CRYPTOGAN

CryptoGAN advocates for the monitored rewilding of the city as a means to achieve an ecocentric urbanism. With the aid of computational tools and Machine Learning it proposes an adaptive design system and building typology which blur the threshold of human and non-human activity

OUTWORLDLY RESORT

Location: Project type: Practice:

Undisclosed Undisclosed WATG

The objective of the competition is to create an outworldly beach resort by the desert. The concept of the design draws inspiration from the ideas of fragmentation and fractals with the creation of a landscape over the landscape..

DESERT ARTIFACTS

The objective of the project is to create unique structures which stand out in the arid desert and create landmarks for the travelers. The connection to the landscape is a key part of the design with the “Artifacts” getting their references from textures and forms of nature.

University College London Workshop Mario Serrano Puche Pablo Jaramillo

The workshop focused on using augmented reality and parametric design software to generate an aggregational installation in our most personal part of the house during the pandemic. Ostal takes reference from biological forms and, especially bone structures, to generate a space for work and enhanced seclusion.

Abstract

The beginning of the new decade finds Mars in rising popularity among key space organizations as well as the wide audience. Mars, is a long-lived dream of conquest and freedom for humanity, being viewed as a blank canvas for a new kind of living. The main subject of current discussions is an imminent future where humanity manages to colonize the Red Planet. A colony, essentially, means scientific, technological, and economic advance for those who establish it. However, colonialism, historically, has been synonym with disasters including those on the balance of the native worlds and their resources. On the other hand, with breakthroughs in bioengineering, automation, and robotics, along with the rising importance of environmentalism in society, one starts to wonder over the possibility of a new approach which could render humanity a symbiote on Mars. Even though academics warn about the dangers of the “colonial trend” of the planet, research in bio-integrated design and ecocentric policies are still restricted to the Earth’s biome. This design research intents to provide with provoking conceptual speculations over the future relationship between humanity and Mars promoting an ecocentric, symbiotic approach as a strong non-intrusive alternative to traditional colonialism. With architecture promoted to an essential part of this shift of culture, the research continues with speculative conceptual designs of the settling on Mars in order to reflect and experiment on what the proposed values would practically mean for the agents, the culture and the constructed space on the planet.

Initial habitats make the most out of the in-situ materials and conditions to generate space which enables the smooth transition of humans to the planet aswell as a protected environment for the prosperity and multiplication of other species.

Farming has to provide back to the ecosystem by offering space for activity of other species.

View of the initial habitats integrating with the landscape and providing symbiotic conditions of life.

Giorgos Mitroulias

Dimitris Philippitzis

The project’s aim is to redesign the greek High School as a “home away from home” experience. This experience is based on inclusiveness, userfriendliness and sensational stimulation through a dynamic interchange of spaces of different use and character. As a final outcome, the project offers a prototype building in Evosmos, Thessaloniki.

Development around an axis of activity densification between lyceum and gymnasium

Inner patio providing a more secluded and intimate area. School is designed to provide familiar space to all kinds of personality.

Multi-use space that can open up to exterior and host school events or turn into a soundproof amphitheatre.
