Heritage Machine is an architectural project based on the conceptual approach of building ephemeral placemaking that dissolves back into nature as ruins over time. The ideas of physical memory, and an original approach to sustainability and building life cycle are the ground themes of the project. Physically, the gradual transition from the exterior to the interior world through a series of thresholds, and the grand roof canopy of the common hub large enough to form its own microclimate, are low-tech architectural gestures that respond to local environmental constraints of the desert between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Abstract

Heritage Machine is an architectural project based on the conceptual approach of building ephemeral placemaking that dissolves back into nature as ruins over time. The ideas of physical memory, and an original approach to sustainability and building life cycle are the ground themes of the project. Physically, the gradual transition from the exterior to the interior world through a series of thresholds, and the grand roof canopy of the common hub large enough to form its own microclimate, are low-tech architectural gestures that respond to local environmental constraints of the desert between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
