SCOTTISH THERMAL THEATER

by Georgios Malliaropoulos

'' Loch Ness Heat Exchange & Warm Theatre'' - focuses on Computational Fluid Dynamic tests and geometrical adaptability for excess heat visualization and climatic adaptability. Throughout the heat investigation of the north sea movement and the radiation inputs of the sun affecting areas with excess heat, the project is a response towards those areas, with a vision to produce structures responsive to the weather conditions and protect the natural reserves of Dores and the native woodland. The theatre sits in the heart of Dores, a small town in the heart of the Loch Ness lake, who’s natural reserves are constantly threatened by the heat expansion and excess heat in the area. The theatre is a podium to an act that is detached from the anthropocentric nature. Its responsive to heat roof contains a controlled amount of wax, which is constantly heated by the sun radiation and the excess temperatures that keep rising. As a response, the wax is gradually converting its state from solid to liquid, and eventually melting on the stage, constituting the material as the main actor in a play directed by the emerging thermal domains and climate change of the site, the county, and the world.
