TEAM 1


We are not architects, we are simply designers and artists who look at design from unique perspectives with the common goal of creating the best quality work possible. Attention to detail has been a key to our success. As a small firm, we take on only select projects and place emphasis on originality and staying true to our unique style. We describe our design as subtropical modernism. We have a multifaceted, fresh approach to design with the end result being a minimal modern style that is warm, functional and above all bold and honest. Our design philosophy incorporates clean lines, proper scale, attention to detail, and the use of natural materials in a modern context. We think of plants as sculpture, so we put the emphasis on native palms and trees, and less on groundcovers and shrubs.

FROM BINARY OPPOSITIONS TO POSITIVE DIALECTICS — Mission of the Studio

The cost of real estate, fast track schedules, and limited construction has created a demand in the United States for easily digestible definitions. Similar to binary operations in computing (1 or 0, then next), the binary oppositions (either/or) approach suits quick response projects that reduce architecture to either exterior or interior, either commercial or residential, either high end or affordable, either a backdrop or a showcase. We are not satisfied with either/or solutions. We believe architecture is a result of compromise, collaboration, cooperation, co-opting, combining, compiling and coalescing. Our approach is to dwell critically on this process. Our practice aims for exploration over reduction. We want to replace dualism (vs.) with dialectics (+) that will not only expand our field but provide richer work. We treat each project as a unique set of circumstances and opportunities. Our process is to question easily digestible and quickly decidable options, and create a new ground for negations and positive dialectics. In our projects, we transform the versus through a process that joins, enfolds, wraps, fills, interprets, composes, or informs these opposites toward a more dynamic relationship. The result is architecture of layered meaning and experience rather than one of expediency and exclusion. Projects on the following pages represent these ideas, whether pushing boundaries of a conventional material with new technologies, or implementing an exterior façade inside a store to underline the voyeuristic experience in a city, or using conventional materials to create computational structures for a pavilion.

West Village Terrace — Program: Residential Status: Completed 2006

1,200 sf. are conceived as a continuation of the living room and kitchen. Made with IPE wood boards, the deck bends to accommodate different functions, such as sitting areas and fireplace, as well as creating a continuous landscape. The terrace also features a translucent glass/light sculpture, with a cut out which functions as a water fountain.

Terrace

Garden Interior

Terrace

Garden

The West Village Townhouse’s 800sf back garden material palette creates a continuation between old and new. The perimeter brick wall extends from the existing façade but folds and bends to create a waterfall. The brick pavement at the ground disappears into the garden as the layout of the brick pavers slacken to create spaces for vegetation. At the 900sf rooftop, a glass and metal skin runs parallel to the existing bulkhead, expanding the space in between to create a rooftop pavilion. The pavilion divides the rooftop into two main areas; brick pavement for entertaining and a green roof. Custom metal panels fold to create the kitchen. The same formal language in the panels is used to create outdoor furniture.

Design Within Reach/57th Street — Program: Retail Status: Completed 2014

The 20,000 sf store occupies four floors. A play on the voyeuristic experience one has living in NYC, the design incorporates a two-story duplex inside of the store. To create impact, a floating red box is placed above the entrance, providing a 24’ ceiling height at the ground floor, also creating a strong brand identity on the street level.

Steam Pop

— Program: Temporary Pavilion Status: Competition 2014

PVC pipes and translucent fabric are used for the principle materials of the design. Bending adds tension and strength for the structure, and repetition of the form creates three distinctive pavilion forms to accommodate various events throughout the site: Pavilion 1- Performance Space/Viewing Pavilion 2- Vendor/Bourbon Tasting Pavilion 3- Info Booth/Exhibition Space

Exterior Elements — Fire Island Gate 2007 19th Street Rooftop 2011

Fire Island Gate A gate and front deck was designed for a summer house on Fire Island, NY. The fluid form of the design underlines it’s quality. It starts from the ground as a box to accommodate garbage cans, then slightly bends towards the property to encourage entrance. While ascending in elevation it cantilevers over the door.

19th Street Rooftop A custom stairwell and bulkhead were designed to maximize the space of this duplex and to connect the living spaces with the rooftop. To more efficiently connect the three levels, a continuous stair was developed. The path to the stair culminates at the rooftop, where it informs the shape of the stainless steel bulkhead and canopy.

TEAM 5


A Mexican based multidisciplinary architecture firm founded in 1990. The firm has completed more than 200 projects in Mexico and the United States. Our practice is locally notorious due to our commitment to quality design and construction. We have experience in a wide range of building typologies, from civic and cultural buildings, to private houses and curatorial design. The philosophy of the firm is creating an architecture that balances form and function, recognizing and adapting to the context and client necessities. The design process has no preestablished formulas, as we develop each project to meet particular needs, attempting to solve problems through a combination of creativity and technical skills. Craftsmanship is crucial throughout all stages of design and construction. On 2009, the firm founded a major design festival in Mexico City. This is an annual event that celebrates, encourages and presents Mexican architecture and design to the local and international community.

We look forward an architectural , and urban design that is fully linked to the current and changing needs of contemporary people lifestyles . We believe that to meet today’s challenges we must break with present ineffective patterns in order to create a better physical solutions as well as an innovative architectural design to achieve integration with the city , society and culture to the site where it is inserted . The context is our main inspiration and starting point to create new architecture. An architecture that relates with the place and the people that lives in it. Not leaving by side the historical process and transformations of the place but by creating an aesthetic reinterpretation of the elements that identify the place with the past, the present and the future. Our methodology is based on the study of each case to give unique solutions. We use collaborative work between different specialists such as: engineers , builders, financials , industrial designers, landscape architects, graphic designers , artists, etc; representing a multidisciplinary firm that manages , designs and builds their own work.

TEAM 7


our design philosophy What our team stands for is that a development, as a whole, will increase in value by uplifting: 1. the society; through sustainable livability solutions 2. the neighborhood’s economy; through sustainable economical solutions 3. the quality of the built environment; through sustainable physical solutions For this project, this approach will not result in ‘just design’ but in a well functioning, sustainable public space, fit for the Miami climate. Because of this, residents and entrepreneurs will feel ownership of the park. The built environment will benefit immensely, along with the general quality of life. The park will add to real estate value and the sustainability of this increased value. To make this work, the park should be well connected to its surroundings and to main infrastructure such as Miami Ave. Ideally we would design the site with the stakeholders and entrepreneurs of Wynwood. In a competition this is not easy, but we have a good impression of the vitality of the area and will profit from our international experience and our multidisciplinary team. Our design will be adaptable to the needs of the users. Livable streets and good public realm design are core values of our work. We are familiar with the Miami climate and its demands on public space. The green quality the city is renowned for in Coconut Grove and Coral Gables is an inspiration: here we can grow a lush garden, not only for the eye but also for the mouth, nose and ears. A place for food, music, meeting and enjoying. A garden of delight, a garden of the senses.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Architecture is a way of organizing space while meeting practical demands. In our practice there is a belief that this problem solving and creation can result in a thing of beauty. A valuable vision can be inherited by a city or landscape and also add to its legacy. Our solutions evolve from inquiry into the particulars of location and program along with a meaningful response. Every new architectural and urban move must address and acknowledge a pre-existing context. History is what has happened, we’re in the midst of and it’s not yet complete. Construction goes with life, things come down and replace others but an invisible continuity exists and yet every intervention has the power to impact a community. We are committed to a modernist point of view that examines the what’s gone before and to explore the unfamiliar, in order to create a reality that is inspirational and fit for all.

We work with a belief that quality landscape space can influence people’s emotions and create experiences that are otherwise not as significant or memorable. Through a critical investigation of an existing site and its surroundings we uncover and reveal meaningful elements of the landscape that are amplified in our design interventions. We also look for ways to connect projects with the broader ecosystem in which they rest and increase the opportunity for people to understand the story of a place through design. This methodology creates a landscape that not only serves its urban functions well, in this case as a programmable public space for the community, but one that also has ecological and social value both of which are imperative in the 21st Century. This approach moves beyond the typical notions of ecology and urban design, which are often viewed as mutually exclusive (especially in an urban environment), to one that is a generator of community and social engagement, within an ecologically connected space. In the case of the Wynwood Gateway Park we look forward to the challenge and opportunity of combining ideas of sustainability, urban agriculture, and ecology along with sculpture, entertainment space and bold, expressive form into a deeply layered and evolving urban neighborhood. Understanding diverse ideas and integrating them without simply looking to satisfy the majority is a strength we posses. This is achieved with clear graphic communication, proof of concept through the use of precedents and accessible language. Collaboration with our clients, the public, engineers and artists allows our projects to represent and work for the constituents that will use them most often.

Incisions + Incubators

National Homegrown Park Exhibition - David Suzuki Foundation and Workshop Architecture Toronto, Ontario 2014 • Invited participant This design exhibit aimed to generate awareness amongst homeowners and property managers in Toronto about the importance of making improvements to the urban landscape, one property at a time. Our project focuses on the re-creation of an existing schoolyard into a more biologically and ecologically focused environment. It is suggested that over time, through the aggregation of the Incisions + Incubators the surface can become almost entirely permeable and ecologically beneficial.

Founded in Barcelona after collaborations with diverse architectural practices, we are a dynamic and collaborative firm practicing architecture, social analysis and urbanism. The office implements visions and develops consistent strategies which can impact in a positive way at both local and global levels. We like working with diverse constraints which we transform into opportunities. We believe in reality, in building construction, but we also trust our instinct to see potentials and new strategies. Every project is unique and relates directly with an specific context, according to different socio-political, historical, environmental,physical, cultural and economic conditions.That’s why we don´t rush with architectural solutions, we zoom out and first analize the site and its social context conditions.We are working Globally always considering the local aspects of each project. The office approaches design taking into account concepts such as: flexibility ,sustainability, local memory, programmatic indeterminations, multifunctionality, architecture as a connection tool,multi-layered strategies and innovation.The office process involves the interaction with a diversity of external collaborators such as Engineers, Quantity surveyors, Landscape architects, Agronomists, etc, which allow us to define specificities with specialists in order to deal with different project challenges.

We design Buildings, Parks and Urban Spaces of different scales and topics. Our attitude as an initial approach when facing a new design is always the same no matter the scale or use of the Project. We navigate through complexity, searching for efficiency and beauty. While designing, everything is new yet familiar; evolving in an iterative process. We are mainly interested in discovering the essence of each project’s dilemma. This means, the project should solve and reflect the needs and dreams of its community. We can discover these essences traveling across unexpected paths, such as a memory, a color or a demographic data. As a more ambitious goal, our intent is to create projects with a surviving time pursuit, being a genuine representation of its period. Regarding Urbanism, our biggest commitment is Public Space interventions. A qualified public space is a must to improve citizen’s standard of living. At the same time generates a sense of belonging and identification, while contributes to democratize cities. When allowed, we try to be involved in the projects from the site selection up to the building’s Opening. The idea is to have a good and effective quality control. Along all this process the design attitude is always present. We subscribe the concept architectural ideas are universal. Only small local variations should be required, depending on where it is located. We are strongly committed to design sustainable projects as our small contribution to keep this amazing planet safe.

VISION... We are a design firm dedicated to the art and craft of creating exterior spaces that provide engaging environments for living, work and play, but most of all communion with nature. We seek to bring back nature in human environments that have displaced nature with buildings, concrete and asphalt. We use plants, gravel, rock and water, the elements of the earth, and abstract images of nature to fill in an exterior space. We invite heaven to transform them into gardens and spaces of transcendence. Garden is a place where heaven and the earth are made to commingle and blossom. With over 30 years of design experience, our firm has a unique and innovative approach to landscape design and a wealth of experience on a wide variety of public, private, and international landscape design projects, from community master planning, site planning, streetscape urban design, recreational facilities, to site specific commercial, industrial, institutional and residential design projects.

FIRM PHILOSOPHY The philosophy of our firm is to apply the timeless principles of architecture and engineering (firmitas, utilitas, venustas) to contemporary practice. We also believe that the application and combination of these principles varies between clients and projects. Our expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, the use of evolving computer-aided design techniques and digital fabrication allow us create innovative designs that provide long-term environmental, social, and financial benefits to our clients and to the community at large. We believe that good design, technology, and construction are not mutually exclusive but must work together to make a theoretical vision a practical reality. The combined thrust of these disciplines provides the means to deliver a project that: • is distinctively aesthetic while sensitive to the context, culture, budget and program of the project • meets our clients' vision and needs, both present and future • factors in building use, orientation and lifestyle to increase efficiency • is as environmentally effective as possible • is optimized in terms of materials and cost of operation in the short and long-term • is an asset to the client, neighborhood and community Our philosophy is that in order to create great built environments designers must engage in the construction process from inception of the project through completion and the operation to increase a building's value. We believe that architecture and engineering are an applied art and Ove Arup might have said it best: “Engineering (Architecture) is not a science. Science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering (Architecture) design makes use of these laws to solve particular problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft; as in art its problems are under defined, there are many solutions, good, bad, or indifferent. The art is, synthesis of ends and means, to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity, involving imagination, intuition, and deliberate choice.” Thank you for the opportunity.

SUPERCHARGE! GREENHOUSE New Construction–2013

Architect / Engineer / Builder Designed for Supercharge! Foods to take advantage of Madison, Wisconsin’s new zoning code that allows for urban agricultural businesses on residential lots. Reused doors, windows, bricks, and wood are used in construction. Designed for year round food production it harvests energy from the sun in solar panels and is a energy positive building. The chemical reaction in compost releases energy in form of heat, which is used in the hydronic in-floor heating system during the winter. Water is harvested and stored in cisterns at each corner. The Geometry of Nature very often combines fractal geometry and the Fibonacci sequence into structure

Digital Fabrication The building was modeled using Autodesk software that accurately calculated the complex angular connections required for the geofractal dome. Digital files were supplied to the fabricator and the aluminum was cut with a CNC water jet machine. The size of the polycarbonate panels and the aluminum connection strips that fasten them to the structure were digitally molded. The strips were cut with a CNC laser machine and bent to the correct angles for each segment of the dome. The size of the polycarbonate panels were modeled, then cut, to “flex� to the curvature of the structure and seal with each other where they are shingled for water drainage.

Design / Build The construction of the Supercharge Greenhouse was only possible because of the architect led design / build procurement method. An experimental building with geofractal dome, digital fabrication and compost heating system would have been cost prohibitive with a traditional delivery process. An estimated savings of over 20% as compared to a traditional design / bid / build process. 1 2 3 4 5 6

The Essence of our architecture is the artistic integration of space, form, light and function enriched by materiality. As all projects are treated as unique, so too is our creative vocabulary, tailored to diverse clients, sites, budgets and programs. Our approach is a sculpted choreography of opposites, forming a dialogue of interlocking spaces and forms articulated in a crafted use of materials, ennobling space and form through materiality and light. Our ultimate goal is to create something never said before, in a timeless manner.

Alberta Ferretti, New York A bravura performance was produced for Alberta Ferretti’s U.S. flagship store, Philosophy. This federal-style townhouse puts a clever twist on the behind-closed-doors white-box aesthetic of many SoHo establishments; it is an“illuminated Renaissance theater”, inspired by Palladio’s Teatro di Olympia, that puts Philosophy on view for all the world to see.

Wynn and Company Watches Boutique, Las Vegas We conceived of the space as a walk-in watch. The space is a chain mail lined cylinder with a watch face on the ceiling. We marked the movement of time with 4 types of glowing displays: a central glass display that creates the center pivot of the space and 3 layers of display that expand from the center.

Hartberg Located in Hartberg, Austria, our design objective was to house the headquarters, consumer relations, and manufacturing facilities for a cosmetics company. The underground facilities are placed with organic Barnicle shapes protruding through the surface to form vessel-like monitors, that admit light as well as become glowing organic shapes at night.

Our research and collaborative-based approach drives for design innovation with a strong focus on the social and environmental integration of architecture and urban landscape design. Pursuing design for people to develop a sense of belonging, attachment and pride for how they live, work and play. It is this symbiotic relationship between architecture and people that we believe strengthens the urban fabric. A common process for all of our projects and design is exploration. It involves studying multiple design possibilities and research into the context and constraints of each project. Through this rigorous iterative process we find design that will function together in scale, environment, site context and material. A place of open discourse, we operate as a network of skilled specialist, fabricator and craftman to further our experimentation in design, and the importance of sustainable development as a collective responsibility to our society. It is through this holistic form of practice that involves both technological advancement and clarity in the quality of users experiences.

1. Peacock Completion: 2012 Exhibitions: IDS12 2012, Design Miami 2013, GUILD Design Fair 2014, Salone del Mobile 2014, Museo Bagatti Valsecchi 2014 Peacock was the result of an extensive research and study of the properties of a single material and its most expressive qualities. Through the process of cutting, bending and folding, the result was a pattern that combined both aesthetic and structural qualities in design. Its pattern is initially routered by a CNC, then thermoformed to create the final form resembling the fanning of a peacock’s tail. Our goal was to create an object that would engage our imagintation and infinite possible for use both indoor and outdoor.

2. Printemps Haussmann Location: Paris, France Completion: To be completed 2015 Currently in its design development phase, the goal of this project is to create a threedimensional wall that relates to the vertical movement for the interior of the Parisian department store Printemps Haussmann. Taking inspiration from the word “printemps” meaning “spring” in French, the 10-storey wall is punctured with geometric shaped voids that form a pattern resembling flower petals. Drawing from the existing building’s feature dome, the Printemps wall is a contemporary reinterpretation of the classic stain-glassed dome. Within each petal void is a glass panel containing a multi-colour film layer. Due to the curvature of the wall and the perspective of users as they move through the space, the constant changing of angle produces a variety of stunning colour effects.

3. PORTS Location: Shanghai, China (Top) & Hong Kong, China (Bottom) Completion: To be completed 2015 Designing for two locations, the PORTS flagship store in Shanghai is a full building renovation, while PORTS Hong Kong is a store-front façade. As the retail brand was founded in Canada, the design for both locations is rooted in capturing a piece of PORTS` origins. Square and L-shaped glass box modules are connected over the entirety of the façade to mimic the quality of Canadian north ice. One side of the glass module is transparent and the other is a reflective surface made from crystalized titanium. The geometry of the glass results in a visually transformative exterior where pedestrians can be compelled within a highly competitive commercial site.

4. University of Central Asia Location: Khorog, Taijkistan; Naryn, Kyrgyzstan; Tekeli, Kazakhstan Completion: Masterplan 2004-2006, Construction 2007-on-going The University of Central Asia is the world’s first internationally chartered institution of higher education commissioned by His Highness Aga Khan. As the assigned architectural planner for all three campuses, it was essential to imbue them with a common identity to represent the university as a whole. The focus for the design and construction methodology were chosen to address key social and economic issues facing each region, particularly the mountain communities.

5. Hara Museum ARC Expansion Location: Gunma, Japan Completion: 2008 Hara Museum ARC is an art museum that holds exhibition with a focus on contemporary art and private collection of traditional East Asian art. Located at the foot of Mt. Haruna and perched on top a small hill, the new expansion pays homage to traditional Japanese ideals, translating their qualities into architectural form. The pavilion space is configured to that of a “tokonoma”, the prototypical Japanese interior space. Another unique feature of this museum is the integration of the building programs such as gallery, a café and museum shop with permanent outdoor art installation.

6. White Chapel Location: Osaka, Japan Completion: 2006 Built within the Hyatt Regency Osaka hotel, the White Chapel is an 80-person ceremonial space, primarily utilized for wedding congregation. The structure consists of 60cm diameter square steel rings that are truncated and welded together to support the roof and glass exterior faรงade, creating a subtle transparency between the interior and scenic exterior, while bridging a serene transition from the hotel to the chapel.

7. Lake Cottage Location: Bolsover, Canada Completion: 2013

Oriented towards the lake, this two storey cottage with its charred cedar faรงade creates a strong contrasting presence amongst the snowy white scenery, while its mirrored terrace creates the illusion of the forest being engulfed into the building. As the season changes the cottage transitions and disappears into the dense foliage of its surroundings. The overlap layering of spaces is intended to blur the visual distinction between interior and exterior. Details throughout the cottage aim to emphasize this quality by exposing the natural edges of materials such as wood, stone and metal. For instance, a solid wood log is carved to make the stringer for the stairs. Deep skylights allow subdued light to filter and provide varying views of the sky and trees. The center of the cottage is a hearth giving warmth and a place to gather. Together, these design strategies form a constant feeling of connectivity to nature, comfort and surprise.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The studio engages projects in art, architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. The ability to adapt to considerable shifts in site and scale has been the foundation of our success. Recent projects include the Cambridge University landscape competition, a winning entry for the Warming Huts competition, a speculation on the future of the New York City grid, and a vision for renewable energy on Staten Island’s Freshkills Park. We pursue innovative design solutions through experimental approaches while eschewing the latest trends. The work is not driven by a formal agenda but arises from the investigation of core issues. The constraints of a project, whether they are related to the site, program, budget, etc., often inform solutions that superficially, may appear unusual or radical but are responses to pragmatic concerns. Though each project is unique, several central ideas form the foundation of every project. A commitment to environmental and social sustainability lies at the heart of our work. Additionally, our work strives to enhance a sense of place, and create vital relationships with context, whether natural or man-made.
