Location : Milan - Italy. DESCRIPTION:
Milan - Italy.
Inpired by the “Babel Tower”, the project aims to work with a different conception of “Babel” not as a confusion between people but a way to connect them, to relate them with others without the need of speaking the same language.
The speakers will be located in a network-shape configuration inside the showroom that will create the illusion of a language connection in a tower: the New Babel Tower.

Final Masters Project Location : DESCRIPTION:

Final Masters Project Location: Milan - Italy DESCRIPTION: There are different ways of change the reality according to each person. Reality alteration can vary from a simple esthetic modification until a drastic breakdown with different elements, and such elements, are grouped in two main fields (according to psychological studies and different investigation where the human mind has been analyzed and interpreted).
Final Masters Project Location: Milan - Italy DESCRIPTION: The privation of reality is defined consciously and unconsciously by each one of us. We define until what point we want to be completely aware of the reality we are living and of the things we are interacting with.

Intermodal Terminal in the Tribugรก Cove Descrption:
The main reference of the airport, according to the form, was the tail fin of the Humpback Whale, which, in two annual seasons, visit the Pacific coast of Colombia. The height plays an important role in the project: allows to keep the hot air at the top of the building letting the fresh air that enters, stay concentrated in the lower levels.
Intermodal Terminal in the Tribugรก Cove Description:
The use of solar panels on the roof modules allows an efficient energy consumption, while it is generated by the cells. The modules in the roof, are automated, so they move to control the entry of air into the terminal.
