THE PLASTIKI
Sponsored by Dave de Rothschild who is sailing the boat from San Francisco to Sydney bringing to world attention the great pacific garbage dump larger which is larger than Texas – 678, 354 km2 or nearly the size of NSW - 800, 642 km2
THE YORKSHIRE DIAMOND
Concepts of inflatable fabric engineering and pneumatic architecture. The Yorkshire Diamond is a very particular design with inflatable tubes forming a diamond-lattice structure, forming a box with an excavated interior, which allows for different configurations.
SHANGHAI WORLD EXPO 2010
Built from recycled cd cases, the entire faรงade of the Shanghai Corporate Pavilion is covered in LED lights that can be changed in real time. Lighting is further determined by people interacting inside the building, through physical movement such as waving their arms or clapping their hands.
SPEIGLETENT
Spiegeltents are hand-hewn pavilions used as travelling dance halls, bars and entertainment salons since they were created in the early 20th century. There are only a hand-full of these unique and legendary ‘tents of mirrors’ left in the world today. Built of wood, mirrors, canvas, leaded glass and detailed in velvet and brocade, each has its own personality and style.

IDEATION NOMADS Pop-Up Solar Soundshell Taking portable architecture to the people.
POP-UP SOLAR SOUND SHELL
A low cost portable architectural vision, the pop-up solar sound shell seeks to enable arts and cultural events to be self-sustaining and far-reaching. This prototype will be commercialised and manufactured along the same ethical criterion as Nomads Palace, to be sold to a worldwide market that runs a stable of events such as schools, local councils, individuals, community led events and festivals requiring a range of scaled venue alternatives.
PROPOSAL
1.Nomads Palace™ as place | demonstration project built from recycled material. 2.Nomads Palace™ as program | events to be programmed globally. 3.Nomads Palace™ as eco-sustainable design | pop-up solar soundshell developed as prototype.
RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
1.Pacific Rim Studio – Students/professional research for a design studios and feasibility in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. 2.Investment into the project to final build to be sought in conjunction with promotion of studio networked with Architecture for Humanity (AfH) 3.Proto-type construction of pop-up on site at IndiEarth Xchange 2013. 4.Proto-type construction of palace on site at Planet IndigenUS in 2015.
