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 #318 | Behruz Hairullaev, Brandon Muir and Nicholas LiCausi: Holographic Reality — “For decades, films and media outlets have portrayed holograms as the technology synonymous with the future. 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.”

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.”

Sara Rad: The Allegory of Morality of Mankind in Occupying Spaces — "The project considers Manhattan as a courtyard building not as a city. Manhattan is an island and central park is a huge courtyard, the buildings and towers are extruded to their maximum limit around it. A building that houses the extreme congestion and density in itself. The project talks about the morality of people; the way people occupy lands and spaces. The way they define their habitats and their cities."
