Description: Der "Self Sufficient" Wettbewerb forderte die Teilnehmer heraus, ein autarkes und ökologisch orientiertes Wohnen zu entwerfen. Im frühen 20. Jahrhundert wurde der Begriff der "Wohnung" als "Wohnmaschine" definiert, eine Referenz an eine neue Art des Verständnisses der Konstruktion bewohnbarer Räume, das das Maschinen Zeitalter charakterisiert hat. Heute, ein Jahrhundert später, stehen wir vor der Herausforderung, eine nachhaltige oder autarke Wohnung zu konstruieren, einen lebenden Organismus, der mit seiner Umgebung in Wechselbeziehung tritt, der Ressourcen austauscht und der als völlig unabhängige Einheit funktioniert. Das "Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia" (IAAC) hat eine Auswahl von Eingaben gesammelt, die während ihrer 1. Advanced Architecture Competition - Self-Sufficient Housing - präsentiert wurden. Der Wettbewerb, wurde für Studenten und in der Praxis Schaffende konzipiert, um Veränderungen darüber anzuregen, wie neue Gebäude entworfen und konstruiert werden können. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and the technology company HP have developed an international contest with the idea of "self-sufficient city." It is an invitation to reflect on how we will live in the near future in the light of the social, cultural and technological changes in which we are immersed. This publication presents the projects of the 107 finalists between 708 participant proposals. From connected metropolises, eco neighbourhoods, self-sufficient buildings, intelligent homes or any other proposal for a short, medium or long-term project such as the winning ones: "HURBS" proposed by Sergio Castillo Tello and María Hernández Enríquez from Spain and "WATER FUEL" by Rychiee Espinosa and Seth Mcdowell from the United States. Vicente Guallart works in the confluence of Architecture, artificial nature and technologies. Some of his more relevant projects are the Denia Mountain (reconstruction of an old quarry, in an environment that hold and old Arab castle, selected for the Venice Biennale 2004), 3 ports in the North of Taiwan that will improve the tourism in the island (winners of 2 international competitions), or the Sharing Tower in the neighborhood of la Torre (Valencia). He spent part of his time with research and educational projects as former director of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC), in Barcelona, that holds an international postgraduate program on Architecture and Urbanism working in many scales "from Bits to geography". In 2000 he co-directed with MIT's Media Lab and another research Center, the Media House Project, the prototype of an informational house, based for the first time, in distributed computation. He is author of the master Plan of the project Sociópolis, a housing project in Valencia that allows the urban development and the protection of the agriculture environment. He coordinates a group of international architects that will build different equipments and housing projects in this neighborhood. This project was shown in the Valencia Biennale, or the Arkitertur Zentrum in Vienna. It will be built for the year 2007. He is co-author of the Metapolis Dictionary of Advanced Architecture Actar, HiperCatalonia or Media House Project. He has given lectures in different Universities and Cities around the world as Princeton University, Upenn, Architectural Association, UCLA, MIT, Space (Seoul), Woodbury University, Taipei and others.
