alabaster ICON + ART + MOOD
Alabaster is a project that showcases the most important art shows in the United States. It hosts special parties, and exhibitions. It is a cultural and social highlight for the citizens. The project is located in the State of Arizona directed by five investors. Vitra and Taschen are main investors mainly because are known for their high standards and creativity. The SENSIBILITY of the project is an environment filled with colors and textures that evoke a range of moods, desires, and feelings. This is a great place to introduce various styles of art and emotions they are evoking.
The story begins somewhere off the highway in Arizona...

ARTIFICIAL ECOSYSTEMS
Chicago’s shoreline, stretching from Evanston on the north to the Indiana border onsomewhere the South,off comprises 30 miles of lakefront since the City’s incorporation the highway in Arizona in the 1820’s. 26 of the 30 miles have been developed as a public lakefront park system, unrivaled for its beauty and accessibility. Artificial Archipelago, an ECOLOGY project comprises a series of A-all and Iceberg shaped islands that extended the public landscape of the Lakefront by multiplying the extent of natural habits and creating a more accessible space with wide range of recreational, educational, cultural activities for Chicagoans of all ages. Islands are arranged in five clusters: Urban cluster, Lakefront cluster, Interior cluster, Boat cluster, and Deep cluster. Program is scattered among the islands that are linked by a continuous floating base platform and include: educational programs such as research centers, recreational programs and cultural institutions. Island’s program not only offers activities across the seasons which many of the lake front parks are not able to do. The islands also provide indoor and roof gardens with wide range of non-native habitats such as desert climate like plants, to temperate climate.

Alcohol Distillation Tower
The concept of the project derived from the scorpion’s studies with the main focus on the hard and soft textures as well as scorpion’s sensory hairs which detect temperature changes and certain environmental information which help scorpions to survive. All those elements developed the concept of a distillery. The form is very smooth and organic and the façade is covered with hundreds of pipes which are also a part of the distillation process. The pipes change its color when the temperature increases or decreases making the project’s FRAMEWORK a peculiar scene for a viewers.

“red ribbon” Instructor: Bruno Ast - ARCH 465 - Fall 2011
red ribbon Red Ribbon’s conceptual idea is to reinforce the relationship between the progaram and circulation. The form of the project contains four stacked and shifted floors and continuous circulation that passed through each program and connects to them individually, however, still maintaining the binding effect. Red Ribbon is a multi-use project, HYBRID, composed of commercial, office, and residential program. There is also additional component – “green wall” which is acting as urban boundary yet still providing a human qualities such as relief, calmness, and light – to each of the functional spaces bordering on this wall.

The ambition of this project is to propose the study of curvature as the main focus. Our research compared two major curve types: the “catenary” (Loosely) and the “Bezier” (Tightly) curve which is developed in this project. The studies of the Bezier Curve will lead to the creation of a COMPOUND which manipulated in number of ways such as mirroring or rotating will create a final canopy system for the City Market. Our site is described by a set of bounding edges: River, at grade train tracks, elevated train tracks, the street, and the surrounding buildings. The project is interested in addressing how the canopy system will meet those edges. It is a requirement of the site that 30% (16,350.00sf) of its net area be left un-built and reserved for future development or park area.
