Submission #388 | Arian Saghafifar and Ali Sader: Deira Urban Market — “Understanding the Urban Market: Urban agriculture is a social movement for sustainable communities, where organic growers, foodies, and locavores form social networks founded on a shared ethos of nature and community. Many people are looking for food security, nutrition, and income generation which are key motivations for urban agriculture and local markets.”
Submission #163 | Deborah Garcia; SCI-Arc: This Is Not Your Thing — All museums construct ideal paths through a collection of objects, and construct particular ways of seeing. This cultural phenomenon of viewing art in such specifi c ways is a clear remnant of a longer history of cultural consumption laden with the rituals and decorum of an out-dated dialectic betwen the museum and architecture, between art and its container.
Submission #107 | Houman Khosravi: Music for Housing — "The first exercise of of the semester was to craft a conceptual construct based on design intuition as well as my preconceived notions and views of London. Using mechanical found objects, I created three scenarios to build off of, each would become its own construct."
Pankhuri Malhotra: Muwaileh Public Library — This project aimed at introducing a new construct into the urban fabric of an otherwise mundane setting. Since each building on the given site followed the same typology, my approach was to ensure that the visitors of the library enjoyed an internalised experience and this was achieved by using perforated bricks.
