Project definition:
The geniuses say that the wise say that the essence of things is invisible to the eyes, and that these eyes only perceive, capturing, what the conscience understands. Well, this singular project was disqualified as ``imperceptible'' according to the mysterious decision of a jury, which even decided to hide it, preventing it from being published, as it was not visible among the list of works submitted to the competition.
An international architectural ideas competition for the design of a ``Central Cultural Centre'' for the European city of Tartu - (Estonia), the programme of which is mainly defined by several functional requirements, and which is to comprise:
1.- Security and control area.
2.- Convention Centre.
3.- Museum of Fine Arts.
4.- Great Public Library.
5.- Cafeteria - Restaurant
6.- Garage.
In this way, the hidden and priceless projected building has, as a fundamental physical idea, a hexahedron or cube of 60 metres on each side (elevated even 11 metres above ground level), whose total volume is carved by spatial subtraction of varied tetrahedrons, resulting in a brilliant and latent sculptural figure, in which the Convention Centre with its two auditoriums (in the lower part), the Museum of Fine Arts (in the intermediate zone) and the Great Public Library (occupying the upper floors) are inserted, superimposed and on different levels. The roof of the building is used to house a panoramic restaurant.
On the other hand, located below ground level (in a labyrinthine manner), and deployed on four levels with different surfaces, this structure conceals a car park which is accessed by buses full of visitors, supply vans and waste collection lorries, as well as bicycles and other private vehicles. A garage that can change its initial function to quickly transform itself, depending on the prevailing conditions, into a parking garage:
A.- A bunker, in the form of an underground shelter or fort, to protect against bombardment.
B.- Housing for beggars.
C.- Even in a hospital in times of pandemic, due to the worldwide spread of a new disease.
All these spaces are crossed by numerous batteries of elevators and various hoists, as well as being connected by differentiated robotic staircases for ascent and descent.
It should be noted that each and every one of the projected volumes is stabilised by the rigidity of its central core (built in reinforced concrete), which is in turn supported by a colossal footing, which is none other than the structure of the car park, which is entirely underground.
All this is a set of mini buildings in symbiosis, (associated and mixed), situated within the framework of an existing, respected nature, which is geometrically reinforced by being combined and encompassed in the project, as this vegetation is treated as a compositional element, as precious as it is valuable, to be considered.
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.
