326_Zoe Russian Moreno: Ka' Poy Yepü

Submission #326 | Zoe Russian Moreno: Ka' Poy Yepü — “Canaima National Park - Venezuela, is one of the largest natural reserves on the planet and possess definitive characters that differentiate it from other natural reservoirs. It’s soil dates back to the Precambrian period, between 1.5 million to 2 billion years old; which makes it one of the most ancient rock formations in the world's geochronology. These unique formations called “Tepuis” are a kind of table-top mountains with 90-degree vertical walls.”

313_Iago Blanco and Daniel Valle: Water Pavilion

Submission #313 | Iago Blanco and Daniel Valle: Water Pavilion — “The proposal for the Water Pavilion explores various water principles and the translation into an architectural experience. The notion of fluidity, buoyancy and constant change are principles for our proposal. The pavilion stands between a submerged and emerged level –as submarines do- defining a sensible state of equilibrium between dry and wet.”

211_Celdin Fajardo: L-Nergy

Submission #211 | Celdin Fajardo: L-Nergy — "The aim of this project is to develop a material health monitoring system and demonstrate its capability to qualitatively and quantitatively assesses the performance of material in service. Light, Sound, and thermal that can detect and access the health of a user and improve life-threatening illnesses."

186_Munjer Hashim: Plant 34

Submission #186 | Munjer Hashim: Plant 34 — Plant 34 is a project which takes on the real-world scenario of drought and future water shortage that is a current issue in New York State and creates a hybrid program which solves the issues conceptually. The project argues that in the future, an increase in population and yearly droughts will place such a strain on the current water reserves, that the need for other sources of water within Manhattan must be established.

157_Jack Oliva-Rendler: Apparatus for Technical Logic in Analytic Structures 

Submission #157 | Jack Oliva-Rendler: Apparatus for Technical Logic in Analytic Structures — Apparatus for Technical Logic in Analytic Structures :Along a strata, giving access to diverse and ecological contexts, infrastructure is explored in its capacity to give structure to the creative and analytic processes involved in the creation of our built environment. Infrastructure is proposed as being responsible for physical and environmental systems, as well as informational infrastructures that give coordination between multiple layers of our built environment in itself, and the cognitive processes that create our built environment.

108_Matthew Bohne: Iceland Resolution, The View from Nowhere

Submission #108 | Matthew Bohne: Iceland Resolution, The View from Nowhere — In Iceland, 99% of electricity is produced from renewable resources. To meet the demand for commercial energy consumption, several experimental forms of energy production have been developed. This has accelerated the encounter with new dissolved solids, toxic metals, and corrosive gasses. The “beasts” or dýrið, as they are referred to by locals, are gaseous excretion systems that move across the terrain assisting with the substantial underground operations.
