346 / Felix Wilson: Tower III

Sep 7 346 / Felix Wilson: Tower III

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.”

Aug 17 343 / Kyle Troyer: Postdigital Mishaps

Submission #343 | Kyle Troyer: Postdigital Mishaps — “The result is a project that remains sensible to computation as an inescapable part of our reality. It explores the irresponsibilities of photogrammetry, texture mapping, and insertion of materiality in today's postdigital world. It plays with the current recognition of our true state of the digital, and exaggerates it similar to how the Baroque interpreted the Renaissance. Images of Borromini's San Carlo Quattro Fontane are photo-mapped in incorrect ways and given physical artifact to trace the consequences of the image's presence throughout the design.”

Aug 17 342 / Renzo Lopez and Richard Jaffe: Sensorial Ambiguity

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.”

Aug 10 341 / Esraa Abu El Rub: INVASION

Submission #341 | Esraa Abu El Rub: INVASION — “Invasion is a mixed used development above E11 highway that bridges the gap in the city that occurred due to the highway. Hence, the concept approach of the project is to enhance walkability in the neighborhood by following the Flow of pedestrians traveling between the different gathering points. However, the Flow is simulated using Swarm Technology, and the form of the project has followed its lines. Invasion aims to create an urban hub in the city with a dense program that attracts people with different interests.”

Jul 31 337 / Ireny Abrahim: MWO (Multi Worker's Occupancy)

Submission #337 | Ireny Abrahim: MWO (Multi Worker's Occupancy) — “This studio was about Home Economics, understanding housing in different scales. This housing project focused on worker's housing by understanding the current living conditions in a worker's household. In the current state of a worker's housing around the world, workers feel forced to live within their work sites. This creates a segregation between low and high income workers. Within San Francisco, being one of the most expensive cities in the world, especially in the SoMa district most workers are either migrant or immigrants who live where they work.”

Submission #336 | Samira Chahine: Design Before Decline — “Throughout years, education has always been considered as one of the most crucial stages of human’s life cycle. Good schools and education environment would be the key to the social and economic development of a place through preparing the future human resources. In other words, how can we expand our society and improve it if we cannot dilate our own minds?”

Jul 24 333 / Dan Whelan: The Arc

Submission #333 | Dan Whelan: The Arc — “Rapid urban growth and growing inequality has created a global crisis in housing that increasingly segregates the rich from the poor. Though not fully understood, there is a clear and parallel relationship between the size of a city and its level of socio-economic disparity: the larger the city, the less equal it tends to be. Physical and social segregation, which both reflects and perpetuates socio-economic disparity within a city, is a growing concern in cities worldwide – including Mumbai.”

The restored fort provides a space of transition between the natural landscape and the inner space of the chapel while providing panoramic views across the entire site. Within the chapel spaces are enclosed, intimate and spiritual in nature, inviting visitors to take a moment for introspection and quiet contemplation.”

Jul 10 328_Fariz Azahar: Living Monument

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.”

Submission #327 | Matteo Gawlak and Micol Zucchini: u_Tube — “Buynet city, 2030. Never before man has been so explicitly recognized as the true protagonist and placed with determination at the center of the purchase, linked only on shopping online. Subject and object at the same time of a philosophical and almost metaphysical research about his place and his role in the buying network.”

These unique formations called “Tepuis” are a kind of table-top mountains with 90-degree vertical walls.”

Jun 28 325_Dan Whelan: Sanctuary for the Harrowed

Submission #325 | Dan Whelan: Sanctuary for the Harrowed — “Since the beginning of human existence, people have been crafting spaces to house the processes of life and the inevitable event of death. These spaces range from monumental to economical, and display a vast array of cultural indicators, such as status and religion. While extremely diverse across the globe and universally significant, this typology has experienced less evolution through the centuries as its primary purpose of housing the dead has gone unchanged.”
