As part of a project, Andrew Emmet has designed a plan for a radically sustainable social forum while keeping the environmentally friendly approach in view. The proposal includes the construction of TOPOS,
which is a forum that serves as a private studio, an event park and a
co-working office area. Planned to be constructed in Montecito Heights,
Los Angeles, TOPOS reflects to be a blend of traditional construction
practices and contemporary ecological and aesthetic aspects. This
building is designed to programmatically act as a steward to the local
ecosystem. It saves its surrounding by strictly remaining dependent on
the site-specific materials for its construction.
This social forum hosts events to cover the administrative and
maintenance costs for free public workspace. It also earns from the
running of private studios. Thus, it is a self-reinforcing system that
is anti-corporate and democratically supports economic opportunities
while allowing people to flourish in their diversifying careers. This
kind of a system is designed to support collaborative entrepreneurial
efforts. TOPOS forum together nourishes both the social and the climatic
context. Entirely made of native grass straws, the forum building
connects to the community on one side and to the Arroyo Seco and
Pasadena highway on the other.
The building's roof is made of dry vegetation, and its voids and curves
help deal with the high wind pressure, as well as the exceeding flow of
water. There are columns created in the building's interiors that look
engrossed in the wooden surrounding. These columns are shaped to reflect
an interlocked geometrical design. TOPOS building carries a unique and innovative style. This whole project holds future possibilities of a large-scale sustainable design.
This is a green attempt at creating a forum for people who wish to
collaborate on their special work efforts and thus grow together.
