Resumen: During the second weekend in May 2012, a group of students from Alicante University (Degree in Architecture), built a geodesic dome for the on-site laboratory to achieve the precise humidity and temperature values needed for the fragance of “galan de noche”, a backyard bush that can be enjoyed during the warm summer nights. This performance was part of a set of designs to improve and recover natural and cultural site conditions, developed during a cycle of 24 hours for a couple of guests (near the river side walk in Murcia’s orchard) working together with multidisciplinary group HuertaBizarra. As the natural day can be divided into little time periods, some of the assignments would be referred to the awakening or the twilight, relax or sport, “siesta” or playtime, breakfast or tea time. Cartographies, models and tests were previously needed. Each category will be exemplified in this paper. In this context, some helpful academic backgrounds would be Philippe Rahm’s depictions (i.e. “Digestible gulf stream”); Buckminster Fuller’s workshops (in Black Mountain College); Olafur Eliasson’s performances (“the Mediated Motion”; and Frei Otto’s models about the unaffordable (Stuttgart Spinnerzentrum). The main performance would need a geodesic dome with a typical orchard cottage. “Arduino” hardware would be used to control the environmental data, in which some volunteers’ body heat and the breathing steam would be monitorized and expelled towards the cottage. Following with the scheduled time-table, in a place in which muddy ground had previously been improved with interlaced hurdle, a little shed would be placed as a tribute to Frei Otto’s pedestrian bridges, a nice cover to have breakfast near some fishmen. Half a year would be time enough to map, synchronize, test and perform a collection of little architectural services in a real context for real persons, as an attempt to demonstrate architecture as an environmental device, more a tool to interact than a product, and convinced that this exploration opens the scope for future scenarios.
