Definición del Proyecto
The semi-spherical, cambered building that I present below, incorporates as its main element a continuous, slightly sloping, ascending helicoidal gallery, through whose interior speeds of different signs and ranges run, associated with the museum activity, such as the group of visitors on foot, the museum staff, and even located in the lower part of the complex, this ramp or worm houses a garage for the parking of wheeled vehicles, together with the vertical communication elements (which include vertical batteries of lifts, hoists, elevators and a group of robotic stairs), making both communication elements (semi-horizontal and vertical) the two elementary or primordial architectural components of the project.
It is a double spiral, with a variable, ameboid section, which represents and houses a single dynamic arterial beam, with access and exit, with beginning and end, with origin and goal, whose length or development thus houses the entire museum programme, on a surface, as I have said, arranged in a radial and concentric manner.
Under this arrangement, the whole is obliged and subjected to operate by means of mechanisms and regulatory gears of its own activity, in accordance with the activity of the museum's infrastructure. It has to function with strict accuracy, under the dimension of time, like an atomic clock.
This is why, on observing the circular geometry of its plan projection, we can begin by distinguishing in it (and below ground level) a tubular connecting structure that serves as access to and evacuation from the garage, situated, as we indicated earlier, in the basement of the building, the geometric place where the ramp starts, thus giving rise to the development of a route in the form of a double functional spiral, unfolding in different slopes in the manner of a fluid until it connects us with the upper part of the building, where, curiously, the main entrance to the sky dome is situated.
This pedestrian access is via a daring and inclined cylindrical glass tube, which emanates from the interior of an aquatic pool (like a decompressing worm), with an elliptical section, and which incorporates a set of escalators, arranged in series, which catapult us into the interior of the spheroid of revolution.
Once inside, the only thing to enjoy is the visual stroll and the sensorial approach to the works of art, located in different sections and collections on the descending route of the double helicoidal ramp. Once we reach the lowest level of the museum, we find ourselves literally surrounded by parked vehicles, a geometric place that houses a large auditorium for various Dantesque spectacles. Once we reach the circular amphitheatre, the only thing left to do is to leave the cultural installation through an exit tunnel in the form of an existential Platonic cavern carved out of rock.
The "ALPHABETA - A1" mission emerged once a certain critical mass was reached in the bowels of the human mind, such a pathological cosmic delirium, as an alternative to the existing real world where the collective consciousness rules and dominates.
A bold vision that finds its foundation in the megalomaniacal idea of imagining those architectural projects made up of certain "bastard buildings", which were initially conceived and designed on Earth and for Earth, and which were nevertheless not valued or recognised on Earth, being arranged on the Earth's satellite in the future.
An ambitious objective that consists of strategically scattering a collection of disparate prototypes of similar habitable structures (condemned and forgotten) over the different craters on the lunar surface, placing them specifically on its hidden face, thus configuring a kind of desert of lost souls.
The "AUREBESH - A2" mission is envisioned to be configured within the huge and gigantic network of interplanetary networks in our cosmos, being conceived in order to guarantee space connections of the highest rank known so far.
While still in the development phase, such urban outposts are envisioned as high-density traffic intersection points that, in time, we will find in the galaxies, located on different planetary trajectories as Orbital Space Interchanges.
An intervention or action for urban and paranormal planning, on the scale of the universe, conceived and designed with wild competence, even spontaneously developed, become the essence of the cities of tomorrow: new, modern, advanced and sophisticated structures within the astro-field, with the capacity for navigation and autonomous movement, magnetic propulsion, self-regulating, in which UFOs, space ships and space shuttles converge to refuel.
All this with the purpose of projecting colourful points of high density, ready to house any "entity" or "specimen", wherever it comes from, even of an unknown nature. In short, ghost cities, stationary cities of everyone and no one, arranged under hypothetical coordinates on astral pilgrimage routes.
With these original prototypical prototypical travelling functional artefacts, the world of architecture takes a quantum step forward, engendering and generating a new concept or idea of urbanism beyond the terrestrial scale, of infinite dimensions, the so-called Galactic Urbanism: the colossal idea, never better said, of situating in orbit various models of City-Station-Space, spread and/or disseminated throughout the stellar dome or firmament.
The ''ALPHABETA - B1'' mission portends a possibility that will be surprising in its absoluteness. A priori dismissed as remote, it has the credibility required to be consummated. Such an event will undoubtedly cause enormous perplexity among a world population, today squeezed and congested.
This second inventive and innovative phase involves the projection of a group of six artificial dens, inserted, on this occasion, on the terrestrial fabric.
Constructions designed with the purpose of welcoming the first extraterrestrial clans or tribes that will visit our planet in the future, understood as secret bases where to place specimens as unknown as peculiar strangers and pioneering galactic intruders.
Artificial structures, (in principles of strange appearance), based on ideas that show their origin beyond the conceived limits, as invasive architectures developed outside their natural habitats.
Bunkers can range from simple pieces or segments of higher structures, used as shells, caves, chasms and caverns, to complex, technologically advanced facilities, which will often be inhabited, including by certain superheroes, supervillains, thieves and bandits, or as hideouts in post-apocalyptic, earthly scenarios.
Singular fragments of constructions from other parts of the cosmos, as yet unknown and for the moment undetermined, destined to enter into activity and service in order to remedy visible negative aspects that Mother Earth currently presents: a primary function consists of implanting a programme, introduced surreptitiously on the Earth's surface, which affects its functional structures, totally or partially destroying contaminated tissues and diseased constructions, eliminating them at the root, preventing the spread of further infection, an action that maintains a healing and reparative attitude.
Urban antidotes, in the form of anti-viruses, which aim to detect, in order to dismantle, the toxic and infectious fabric that appears in certain harmful models of current colonisation.
As these fascinating and sophisticated shelters take shape (coming to life and even becoming conscious of themselves), they in turn destroy and dismantle the barbarities built up over time, so typical of the poisoned barbarianism or poisoned hell that the divine Earth has become in our days.
Exemplary buildings that have been programmed to prevent our civilisation from decaying, losing its integrity, whose purpose is to regulate the internal environment of the system, to keep it in a stable and constant condition.
Strangely enough, it will be when this mega-architecture is fully implemented that a new desired order will be imposed.
The ``AUREBESH - B2'' mission considers the likelihood that in some secret and currently inaccessible place on our neighbouring planet Mars, perhaps, the conception is underway of incredibly sophisticated and volatile cities, transplanted from other worlds, which will be destined to house humans in the future and on a temporary basis, while Earth is being repaired: a very poorly made hell that needs to be put back together again.
A small number of privileged people, (scholars of cyber architecture and cyberspace, chosen of the Gods throughout the vastness of the cosmos and thus travellers through fugitive time), have hastened, examining all, in the design of incomparable structures, such airships, which in the future will surprise us as they take to the skies.
Selected flying buildings, like detachments, which have separated for moments from their main body, (the hitherto unknown alien metropolis), to fulfil the specific mission or task of transferring the human race, (nowadays shipwrecked), in an orderly manner, to return to the red and reddish planet, ensuring the rescue and transport even of all living beings, thus consolidating their salvation.
A surprising and unusual feat, whose meaning resembles, reminding us of the objective and function for which the 'Noah's Ark' was conceived, already announced in the biblical genesis, the origin or beginning of our complex universe.
