ARQcal

What is ARQ?
ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) is a concept in communication engineering that ensures accuracy in data transmission. Whenever an error is detected during transmission, the data is resent to ensure the final message is delivered flawlessly. This idea is based on the principles of review, error correction, and repetition until achieving perfection.
Translating ARQ into Architecture and the Philosophy of ARQcal
The ARQcal project creatively and poetically integrates this technological concept into architecture. Just as ARQ emphasizes correction and repetition, the design process of this project involved continuous review, adaptation, and refinement to strike a balance between form, functionality, and the environment. The boomerang-shaped, continuous form of the project reflects the idea of return and an infinite cycle where each design element is carefully revisited to achieve excellence.
The cantilevers of the project act as tangible representations of this philosophy. The larger cantilever, extending toward the Mesha Valley, symbolizes “transmission,” offering unparalleled views of nature. Meanwhile, the smaller cantilever represents “review” and repetition, complementing the movement and harmonizing the interaction between form and environment. This process mirrors the function of ARQ, where messages are reviewed and errors are eliminated.
Error Correction and Interaction with the Environment:
One of the conceptual applications of ARQ in the project is its precise and optimized interaction with the surrounding environment. The cantilevers are designed to maintain the privacy of neighboring properties while providing controlled and desirable views of the Mesha Valley. This correction of potential visual “errors” directly embodies the principles of review and adaptation in design.
Continuity and the Cyclical Nature of the Form:
The boomerang-shaped form of the project embodies the sense of return and flow. This continuity is not only visual but also functional, creating seamless connections between interior and exterior spaces. The repetitive and cyclical nature of ARQ is translated into architecture, becoming both a visual and functional element.
Structure as a Reflection of ARQ Philosophy:
The structure of the project acts as an extension of its visual identity. The exposed structural elements, beyond providing stability, reinforce the philosophy of repetition and continuity. They not only ground the architecture but also create a visual and conceptual link between form, function, and nature.
Conclusion:
Inspired by the concept of ARQ, the ARQcal project adopts a process of review and correction as its core philosophy. The continuous form, interactive cantilevers, and structure that serves both functional and conceptual purposes all reflect the spirit of ARQ. This project, while offering a modern residential experience, tells a story of repetition, review, and balance in architecture.
