Prototype Droneport Shell
The Proposal of Droneports for Africa: Architecture and infrastructure at the same time.
(…) Norman Foster explored the idea of a port architecture that is modular (as many bays as are needed), flexible (able to grow if demand changes), uses local materials (compressed clay or mud bricks), and is sufficiently generic that, if need be, it can be used for many other programs (market, community center, covered square). Such are the specific contributions of the right architectural choice in order to make the building really serve the community over time.
