-HONOURABLE MENTION of Powerless City Competition
The era of producing energy by burning raw materials such as oil and natural gas is now coming to an end.
Sooner or later, our society will face the ‘coal-free era’ in which 13,491 thermal power plants in 107 countries around the world will be turned into large-scale waste.
The fact that thermal power plants are located on the coast or estuary due to cooling water problems and that they are connected to the city for energy supply enables subversive thinking that can propose a new energy system.
We propose a re-operate city that reflects the problem of industrial by-products of existing cities in power plant systems and makes them into new products and provides them as open sources to city users.
This will lead to active production and consumption and collective production and consumption that cause circulation, and collective intelligence on energy consumption and production will increase.
Existing power plant equipment has a variety of shapes and volumes, and there are numerous functions within them.
By adapting them appropriately, it will be possible to create 3d print cartridges and non-combustion energy production systems that help construct new urban fabric (such as housing and leisure).
