Bioport is a new definition of landscape that integrates and redescribe the functions of infrastructure within its logics. Machine learning processes and digital simulations are creating a new language of architecture.
The project breaks down long-established rigid aviation systems by making visible a new layer of mobility in form of new technologies. A new social shift of principle, away from nowadays extreme mass consumption, served-up, by low-cost airlines. Towards a new sustainable, ecological, and regional layer of air travel. With the powerful help of artificial and biological intelligence in a digital age.
The Bioport should produce and consume all its energy requirements itself. Renewable energies and biofuels play a major role in this.
The photosynthetic tubes operate not only on the roof structure, but also on the water surface. The coiled tubing structure extends as far as desired into the Targus River, making use of the otherwise unused wetlands. The water temperature of the estuary also regulates the temperature in the hoses. Their controllability allows the flexible robots to manoeuvre into water zones that are ideal for the growth process. Conventional flight operations are questioned and an alternative, modular, efficient solution is offered that deals with both passenger and goods traffic.
