CONCEPT Bath house culture was transformed and transgressed into Spa culture, a leisure experience from a once active experience. ‘Upside Down’ takes qualities of the bath houses of the past and transforms them into a new social experience for the millennial. The history of bathing and the bath is incredibly rich, diverse, and complex. While most societies developed different ways of creating physical contact with water, incorporating the philosophy and temperament of their people and their environment, they always seemed to have the same elements in common - spiritual , hygienic, therapeutic, and social. They were institutions that reflected a holistic conception of health. The cult of the bath reflects the attitudes that the bathers held toward their bodies, sin, nudity, relaxation, and religion. The bath as we know it in contemporary culture, is therefore a great impoverishment upon this legacy. There is a need, and an opportunity now to rethink and reintroduce the public bathhouse in the contemporary urban city, and bathhouse is a ripe typology for invention and interpretation when considered against with the trend of exclusive spas . A new conception of urban public bathhouse can initiate new social dynamics, new social opportunities, and new public behaviour. The new proposal extends underground as a gesture of respect to the existing which is meant to be brought back to its original splendour opening a window to the canal. The bathhouse is designed aiming to reverse the arch of the existing Haggerston Bathhouse.

CONCEPT What if you could be given the opportunity to control the rain ? And what if you could experience it from a whole new level? The Sewer Ditch becomes the redefinition of a potential indoor future whose aim is to be closer to the exterior in qualities, uses and routines. An attractive art installation (The Rain Room) is here redesigned not only to serve as an artistic insight in everyday lives but also to serve as a sustainable system within the existing urban context. Being inspired by the old watercourses in Shoreditch, The Sewer Ditch (as Shoreditch was once called) is a thrilling whole new concept that the local community of tomorrow will be ready to embrace. Concrete sewer pipes become the revolutionary thinking behind the design of a new hotel room thought to borrow new exciting views over the city. The hotel of the future has never been any closer, combining historical traits of the area with a spark of retro futuristic fashion for the fantastic, delusional dreams of our past to come back to life.

We are in the Sewer Room. The round walls take the users into an unique and memorable experience. Out of the window is the cityscape with its early lights showing. It is the perfect location to escape from the reality and the users are immersed in the space age experience. The concrete cylindrical body is adorned of LED strip lights reflected by the big round window almost like in an infinite parallel universe. The red bed is sitting low and the breathtaking view is dominant through the whole length of the room.

CONCEPT
Named after the Roman Health goddess, Salus is the ambitious proposal for a new artificial gravity module to be implemented on the International Space Station (I.S.S.). In April 2010, President Obama declared a space pioneering goal for the United States in general and NASA in particular: “The goal would be no longer the destination to reach. The goal is the capacity for people to work and learn and operate and live safely beyond the Earth for extended periods of time, ultimately in ways tahat are more sustainable and even indefinite”. These sets a new goal for space exploration, with the expansion of human presence into the solar system to advance innovation, benefits to humanity, and international collaboration. Any space flight despite its duration, occurs in an extreme environment that has unique stressors. Even with excellent selection methods, the potential for behavioral problems among space crews remain a threat to mission success. Astronauts represent one of the working class better monitored and assisted in the mattter of mental health. What about its Architectural and Design approach? The ISS is predominantly monochromatic. ``crews over the years have added some colour in the form of personal items such as flag from an alma mater or other mementos that are left behind when they leave but in general, the interior decor of the ISS is not what provides the greatest variety in sensory input. Instead, it is the ever-changing view from the windows. All of the above sets a new challenge. Salus is the answer!
“Incredible design, which showcases off-piste thinking, professional-level research and an outstanding presentation”

Artificial gravity, as it is usually conceived, is the inertial reaction to the centripetal acceleration that acts on a body in circular motion. Artificial-gravity environments are often characterized in terms of four parameters:
Radius from the center of rotation. Angular Velocity or “spin rate.” Tangential Velocity or “rim speed.” Centripetal Acceleration or “gravity level.” These four parameters are interdependent: specifying values for any two of them determines the values of the other two as well.

PHASE 3 PHASE 2
PHASE 1
Salus can be built with only three lift offs from ground. This is possible through the use of inflatable walls which help minimise not only costs but also the space capability of the current space shuttles. This The construction of the Salus structure is in this diagram summed up in three phases: 1 The Spherical module is attached through the existing docking system of Harmony. At this point one tunnel support is inserted and construction can begin in orbit. 2 Through the canadian robotic arm attached at the front of the ISS, the inner structure starts to take its form. The remaining two tunnels are inserted too. 3 In its final stage the walls are inflated in an accordion like fashion as shown in diagram 1.1. Further detail of the wall structure in figure 1.2

CONCEPT The Watertight proposes a long life to Village Underground. Inspired by the rich history of the area the proposal of this dual use space (restaurant/gallery) is the intent of preserving qualities of the gentrified borough so to be kept for the future generations. It goes back even further than the Elizabethan era, deep into pre-Roman times before Londinium was established as a civilian town after the invasion of AD43. Then, the underworld rose up out of the gravelly ground via old springs and wells around which people gathered for ritual, song and dance. The holy well of Shoreditch, after which Holywell Lane is named, was one such ancient site of celebration that attracted water cults and healing ceremonies. There are signs of a Roman shrine where the ‘scared spring’, the source of the River Walbroke, emerged and ran out southwards on a course marked by Curtain Road. Since pre-history, the rituals that clustered around the water have become more theatrical, more secular, and increasingly devoted to pleasure and entertainment. Based on a idea as simple as bright, Waterlight Graffiti’s purpose is to be a new kind of reactive material to draw or write ephemeral messages made of light. This project enables anyone to graffiti the wall of LEDs with a basic environment-friendly atomizer. To use water, which has neither shape nor colour, to draw light, is a magical experience, regardless of the public age or its artistic sensibility. This opportunity finally becomes a new kind of interaction with urban architecture. By mixing a natural element and technology, Waterlight Graffiti’s users can even play with the weather or the evaporation speed for example. Water Light Graffiti also has a surprising role during rainy days and turn them into fireworks of damp LEDs. Waterlight Graffiti is an installation created by Antonin Fornaun produced in collaboration with Art2m.

Street food has never been finer than this. The food is delivered by the waiting staff on the tables and in the aperitivo area. On the concrete and steel bar the customers can eat and drink while looking at the chefs preparing their food. The food is therefore served from the bar too.

The customers find a place where to meet, socialise and eat in the same way they will around the streets. Music, odours and light take the people in an experience similar to the food markets around the corner.

We are on the mezzanine level. The roof is here defined as conforming to the exterior on the upper level,while creating a new exciting reality on the interior. The LED screens on the structure finds place in the elegant curves of this floor designed to embrace the visitors around the art. Once the water dries off, the screens switch off giving to the entire space an extraordinary value. People are the only able to make this space artistic. Without people there is no art.
The furnitures in the restaurant are designed to be minimalist, in order to create a better and less evident contrast between the existing and the new. Taken in consideration the ergonomic the tables are made of concrete slabs rising up from the floor and curving alongside the main central structure. The design of the Bertoia chair best find its place. The fine metal frame of this piece is perfectly going near the lattice structure. From the main structure a diamond patterned system of LED lighting is running all over the floor (see the floor plan) giving to it an elegant look. The industrial look of the existing is kept by the brickwork on the wall, and it is well preserved with the white steel lattice structure avoiding contact with the walls.
