Exhibited: (2011) Project Hercules, DOMUS, The Gopher Gallery, London 

This project was made for Heracles Project which was organized by Domus International Architecture and Art Review. It was exhibited at The Gopher Hole Gallery in London on August of 2011 and published online.

According to Marco Brizzi’s, in Domus architectural report #14, this project “There could be a relationship between this vision and the previous one. Here climate change at the base of the project would be welcome—thanks to Mediterranean waters and with none other than the approval of Aeolus— in order to mitigate the climate in North African countries. This might be a new field for experimentation in Philippe Rahm’s meteorological architecture.

In any case, here too we have limited infrastructure and a general suggestion for rethinking the territory.. 

The Heracles Project was based in an epistolary exchange, of two European philosophers. They discuss an imaginary but possible infrastructure, a bridge linking Gibraltar and Ceuta that would eliminate the huge political, economic and geographical gap between Africa and Europe. The idea of using the Wind as a structural element for the biodiversity remains crucial for the grow of a land, but also for the emergence of new social, cultural and urban patterns able to morph the upcoming civilization.

The project was exhibited at The Gopher Hole Gallery in London on August of 2011.
