Buscarse la vida en alta mar
El artista Cesar Harada propone un sistema de viviendas flotantes para mudarse a aguas internacionales | ROBERTA BOSCO - Barcelona - 12/12/2009

"La mejor forma de predecir el futuro es inventarlo". La frase es del ingeniero informático Alan Kay, pero Cesar Harada ha decidido convertirla en su lema e inventar su futuro en alta mar. Harada (Bayona, Francia, 1983) es artista, hijo del escultor japonés Tetsuo Harada y de madre francesa. Vive entre Londres y París, por el momento. Porque, mientras la mayoría de los mortales planea trasladarse al campo o la playa, Harada quiere irse a vivir en aguas internacionales de los océanos.
Por eso ha puesto en marcha Open Sailing (www.opensailing.net). Este proyecto interdisciplinar, abierto y colaborativo explora las posibilidades de la arquitectura marina. "La idea es desarrollar y construir un sistema de viviendas flotantes, que permitan la vida humana de forma totalmente autónoma, sostenible y respetuosa, pero también divertida y agradable" explica Harada.

Este peculiar arquitecto -acompañado por dos colaboradores, Carla Castaño (de Barcelona) y Ollie Palmer (de Londres)- ha presentado en Barcelona Open Sailing, en el marco del encuentro Now solar sobre tecnologías y energías sostenibles, que ha organizado un workshop en el Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona (CCCB) en colaboración con la Fundación Terra.

Tras intentar construir un prototipo de vivienda pensado para ocho personas, para evitar los obstáculos burocráticos, Harada ha reducido las dimensiones. Y ahora trabaja en algo parecido a una Estación Internacional Oceánica, más pequeña, pero con los módulos indispensables para vivir, producir energía, cultivar vegetales en jardines flotantes abonados con los desechos orgánicos y criar (o más bien atraer) los peces lanzando plancton en el agua. "Podemos hacer converger los rayos del sol en un determinado perímetro del mar para calentar el agua y crear un hábitat más favorable a los peces", indica Harada.
La Estación Oceánica, prevista para el próximo verano, se basa en una arquitectura instintiva que reacciona como un animal. "Cuando la situación es favorable los módulos se alejan del elemento central, si es peligrosa se reagrupan", explica Harada. Para su diseño se ha inspirado en una medusa con largos tentáculos y una especie de vela que se hincha cuando quiere desplazarse. Y sus viviendas flotantes son un híbrido entre un barco y una plataforma petrolífera (pero mucho más bonitas) que se desplazan gracias al viento y las corrientes. En el proyecto trabajan 40 personas, incluidos científicos.
El proyecto se inició como una estrategia de supervivencia, a partir de la recopilación de un mapa de los miedos en el que todos pueden participar a través de (www.hi-ve.net) con la idea de convertir estos miedos en una fuerza de energía positiva. "Los océanos son los lugares más seguros del planeta", concluye Harada.

CCCB Open_Sailing taller

Open_Sailing @ the Now festival, CCCB Barcelona

Open_Sailing has been invited in Barcelona by the CCCB  for a lecture (below you can see the slideshow) and for a day-long workshop, as a part of the NOW festival and Atopia. 
NOW is a reflection on the present based on the scientific, technological, artistic, social and spiritual transformations that are taking place at the start of the 21st century. It is a process of research, creation and dissemination that aims to bring together different local and international agents involved in the actions that are promoting a change of paradigm in the information and knowledge society and in globalised cultures.



Lecture
The first day, Cesar Harada presented Open_Sailing on a more historical perspective, explaining how it developed and where it is going, slideshow below.





Workshop
The second day 27 person participated the Open_Sailing workshop with Cesar Harada, Ruairi Glynn, Ollie Palmer, Carla Colet Castano. It was about dance, sensible linear - branched and complex networks, mapping, tagging, geostrategy, group and decision making, adhocracy, object oriented politics, open architecture, town-planning, renewable energies, sustainable design, hedonism, fun, architecture of play.

Here is the structure of the workshop as a simpler array of instructions :

Dance
1. walk
2. run
stretch
3. walk eyes closed
4. run eyes closed
5. linear network - walk eyes closed
6. linear network - walk eyes closed - somebody takes the lead
7. branched network - walk eyes closed
8. branched network - walk eyes closed - somebody takes the lead
9. complex network - walk eyes closed
10. complex network - walk eyes closed - somebody takes the lead
11. splitting the group is sub-groups

Map
1. cover the floor with a large paper
2. draw YOUR world map


Tag
1. have 2 colours stikers : one "like" color, one "dislike" color
2. tag the map, write words on tags
3. map the whole world


Individual desire
1. think of where you personaly would prefer to live according to your map and tags


Group decision of a location
1. make a decision, as group, of one location, where you all agree to go together


Group decision of activities
1. as a group decide one activity in this new location


Individual involvment
1. as an individual, choose your activity within this group


Craft of the system
1. describe your location, group activity, personal activity, how the system would work (food, energy, political, technology ...)


Design of the system
1. optimize your system


Fabrication of models
1. as a group, fabricate the physical model of what you have been describing


Public presentation and debate
1. present your group work to other groups of works
2. compare, discuss.
3. general debate : what happened? what did you enjoy? what did you not enjoy? what did you learn? what will remain in your memory? How will this workshop affect your future life?
