Art Installations

ACADEMIC YEAR:

2017 Winter

SITE:

Santa Monica Beach, LA, CA

SUPERVISOR:

Mark Mack, Steve Lee

SPECIFICATION:

Each student will select a technique of changing an existing facade into a interactive architectural setting using various techniques of temporary enhancements. The enhancement needs to be visible in day and nighttime use. Each student will create a design which can be overlaid onto an existing structure, considering structural and environmental issues relevant to the particular site.

MORPHOLOGY & ARCHITECTURE Bio Dynamic Island Design TYPE:

Architecture & Urban Design

ACADEMIC YEAR:

2016 Summer

SITE:

Haikou, Hainan island, China

SUPERVISOR:

UCLA suprastudio faculties

SPECIFICATION:

The Technology Seminar - ROBOTIC CARTOGRAPHY and the Studio - BIO DYNAMIC ISLAND, led by Julia Koerner, investigate emergent technologies including 3D scanning, robotic video capturing and digital analysis of natural artifacts on micro and macro scales. An exploration into various design media including bio-mimicry research and generative design morphology are included in the exhibition in the form of additive manufactured morphologies and CNC-fabricated scaled-up topologies.

Instrument Design (tech seminar)

ACADEMIC YEAR:

2017 Winter

SITE:

IDEAS Campus

SUPERVISOR:

Steve Lee

SPECIFICATION:

The 2017 Winter Quater Tech Seminar will be exploring the topic of “instrumentalization of space“ in relation to Mark Mack Suprastudio’s main thesis Performance + Architecture. The seminar will be looking into various ways to create visual + musical instruments to compose, sequence and play spatial performance using contemporary digital technologies including sensory input devices, acoustical and digital instruments, MIDI and projection mapping.

Instrument Design (tech seminar)

ACADEMIC YEAR:

2017 Winter

SITE:

MOMA PS1, CA

SUPERVISOR:

Steve Lee

SPECIFICATION:

The 2016 Fall Quarter Tech Seminar will be focusing on “Motion in Architecture” in relation to Mark Mack Suprastudio’s main thesis Performance + Architecture. The seminar will be looking into various types of choreographic movements, chronophotographic techniques and animations in order to learn how animated forms and spatial elements play together in large as a group and how they are organized within specific timeframes in relation to music to deliver various effects and emotions.

The final project will be a 5 minute choreography of architectural space using various choreographic forms (ABA, Cannon, Suite etc.) and digital techniques and will be presented in the format of live performance.

For research, the seminar will be focusing on various dance genres as precedent studies including ballet, figure skating, breakdancing and contemporary stage performances to learn how bodily movements are expressed within various timeframes in relation to music and audience. Students will be tracing bodily movements of various dances styles using contemporary digital techniques and will learn how to translate the information into abstractions as design elements.

Salt Sea, Coachella Valley CA

SUPERVISOR:

Mark Mack, Steve Lee

SPECIFICATION:

Friday, April 14 through Sunday, April 16 marked the secret launch of Year One of the Bombay Beach Biennale (following April 2016’s Year Zero) in the quirky town of Bombay Beach, CA located at the largest man-made disaster in the country, the dying Salton Sea. Through an infusion of art, music, and philosophy, awareness is brought to the plight of this derelict yet inspiring place through its transformation into an art movement unlike anything else in the world. Over 100 artists, performers, and speakers were invited to dialogue and explore all interpretations of the concept and process of the year one theme: The Way the Future Used To Be. The experience was totally collaborative and free, being led and self-funded by participants and artists along with founders Stefan Ashkenazy, Lily Johnson-White, and Tao Ruspoli.

The so-called utopian world often based on immoderate claim for natural resources. From top to bottom, the closer to the nature, the more tragedy happening, while human handprints represent the conflict and struggle in this world.We can’t just asking for everything, but giving something back to our planet.

We hope to build a Woodsy pier in Bombay beach, making it an oasis in the wilderness area. We have the command building, cargo terminal and ferry terminal. Large areas of green space is also available for passengers waiting for the cruise. When you walk through the overhead visit channel, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery here.

Thank you for your time
