Description:
|
|
Inaugural project of the Norman Foster Foundation, the droneport project is an attempt to improve health and economic outcomes in Africa by delivering medical supplies to inaccessible areas. Red Line is a cargo drone route for medical and emergency use in Africa and other emerging economies, founded by Afrotech-EPFL director Jonathan Ledgard. To accomplish its mission, Red Line supports the development of cargo drones, droneport infrastructure, logistics, and regulations. The full-scale earthen masonry shell (a concatenated vault) built outside the Arsenale is a prototype for a project in Rwanda. The objective is to make the design available as a "kit-of-parts" with a construction manual for the safe, efficient and repeatable construction of droneport modules by local workers using primarily local resources. The primary material will be "DuraBric", which is a naturally cured (non-fired) building block made of compressed earth and cement.
