any extra moisture. . 9 Put the cheese in a mold or just leave it in a ball type

form. Leave it in ball form for putting in fresh green salads and in a mold to make sliced cheese for example.If you put it

in a mold do it fast so that the cheese will mold easier otherwise it will harden and not mold as easily.

10 Refrigerate for a while before eating.

The  Temporary  Structure….An  Ephemeral  Market    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The  architect/artists  write  in  perfect  architectspeak:  "Party  dress  combines  the  charms  of  architectural  structure  and  logic  with  the  ephemerality  and  seductive  power  of  fashion.  Based  on  a  dialogue  between  the  rigid,  precise  geometries  of  architecture  and  the  folds,  drapes  and  softly  molded  forms  of  fashion,  the  dress  is  designed  as  a  holistic  system  of  points  and  folds.  "

Supported  by  a  single  cantilever,  this  mysterious  levitating  farm  house  belongs  in  a  sci-­‐fi  flick.  It’s  claimed  to  be  an  old  bunker  for  

the  overload  of  mineral  fertilizers  but  we’re  sure  there’s  a  better  back  story  .  .  .  alien  architects  probably  had  a  hand  in  it.

These  wooden  spheres  can  be  hung  from  any  solid  surface  (tree,  cliff,  bridge,  etc.)  and  are  accessed  by  a  spiral  stairway  or  a  short  

suspension  bridge.  A  web  of  rope  grasps  onto  a  strong  point,  essentially  replacing  the  foundation  of  a  conventional  building.  

You  can  anchor  points  on  the  top  and  bottom  to  prevent  swinging  or  just  let  it  loose  and  enjoy  the  ride.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Girasole, by konyk Small architecture...ingenious!!!

Our  friends  over  at  konyk  (Brooklyn  based  practice)  shared  with  us  their  entry  for  the  Andes  Sprouts  Society  residency  studio  competition,  a  project  named  Girasole.  

Gathering  all  of  its  energy  from  the  sun,  GIRASOLE  is  a  single  room  studio  that  is  autonomous,  movable  and  flexible.  Its  independence  allows  it  to  function  completely  off  the  local  utility  grid.  By  manipulating  the  surface  area  for  maximum  solar  exposure  and  utilizing  thin  battery  packs  embedded  in  its  chassis,  GIRASOLE  converts  the  sun  into  AC  current  to  heat  and  electrify  the  studio.  Like  Thomas  Alva  Edison's  1893  Black  Maria,  GIRASOLE  is  formed  by  the  function  of  sunlight,  and  follows  it  across  the  landscape.

The  site  of  the  road  stop  is  a  paradox.  Oftentimes,  the  hardest  winds  blow  off  the  sea,  and  yet  the  most  attractive  view  is  toward  the  fjord.  The  obvious  response  in  order  to  shield  tourists  from  the  wind  would  be  to  construct  a  view-­‐blocking  wall.  Instead  three  "bench-­‐boxes"  prefabricated  at  a  local  wharf  dot  the  area,  and  their  differing  orientations  allow  visitors  to  choose  where  to  sit  according  to  wind  and  sun  conditions.
