Submission #385 | Staś Gulkowski and Burcu Doğruyol: HOME — “During these unprecedented times, for the first time, we all share a similar experience of adjusting to the new realities of our everyday life. We are used to expanding our world through exploring the city around us, taking part in the collective activities that are going on in it, or simply getting to know people in the community. Contrarily, today’s conditions require us to sustain our needs and pleasures within the walls of our house. Being limited by these boundaries as well as transforming that limitation into countless opportunities is part of the experience.”

Submission #374 | Aidan Crossey: [New] York — “[New] York revisits the idea of an urban fabric and context as a platform for storytelling and atmosphere creation/development though a “speculative” urban design. Occurring in Lower Manhattan, [New] York re-frames the ideas of Archigram’s plug-in and walking city through a kinetic architecture that tends to the cities needs. The machine, residing in a fantastical projection of Manhattan, directly and indirectly, interacts with the urban fabric through three programmatic infrastructural moments: advertising, refueling, and a theater. “

Submission #369 | Osman Ural: A New "Square Deal": For the "Soul" of East Harlem's Social Housing Projects — “The location of the proposal is in East Harlem, a project called the King Towers. This neighborhood has major issues with crime, air quality, and poverty, all while existing at the corner of Central Park - literally the spatial realization of social inequality. The site has a repetitive tower typology that is typical of NYC social housing, and therefore could act as a blueprint for other projects in the city. The single large public space also makes a proposal more flexible to implement.”

Submission #328 | Fariz Azahar: Living Monument: Sentient City for a Post-Socialist Proletariat — “There was a time when humans longed for absolute unification, terminating class antagonism and campaigning for social status emancipation. A series of liberating acts hurled by a revolutionary society who fought in the name of equality, in both powers and rights. Overcoming global metamorphosis, they prevailed and implemented a new fundamental in the social system through methodology of horizontal society, an antithesis to the patriarchal governing system that has been second nature to men since the primordial times.”

Through advancements, scientists and designers alike have been able to create scattering lights that create forms, but only at a small scale. As of now, we have three-dimensional viewings through two-dimensional screens.”

After the war, the monument was once again taken back by the Czech people and used as a museum. The isolated and unused monument remains an unpleasant reminder of the history the Czech people have faced.”
