Submission #390 | Kiara Koval: AQF 24 — “Nearly two-thirds of the world’s population experiences severe water scarcity during at least one month every year. For this reason, we must strive to educate the population on sustainable resource use. In response, this water extraction facility serves two functions, the provision of clean water, as well as acting as an educational public space. In this concept, the configuration of circuitous forms and permeable thresholds create an open atmosphere with a fluid spatial narrative that encourages movement between spaces".”

May 23 378 / Gregory Rendon Jr: Infill Housing

Submission #378 | Gregory Rendon Jr: Infill Housing — “Located in the historic district of Savannah, Georgia, the objective was to create an apartment complex, garden & carriage house on a corner lot. This project was developed from two main concepts. The primary concept is using a dynamic built-in structure to mold furniture and create unique spacial conditions. The scheme of this design is folding a monolithic plane to serve multiple functions while removing the interpretation of what is a floor, wall, and roof. The second concept is a vertical public space that resides in the interior of the building. Illuminated by a system of skylights from above, this serves as the anchor of the social space while also illuminating the units with natural light through the interior. Materiality was carefully chosen to maintain the urban fabric while introducing a contemporary building.”

Submission #346 | Felix Wilson: Tower III — “Loch of Skene, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A proposal to re-engage the public with a site of natural beauty. The inspiration for the project came from summer work at Loch of Skene, the site of the proposal and having a direct experience of what infrastructure the area lacked. The name comes from the fact it is 3 units based on the classical proportion stacked on top of each other, the roman numerals and ode to antiquity. For an area of such rich biodiversity which supports a vast range of flora and fauna Loch of Skene has little status, let alone public facilities.”

Therefore this area has been chosen to test new ways of heat resources use and mediation proposed in this project of an art school. The site of the project takes space of former district heating system on Coram street next to Brunswick centre and is marked by 40m high concrete chimney, underground Piccadilly line which crosses the site is also used as one of heat resources.”

By understanding the context of US/MEX border area, we have proposed various typologies of excitement park activities as a combination of 3 zoning; sports activities, gathering area and relax area, which we believe they could bring a lot of fun to the border, attract and gather people from both side, creating new community paradigms shift at outskirt.”

Submission #257 | Zahid Ajam: Redrawing East Harlem — “Through analyzing the urban fabric, a block of NYCHA properties seemed to divide East Harlem into two halves. These NYCHA developments follow the model of the tower in the park where the park was intended to become a public social space. Over time it was considered an unsuccessful model since attempting to become everyone’s space, the park became no man’s land as no one took ownership of it.”

Submission #216 | Carlos Esponda: Social Landscape — "The importance of the recuperation, improvement and revitalization of the pedestrian mobility, urban and public spaces is constantly mentioned without considering the human. In most cases the relation and correlation of buildings are more important than the dynamism and interaction of the human in public spaces."

Submission #209 | Kevin Garcia: The Isola Apartments — "The Isola Apartments is a Mixed-Use 104 unit residential project located in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Isola” is an Italian word that is defined as an island or a set of islands, and can most notably be seen through the concept of having two building masses rising from the streets of Salt Lake City. The building and site is designed to react to 3 main site considerations. #1 Providing the area with much needed green and public space. #2 Reacting to the adjacent UTA (Utah Public Transit System) and providing circulation space. #3 Directing occupants towards views of downtown Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Mountain Range."

Submission #205 | Paulina Hurtado: Narrows Pavilion — "Narrows pavilion is a social platform that works as a living organism introducing the subject into a portal that addresses space as the expression of scenery. The pavilion explores the idea of implied functionality. Something that might happen but doesn’t have a fixed definition. For instance, it is a space for exhibitions, but it is not a museum; it is a space with scenographic features for performances, but it is not a theater; it is a space for dinning and social encounter, but it is not a cafe nor a restaurant."

Over the years, this landfill has transformed into a natural landscape with luxuriant vegetation, wildlife, and even beaches."

Submission #149 | Gabriel Gomes, Giulia Chagas, Taissa Assis: Porto 247 — "Located in the revitalized Port Area of io de Janeiro, the land is positioned in an area of any challenges. The first question is memory and heritage, which historic houses give life to a population that has lived there for generations. The second major issue is the uncertain future of the region with all the transformation process that has been taking place in recent years."

May 2 148_Drew Heller: Power Wall

Submission #148 | Drew Heller: Power Wall — "Artwork is no longer to be consumed within a ‘monumental’ time frame, open for a universal public; rather, it elapses with factual time, for an audience ‘summoned’ by the artist” - Nicolas Bourriaud, Relational Aesthetics. The monument has been reborn in contingent form. The historical event no longer exists within universal memory, rather memory is recycled, distorted and produced through transient presents. Public, once a solid, is now liquid and relational. Considering collective identity as relational attaches its production to the friction of bodies."
