TIMBER IN THE CITY

Human flow is a source of natural heat. This flow will eventually turn into fire. Many types other than the human flow in our concept are taken into consideration, such as wind and transport flow. The effects of the pedestrians in our project have a huge impact, by dividing the site into certain functions and spaces, and shaping the volume in that site also. As the fire (pedestrians) strikes the surface of our shape, the flow typically splits as it flows over and around the shape. This results in creating negative spaces, left after the fire traces. Depending on the human fire flow, these flow phenomenas cause the shape not only to be eroded on the 2D plan but also in a three dimensional way. This results a readable fluid shape. When the fire (pedestrian flow) penetrates the shape, it starts creating spaces; some are exposed entirely to the exterior such as the public market, other are semi-private spaces connected with both exterior and interior (museum) and private spaces that have visual relation with the exterior (residential).
