Analyse einer Beziehung anhand der Systemtheorie. City and countryside: past, present and future scenarios. Analysis of a relationship based on systems theory.&nbsp; Mentors: Prof. Sebastian Feucht and Prof: Pelin Celik.&nbsp; PART IThe long-term sustainability of humanity and of the planet is inextricably linked to the fate of our cities. But the city is not an autonomous and self-sufficient entity: on the contrary, it is entirely dependent on the environment in which it arose, grew, and evolved over the millennia. Its own intrinsic capacity for growth and further development depends on the environment. In a historical period that calls many subjects into question, it is appropriate to reconsider the relationship between the city and the countryside. Using a concept apparatus borrowed from systems theory, this work has attempted to schematically reconstruct, from an unusual perspective, the past of European cities and their relationship with their surroundings: boundary, growth, equilibrium, centralization, decentralization, energy, information, and resource exchange are the key concepts, with which the city is described and analyzed as an entity that has grown and changed over the millennia. Systems theory and its key concepts have been used as an analytical tool, allowing a mapping of the processes that have changed the relationship between the city and its surrounding territories. Starting from the Neolithic period, the emergence, development and growth of the city as a spreading entity are reconstructed, highlighting its exchange and dependency relationship in terms of energy and resources with the land or natural territories. The resulting picture is a clear and systematic mapping of this relationship.

In doing so, a synthesis is carried out on the basis of the collected findings and information of the previous part. Like other European metropolises, the Berlin-Brandenburg region is undergoing a period of profound change: located in the geographical and political center of Europe, it offers itself as a suitable place for generating new impulses, new stimuli and new ideas. In an era of profound change that affects all areas of human activity - from transportation to work, from education to the environment - old schemes and paradigms may be obsolete and may need to be replaced. The second part raises a variety of questions and issues that challenge those schemes and paradigms. However, these questions are not answered by developing a single concept, but by crafting&nbsp;narratives. This makes it possible to ask questions, raise doubts, and imagine alternatives. Narratives form an excellent tool to trigger discussions and provide the necessary material for the construction of speculative scenarios. Scenario building is the backbone of the second part of this elaboration: draft laws, trends, signals, environmental and territorial issues serve as a substrate for the development of the project. They are amplified and used as a framework within which several concepts have been built. The final form of the project is therefore a catalog of concepts, which is inscribed in the Brandenburg geographic discourse but can be potentially scaled and decontextualized.&nbsp;Some concepts are show an higher degree of feasibility and are currently in a further stage of development. Others present rather a pure ­speculative character. Yet all the concepts aim to provide a set of overall solutions for urban and rural contexts in the coming decades. The concepts are presented through the medium of comic. The nature, use and scope of individual projects are explained through dialogues. The second part (DE) is available here. MAPPING The Gigamap used to map as comprehensively as possible the main social, economical, energetical and natural characteristics of the region Brandenburg.

Once a symbol of freedom and the first affordable means of enabling people's mobile independence, the car is now facing a turning point and it is likely to experience a gradual ­decline: sharing systems, autonomous vehicles and the arisen of the bicycle as sustainable vehicle are slowly changing the traffic pattern of European and worldwide metropolises. Traffic-free zones are popping up in ­several European cities: Paris, Berlin, Milan, Barcelona to name just a few. The future concept of Smart City promises to better the life condition of citizens in urban ­context and to re-design the way in which we live in the city. The 15 minutes City model and his decentralised pattern will radically impact the mobility individual needs. Based on these premises, this concept imagines how will the public and common space looks like in urban context no longer dominated by the car. SYMBOLISM&nbsp; The seat symbolizes on one side the decline of the private car as a city protagonist whilst at the same time it acts as a warning sign for climate change and the increasing sea level: one of the most successful man-made product at the center of bitter controversy for years, now seems to be floating above a sea of asphalt. The symbolic meaning of this concept can not be misunderstood: his message is clear and universally comprehensible. Although this project was developed for the geographical setting of Berlin Brandenburg area, it can be implemented in any type of urban context.&nbsp;Aut is currently in the developing phase. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05dfad6c0a02efc8ca5d610ff93f4d374162b891ef220dcc217ef15a5dc13e79/Stadtobel_Aut_01.png" data-mid="123895740" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05dfad6c0a02efc8ca5d610ff93f4d374162b891ef220dcc217ef15a5dc13e79/Stadtobel_Aut_01.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5b287b04110a1e95122511342c5bf326fefc239110417851103e31e83bda64a/Stadtobel_Aut_02.png" data-mid="123895743" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5b287b04110a1e95122511342c5bf326fefc239110417851103e31e83bda64a/Stadtobel_Aut_02.png" /> FEATURES Aut is a a seat and deck-chair for urban context. Its silhouette and formal canon remind us unmistakably at the contour of a car. Instead of roaring through the city streets and leaving behind poisonous fumes, it sits under the trees and between the buildings providing citizens and tourists a place to sit, rest and lye down. The former protagonist of the city now lives as a wreck, as a carcass, offering a different and opposite function than the original one to its users.&nbsp;This seat and deck-chair provides different laying and sitting positions depending on its angle and on lowering in the ground: Sitting in the front or back, lying all over the surface - the area is large enough for up to 7 people. A steel frame allows robustness and durability. The supporting structure is composed of steel elements, held together by means of concealed screws. This construction approach facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts in case of damage. The seating area is composed of a continuous surface of wooden slats: Robinia (false acacia), Douglas fir or larch are to most suitable woods for outdoor environments and ensure durability and weather resistance.The resulting product is a large seat, suitable for different types of city contexts, whose functionality is inherently accompanied by a subtle criticism and latent irony. &nbsp; <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ce7bf4b588e22ac26b7b6c2dc426e3dc883e1341bb16dd940f4598d5ecb625c/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A.png" data-mid="123896353" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ce7bf4b588e22ac26b7b6c2dc426e3dc883e1341bb16dd940f4598d5ecb625c/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17b7e2782f12a2a789e2fca89e33ad6075c1a6feb9937b20873eb6f7d5ff365a/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A2.png" data-mid="123896354" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17b7e2782f12a2a789e2fca89e33ad6075c1a6feb9937b20873eb6f7d5ff365a/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A2.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7feb0b75ce9968f3e635600b643f8e496582c21cf2b265702acff44dbea8d28f/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A3.png" data-mid="123896355" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7feb0b75ce9968f3e635600b643f8e496582c21cf2b265702acff44dbea8d28f/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A3.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f744dac46a180a6311afc53823f35d287858985e443e71d02ca4297e60fdaa7/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A4.png" data-mid="123896357" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f744dac46a180a6311afc53823f35d287858985e443e71d02ca4297e60fdaa7/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A4.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ac628de81e194e8d2ccfff6f3ca7ac87ab58e34e1be79ba1653e8af42b5f766e/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A5.png" data-mid="123896358" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ac628de81e194e8d2ccfff6f3ca7ac87ab58e34e1be79ba1653e8af42b5f766e/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A5.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/710edd6f594f2751d3f60123975711e78e1dd1a05829b2d2f7738bfe5fdf3895/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A6.png" data-mid="123896359" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/710edd6f594f2751d3f60123975711e78e1dd1a05829b2d2f7738bfe5fdf3895/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A6.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/14f41074470fc831a0e25269d8e3e47eec288f6f398a92c1eab814800d33d17b/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A7.png" data-mid="123896360" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/14f41074470fc831a0e25269d8e3e47eec288f6f398a92c1eab814800d33d17b/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A7.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3830d7ab035de2a6ce2ee092f7dfa10170e0f5e04d2bccf2d0103f1df7bb6016/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A8.png" data-mid="123896361" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3830d7ab035de2a6ce2ee092f7dfa10170e0f5e04d2bccf2d0103f1df7bb6016/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A8.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/142aae74dc57f641ac1a59f373342e21bfcffa5c3f6a56e6548f3da4bf27abf5/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A9.png" data-mid="123896362" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/142aae74dc57f641ac1a59f373342e21bfcffa5c3f6a56e6548f3da4bf27abf5/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A9.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5141d6b3e2c5833cfcf7b5e4c24770b504bffed716eb44c98622fefcd6809772/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A10.png" data-mid="123896363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5141d6b3e2c5833cfcf7b5e4c24770b504bffed716eb44c98622fefcd6809772/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A10.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fbbf1aaefaa3de09ff272ea8cd73784443e778c17aa8b1ac35c45b0972c0c367/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A11.png" data-mid="123896365" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fbbf1aaefaa3de09ff272ea8cd73784443e778c17aa8b1ac35c45b0972c0c367/Stadtmobel_Assemblage_A11.png" /> https://riccardofalletta.com/BAMBOOK Sat, 06 Nov 2021 21:38:11 +0000 Riccardo Falletta https://riccardofalletta.com/BAMBOOK BAMBOOK 2021 A bamboo based modular construction system Bambook is a bamboo based modular construction system, which serves to generate flat and curved surface.

It consists of a central metal plate (01), to which are radially attached three cylinders (3), into which can be inserted bamboo stalks (12). However, bamboo stalks do not all present the same internal diameter. Therefore, the connection cylinders are covered with a sponge-like sleeve with two different hardness gradations&nbsp;(09-10), thus allowing the insertion of the stalks, regardless of their inner diameter.The node is then covered with a wooden casing (04), which does not have a primary mechanical function. Holes drilled in the central metal plate provide a way to attach the six tensioners - metal cables - and anchor them by carabiners to a central circular plate.&nbsp;After the tensioners are attached, the resulting hexagonal element is is tightened and under tension. In this way should be not&nbsp; even necessary to clamp or fasten the ends of the bamboo stalks. They are under compression and fixed in place and therefore not be able to move. <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250"

hexagonal module. The six main nodes can be fixed and tightened to a central disc by means of steel cables. This module can be repeated on 2 axes to generate surfaces. On the inner side the modules are tensioned by means of a continuous additional steel cable, on the outer side they can be covered i.e. with truck tarpaulin segments, which in turn further stretch and stiffen the resulting surface, and make it partially waterproof. Bambook can be used to construct both flat and curved surfaces. The bamboo segments can be bent as desired during the drying process, depending on the type of surface to be processed. <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9124ef5d8b247b6d252f461f3c6db1e1c30b80d9cc50f8d67f7760a32385ce2e/Bambook_Zeichnung_16.png" data-mid="127143503" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9124ef5d8b247b6d252f461f3c6db1e1c30b80d9cc50f8d67f7760a32385ce2e/Bambook_Zeichnung_16.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/48520607f30008e587ee3c06ce0ecfb6fe8136229b853fb9381d93ed8f278f95/Bambook_Zeichnung_17.png" data-mid="127143504" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/48520607f30008e587ee3c06ce0ecfb6fe8136229b853fb9381d93ed8f278f95/Bambook_Zeichnung_17.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3ace38601ff9878fff924e63439f663f6a9b70b9a395cc8af5b5d8da4942443/Bambook_Zeichnung_18.png" data-mid="127143505" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3ace38601ff9878fff924e63439f663f6a9b70b9a395cc8af5b5d8da4942443/Bambook_Zeichnung_18.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e4126f64e9af4de85c7f6cc7b02837f506a1218c6017cc79254998cc31874c6/Bambook_Zeichnung_20.png" data-mid="127143596" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e4126f64e9af4de85c7f6cc7b02837f506a1218c6017cc79254998cc31874c6/Bambook_Zeichnung_20.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ae45ee4bbc8ea5eaac2f4ed6096139e3681d85281503ef9c46d88f128fbdddb/Bambook_Zeichnung_19.png" data-mid="127143507" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ae45ee4bbc8ea5eaac2f4ed6096139e3681d85281503ef9c46d88f128fbdddb/Bambook_Zeichnung_19.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4379d29161d692e33c99fc8b29878de4cd048b21c39c0e6d7cbabf0b63cba4a9/Bambook_Zeichnung_21.png" data-mid="127143509" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4379d29161d692e33c99fc8b29878de4cd048b21c39c0e6d7cbabf0b63cba4a9/Bambook_Zeichnung_21.png" /> https://riccardofalletta.com/RHIZOM Thu, 30 Apr 2020 08:53:20 +0000 Riccardo Falletta https://riccardofalletta.com/RHIZOM RHIZOM 2020 Nachhaltiges und wandelbares Bausystem im ruralen Kontext.&nbsp;Bachelor Arbeit Mentors:&nbsp;Prof. Birgit Weller and Prof. Sebastian Feucht. RHIZOM consists of a set of prefabricated elements that can be fast and easily assembled without the need for a building site. Once assembled, the small to large residential units, offices or common spaces can be dismantled into their individual parts and reassembled at another location thanks to their modularity. A thoroughly effective, sustainable and adaptable solution to counteract the ever-increasing housing shortage, especially in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. This construction system is designed to meet the needs of several target groups: from individuals who need affordable accommodation, families without children who are looking for a specific type of housing, to young entrepreneurs who need an aesthetically attractive and cost-saving solution for their new office outside the city.The units can be configured according to specific needs, requirements and economic capacity. They are organized on a two-dimensional grid and can appear in simple or in more complex configuration. The addition of a second floor is also possible. Prefabrication, which has established itself as an advantageous construction method in recent years, also enables an efficient transport logistics, fast and precise assembly and dismantling. Designed to be integrated into rural spaces, Rhizom ties in both formally and constructively with the german tradition of timber framing houses and can be classified in both the mobile and temporary architectural movement. The Project was supervised by Prof. Birgit Weller und Prof. Sebastian Feucht.&nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8351c2486730c958786cadeb0feb3320d8d970e8c4357aa864f2612a0315344d/Rhizom_Public_01.jpg" data-mid="106246947" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8351c2486730c958786cadeb0feb3320d8d970e8c4357aa864f2612a0315344d/Rhizom_Public_01.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90280709f6a25ce6d7a661bead4b83051055bb76ac07c179b94525b5ffa536b2/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_1.jpg" data-mid="69233778" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90280709f6a25ce6d7a661bead4b83051055bb76ac07c179b94525b5ffa536b2/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_1.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e79645c0d79ea05a5dddbb2b7ae5f8421515a0b09300658b4e9897f0dc0b77a2/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_6.jpg" data-mid="69233779" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e79645c0d79ea05a5dddbb2b7ae5f8421515a0b09300658b4e9897f0dc0b77a2/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_6.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b260a8350fa75f1136affc0edcbd740145abdc0e96bbc83be2a2b2ff252133e/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_7.jpg" data-mid="69233780" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b260a8350fa75f1136affc0edcbd740145abdc0e96bbc83be2a2b2ff252133e/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_VIEW_7.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/861d4aa3f567633b27c3236acdb93282e82710fa3251bc340c1f98f39b221292/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_7.jpg" data-mid="69233767" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/861d4aa3f567633b27c3236acdb93282e82710fa3251bc340c1f98f39b221292/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_7.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bce3d968885c43f8815c9fe32cc80d5d706a38b105f668601f03c25c0601ad29/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_1.jpg" data-mid="69233757" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bce3d968885c43f8815c9fe32cc80d5d706a38b105f668601f03c25c0601ad29/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_1.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64a219b674263728ed6af2746c638ebec6a7cc6f5614709f66d40f0f0ee3d45a/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_2.jpg" data-mid="69233759" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64a219b674263728ed6af2746c638ebec6a7cc6f5614709f66d40f0f0ee3d45a/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_2.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/885d271a060b809888ded693a485c6282e7575c7a67635844c532f7ae3644154/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_6.jpg" data-mid="69233765" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/885d271a060b809888ded693a485c6282e7575c7a67635844c532f7ae3644154/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_6.jpg" /> MATERIALS Rhizom is completely made of&nbsp; environmentally friendly materials: Glulam for the framework, CLT for walls and floors, metal or straw for the roof, natural stone blocks for the foundations, gravel for the outside floors. However, there is no shortage of more conventional materials such as glass and carbonate. Glulam is a type of structural engineered wood product constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives. Cross-laminated timber ia a sub-category of engineered wood.&nbsp;CLT is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid-sawn lumber. Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/daf962932542ede722f5229980b412b1ee6469112de0decb0cc7e00d4c1ceba2/BA_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_4-copy.jpg" data-mid="69236155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/daf962932542ede722f5229980b412b1ee6469112de0decb0cc7e00d4c1ceba2/BA_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_4-copy.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2572b6f26711bb85e952d6dd1241c31d511f4ab7b1f1810dcd2e0f3cad2fb89a/BA_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_6-copy.jpg" data-mid="69236156" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2572b6f26711bb85e952d6dd1241c31d511f4ab7b1f1810dcd2e0f3cad2fb89a/BA_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_6-copy.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e21da00419833589c7eb3f2b2ebedf441c2aa5aa2909c3633ffcb99b991adb81/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_3.jpg" data-mid="69233777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e21da00419833589c7eb3f2b2ebedf441c2aa5aa2909c3633ffcb99b991adb81/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_3.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8070964aada120c15b5fced30bd4a634d215883721cca0bbb3d1da9f3526f5cf/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_1.jpg" data-mid="69233774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8070964aada120c15b5fced30bd4a634d215883721cca0bbb3d1da9f3526f5cf/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_1.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8854827981dda55938f3d816e00939a92821f8879c3a0571f6a68708c1a2d275/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_4.jpg" data-mid="69233761" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8854827981dda55938f3d816e00939a92821f8879c3a0571f6a68708c1a2d275/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_02_VIEW_4.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e0d681612862d7b5668bf95a93aa1b552d64524573a11e226c4f1b00538d89f/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_2.jpg" data-mid="69233776" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e0d681612862d7b5668bf95a93aa1b552d64524573a11e226c4f1b00538d89f/Rhizom_KONFIGURATION_010_Armatur_VIEW_2.jpg" /> BRACINGDissipate tension and compression forces The bracing ensures the stability of the structure. A strut is a structural element that often runs diagonally and is primarily used to transfer tension and compression forces. In timber framing construction, struts are part of the crossing and serve to stiffen the overall construction. The anchor points are either on the connecting plates, which are embbed into the rafters, or in the node connecting elements. This makes&nbsp; possible to orient the bracing on two different axes. Such a system greatly increases the freedom degree in designing the respective configuration. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa248589a122800adb43887803ab92cae90c3ad1216d1c765d5e226cf53fe835/Verstrebung_Negative_01.png" data-mid="69240007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa248589a122800adb43887803ab92cae90c3ad1216d1c765d5e226cf53fe835/Verstrebung_Negative_01.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e612d403af90d358352f3f273b618ea37f8557393eac9a6802a441d6d733d762/Verstrebung_2.png" data-mid="69276022" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e612d403af90d358352f3f273b618ea37f8557393eac9a6802a441d6d733d762/Verstrebung_2.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72bdd182ad0a217421de9a430a51bb59a979efe2e8c8e73b3ab2227690016851/Verstrebung_3.png" data-mid="69275253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72bdd182ad0a217421de9a430a51bb59a979efe2e8c8e73b3ab2227690016851/Verstrebung_3.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b020b0fd0e8afe41eaac6f458253dd789457dfb23923d89d6299921e1dad5c9a/Verstrebung_4.png" data-mid="71261400" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b020b0fd0e8afe41eaac6f458253dd789457dfb23923d89d6299921e1dad5c9a/Verstrebung_4.png" /> POST&nbsp; Posts for partition&nbsp;and&nbsp;supporting walls The inner and outer posts have been designed to install supporting and partitions walls in the framework. Since they are &nbsp;affected by the forces of a single axis, just like the individual elements of the framework, the inner posts are also made of Glulam. Three types of posts have been designed to ensure maximum flexibility for different configurations: 1 - for glass panes 2 - for CLT walls 3 - for carbonate multi-wall sheets The inner posts consist of the following main elements: 1 - The Glulam post 2 - The mounting steel jig (slots) 3 - The mounting boards 4 - Tracks for glass panes, carbonates multiwall sheets and CLT walls. There is no difference between the upper and the bottom part of the post, they have symmetrical design (which make their vertical arrangement easier). Although the sturdiness of the posts is partly reduced by subtracting the material (saving on slots), it is recovered by the same slots. The slots are made of solid structural steel and statically complement the material that has been removed. The fastening screws must be secured with a special tool. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d90a851f1d32dd1e1f0c94c4835594da818d727d8626672450bc7373d84b611/Staender_1.png" data-mid="69254007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d90a851f1d32dd1e1f0c94c4835594da818d727d8626672450bc7373d84b611/Staender_1.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87e0f33723398c76e20a1db559ba21389775c18d18a0b42136a224ee4a9ee31e/Staender_2.png" data-mid="69254008" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87e0f33723398c76e20a1db559ba21389775c18d18a0b42136a224ee4a9ee31e/Staender_2.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d989d86a279e78758266153f706f11080848d71ef9bd266feff2fbea6bf8c33/Staender_3.png" data-mid="69254009" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d989d86a279e78758266153f706f11080848d71ef9bd266feff2fbea6bf8c33/Staender_3.png" /> NODES The concept is based on modular, add-on principles. The nodes are the main intersections of the construction, where the metal plate (nodes) is fastened to the Glulam elements with screws and bolts. During assembly, the nodes are first inserted into the milled slots of the post. Then the connecting plates of the beams are integrated and the whole block is fixed. The procedure is repeated for the beams and then for the rafters. The procedure for dismantling is simply the other way round. Once fully fastened, all elements and the connecting plates disappear into the milled slots of the Glulam elements. All that remains visible are the edges of the connectors and the cut-outs in which the bolts find their place. The nodes are not only meant as fastening elements for the beams, the rafters, the beam layers or ridge. Additional plates provide the necessary anchor points for the roof, for the cladding elements and for the external rod system for greening the façade. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4f3cb1096b34d6a2cce75febbe7116bb2b626c33a3159df15de0fb940ca2a3e/Knoten_1.png" data-mid="71262992" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4f3cb1096b34d6a2cce75febbe7116bb2b626c33a3159df15de0fb940ca2a3e/Knoten_1.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1795896211600e1d61e3eeee4395393b730024e884f8d63ed11a208f9bf1224/Knoten_2.jpg" data-mid="71264347" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1795896211600e1d61e3eeee4395393b730024e884f8d63ed11a208f9bf1224/Knoten_2.jpg" /> https://riccardofalletta.com/WUHLHEIDE-PUBLIC-DESIGN-PROJEKT Fri, 20 Mar 2020 10:16:48 +0000 Riccardo Falletta https://riccardofalletta.com/WUHLHEIDE-PUBLIC-DESIGN-PROJEKT WUHLHEIDE PUBLIC DESIGN PROJECT2019Winner Project&nbsp; Wuhlheide Public Design Project District Exchange Treptow-Köpenick A set of elements for the Wuhlheide Forest and Park facility&nbsp;The project consists of a set of elements designed to be inserted in the Wuhlheide park. Although they have been developed for this specific purpose, they can be adopted and declinated in other green facilities, woods or gardens adjacent to urban contexts.&nbsp;The Wuhlheide was acquired by the city of Berlin in 1911 for drinking water production. It is predominantly a deciduous forest with a very high share of oak trees. It was once crossed by the rivers Hohe Wallgraben and Rohrlake.&nbsp;The light blue tone of the elements set recalls the water color and at the same time is easy to be spotted in greenery and natural environments without looking too obtrusive. &nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a00b3e1b23eb70c01135de528002072cbe8f5a9e8fdcec421ad5df092b6062e/Brunnen_05-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473320" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a00b3e1b23eb70c01135de528002072cbe8f5a9e8fdcec421ad5df092b6062e/Brunnen_05-copy.jpg" /> STEMSThe two vertical and symmetrical stems, tapered and visible from a distance, indicate to the visitor the main entrances. Built with stainless sand polished steel, they have a bay on the inside that cuts both stems vertically, from bottom to top, generating a housing for LEDs strips. The oblique cut of the upper parts is derived from the alphabetical character W, which have been extracted, simplified and used for the development of the formal canon of the elements. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8971dde6f9c931f85e3fdfceed4e78e9cd11d22453df2492646065a4cfb42dee/Landmark_01-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473323" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8971dde6f9c931f85e3fdfceed4e78e9cd11d22453df2492646065a4cfb42dee/Landmark_01-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9198236315ecee50bb3575a17f519b9b57212c8efc36e7fe9905af3b39e29b3a/WH_Landmark_Stem_A2.png" data-mid="123308995" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9198236315ecee50bb3575a17f519b9b57212c8efc36e7fe9905af3b39e29b3a/WH_Landmark_Stem_A2.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d4809216c45dba7e45ef7bc1b4ed905b2db94ce52e2e2cac34554b99c6df923/WH_Landmark_Stem_A3.png" data-mid="123308996" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d4809216c45dba7e45ef7bc1b4ed905b2db94ce52e2e2cac34554b99c6df923/WH_Landmark_Stem_A3.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6ea43fa4deb3798eac472659467647d265005337e58914ca35b696a5bcb8cb6/WH_Landmark_Stem_A4.png" data-mid="123308997" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6ea43fa4deb3798eac472659467647d265005337e58914ca35b696a5bcb8cb6/WH_Landmark_Stem_A4.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccfd9deb36f80dd907d8be915890a657c2f6179e83b1a4ec62fadf4cccf79330/WH_Landmark_Stem_A5.png" data-mid="123308998" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccfd9deb36f80dd907d8be915890a657c2f6179e83b1a4ec62fadf4cccf79330/WH_Landmark_Stem_A5.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65385ab489dc9399a62d9dc959c43ca43c40252c6f7447b06f96d5cc485cc681/WH_Landmark_Stem_A6.png" data-mid="123308999" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65385ab489dc9399a62d9dc959c43ca43c40252c6f7447b06f96d5cc485cc681/WH_Landmark_Stem_A6.png" /> PODESTAL ISLAND&nbsp; With his 370 hectares, the Wuhlheide is one of the biggest garden and woodland facility in Berlin. It is reachable by 2 Metro Station - S-Bahn Karlshorst and Köpenick - and numerous other public means of transport. Families, visitors and sportsperson daily have the chance to go for a walk, jog and play in wide lawns and thick forests. Playground for children and sport facilities can also be found. Nonetheless, a lack of seats and resting spots, which would allows the visitors to take some rest after a long walk or a run, interfere to unleashing the potential of the facility. Seating facilities can enhance the whole Wuhlheide appearance and usability. The seats would consist of stainless sand polished steel frame, on which an array of treated larch or teak beams are placed and fastened. Instead of wood, terrace boards of WPC (wood-plastic composite) could also be adopted. The seats can be also mirrored and coupled together, forming a sort of island crossed by the walk path. They can be used to seat, to lying or even to take a short nap. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/328b5dd67270de8a29f3d9526cbe48bd412a45a912bacd3663a496814ad99645/Podestinsel_V1_01-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/328b5dd67270de8a29f3d9526cbe48bd412a45a912bacd3663a496814ad99645/Podestinsel_V1_01-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7f9a47bbbf22fafae448c5990b2e76ddee9b91326f292049f8f9330308b004e/Podestinsel_V1_VIEW_01-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473325" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7f9a47bbbf22fafae448c5990b2e76ddee9b91326f292049f8f9330308b004e/Podestinsel_V1_VIEW_01-copy.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc34ec09e4eef75f58d0d2ee010193094faefc7a8f9648df7a291c3d09c6d951/Podestinsel_V1_VIEW_02-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473326" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc34ec09e4eef75f58d0d2ee010193094faefc7a8f9648df7a291c3d09c6d951/Podestinsel_V1_VIEW_02-copy.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efc14378246d028ba0c46365a843ea5f1fce85a9cc5958ab017c73a5ad7ebc00/WH_Landmark_Podest_A7.png" data-mid="123308989" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efc14378246d028ba0c46365a843ea5f1fce85a9cc5958ab017c73a5ad7ebc00/WH_Landmark_Podest_A7.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3f28db4d7ee9b51017c47ed4fe64e80711062d906a050b98414ad624360a0214/WH_Landmark_Podest_A8.png" data-mid="123308990" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3f28db4d7ee9b51017c47ed4fe64e80711062d906a050b98414ad624360a0214/WH_Landmark_Podest_A8.png" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5c05a344e875f63a0a8ddea47850a99ca7358cf88d1188cc6064f6cce5779a7/WH_Landmark_Podest_A9.png" data-mid="123308991" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b5c05a344e875f63a0a8ddea47850a99ca7358cf88d1188cc6064f6cce5779a7/WH_Landmark_Podest_A9.png" /> SEAT ELEMENTSThe frame of the seat element is also built from a 10 x 10 square steel tube frame. The steel tubes are miter welded together.The seat element has an invisible rail system, which allows the backrest to be installed separately. In a possible further development, the seat elements can be easily adapted so that they can also be coupled by mirroring. An additional fastening possibility would also have to be considered.

The weight of one unit is 170 kg (without concrete filling).

The Raindrape is a time delayed waterfall. The horizontal beam consists of a hollow container which get filled during rain period. On the bottom of the beam, an array of holes allows the water to drop out. A grate on the top blocks leaves and other debris from getting into the beam and obstruct the outflow holes. The water flows out during and for some time after the rain, recalling the appearance of a relic still in function. The non-functionality of the Raindrape strengthen his symbolic role. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b01e3d670381dc2294f38fff3e9758bcbb6fce18e0bcb323b4f048f44762ac77/Brunnen_02-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b01e3d670381dc2294f38fff3e9758bcbb6fce18e0bcb323b4f048f44762ac77/Brunnen_02-copy.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f291f86381042450b73f4d537160e46a5551d510780656d5237440b6c98e0543/Brunnen_03-copy.jpg" data-mid="69473319" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f291f86381042450b73f4d537160e46a5551d510780656d5237440b6c98e0543/Brunnen_03-copy.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2250" width_o="4000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/130e90cbd6e08cc39c424c1f22017489d5585d242307544f625563417cb8b104/WH_Landmark_Regenvorhang_A12.png" data-mid="123308992" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/130e90cbd6e08cc39c424c1f22017489d5585d242307544f625563417cb8b104/WH_Landmark_Regenvorhang_A12.png" /> https://riccardofalletta.com/DAS-BLATT-BROSE-AG Sun, 16 Sep 2018 13:58:50 +0000 Riccardo Falletta https://riccardofalletta.com/DAS-BLATT-BROSE-AG DAS BLATT 2018 University Project In collaboration with Brose AG.&nbsp; Das Blatt is the resulting concept of a project having as main theme the Smart Mobility District in 2030 and supported by BROSE AG, a german company specialized in automation and production of automotive parts and components.&nbsp; Das Blatt is a pavilion which provides constantly informations about activities, events and services within a given district in real time. It is designed to be a public work which can be used free of charge by everyone. Its formal appearance remind to the shape of a carefully folded sheet - which refers to the archetype of the newspaper in its most common form. It consists mainly of an exterior and an internal facade builded around a bended steel structure.&nbsp; The first facade shows continuously informations about services, events and activities that take place in a particular district.On the internal facade it is possible to interact with the pavilion itself, inserting personal announcements, requests and job offers which will then projected onto the external façade, thus allowing the user to personally contribute actively to the life of the neighborhood. It wants, in a deliberately provocative manner, to highlight the centrality and monumentality that the BIG DATA have assumed on a civic level, while on an abstract level it wants to represent the centripetal attraction capacity of digital information in our daily life. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/81720dc00baecc843fcf4b8e03e78afa14d266c4d0d8c8e9111122452445ad32/Blatt_Frontal_Night_Open-copy.png" data-mid="36694253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/81720dc00baecc843fcf4b8e03e78afa14d266c4d0d8c8e9111122452445ad32/Blatt_Frontal_Night_Open-copy.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3be5dcd4a038de9b7eef0049a3c5f69ab860571a6d4f3008f1101dd58e2c2499/Blatt_Frontal_Night_Closed-copy.png" data-mid="36694252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3be5dcd4a038de9b7eef0049a3c5f69ab860571a6d4f3008f1101dd58e2c2499/Blatt_Frontal_Night_Closed-copy.png" /> Das Blatt provides citizens and tourists the widest possible spectrum of information about the urban context in which they are&nbsp; located, attempting at the same time to enhance a communication and information exchange which otherwise would only take place on a private level. &nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a0c3bd85433030e57cf080c5d72918d153e191b5674905346e0764f1f7bae00/Brose_Website_01.png" data-mid="36694125" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a0c3bd85433030e57cf080c5d72918d153e191b5674905346e0764f1f7bae00/Brose_Website_01.png" /> Part subdivision 1 - The monitors 2 - The primary frame 3 - The outside glass 4 - The inside glass 5 - The interactive surfaces 6 - The light stripe 7 - The secundary frame and bottom monitors <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/beb49de8acbd4b67d48be55789ce83f5ba591e37d4d24d522b2e64f5cc22df31/Aufbau_auere_Bildschirme.png" data-mid="36694519" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/beb49de8acbd4b67d48be55789ce83f5ba591e37d4d24d522b2e64f5cc22df31/Aufbau_auere_Bildschirme.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b172704538130c3019e9d1858bcaddf40de2e6c2eb6b8320792526c6a8c22118/Aufbau_Gestell.png" data-mid="36694521" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b172704538130c3019e9d1858bcaddf40de2e6c2eb6b8320792526c6a8c22118/Aufbau_Gestell.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a1971d2c20b71a9550eb2d0d68e02a7325c479d20d3766107499013241d0185/Aufbau_Glass_extern.png" data-mid="36694522" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a1971d2c20b71a9550eb2d0d68e02a7325c479d20d3766107499013241d0185/Aufbau_Glass_extern.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc0c2419e608967c3b160c1fb201cedb05161fc7319e767926f4603db5d18e30/Aufbau_Glass_intern.png" data-mid="36694523" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc0c2419e608967c3b160c1fb201cedb05161fc7319e767926f4603db5d18e30/Aufbau_Glass_intern.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d62775a49128e2aa7cd2ff72049af2936889eab83ad35e00059d51770cafc1bd/Aufbau_Interne_Bildschirme.png" data-mid="36694524" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d62775a49128e2aa7cd2ff72049af2936889eab83ad35e00059d51770cafc1bd/Aufbau_Interne_Bildschirme.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bca2be335d4727eadfcb8edcaaf97553efc5843be602cf50802be676014649f6/Aufbau_Licht_Streife.png" data-mid="36694525" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bca2be335d4727eadfcb8edcaaf97553efc5843be602cf50802be676014649f6/Aufbau_Licht_Streife.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e433ccd946baa89a8727d5405d935d07a66743719db34fd84cb6909ed8cab95f/Aufbau_sekundaeres_gestell.png" data-mid="36694526" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e433ccd946baa89a8727d5405d935d07a66743719db34fd84cb6909ed8cab95f/Aufbau_sekundaeres_gestell.png" /> The concept is heavily loaded with a provocative component.

In his use of ruins, Robert embodied the notion of the relationship of mankind and the built environment to nature that was expressed by the French philosopher&nbsp; Denis Diderot: “Everything vanishes, everything dies, only time endures.”&nbsp;Those images represent a personal reinterpretation of his outstanding work. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/042c1f4a0f41f5ee15bb5be2c4614cbe15ab715f74306a8797cab21f8a7c8dd6/AT_OUT_07.jpg" data-mid="147513751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/042c1f4a0f41f5ee15bb5be2c4614cbe15ab715f74306a8797cab21f8a7c8dd6/AT_OUT_07.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d16ee14c34be68c21ae4409b86d694a5ca7d50bc0225d140f3452000f26a4926/AT_OUT_23-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513752" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d16ee14c34be68c21ae4409b86d694a5ca7d50bc0225d140f3452000f26a4926/AT_OUT_23-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/51721175e7d63b28d3d6e501d04d9584fe382700f84e01ebc45ba9f9ea9872ff/AT_OUT_24-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513753" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/51721175e7d63b28d3d6e501d04d9584fe382700f84e01ebc45ba9f9ea9872ff/AT_OUT_24-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef276acf011270cde9cd72b22008c2acfce9d4428748ca50ccbe297daf07dff3/AT_OUT_24N-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef276acf011270cde9cd72b22008c2acfce9d4428748ca50ccbe297daf07dff3/AT_OUT_24N-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87fec6ff3924f016d92b3ca395f7b8c6a3f1594cb38800abe67f6f91d7960f3a/AT_OUT_24P-copy-2.jpg" data-mid="147513755" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87fec6ff3924f016d92b3ca395f7b8c6a3f1594cb38800abe67f6f91d7960f3a/AT_OUT_24P-copy-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/566090e74d0eea5ada2c68b92166ad28b51e9357a8f4de9710d3f13ff488de3f/AT_OUT_25-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513756" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/566090e74d0eea5ada2c68b92166ad28b51e9357a8f4de9710d3f13ff488de3f/AT_OUT_25-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f3314eac010cccadf1ba3b8a5a70fe3a1743566285b5dad09f941822028ba1a/AT_OUT_27-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513757" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f3314eac010cccadf1ba3b8a5a70fe3a1743566285b5dad09f941822028ba1a/AT_OUT_27-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/06c748b949069fbf0469c5a26ef52db6169f93a036632f0b03231ddd92c5160b/AT_OUT_05N-copy.jpg" data-mid="147513750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/06c748b949069fbf0469c5a26ef52db6169f93a036632f0b03231ddd92c5160b/AT_OUT_05N-copy.jpg" /> &nbsp;
