The City of Sublime Summits. A Manual for Post-Outburst Assemblage in the Andes

The city of the sublime summits, is a city that takes advantage of the robust power of water, a city that creates trenches in order to allow water to go to every single point of the project. A sublime by monstrosity and scale series of braided towers that allow he who transits it a protected perspective. A polis that constructs landscape on a landscape, mountain ranges on mountain ranges. The city of the sublime summits needs disaster to densify itself, it needs the transfer of material to increase its own summits.In the case of Huaraz, we can also see the result of the disjunctive synthesis in the three densities: Postdisastrocester, Postdisastroburgh and Postdisastropolis. The sequence of the disaster operates in a trans-scalar way, at the moment when the flood due to the collapse of a glacier approaches the site, the land organisms, which in equilibrium act as forest generators, begin to distribute the water in their own bifurcations and transfer all the material that the flood brings from the valley: mud, trees, stone. In parallel, air and fire organisms direct the human movement above the zero level. As we zoom in, we see how the chaos of a flood is absorbed by a chaos of organisms that mitigate the disaster.

Finally, we can observe a visualization of the city in the far from equilibrium state. The relationship between the new water channels that organize the city and give rise to rock summits. The disjunctive synthesis works as a step by step interplay between each organism with the other. First, earth organisms trim water organisms. Second, earth organisms split the tower’s plinth, maintaining the top, generating twisted braided towers. Then, water organisms pierce the towers. Again, air organisms parasite the towers. The air and earth organisms create the high passes, some allow air to go through, some work as deviators.In this way, as the earth organism organizes a new topography generating a park where there will be water, the rest of the organisms are thermodynamically maximized to begin to generate a simulacrum of the mountainous logics of the Andes Mountains.

The organisms relate to each other only when in contact. Earth trenches always split the radiation towers. Water organisms always create tunnels in the organisms plinth. The air organisms when in contact with the radiation tower parasites the latter creating a striated tower. Air and earth organisms create high passes of thermodynamic performativity. Water organisms split air organisms. The strata, code, territorialization and organisms are divided into each element. The earth strata works with the topography, it analyzes the height differences. The code, imposes to the contours the course of the river.  The territorialization and organisms are understood as arms that deviate the main water course once far from equilibrium.The air strata express vectors in the predominant wind direction. The code, imposes a grid rotated to the direction of wind. The territorialization varies the sizes of the organisms according to the volume of moving air. The Fire code striates the sun exposure map with a rotated grid and the territorialization creates a series of varying twisting towers that go from smaller to larger depending on the values of radiation. The water strata evaluate the water flows.
