The project proposes a platform and tools for people to go outside of themselves in order to look inside with prepared environmental and psychological setting. It’s a space where people come to ruminate with themselves. The space mainly serves for 2 purposes: One is a sensory cleanse walking path for everyday commuter. Two is a platform for curing depressions. The space is divided in 3 sections designed to associate with the 3 types of psychedelics which are “empathy”, “Serotonin” and “dissociative”.

After: Makeover Condition at Central Park

In 1990, the water in Central Park’s reservoir was lowered to eliminate algae growth-it has been obsolete ever sice. This project asks question: To whom are algae toxins harmful?

Instead of eliminating the ‘algae problem,’ we propose to intensify the limit of algae so that it can grow from “full bloom” to “totally clean” and explore its potential at different concentrations. We aim to expand the visitors’ experience of algae as well as its contributions to the environment and certain species located in and around Central Park’s various bodies of water. The project proposes a human-made wetlatnd created in the form of a water pathway that serves as the primary algae filtration system.

Backstage : shared political ideals bring people from background together to support a cause. The topic of conversation is triggered by the activity on stage, projected on the screen. Front stage : each speaker displayed their emotions effectively through speech and body language while supporters cheer them on with whistles and clappers.

The intention of this interactive installation is to create a platform that triggers conversation, in which the table itself can become a subject that encourages conversation among participants.

Designed Environment

Visitors are engaged as they can leave pin marks on the table that reflect their political ideology; the platform did not only communicate to participants at the time but also left a political message for the next participant.

equality in communication.

Despite the diversity and the abundance of art and culture within European countries, the European Parliament is represented in its simplest form of architecture; a simple symmetric floor plan, glass facades, and no symbolic ornaments in order to emphasize on the philosophy of uniformity.

The main aim of the European Union is to promote social and economic progress and achieve sustainable balanced development through the strengthening of social and economic cohesion.

The proposal aims to regain relationship between EU government and citizens by creating an architectural infrastructure that is urbanized by the “European Engines”. The European Engine will feature new sustainable technologies and functions that display relevant economic and climatic data from European Parliament to stay in touch with the public. The first two prototypes take place at 2 different sites whose economical and climatic situation is greatly different. What if European countries are no longer differentiated by written boundary but rather climatic boundary ?

The crane would pick up trash and put them in the elevator for the “gastification process”. The trashes would be naturally dried by sunlight and put into the gastification tower.

The stored solar energy is used to project infographic light data onto the surface of water, indicating the current economic and climate situation.

By displaying relevant data, the European Parliament allows citizens to see how the parliament is doing.

The Piraeus Port would turn into a public gathering space where the EU Parliament communicates to the European citizens through this “European Flagpole”.

As the water gets heated, the steam rises up, passes through the turbine to the power generator. The stored water, pumped by hydraulics, is also provided to the plants. The soil elevator would allow gardeners to take care of the plants more effectively.

The infographic light data will be projected on the spinning turbine at night, allowing students and citizens to gather around the intersection and underground space.

In conclusion, open access to information and transparent systems will increase the engagement of citizens in parliamentary activities, leading to a stronger relationship between the parliament and its citizens.

izing with not only human beings but also other inhabitats including animals and plants.

The interior design aims to promote a healthy living by encouraging inhabitants to socially engage with other habitats from inside to outside. The design portrays the scenario of living in the Bangkok’s high-rise building “The State Tower”, built in 2001. The 4th tallest building in Thailand was imagined in a form of Roman architecture, which represented the luxury perception. The 68 sq.m. room sits on the 50th floor; its highest residential floor in the complex.

The studio consists of multiple features; living area, kitchen area, work station and a bed in an open single space. The ceiling and an elevated platform are designed to define the boundary without the necessity of wall to provide a boundless atmosphere to users.
