C O L L A B O R AT I O N Atelier Marko Brajovic August 2016

Project is designed for Coca Cola Company as a Fan Spot for Olympic Games 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. The installation is located in old factory in Praca Maua part of Rio de Janeiro.

An augmented physical environment that extends in a digital space through interactive technology and lightning effects. “Sparkling space” is designed by physic simulation in generative software, the effect of bubble explosion will be reproduced on large scale. Several dimensions of plastic inflated balls, will emerge from the bar and distribute all over the space, organizing the space, the paths, introduce the public to a bar, attractions and the main stage.

In this collaboration I took part on each phase of the project which was concept (I developed 3d model, renderings, diagrams, plans, presentation for the client), executive project and also I was at the construction site during the montage. Creating a surprising and immersive installation where the public is introduced in an icon and unique sensorial experience. One strong and photogenic formal gesture as a clear and suggestiv design strategy driven by a site specific artwork.

Bubble installation is made out 500 transparent acrylic balls fixed on the metal grid and illuminated.

One of the key elements in thinking about the design of the exhibit is the fact that the building is buried and located at the foot of a volcano. This allows a chalk slope to be seen on one of the walls of the room in order to place the visitor well in the context in which he is.

exhibition system based on basically horizontal installations with some vertical vertical elements is proposed. These installations are specified in tables of organic shapes, inspired by the hexagonal and pentagonal shapes of the basaltic lava flows of Sant Joan les Fonts.

This wall is included in the exhibition discourse through two different mechanisms: on the one hand, a videomapping that shows how the pyroclastic deposit is created and on the other with a system of lights that illuminate different types of rocks located along the wall.

These are steel structure tables painted in Gray brown color, a tone within the range of La Garrotxa graders, and with a Slate Gray Trespa envelope. The exhibition elements (models, screens, texts, etc.) are placed on these tables in different ways as needed.

The contents are distributed in these tables to respond to three main thematic axes that are interrelated at all times: the Earth, the volcanoes and the Garrotxa. The titles of these axes have different colors to distinguish them. Thus those of the Earth are blue, those of the volcanoes are red and those of the Garrotxa are green. A series of interactive screen totems complement the information on these axes while also proposing a set of colored lights thanks to a system of LEDs that are integrated.

In order to make this chalk slope visible from all over the room, an

DISCOVER OUR BODIES AND HEALTH This area is devoted to human bodies, therefore we propose to enter, literally, into our body. A large network in the shape of skin cells is covering the whole space, giving shelter and light to our visit. At some points this “skin” flows down to the floor and generates enclosed translucent areas where visitors can enter and interact with the proposed installation.

USER EXPERIENCE A large translucent enclosure where, when approaching it, two automatic doors open and invite the visitor inside. Three circles on the floor indicate where visitors must stand to get their body fully scanned and weighed. Once all the data is collected by the moving scanner, it is displayed on the walls of the capsule together with the body of the visitor’s avatar. Here visitors can learn about their own body data, but also about longevity and health, energy or nutrition. This way, once they’ve scanned themselves, they can make some changes in their daily lives towards a healthier lifestyle.

The main colour being skin-like, from pale pink to dark brown. Also, some of the cells are filled with panels, screens or projections to show some contents. A double height area connects the 3rd and the 4th floor. A hammock-like suspended net covers the whole ceiling opening allowing people on the 4th floor to walk, sit or lie over the 3rd floor’s cell structure. They can also see the contents shown in some of the cells and be interested in what’s displayed on the 3rd floor.

C O L L A B O R AT I O N Atelier Marko Brajovic January 2017

For the Docol pavilion at Revestir 2017, Atelier Marko Brajovic was inspired by the trio oxygen molecule O3. As the same name says, the molecule composed of three atoms of oxygen which evokes our shape of the pavilion and also the contents. A research and development laboratory.

The domes modulated with this biomimetic inspired texture and synergistic constructive technique, evoke constructions of parametric advanced architecture and advanced constructive systems. A cutting-edge architecture, a laboratory of constructive technology, a futuristic habitat, a laboratory of vocational thinking. The path is linear, passing between the spaces through flexible dividers in a fluid form, but with a differentiated characterization of each room (atom).

At the level of the architecture the three atoms appear in the same original chemical configuration of the molecule, in our case constructed by hexagons programmed by code Voronoi; A modulation of the geodesic dome that in nature happens in soap bubbles and textures of various animals.

UNEVEN GROWTHS MoMA Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities Exhibition at Museum of Modern Art in New York, MoMA C O L L A B O R AT I O N RUA Arquitetos May 2014

In 2014 I participated in exhibition project for MoMA, the proposals of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The exhibition took place 22 November 2014 at MoMA in New York. Unevenness is a dominant feature of Rio de Janeiro’s urban landscape, making it exemplary of Brazil’st reputation as an unequal country. Extreme topography confronts the city with nature and the division between rich and poor is articulated in asfalto (official city) and morro (favelas). Yet, Brazil’s income distribution has drastically changed during the last seven years—the lower middle class has increased by 40 million people and now represents the largest segment of the population. In Rio, 60 percent of favela residents now belong to this emerging middle class. As Rio becomes a middle-class city, the government and prevailing economic system are transforming the city into a setting for market-driven development.

However, the discontent of large portions of the population—demonstrated by recent protests against the FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics—expresses the gap between the aspirations of an emerging consumer class and the lack of urban equality. The cariocas (Rio’s inhabitants) have always found ways to appropriate and subvert their built environment through puxadinhos—add-ons to existing structures made from leftover materials. Inspired by puxadinhos, the proposed Varanda Products accommodate the logic of the market in order to transform it. As an interface between individual and community, the varanda offers a middle ground for negotiation, gathering, and play. Varanda Products is a catalogue of everyday consumer products that promotes city-making as a collective endeavor bringing together diverse social milieus. Insinuating itself everywhere, Varanda Products encourages smallscale urban entrepreneurship with the

openness and playfulness typical of the carioca way of life. Zooming out from Rio de Janeiro’s postcard view another reality appears: the contrast between the rich and the poor as expressed in the confrontation of asfalto and morro—the city built on asphalt and the city that grew informally in the hills. Proposed Varanda Products are replicated across neighborhoods: covered walkways and escalators connect outdoor spaces; water collectors and reservoirs provide sustainable local water supplies. Implementation of these urban goods ranges from the domestic to the urban scale, bridging spatial divides Varanda Products promote the carioca way of life, bringing nature and the city, the individual and the community closer together. In a world dominated by the logic of the market, users decide how the city evolves; it is up to them to choose a better, more balanced future.
