SET 8 by joperez8

TEAM 1

The design philosophy of our work is based on our multi-disciplinary experience and collaborative approach to the design of the built environment. Through our work, we enrich and enliven the user experience in the built environment. Each project is a process of discovery through understanding of site and exploration to meaningfully engage the design program and user with the space and its surrounds. Our design process hinges on conversations with our clients, leading to creative exploration of ideas. Through this conversation, our projects merge function/program with the kinetic and potential essence of site. We bring to each design a sense of ecological stewardship, clear understanding of the pragmatic and imagination. We have an integrated approach to landscape architecture, urban design and architecture which is responsive to site ecology, program needs, architectural features and budget aspects of the project. We believe that good design considers and respects local context and use patterns, is ecologically sound, brings people together, and fosters a greater awareness of place. Careful attention to detail helps to engender a sense of place and create unique experiences. We put special emphasis in the selection and design of paving treatments, site furniture, lighting, water features and planting, that expresses the unique qualities of the site and proposed use. We provide our clients with creative environments and spatial solutions that respect and enhance the existing urban fabric and relevant structure, while providing a contemporary response to the designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program.

Design Team Biography and Philosophy:

The studio is a collaborative interdisciplinary practice engaging contemporary culture through architectural design, urbanism, landscape urbanism, and advocacy. The practice transforms spaces, sites and systems by working within and against each contextâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limitations and constraints. The work ranges from speculative research and urban policy proposals to commissioned architectural projects, film, photography, and public art installations. The studio is an active thought leader in social practice seeking productive anomalies in the overlooked, underrepresented, and the everyday, in order to identify and transform emerging urban paradigms. It draws on the partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; extensive experience in architectural construction, fabrication, education, and independently directed research. The studio positions architectural design as a systemic instrumentation of material ecologies, social constituencies, political policies, and ethical thought, embracing a transformative role, and enabling new paradigms of cultural production. The studio was awarded the 2010-11 Rome Prize in Architecture, the 2010 ONE Prize International Competition, and has been invited to participate in the Venice Biennale, Sofia Architecture Week, Eme3 Barcelona International Architectural Market and the Frugal Architecture International Conference Workshop in Malta. The partners were recently part of an interdisciplinary team of design professionals selected as finalists in Infill Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s nationwide design competition, in which designs serve as a prototype for green stormwater infrastructure throughout Philadelphia and the US, illustrate potential public/private partnerships, and aid property owners in seeing the return on investment.

TEAM 4

DESIGN TEAM PHILOSOPHY We are interested in ways in which new technologies can interface with longstanding architectural traditions of craft, materiality, ornament, and pattern. We see great potential for these qualities to expand architecture’s capacity to engage urban publics in new and surprising ways. We are also committed to strategically and opportunistically leveraging digital tools to enhance the architect’s capacity for innovation, efficiency, and efficacy. Our practice operates at multiple scales—from cities to buildings to installations to products—all of which incorporate a broad arsenal of techniques: building information modeling and parametric modeling software, robotic fabrication technologies, and full-scale prototyping. Our “high tech” mindset is typically paired with a more “low-fi” material sensibility that often entails using (or reusing) economical, conventional materials in unconventional ways. This is representative of a broader ethos of sustainability that informs all of our projects. We also believe that this sensibility further enhances our ability to open up novel forms of engagement with the public and the city. As a full-service architectural office, we bring a broad practical knowledge of materials, fabrication methodologies, and construction practices. Our expertise leading design-fabricate-build teams has involved both hands-on construction as well as broader collaborations with networks of fabricators and contractors. With over ten years of practice experience, we have a comprehensive understanding of project delivery protocols, review processes, budget oversight, coordination with consultants, and building consensus among various stakeholders. We see these practical concerns not as impediments or constraints, but rather as opportunities for design innovation.

CENTENNIAL CHROMAGRAPH

Centennial Chromagraph is a life-size representation of the history of the University of Minnesota School of Architecture. The project is an exercise in data spatialization: using computational design tools to generate formal and spatial constructions with large quantities of data—in this case, information collected over the 100-year history of UMN’s architecture school. The installation consists of 100 robotically-routed plywood ribs, joined together with 8,080 colored #2 pencils. The curvature of the ribs expresses major historical eras and periods of the School, while the color of the pencils reflects the changing composition of the School’s degree programs over the past century. The installation was built in the central courtyard of Ralph Rapson Hall to serve as a centerpiece for the School’s centennial celebration. Throughout the centennial year, pencils were distributed to alumni and friends of the School as souvenirs of the celebration.

MODULAR VARIATIONS

This design and fabrication research project explores latent opportunities within processes of casting, forming, and molding. The research, explored through a series of masonry installations, involves developing adjustable molds constructed from a set of finite, simple components and capable of producing a large range of variable, stackable cast modules. Strategies include fabric-formed casting and reconfigurable molds that are able to introduce unpredictability and variability into what is typically a very standardized production process. Computational models were used to visualize design iterations, produce fabrication files and assembly instructions, and build in highly performative behaviors that allow the screens to respond to site-specific conditions of light and privacy.

LAKEFORMS

LakeForms, a finalist in the 2013 Minneapolis Creative City Challenge, is a dynamic interactive public pavilion that invites residents and visitors into the Minneapolis Convention Center plaza, where they can relax, explore and learn about the city’s urban lakes. The pavilion is a digitally enhanced scale model of the lakes’ underwater topography. Their individual topographies are inverted and joined together to create a single sweeping, curvilinear form that becomes a striking and innovative architectural presence in downtown Minneapolis. Using custom-built “smart buoys” deployed in the lakes to gather data, the interior of the pavilion is transformed into an information rich environment, featuring a light display and soundscape about the lake’s ecology and summer use.

TONI STABILE STUDENT CENTER

Project completed under employment by another office. Role: Project Architect / Project Manager. This project, a new 10,000sf student center for Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, transforms both formal and informal work, meeting, and social spaces of the school. The student center becomes a nexus for the flow of the academic life of the building through the renovation of a large multilevel interior and a new glass addition onto the campus that links the Journalism School to the broader campus community.

GLEN OAKS BRANCH LIBRARY

Project completed under employment by another office. Role: Project Team. Glen Oaks Branch Library is a new 18,000 sf high performance, LEED certified building located at the juncture of a low scale commercial and institutional area with a suburban residential neighborhood. As the building area required is double that allowable by zoning, half of the interior spaces are placed below grade. A double-height space adjacent to the building entry and strip skylights in the plaza bring light through a contoured ceiling to the reading areas located below. The landscape strategy acknowledges the ground surface’s dual role as an outdoor public space and its inversion as the roof of the cellar below, exploring the relationship between artifice and nature.

FLATFORM

Project completed under employment by another office. Role: Project Team. Commissioned as part of the Museum of Modern Art’s Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling exhibition, Flatform is a panel system of flat stock stainless steel components that are cut, scored, and folded to form details of assembly without external fasteners. Facing panels are joined through tabs that either join between the two panels or extend through the face of the opposite panel. The surface geometry of each panel is parametrically linked to the characteristics of the tabs and is limited by the ability of the material to bend. The composition and number of tabs can vary to address specific performance requirements.

Process: Creating a Sense of Place The fundamental goal of our designed work is to create delightful places that people want to be in and return to; an underlying goal is to connect the users to the regional environment. A reoccurring theme and passion is the dramatic juxtaposition of man-made elements with ecological processes in a way that celebrates the special characteristics of the site and the region. Armed with a demonstrated knowledge of materials and design skills, we strive to integrate the needs of the user with the landscape in a way that’s clear and understandable, design is our art form and simplicity informs our process. Understanding the cultural significance and character of a site and applying these lessons to its new man-made circumstances is a pursuit that adds meaning to the project, often transcending the client’s original expectations. Evidence that we are doing something right is demonstrated not only by our numerous awards (37 ASLA awards) and publications, but foremost by the people who enjoy our designed spaces. Built projects consistently address the difficult conflicts of contemporary expectations in a fragile world. Our projects strive to inspire people to live in ways that promote the health and sustainability of the natural world. An accurate description of the team is that we are ‘site opportunists’; we look for opportunities to exploit the possibilities of the site and make connections to its neighborhood. Trying to accomplish these goals in a small urban park is a welcomed challenge to the team.

Team’s Design Philosophy :We called our team IMA “Iconic Morphology Architecture” that means we start thinking with a main inspired icon or theme based on history, concept or philosophy, which reflect the form and structure of the project desires.

IMA’s mission is to create a unique architectural conceptual morphology and environmental where people can find happiness and feel comfortable surrounding with healthy environment through creating a new different type of arts and technique of work that’s build our concept of Iconic theme to get results and quality of work. That’s why we see the building not as solid of concrete cover with brick walls closed by roof top, we see it as an ‘Organism’ has a function and form created to develop the human needs to find a perfect environment with comfortable mood. And through this concept we are working to make the building suitable and useful for the user but in a different way by applying the physiological and sociological human needs in the architectural firm. At IMA, we looking beyond the traditional definitions of architecture, interior and urban design. We see these disciplines as parts of a greater whole – our environment, that focuses on achieving harmony with and within our natural and man-made environment, a harmony that inspires our minds, lifts our spirits and enhances our lives that gives the relationship between human, nature and architecture.

From form to perform: architecture as a relational device.

Architecture is an interdisciplinary medium, linked to the territory. From wall to video interface, we think architecture as a system of spatial rules â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a playground â&#x20AC;&#x201C; able to modify the relationships between space and its inhabitants, between public and private, indoor and outdoor, artificial and natural, real and virtual. Each project becomes an opportunity to explore the relationship between form and social role of architecture, which is, by choice, an open, interactive and process-based device. Therefore, architecture becomes adaptable to appropriation, transformation and progressive developments initiated by its inhabitants. The aim of this practice in which are merging experimental attitude and concrete matter, is to give back to the inhabitant/user the power to shape the space, from the installations to the concrete mass of architecture, and to give back to the contemporary city an intensity of uses, multiplicity of relationships, sedimentation of identities, in other words that richness typical to the historical city. The works selected for this portfolio witness at various scales and context this attitude towards architecture as a relational device.

Risorgimento Square, Bari Interactions in public space. In a small piazza situated in the 19th century area of the city, in front of a recently renovated school, the project proposes, in addition to the necessary lighting and pavement renovations, a public space constantly

moved by the inhabitants according to their needs: sitting in the shade on a hot summer’s day, or conversely in the sun on a cold winter’s day, facing the school waiting for one’s child to exit, or facing the commercial area of street waiting for an important date, or sitting under the streetlight to allow for an evening read, or in the shadows for sweet encounter…

School Library, Bari A collective monument. The building is envisioned to be in direct communication with the internal rooms of the existing school while simultaneously accessible by an independent entry opening up the space to the neighborhood, serving as a cultural center outside school time. The realization of a collectively created monument drawing upon the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative role: the design of the extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facades is the result of a photographic workshop open to the students of the school.

Public Garden, Bari Landscapes on the border. In this middleground between city and countryside, the garden becomes a â&#x20AC;&#x153;denseâ&#x20AC;? boundary of overlapping diverse landscapes within different types of green open spaces. . This gradual transition satisfies the programmatic need to host diverse functions in this area. Additionally, the thickening of the boundary obtained by overlapping bands/zones produces a perceptual expansion of space, distancing the exterior margin of the garden while simultaneously extending it past its margin towards the horizon.

Maria Grazia Cutuli School A school in form of a community. The building accomodates eight classrooms, a doubleheight library, the secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, staff rooms and the caretakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, distributed in modules like a small village, with gardens and horticultural facilities. The library, the only module fully visible from outside the perimeter wall, has a ground level area whose large french windows create an open-air environment that blends with the surrounding garden. The entire building has a reinforced concrete frame with terracotta brick cladding. Painted colouring was used instead of render to keep costs down, in three different shades of blue, to draw attention to the complex layout of the building.

speed. Take a break. What is the simplest solution? Is it finished? Be dirty. Use your own ideas. Openly resist change. Go to an extreme, and return to a more comfortable place. Consider machinery. Consider transitions. Be excessive. Discard a previously valued theorem. Google it. Get lost

in unknown territory.

Ask your body. Magnify the most difficult details, one at a time. Disregard typical

procedure. Emphasize the differences. Determine the formulas you are using and abandon them. Do something boring. Turn it upside down. Faced with a choice, do both. Make more than nothing. You are not building a wall, but making a brick.

Question the heroic approach.

When is it for? What is the reality of the situation? Give everything away. Emphasize the flaws.

Use an unacceptable color. Step into the impossible, one line at a time. Do

something sudden, destructive, and unpredictable; incorporate. Use an old idea. Use an extravagant frame. Retrace your steps.

How would you have done it?

TEAM 11

Who we are We are a multidisciplinary team of professionals in urban design and landscape architecture coming from different countries and cultural backgrounds. We practice in international and multicultural environments, applying a participative design approach wherever possible. We work in a straight-forward and well organized way, by means of team and project management skills throughout all working phases.

What we think We think urban design and landscape architecture as disciplines targeting communities, by listening, understanding and clarifying needs, while saving and optimizing resources. For us, design is identified with sustainability, it must achieve long lasting and socially inclusive places, attractive for all the users to which they actually belong.

What we enjoy We enjoy designing site specific and innovative solutions, and we are rewarded by seeing our projects coming to life, stimulated by usersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; invention. These are the experiences that continue to motivate us to create landscapes that are unique and exciting.

What we aim at We aim at managing complexity with simple and sometimes surprising solutions, always in order to achieve identity for the open space that we design. People shall use the space, adapt it, respect it and make it their own. In this spirit we strive to create flexible and inclusive open spaces.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Context and Research. Rigor and Collaboration. These are the principles common to our interdisciplinary practice, which encompasses architectural design, writing and installation, landscape and urbanism. Our research-based approach informs the context of our design projects across a variety of scales and media. Our design process begins with a thorough study to understand a projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific needs and parameters. We then analyze, evaluate, and interpret these factors against principles of spatial ordering, visual hierarchy, movement, and environment. We look closely and broadly at the same time in search of unexpected opportunity. We design for the subtle facts of place that produce urbanity, inclusive of both heritage and landmark status as well as changes in markets, labor, and lifestyle. We aim for engagement with contemporary issues that shape the performance and reception of architecture, including development, new media, art practice and other design arts. We are particularly interested in the relationship between landscape, open space, and cities. We collaborate and learn from each other, our clients, and our communities. Through multidisciplinary teamwork, our design solutions gain in intensity and detail across scale and material. Future-oriented solutions are achieved that remain sensitive to a range of existing cultural, historical, and physical conditions. We learn from our clients as part of our community, one whom we hope to inspire as well as serve. We believe in design that extends the capacity of the user. Design is fundamentally a set of relationships beginning with that between our clients and their world at home or at large. We imagine possible futures of use, organization, and capacity that may go beyond expected needs or goals. We think strategically across total lifespan. We believe equally in memory and new perspectives. We believe in design that perfoms in all definitions of the word. We are guided by the tenets of sustainability, functionality, and engagement. Design can gather together unexpected users or experiences. Even simple spaces and installations can have a dynamic theatricality about them. Design organizes material and social relationships, and embodies aesthetic and intellectual experience. The design of the built environment from object to city is our shared cultural capital.

Cold Morning 2009 Installation In order to project film behind a glass curtain wall, a “neutral density filter” was created using layers of automotive window film. A continuous range of lighting between daylight and pitch black was achieved, while maintaining transparency. Programmatic requirements of reception and storage were incorporated in attenuated furniture offset from the existing geometry.

Love is Colder Than Death 2009 Installation “Love is Colder Than Death” is Werner Fassbinder’s first film, stylized with minimal visual language and dialogue. A set of “props” that capture a similar aesthetic and emotional sensibility were displayed in two rooms.

Scream Until You Like It 2005 Installation A site-specific public installation that uses text as sculpture. The work plays upon the repressed meaning of non-sequitors. A line from the heavy metal band WASP was affixed in backlit lettering to a well know artists’ building.

TEAM 13

We are a small multidisciplinary design studio that operates at many different scales ranging from regional landscape visions to label designs for sake. Our integrated approach focuses on envisioning harmonious lifestyles within the ecologically, economically, and ethnically diverse societies in which we work. The gradient that is created between our rational research interests and our creative-artistic design work produces the backdrop for our investigations. We attempt to cultivate harmony from the contrast these two extremes offer. The cross cultural perspectives of our team have contributed to the unique design responses and success of the studio. Within the open-minded cooperation of our studio, habits of perception are constantly challenged, readjusted, and drawn.

Displaying primitive landscape The key concept behind the circulation system is to immerse people into nature while they engage in their daily activities, this design incorporates elements from the primitive landscape alongside the pathways. As such, the slanted landform is configured to prominently display native plants of the Tallgrass Prairie. Since the native Tallgrass Prairie plants generally require deeper soils, the portion of this site devoted to these grasses had to be integrated with building piles underneath. As such, one third of this slanted structure comprises a Tallgrass Prairie garden atop reinforced areas of the building dedicated solely to infrastructure to support this landscape. While the tilted landform serves as the focal point of this design, people are directly faced with the views of the native plantings throughout the changing seasons. This encounter could become a great opportunity for visitors to learn the mechanism of nature in Winnipeg, particularly children, through the explorations of these gardens. The exposed nature of this landform, elevated into the sky, also enhances a sense of safety for the public during this interaction with the native landscape.

existing riparian forest displaying Tallgrass Prairie plants: deep soil structure

Pedestrian/cyclist circulation The circulation design of the site is developed from three main considerations: movement between different destinations, connection with the river and transitions for bus users. The primary feature of this circulation system is a raised bridge loop, which is accessed from existing footpaths surrounding the site via new pathways integrated into the moderate slopes of the landform. Through the introduction of this overhead circuit, pedestrians and cyclists can bypass the congested traffic intersection quickly and safely. This feature also connects Osborne Junction with the riverside plaza, as well as every destination on the site and in the adjacent areas.

The riverside plaza consists of a viewing tower, a wood-deck plaza, a bistro and cafe, a pier structure, and a treatment wetland terrace garden. The viewing tower is located on exactly the same spot as a similar structure formerly erected by the brewery. The tower is designed to evoke a post-industrial atmosphere while concurrently serving as a vital landmark to draw attention to activities alongside the brige over the railway is path river. This structure the key feature of the visual sequence leading from Osborne Junction to this plaza. This meandering, moderately sloped path incorporates diverse scenes which evoke multiple narratives. The viewing tower first catches the attention of visitors, and then people begin to notice the dramatic river view. After this expansive scene, the meandering path continues on towards the riparian viewing tower bridge path garden and gradually merges into the existing Riverbottom forest. rooftop meadow rooftop garden

Philosophy

Inspired…it’s a word we use around our office every day because we believe everyone deserves an inspired space, whether it’s a contemporary residential interior, a corporate campus, or a neighborhood green space. Great design is like great art; it should be accessible to all of us. Where do we find inspiration? Everywhere. In emerging technology, fashion, architecture, art, and much more. And we travel the world searching for new products and ideas that benefit our clients. We have a global clientele, but a “local” philosophy, so we are committed to enhancing our own neighborhood by supporting important social and environmental causes like KidSanctuary, a program that enlists interior designers to create and furnish exceptionally beautiful rooms for adolescents in foster care. Practicing what we preach, we’ve incorporated green design (like the living wall that adorns our building’s façade) and sustainability features into our own new office. Our team members have expertise in a vast array of design modalities and that makes us comfortable with any size or type of project. We’re honest, hardworking, and have over 50 years of combined industrial, residential, interior, and corporate design experience. And we pride ourselves on being flexible, creative, and collegial. Our exceptional team of experienced professionals works collaboratively on diverse projects, bringing clients a comprehensive and unsurpassed design experience. We believe it’s a privilege to design inspired landscapes, spaces, interiors, furnishings, and accessories for our clients and community members. We will be honored if you grant us the opportunity to submit a proposal.

TEAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: ECO-CULTURAL SYMBIOSIS Our design philosophy is based on the symbiosis between natural environments and local cultures. In every landscape design project we are trying to apply the principles of sustainability in ecological, economic, social and cultural terms. Thus, our goal is to integrate any site in the natural and anthropogenic context, both at functional, ecological and aesthetic level. We aim to create equilibrium between people, nature and human habitats. In order to implement our design philosophy, we have identified a number of principles and measures, which are representative for our projects. These include: - Encouraging a high level of biodiversity - Emphasizing the local memory and the cultural identity of the place - The use of renewable energy systems - A high percentage of planted spaces - Encouraging historical and ecological awareness - The mixed use of water features as an ecological support and as a social attraction pole - Taking into account particular security issues

A NEW AMERICAN PLAZA

Fun is good. -Dr. Seuss

American cities suffer from overly serious park planning. Though picturesque landscapes are appealing, they have limited value in the US, where having fun is as critical to urban life as historical tradition. Miami, like many cities, contains too little open space for pastoral scenery to have de facto civic value. As urban neighborhoods’ cultural atmospheres become richer, their parks need to become more lively. Until now, public parks have been considered an escape from the city. A new, active park can be a source of urban life. Miami is undergoing changes that set the stage for a renewed park concept. A growing preference for the richness of urban areas to the space of the suburbs is transforming the urban core. As the Wynwood Arts District continues to develop, the Wynwood Gateway Park is poised to become the neighborhood’s primary setting for public life. To do so, the American park concept will need to be updated, from a large and generally neutral environment to a compact, active one. Bryant Park, The Yards, and other recent examples suggest that the Wynwood Gateway Park’s value will be rooted in its ability to provide unique experiences. Through a thoughtful design process, the park can build on those examples and become the next step in the evolution of American public space. The new park will be an inventively designed and programmed leisure landscape. It will combine typical features—such as plantings, public art, seating, and lighting—with ones that are less commonly part of urban life. It will be a place where a person might buy a coffee and read a book, but also climb a mountain, invent a game, or grow a cactus. It will provide physical, social, and contemplative leisure for people of all ages and backgrounds. The Wynwood Gateway Park will set the bar for American urbanism, responding to a growing population’s call for a new way of life and new spaces in which to live it.

Title : Denver Botanic Gardens Canopy Year : 2010 Size : 4,800 sf Location : Denver, CO Designed with Guadalajara based artist, Gonzalo Lebrija, this pavilion creates a surreal, seemingly weightless environment for partygoers at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It is made of two surfaces: the existing terrace and a new canopy above it. The canopy is designed as though it was peeled up from the terrace, with columns stretching between the two surfaces. The columns are similar to gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe, stretching from the sole to the ground. Their form is counterintuitiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;structurally, they are being compressed by the weight of the canopy, but they look like they are being stretched. The paving pattern of the terrace is mirrored on the underside of the canopy to enhance the sense of being in an environment with no clear up or down.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Through my professional and academic work in the US and in Latin America, I have gained a broader vision of culture and its influence in design. I recognize the influence of cultural and historical backgrounds in the perception of spaces. I prefer to create designs that transcend borders and culture by applying universal design principles and placing attention to intangible qualities that spaces can create: feelings, music, humor, or just curiosity. I see the opportunity to create a unique design that will evoke emotions and stir the imagination of locals and visitors at the Wynwood Gateway Park. Four aspects are essential to make Wynwood Gateway Park a successful public space: respect the existing conditions of the site and its surroundings, discover the potential of the site, fulfill the needs of users, and meet the design, construction, and maintenance budget. After gathering the pertinent site information, an analysis must follow including the site ordinances. The analysis will recognize the site restraints and also its potential. The next step is the development of a design program to create an elegant, attractive, and flexible space that will accommodate different uses and users, thus engaging the community and attracting visitors and tourists. Elements that support the different activities of the park will be incorporated in the design: lights, paving, sculptures, landscape, and music. After construction, a maintenance program and budget must be in place to preserve the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality for generations.

Registration # _______________________ With a special interest in landscape design, our firm explores the interactions people have with an evolving natural environment. Our projects incorporate fundamental socially responsible duties of sustainable design with adoptive re-use of the urban context. Memory and time play a part of how we interact with our environments. This registers in our work by how we seek to highlight season changes, respond to historical conditions and emphasize weather events through the exposure of water management strategies. We believe that detailed contextual research and exploration of a projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs and inspirations are integral parts of the design process. We expand our practice of architecture into a realm of inspired collaboration with clients, artists and designers and work towards common goals and budgetary concerns, achieving visionary results through problem-solving, creativity and technological innovation.

TEAM 20

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The team members met while attending Florida International University, both pursuing the MA of Architecture. United by a mutual concern that the traditional role of Architecture has potentially been replaced as a result of emerging technological advances and the predominance of other fields in urban development, they turned to establish for themselves a multidisciplinary background. One of the ways they achieved this was by participating in Critical Revival (criticalrevival.com), a studio that hybridizes architecture and financial processes to foster cutting edge development skills both dexterous and ethical. As a result of these experiences, they adopted a design philosophy that aims to redefine the practice of Architecture, by interrupting its one-sided path with multiple connections into the fields of finance, sustainability and technology. As we sit submersed in the paradigm shift into the digital era, while awaiting a future where everything is connected, our practice transcends that of just the built environment; its imperative that the Architect is first and foremost a designer, a creator of things. Our design work is amalgamation of creative insight with grounded research, geared towards innovation in order to pose questions, challenge notions, and find surprising solutions.

MIAMI 2100 Thesis Proposal

A resilient proposal for Miami in 2100 where an increase 6’ of water will erase the majority of what is Miami Beach Today. The design is centered on the transformation of water areas to “zonified” water areas for commercial, residential, recreational and industrial purposes. The vision is that of an off-grid city, that uses algae biofuel, windfarms, solar energy, raised metro-bike lines, and floatable pods to reconstitute the vibrant street life of Miami Beach.
