"A tower which works to bring back the purity of Sports to the Olympics"
The objective of “The Olympic Odyssey� is to defer from continuing this economically and socially destructive history and reinforce the purity of sports that the Olympic Games symbolize. With a profoundly monumental form, the Olympic Odyssey provides the necessary collection of archetypes, such as: stadium, tracks, pools, and fields. To escape the political territoriality of land, we seek a paradise in the unclaimed territory on the international waters of the temperate zones, which also provides a wide variety of temperatures throughout the year, allowing the tower to be the location for both the Summer and Winter games. Access to the Olympic Odyssey is primarily for competitors and staff to ensure fairness without interruption. Smart technology will provide the public with an autonomous form of inclusive and three-dimensional access. Through Virtual Technology people will have access at their homes and to the sports of their interest while also enjoying a family gathering. Close Interaction through Virtual Reality will create a different way of living the Olympic Games. The Olympic Odyssey reflects the history, human diligence, and sportsmanship. It avoids disruptive elements that diverge the purpose of the Olympics. It gathers the world together to construct and participate in the ultimate Olympic Dream.

Virtual Reality
Choosing a site in the international waters, raising a circular tower to fit all the sports location and service spaces.
Creating a circular colosseum as an entrance to the tower also to house the athletes and provide service areas
Creating different levels and zones in the colosseum to divide space and house the outdoor water sports.
Placing the sports programs in the tower, while sculpting it to fit each program and space needed.
Adding virtual reality to provide the audience and promotion. The VR surrounds the tower to provide a 180-degree experience.
Adding Virtual Reality to enhance the audience experience
Provides people throughout the world an easier, cheaper and more assessable way of attending the Olympics.
Provides people with the option of attending multiple games at the same time. They can see the other audience in the VR system, preserving the authentic cheering crowd feeling.
With people being in the VR environment, they can get closer to the players by choosing the field views to add another level of to the sports experience.

ING THE BOUNDRIES
INSTRUCTOR: BOSUK HUR
PIERS 62 AND 63, SEATTLE, USA
DESIGN CONCEPT Blurring Boundaries is a project which investigates the relationship between man and nature. In this project, we look at the boundary between the two and how it interacts at places to create gray spaces, which show the fusion of the properties of the two entities. Through our research we concluded that nature always comes first followed by the man, the idea acts as the driving force and significantly shapes our project. Our main design force was the way the built environment (represented by the walls) is forced to wrap around the natural environment (represented by the thermal baths) , a force which shapes the project. The project is essentially an extension of Seattle's waterfront into the water showing the person how nature and built environment interact creating a grey zone of interaction and connection.
Nature Coming first and growing independently
Man coming later and taking the spaces left by nature
Interaction of the two entities
Creation of a Grey Zone of blurriness
Open / Park Space continuation of the City
Walls representing the City grid entering the water
Thermal Baths as pods of Nature
Walls deflecting when touching the Baths
Space between the wall creates the Open / Park Space
Cylindrical amenities connect the lower and upper levels
The walls create a space in between them which becomes the Grey Zone of blurriness. It acts as the continuation of the City + as the continuation of nature
The floating mass gaining its shape from the banding gesture created by the parallel walls
The cylindrical towers acting as connections to the two levels
Creating open courtyards for visual connection

LIMA, PERU
Alto Peru is a neighborhood located in the district of Chorrillos, 17 km away from the historical center of Lima. It is in close proximity to a more affluent oceanfront area and the juxtaposition of income levels is very visible. This neighborhood has a history of rapid informal growth and construction on steep sites and on lots that contain ruins of historic buildings. The neighborhood is an unsafe, dense environment that lacks quality community spaces. This proposal offers ideas for constructing safe action spaces where the community could gather. As we analyzed Alto Peru, a particular phenomenon was identified: many of the concrete columns of the houses in Alto Peru were exposed and unfinished, waiting for future vertical expansion. We believe this pattern creates the potential to create different action spaces on top of the neighborhood. These elevated community spaces would supplement the streets and create additional gathering spaces that are more flexible and could support a range of uses not possible or safe at ground level
CURRENT SITUATION Reinforced Concrete / Dense Street / Individual Roof
BASIC CONCEPT- An Elevated Community Space Maximized Roof Use / Distributed Activities / Individual Rooftop

APEL IN THE WOODS
MEDITATION INSTRUCTOR: CAMERON CAMPBELL INIS GROVE PARK, AMES, USA
The Chapel tries to create this environment of a dark starry night sky where the person can come and sit feeling extremely tiny in the environment floating in his thoughts, trying to be one with his inner-self. This dark space is only broken by a beam of light which enters the room through skinny apertures on the walls. As the person sits in the chapel this beam of light travels through the space with the moving sun and finally hits the person sitting creating a climax point of the story of the person.
DESIGN KEYWORDS
EXTENDING THE GROUND
HIDDEN ENTRANCE
FLOATING IN SPACE
ERASING THE BOUNDARY
An integral part of the project is to create an atmosphere of the NIGHT SKY inside the chapel and reciprocating it on the roof when people come during the night and stand on the BALCONY OF THE FLOATING CHAPEL looking over the night sky.
