Crane Rooms / Aristide Antonas
05
Simple concrete foundations and elementary water pools are proposed by Aristide Antonas in collaboration with Katerina Koutsogianni, to be installed in non hospitable beaches or arid hills nearby the sea.
The room units form independent cells, they can be covered by
tissues during the day; they provide a quality connection to the
Internet. The private or public character of each room is regulated by
the chosen high of every unit. The high control system is located
inside every room. Platforms go up and down following the will of every
provisional inhabitant. A bigger screen, related to the bed, serves as
a home cinema structure; a small office, a wardrobe and a shower are
placed in the same moving platform. A common underground kitchen serves
the needs of all the complex; a reverse osmosis desalination plant
provides drinkable water to the invisible kitchen and to the units (the
water pipes follow the length of the crane).
An identical design for “crane rooms” can be undertaken within a
system of moving vehicles in order to form a dispersed, moving “crane
room hotel”. Rooms moving up and down provide summer shelters with
changing views.
