Submission #372 | Mümün Keser: nGoth — “The project was designed for the "Garbage City" in Manshiyat Naser, Cairo. The entire area is filled with semi-finished buildings based on the Dom-Ino typology of Le Corbusier. It is like a living organism that grows up one-dimensionally when more space is needed. Nevertheless, there are a lot of infrastructural and ecological problems.”
Submission #361 | Renzo Lopez: Plug-In City 2.0 — “The tower located in Skid Row Los Angeles is composed of 220 unit berths and is populated by a series of hour based deployable housing and office/work modules which allow the user to only pay for the direct amount of time being occupied. Within this system, the original otherwise fixed 220 unit berths are given a double occupancy throughout the cycle of a single day.”
Submission #342 | Renzo Lopez and Richard Jaffe: Sensorial Ambiguity — “Despite this long running inequality of marketing and promotion, during the 2016 Rio Olympic season the Paralympics broke worldwide audience records by eclipsing the audience of the main, heavily marketed Olympics by 500 million worldwide viewers to reach a total audience of 4.1 billion. Given this condition along with the hidden, underappreciated nature of the Paralympics, it is the goal of this Project to create a spatial experience which will promote and enhance the public perception of Paralympic athletes.”

From darkness to light, from disruption to tranquility. TOWARD THE LIGHT pavilion features a long path that starts with an uncomfortable dim, tall and thin entrance to emulate the effect of war and gradually widen and shorten in height to eventually become a serene comfortable contemplation space that emulates peace and calmness.”

This is the name given to the region of four valleys in the central part of the Mexican territory, which not only contains Mexico City but also other federal states. To study it properly distinct binomials that create city were assigned: water, landscape, urban and infrastructure. Our project studies the binomial of water and landscape, understanding the effect of the ever-growing metropoli against what used to be the dominant natural environment.
Renzo Lopez: Miami Beach Digital Learning Gallery — The new Miami Beach Lincoln road Branch Library is a duality between the closed, rigid, and pragmatic nature implicit with storing printed information along with the open ended, ever expanding nature of digital information. This duality transforms the modern library into a relevant and revitalized public building which explores and pays homage to digital information.
Jorge Olano: Gardeniers Oliver — The old school Ramon J. Sender is rehabilitated as school gardening for ATADES association, and as a space available to neighborhood activities.
