基地位在印度孟買的千人洗衣廠 (Dhobighat),為全球最大人力洗衣產業的所在地,同時也是一個貧民窟和非常著名的景點。其中存在著機器廢熱、潮濕、逃生不易、缺乏防火區劃等問題。

 

觀察逃生出入口與洗衣廠的關係之後,發現洗衣槽的排列方式跟逃生方向的軸線有關。設計決定設置在洗衣槽的兩側,增加火災時環境的指引性、辨識性,並在微建築中創造一條逃生路徑,讓人們可以迅速避難。另一方面,依區劃距離在基地上布點,讓微建築連線,配合水幕成為完整的防火區劃,利用位置在兩端的特性,藉由防火材阻止火勢蔓延,並增加居民的逃生時間。

 

微建築本身,「風塔」透過熱帶動空氣對流改善通風,「水塔」讓汙水被處理後回饋到洗衣產業並改善微氣候,我們在設計裡面適當的保留原本的產業及生活型態,創造不同於貧民窟的低密度空間形式。

Site in India Mumbai Dhobighat, as the world's largest human-powered washing machine  is also a slum and very famous attraction. There are problems on the site that machine waste heat, moist micro-climate, fire evacuation, and lack of fire protection zoning.

 

After observing the relationship with the laundry plant and entrance, found that the chute arrangement related to the axis in the direction of escape. Design set on the both sides of the chute, increasing environmental guidelines and legibility in case of fire, and create an escape route that people can evacuate. On the other hand, set points on the site, which form micro architecture line combined with water curtain as a whole to the fire prevention division. By positioning our volume on both sides, and using of fire wood to prevent the fire from spreading, and increase escape time. 

 

In micro-architecture, wind tower improve ventilation through air convection, water tower purified sewage return back to the laundry industry and improve the micro-climate. We reserve appropriate  industry and lifestyles in the design, creating different lower density space from the slums.
