EX - SEED 2012FALL PENNDESIGN STUDIO WINKA DUBBELDAM - BOGOTA DOWNTOWING REDEVELOPMENT GROUP CONCEPT Our project is about the vision for the future Bogota; and even for the future of the other cities in world. The name “ExSeed” indicates our project theme: urban farming and eco city. The goal is to create a greener, healthier and more efficient city life that benefits everyone, and leading to a more sustainable future to next generations in Bogota.

In this studio, we did in-depth research on downtown Bogota and applying bottomup theory to design: City’s all kinds of flows are studied based on government ICT data (including transportation, river, farming, real-estate, etc.). We put three kinds of flows into the city data field and observe the deformation and formation of new pattern, which become the city new context of our concept.

NEGENTROPIC 2013SPRING STUDIO CECIL BALMOND - NON-LINEAR METHODOLOGIES DESERT MUSEUM DESIGN DEATH VAELLY , CA

SECTION OF SITE

Death Valley We are fascinated by the evidence of water meandering the site in Furnace Creek, Death Valley, which happens in every spring, left channels of river courses on land, some even reach 2 to 4 meters depth. Being Inspired by this, we want to create a museum that meandered itself , that people can explore like in spatial maze ...
