Cellular Complexity - Winning exhibition design for the 2014 2x8 exhibit by Julia Körner, Marie Boltenstern and Kais Al-Rawi
Körner, Boltenstern and Rawi's proposal for the exhibition design
resulted from their ongoing research into complex cellular systems. The
team investigates the potential of porous and cellular systems within an
architectural context with special focus on efficient structural
capabilities and passive performative qualities. Their aim is to
assimilate these qualities into a single architectural system which
responds to given programmatic conditions.
Project 2XmT by Christopher Romano, Nicholas Bruscia
Project 2XmT with a great many votes and a clearly developed working model, the entry was selected without much deliberation with just a few comments, one from Randy Stratman, “from a practicality standpoint it looks like they are pretty far along. It looks like they already have a mockup. I’m a big fan of how small undulations or changing panels really have a dramatic impact from the viewing standpoint moving around the building”. And a second one from Skylar Tibbits, “it’s the one most in line with the brief. I’m not sure if it’s the most novel, we’ve seen a lot of folded aluminum projects recently. Its super clean, well done and it looks like they are pretty far along in the process”.
Cellular Complexity by Kais Al-Rawi, Julia Koerner, Marie Boltenstern
Next Cellular Complexity (previously featured on Bustler) was put forth as Gregg Pasquarelli outlined its very interesting formal potential, though with reservations about its ability to serve as a building façade, seconded by Randy Stratman, who commented “what actually does produce the exterior or if its just a porous geometry”.
Zaha Hadid Architecture & BVN Architecture
Our proposal weaves together the history of the station with a potent new form creating a new public place for the future, resolving the functional challenges and celebrating the grandeur of travel.
B+U’s Animated Apertures to be featured at the ArchiLab 2013 exhibition
Staying true to nature as possible, Herwig Baumgartner and Scott Uriu
designed Animated Apertures to be "an interactive and intelligent
building organism" as opposed to digitalized congruity. And that idea is
clearly conveyed with the structure's biomorphic forms and natural
color palette. A large scale model, drawings, renderings and an
animation of the housing tower will be displayed at the exhibit.
Vertical Ground
The “Vertical Ground” project reexamines the “norm” for the organization of college campuses. Students today want proximity to the culture, activities and networks available in urban settings, but typical campuses are horizontally oriented and require large swaths of land for development, which are increasingly rare in desirable urban areas.
Occupy Skyscraper
Moved by the economic disparity in the United States brought to light by the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement, the designers of the Occupy Skyscraper propose creating a building that can further empower protesters and accelerate the Occupy movement.
