THE WEATHER STATION - Laboratory Architecture

A Fictional Weather Station Created to Tackle the Facts About Global Warming

This is one from the archives - a university project from my Diploma in Architecture from the Bartlett, UCL. The Weather Station is a conceptual structure of the future that not only predicts weather, but creates it. It is a piece of laboratory architecture that harnesses and stores energy produced by weather, and it uses this to create yet more weather and ozone. It is inspired by the grand and unrealised works of Nikola Tesla and his vision for a global wireless energy supply that would utilise the harmonic resonance of the Earth. The Weather Station translates those ideals into the context of our current and future global climate crisis.

Components

The weather station comprises of a range of components that, in this fictional narrative, provide an unstable environment suitable for the creation of mini-electrical storms. These include, ‘cold front generators’ and ‘static transportation units; there is also a ‘static kitchen’ which controls the flow of electricity and is consequently is made up of: insulators, ceramics and conductors. Some of these are shown below.
