Submission #367 | Mateo Mantilla: THE BRANCH — “ The corner of Congress & Drayton St. (Savannah, GA) served as a parking lot located next to BB&T. The emptiness of this space made the surrounding buildings considerably bigger and heavier which made this side of Johnson Square a very uncomfortable place to be. The contrast between the lightness and comfort in the square and the heaviness of the site inspired this project, which has the intention to unify the opposing concepts of heaviness and lightness through its architecture and materiality.”

Submission #136 | Catalina Guerra: Comme des Garçons Boutique — "The concept that has led the design of this project is the ambiguity between the interior and the exterior objects. The ambivalent volume is created by the juxtaposition of the spaces created by the different objects. The super-component composite shell, as well as interior objects, ground condition, and articulation/tattoo work together to create the overall shape, but at the same time, they work against each other, creating uncertainty regarding the parts that integrate the discrete object provoking a sense of mysterious depth beyond the superficial qualities.

Submission #134 | José María Rodríguez: A New Plant Store in Tokyo — "Mr. Sato is a widowed man of 60 years. He worked as a lawyer until a few months ago, when he decided to retire. However, his whole life was a passionate for plants. "It's time to build my dream," he told me.  Mr. Sato wants to meet people with the same interest. He wishes to offer them different spaces where they can share. He needs to live surrounded by those natural beings that make him happy."
