Submission #269 | Gary Polk: Ambivalent Object VI: Gigantic — “From Ptolemy to the Pixies, humans find both fascination and fear in the gigantic. Ironically, little attention has been paid to the form and shape of data centers, Iceland’s newest rapidly developing crop, which often combines geothermal dynamics with information architecture to be housed in gigantic volumes.”
Submission #262 | Claudio Triassi: Recycling Past Architectural Ideas and Forms — “My illustrations reflect the contemporary architectural drawing tendency to look for its emotional strength in past iconography. They use past architectural ideas and forms to catch their charm offering an anachronistic spatial and temporal dimension and questioning at the same time their validity nowadays. As a result of it, they are in ruins sometimes.”
Submission #247 | Lambert David: Refuge-ground — “Thanks to this new architectural concept, 25,000 shelters have been built on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, giving shape to a network of habitable offshore salt platforms raised above sea level. These human groups are gradually reconquering abandoned sectors, sheltering new forms of lacustrine societies, allowing life to emancipate in this vast salt water ecosystem.”
