Semester 1 -MarketAmazon Fulfillment Centre, Tilbury, U.K. Warehouse Conveyor
Amazon Tilbury The Amazon fulfillment center is 1.1 miles away from the port of Tilbury where it is situated at the west of London. They are acknowledged as the biggest building in both the UK and Europe. The centre is surrounded by agricultural lands signifying a room with four walls, like ramparts endeavoring in guarding the center of its empire, claiming a territory of its own.
Conveyor in the warehouses and fulfillment centres often serves as a cross-territorial device, fetching goods from department to department.

Release zone in Amazon-conveyor facilitates the logistics of goods to the release zone to be dispatched (commodification of desire)
Logistics across departments and across stages in production.
Semester 1 -TheatreMillennium dome, O2 Arena, London Support tower
Millennium dome Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in South East London, the dome is one of the largest of its type in the world. It appears as a large white marquee with twelve 100 m-high yellow support towers, one for each month of the year, or each hour of the clock face, representing the role played by Greenwich Mean Time. Its exterior is reminiscent of the Dome of Discovery built for the Festival of Britain in 1951. The canopy is made of PTFE-coated glass fibre fabric, a durable and weather-resistant plastic, and is 52 m high in the middle – one metre for each week of the year. Its symmetry is interrupted by a hole through which a ventilation shaft from the Blackwall Tunnel rises.

Semester 1 -CityNew Babylon, Constant Nieuwenhuys Foundation footing (Unseen)
New babylon An anti-capitalist city perceived and designed as a future potentiality by visual artist Constant Nieuwenhuys to create alternative life experiences. The bourgeois shackles of work, family life, and civic responsibility would be discarded; instead the residents would wander from one leisure environment to another in search of new sensations as self-fulfillment and self-satisfaction are the social goals. New babylon is imagined to be a series of linked transformable structures, some of which were about the size of a city. The megastructures perch above the ground, with the bourgeois metropolis sitting below.

Royal Saltworks The Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains was active for at least 1200 years until stopping activity in 1962. From 1780 to 1895, its salt water travelled through 21 km of wood pipes to the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans. The aqueduct followed a route along the valley of the Furieuse to its junction with the Loue River, and thence along the Loue until it reached the graduation building of the new saline. When it reached the environs of the saline, on the opposite bank of the Loue River, the aqueduct tunneled beneath the river to join the basin under the graduation building. Water lifting mechanisms, powered by the waterwheels turned by the canal de graduation, raised the salt water to the top of the graduation building, whence it trickled down over the bundled fir twigs to be preevaporated by the air before being delivered to the reservoirs.
Reference Graduation building in Poland and ancient water lifting mechanisms.
Graduation building that extracts brine from the basin for preevaporation process in order to increase the concentration of the brine (commodification of nature).

Most of the columns in the building are reusing recycled steel columns as the project practices DFD (design for disassembly) and cradle-to-cradle design principles, so wherever columns longer than 6 meter* are needed, splice joint is utilised to combine the columns. *recycled steel columns are 6 meter in general
