abstract

  • Borboletta is a research project on the integration between microbiology, biodiversity, and architecture aimed at the construction of a new urban paradigm intended as an ecosystem rather than an artifice. Borboletta is a sonic installation with living organisms developed for the group exhibition FEEDback at the XVII Bienal Internacional de Arquitectura de Buenos Aires, curated by Eric Goldemberg. In Borboletta the interest in the field of climate sensitive design becomes an instrument to discuss the urban fabric and its relationship with the troposphere in order to transform the cities in virtuous open systems reacting to the climate change. Moreover, a radical spatial re-configuration of the built environment based on the Borboletta prototype can offer opportunities for the positive development/transformation of the current energy intensive metabolism into biomass power generation as well as for the conceptualization of a revolutionary biodiversity design. Periodic systems show a continuously repeated change from one set of conditions to another, opposite Borboletta details. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, William Carpenter, Arief Setiawan and Christopher Welty; individual chapters, the contributors.
