With the fourth industrial revolution, cities can no longer accommodate industry, as the industry is compared in scale with entire cities. The new economic model no longer responds to capital, but responds to talent. The project aims generate a unique organizational system that serves as the basis for creating new social paradigm for the 21st century.
The Companies result of the 4th industrial revolution, are aware that the only way to evolve today is through brilliant minds, as the new economic model no longer responds to capital, but it responds to talent. Therefore, the project aims conglomerate the best minds in the world cohabiting a unique organizational system that serves as the basis for creating a new social paradigm for the 21st century. The scale of the metropolis is reduced to a single building and a single system. The project is understood as a multifunctional organism in which people live, eat, work, rest, play sports... Trying to generate a continuity that unites the different spaces and creates synergies between them. On the ground floor connections to the main transport routes are concentrated, while the first floor is used almost entirely to house the warehouse. The proposal places the areas dedicated to people at higher levels throughout the project. To materialize this idea, the proposal relies on the following structural elements: 1 - main structural cores 2- reinforced concrete grid roof 3- metal braces hanging from the roof to support the lower floors 4- concrete slabs 5 - secondary structural cores. Given the large scale of the complex, it is decided to give greater definition to the five spaces that best define the project globally: First we find the access, in which the building appears as a continuation of the city towards the sea. The park extends to the interior of the building at this point until the end. The second space that arises is the co-living area, generated from a series of housing spaces, common areas and workspaces at different heights among the forest of pillars. When we reach the central point of the building, we encounter the space dedicated to the forum, in which the main premise is the exchange of ideas. Next we find the library, source of knowledge where aside from e-books, importance is given to the physical book with which the company started. The project comes to an end with a large terrace overlooking the sea, as a continuation of the interior stepped space that contains the gastronomic area, a space for contemplation.
