About Out Of Sight 可持續社會建築

《眼不見》係一個為巴西里約熱內盧修士島而設計嘅社會建築項目。呢個項目用咗四十二個經過隔熱處理嘅二十呎貨櫃，組成一個620平方米嘅建築面積。啲貨櫃裏面設有一間舞蹈學校（呢間學校之前喺隔籬教堂旁邊營運），以及三間畀當地居民住嘅緊急社會房屋。設計揀咗鋼結構系統，令到成個建築輕巧、安全同快捷易建。整個設計順應現有嘅地形，並且支持大眾接觸文化同享有體面居所嘅權利。

Production Technology: In order to achieve the objective of keeping the construction light, practical, safe and environmentally friendly, it was chosen to use steel as a constructive system. Thus, in order to reduce the construction and removal time of buildings, it is seen in the container structures a way to solve the most urgent problems of the residents totaling a space built of 620m.
Design Challenge: The biggest difficulty of the project was to combine the short period of time of conception and execution, the low budget and the difficult one reaches the place. Also the motivating challenge of designing a 100% sustainable building.
Research: Their project aims to respect the limits of the existing topography, tracing the axis of the street parallel to the neighboring building, a church dating from the 18th century, within the limits of the unified lots, taking advantage, above all, of the space in which it had been the stage of small tenements belonging to the local religious. The project as a whole, together with the political local movements, warns about the need for government and society care towards the remaining population of Ilha dos Frades, especially the right to access to culture and decent housing.
Inspiration: The lack of infrastructure, dissemination and planning, make it difficult to explore its potential for ecotourism and research. As a consequence, their entire social, political and economic base is deeply damaged. It is noted that the region has a clear need for requalification of the infrastructures present in the city, which respect the environment, as already mentioned, the creation of new equipment that regains the feeling of belonging of the population that gave life to that region.
Project Duration: The project had a conception time of 6 months and aims to be executed in 4 months. It is located in the northen area of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. Specifically, on Friars Island.
Operation Flow: The project, together with the political local movements, warns about the need for government/society care towards the remaining population of Frades Island, especially the right to access to culture and decent housing. It comes as a conversation topic the importance of the ancestral preservation, through the generations of families that since the 19th century have been there, whom thanks to the project would continue to inhabit the place and mitigate, therefore, the effects of gentrification.
