One of the most pressing global health challenges of the twenty-first century is the increasing growth of urban populations around the world.

With urbanisation comes a distinct combination of benefits and drawbacks. This population shift is accompanied by economic expansion and industrialisation, as well as significant shifts in social structure and family life patterns. Increased stresses and factors such as an overcrowded and polluted environment, high levels of violence, and limited social support all have an impact on mental health.  The challenges are diverse and the entire population is affected by urbanisation.

 

Psychoses, depression, sociopathy, substance abuse, alcoholism, criminality, delinquency, vandalism, family dissolution, and estrangement are only a few of the diseases and deviancies linked to urbanisation. Given the wide range of health and wellness outcomes linked to environment exposure, the loss in nature experiences could be a direct cause to these difficulties. Exposure to nature has an important behavioural component with people choosing how often and how long they interact with the natural world.

 

Hence, people need a place where they can interact with nature and their inner self. Studies have showed that spending more time with nature and having a quiet place to meditate helps with a lot of physical and mental problems that one faces in urban lifestyle. Not the gardens, not the parks, but a space dedicated specifically to achieve peace of mind.

 

OBJECTIVE

Design a space for people to go to find inner peace. A place where they can interact with nature and meditate in peace. A space where one can find exposure to the environment. Craft a space where people can achieve their peace of mind in betweeen the hustles of their city lives.

  • Aim is to provide a space for people to self therapise themselves or in small groups to keep up with the pace of urban cities.
  • Outline a space which takes people away from their daily struggles and problems, and helps them in achieving their harmony.
  • Incorporate spaces for therapeutic activities like meditation, yoga etc.
  • Incorporate nature integrated/interactive solutions
  • The space should work alike for people of every age group
  • There is no site restriction
  • There is no area restriction

REITERATING THE VERTICAL URBAN FACTORY

The decentralization of the industrial city, brought about by the humanitarian and sociological crisis in urban centers at the end of the 18th century, solidified the hegemonic roles that industry and infrastructure currently play in urban expansion, albeit incompatibly with urban life. This “removal of process” from cities (Rappaport 2014) compelled us to design industry away from cities instead of adapting industry to them.
Although this crisis was resolved, nowadays with the incessant cultural and ludic densification of river-front areas in cities worldwide – and the aforementioned peripheralization of industry from these locations – there have been tensions between these newfound uses and irreplaceable industry, still in use.
In the oriental edge of Lisbon there is a silage terminal – The Beato Silage Terminal, that by managing more that 20% of all grain that the country consumes, is an irreplaceable element in Lisbon’s port.
This irreplaceable industry, in the face of Beato’s newfound creative development as well as Lisbon’s riverfront massive urban projects creates a new architectural stranglehold.
Given this clash of forces, could this infrastructure be integrated into Beato’s urbanity, instead of being removed or completely separated from the city? Could it simultaneously be, as an hybrid building, adapted to meet the needs of the Beato region as the new creative hub of Lisbon?
For this integration to be possible, a symbiotic relationship of value between two main programs is created a long with the utilization of a sub product of the silage process.
In beato, art is produced and not exposed, therefore the creation of ways to integrate the art community with its desired public is imperative. Yet proposing an artistic center could be a catalyst towards gentrification and therefore could be an inadequate solution.
The proposal aims to respond to this problem by establishing a relationship with two main programs: Amenities (cafés, restaurants and retail) and spaces for the creation of art (workshops, performance art spaces, and co-work spaces). It is proposed that these two cores be adapted in a way as to always establish a visual connection between the creative process and the amenities, creating value. This value would then be redistributed as to sustain the spaces used by the art community.
The intervention, therefore, results from a sectioning of a number of silo cells as to create two programmatic cores (amenities and makerspaces) with clear sight views between. These sight views, between the creative process and the amenities, create value. This value would then be redistributed as to sustain the spaces used by the art community. Then, the grain dust produced by the silage residue would be used as compost in order also sustain the amenities via a farm greenhouse.
This phenomenon of the process removal (Rappaport, 2014) is then, essentially reversed by the conception of an architecture that integrates the industrial process urban life. This results in a project that simultaneously responds to the needs of the Beato region, integrating them with the industrial process of the silage complex.

Jury Comments:

“Interesting interpretation of an industrial architecture redeveloped through innovative and regenerative functions.”

“The concern of adapting an industrial building to the city is interesting. Great development of the building, good level of detail. perfect presentation.”

AIKYAM: A MEMORIAL FOR PEACE, POKHRAN

A peace memorial is a contrast to a war memorial. Where a war memorial showcases a dreadful event of war in history, peace memorial on the other hand appreciates the state of contentment.
The approach of making this peace memorial has been through the passage of drastic events faced during a war or a conflict. The project marks the value and importance of peace by showcasing the aftermath of a war.
After independence the scenario of peace in India has worsened. We have been ranked 139th position among 163 countries in the global peace index 2020. The project tries to show the importance of peace as well as stands as the face for “India with Peace”.
To imagine such a project, a research on ‘memorial spaces and its user experience’ and multiple case studies of buildings such as: Peace memorial, Hiroshima; Yad Vashem, Israel, etc. have been done.
The conclusion of the research emerged that, though interaction between the memorial space and its occupant is emotionally impacted through various factors like sound, temperature etc. but its majorly through its form, material and light.
Now the case studies were achieved accordingly. Different spaces from these projects (interior and exterior) were studied and a certain pattern was analysed about the context, location, approach, zoning and the circulation on site and inside the structure, etc. Features such as radial approach, continuous & forced circulation, etc. have been carried forward to the design.
Keeping in mind that a site should have a great context; also people of the vicinity must know the outcomes of a war, Pokhran was considered the most suitable location for the project. It is the nuclear test site of India. The people of Pokhran are aware of the destruction and know that if a war breaks then it will be the end of humanity.
The project has been dealt with in such a way that maximum tourists can be attracted to the site. For this an illusion has been created. The site has been developed in such a way that it appears as if the site has witnessed a war.

The project tries to show that a visitor must experience numerous emotions through their journey. For experiencing the true value of peace a person has been taken through destruction, fear, anxiety, loneliness etc. of war. For this dark spaces have been created with angular walls, huge heights, narrow spaces etc. and even the landscaping is inspired from warscape with several monuments for the same.
The project incorporates several techniques such as windmills and solar panels to generate sustainable energy, spaces are submerged in the ground to make them cool and to make them more comfortable wind towers are also used which will also cope up with the extreme climate of Pokhran. Hence, these techniques make the project economically viable.
The project drives with the notion that after visualizing the torments of war an individual will realize the virtuous of peace and push the idea of a better world.

Jury Comments:

“A project that in its deep interpretation makes you reflect and excite through an architecture made of contemplative spaces that recount the atrocities and devastation of a war.”

“The idea of ​​creating this building has managed to overcome traditional standards, creating different experiences and routes in a building”

LA MEGALÓPOLIS DE NADIE

A research and a proposal for the occupation of Public Space in Mexico City
As reported by INEGI (InstitutoNacional de Estadística y Geografía), in the second quarter of 2018, in Mexico, about 30,500,000 people worked in the informal sector: these numbers show an increase of 3.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. In Mexico City, five out of ten workers belong to the informal sector, dedicating themselves to cleaning, construction, transportation and a multitude of services and commercial activities. Faced with this scenario, some deputies of the Morena party proposedto regularize more than 2,000,000 street workers. The municipality is also taking steps to raise millions of dollars to invest in public works.
This project proposal, based on field research, therefore moves in the direction of finding a compromise between the design of the public space and its occupation by the actors of the informal sector, considered not a problem for the city but rather a precious resource for the functioning of a complex metropolis. In fact, living the city on a daily basis, people have to face journeys that last up to an hour or more and during this time they are accompanied and come into contact with the dense network of products and services offered informally in a rapid and diffused way.
Following a systematic analysis of case studies found in the public space, therefore, the project for an urban infrastructure was designed in an area of the historic city center with a strong commercial identity.
The identified lot has a pre-existing simple metal roof built to accommodate a community of traders established in the area for several generations. The choice to intervene in this area was therefore dictated by the “non-virgin” nature place as a first mediation hadalready taken place between “top-down” logic and “bottom-up” processes.
Thanks to direct contact with users, it was possible to collect some of the dominant issues that were taken into account during the design: the result is a structure that works on more than one spatial scale trying to integrate attention to the context, enhancement of services and sustainability.
The project was thereforere solved in a modulated wooden structure to allow the circulation of common users and informal devices.
Through a series of simple space operations we have met the needs of users who have already been located for years in the area and further space has been set up for public activities, leaving a certain amount of “negotiable” space for random informal activities.
Working at multiple scales (infrastructure, architecture and design), we tried to create a variety of situations to make the project more flexible suggesting different uses.
The project is a lineal space with a certain variety of environments which host more fixed activities, others more occasional and widely offer new areas for socialization and leisure.
A certain attention was also given to the design of technological solutions to achieve easy maintain ability and the reduction of waste of the parts that would gradually deteriorate.

Jury Comments:

“Stimulating analysis of the relationship with urban space, interesting the typological schemes and the development of the idea, It was necessary to transmit a little more strength on urban and human connections and the well-being that a similar project would be able to give”

“Very complete analysis and proposed design result for urban problems”

APPARATUS OF AMUSEMENT

A retail for post consumption. Experimenting alternate productive relations to mindless consumption.
The trigger that started the enquiry for ‘Apparatus of amusement’ was through the understanding of the age of Anthropocene and the impact that humans have created on the surroundings through the commodified world we live in. Tracing the roots which have led up to this capitalist setting of the society, the factors affecting it and the consumerist strategies which leads to a numb state of mindless consumption by deciphering the epitome of consumerist typology of ‘shopping mall’. These extravagancies lead to the collective notion of excesses termed as ‘waste’.
Further, the study tries to map the end of life journey of an everyday object in an urban setting of Mumbai through understanding the formal excess network in Mumbai, role of the informal agents and the existing repurpose network.Now, what if we consider a point in transition from post-consumption till it gets considered as trash, the project offers alternate repurpose solutions for the second life of the objects categorized into household objects, fashion and electronics, and a proposed network of these post-consumption processes which informs the shortcomings of our primary system of waste management and the exceeded landfills.
These alternate systems are experimented in an existing retail setting of dysfunctional shopping mall, the Prime mall of Irla market street, the street has a vibrant retail character which fails to reflect when the typology of a mall is inserted in the scenario. While mapping the current use of the mall, it was concluded that 60 percent of the mall was not functioning and hence it needed programmatic injectors to create a life of the structure around it.
The project challenges to reverse the conventional notion of retail in a hyper-mediated urban setting which induces passivity in the consumers, by using the post-consumption objects in our ‘buy and discard’ society, oscillating roles of a consumer to provide radical solutions to move towards ‘circularity’
The project proposes at three scales Repurpose decentralized system which is alternative to the existing waste management system, Repurposing of the Prime mall and Irla street project intervention.The programmatic components include the wall of labour as protagonist intersecting the RCC grid, the apparatuses are devices which have simple machines and mechanisms where a process takes place. A role-player takes part in these apparatuses to perform a task which helps in repurposing. Some of the major programme include the event spacewhich records the reactions of role-players along with the leaderboards, the hall of experiments where the processes converge which then leads on to the labyrinth consumer’s playgroundwhere a calmer spacetakes you away from the hyper-real and the noisy street.
Furthermore, theproject tries to reframes the role of human in the social and ecological sphere as a shift in the current paradigm for decentralizing ways to manage our objects in our ‘buy and discard’ society.

Jury Comments:

“Very interesting and strong idea of organization of the spaces dedicated to the awareness of the concept of sustainable recycling. It would have been interesting to develop and strengthen a narrative of interactions between people and connected spaces with the same graphic character.”

“Excellent design that solves the problem raised. Good level of detail and expression of the sheet.”

ADAPTIVE SOCIO-CULTURAL EPICENTRE.

It was a library and will always be but in another way. Libraries today have changed in many aspects, regarding the function, the use, and the form. It might be thought that libraries will disappear in the future and people will no longer use them. However, libraries aren’t important for only reading, but in being a fundamental function in the community and a true meaning of generations’ renaissance.
The project is a new representation of libraries in the MENA region, offered to all people without the need of using transportation. The project was inspired by a personal experience, as it was noticed that people in the MENA region can hardly go to libraries by walking, as it is far from their homes. In other words, libraries are not accessible to different categories of people such as children, elderlies, and people with disabilities. The project is divided into two main functions; the library and the cultural research centre that studies the cultural aspect of the site and supports the library.

The solution started from the site selection that was based mainly on the distance which the average person can walk without taking a rest and it was 1.6 km (between 15-20 minutes walking) to reach the site. The project started from Jawa, people in Jawa expressed the necessity of providing socio-cultural activities. In Amman, in general, there were many problems that people mentioned regarding the library and how it is not safely reachable by all people.
The definition of the project came from its two parts: the practical and the theoretical ones. The practical part -the public library- serves today as a contemporary culture library and it has the same function as the community centres. The theoretical part is represented by the cultural research centre and precisely studies the performance-oriented view of research culture that relies on quantitative measures and focuses on research outputs and their impact on the economy and society. When the two parts are combined with sustainable development principles –to serve future’s and today’s needs-, we have an adaptive socio-cultural epicenter. “Adaptive” came from the idea that the project will be adaptive to all sites that have the same issues. And “EpiCentre” came from the extreme use of sustainable principles of the design.

The project is based on its sustainable core – which is part of the library – that represents a flexible and enjoyable journey that the client will have in order to make the project active 24 hours. Moreover, it is the link between other functions of the design. When moving up, the noise become less increasingly. Mainly the project is designed in concrete and steel. Using different materials than those commonly used in Jawa in order to propose a new image and to bring attention and curiosity about the project.

Jury Comments:

“Interesting spatial and architectural organization of a new way of conceiving a library. It would be interesting to give more strength to the idea”

“Beautiful presentation. A building that very well solves socio-cultural needs integrated into the environment.”

TOWARDS THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE LANDFILL:
TRANSFORMING GARBAGE DUMPS INTO PROACTIVE PARKS

Most cities around the globe follow a linear model in their operation: a flow of input/supply- be it energy, water, people, food, vehicles, and material – is processed and consumed resulting into an output flow of sewage, garbage, waste, and pollution. Such an unsustainable operation necessitates that every city designates a “backyard” to dispose of its output on a site that is out of its sight. The impact of such statement is seen at the social and urban level of most cities, where the public is totally absent in these highly industrial areas. It is safe to say that when the flow of the public is cut from the waste management sector, people are less likely to know about their anthropic actions. How could architecture change the way backyards are seen by people, and turn them into anchors for environmental awareness?

In this thesis, I have chosen the saturated dump of Tripoli, the city where I live. Located at the delta of the polluted city river, this backyard is composed of a 60,000 m2 garbage landfill with a volume of 3,000,000 m3, a centralized sewage treatment plant, a wholesale vegetable market, and a municipal slaughterhouse. Architecture design strategies must therefore answer: how is man meeting the machine in the context of sustainable design? As the metamorphosis of Tripoli’s waste disposal and flow systems takes 7 years to happen at the waterfront, various structural and environmental transformations happen on site. The project answers this question by dealing with 2 dimensions. The first dimension is the urban integration of the proposed program into the parcel. The project is made of 4 parts: the park, the solid waste management machines, the proposed research center, and the visitor center. What stands out the most in this urban strategy is the architectural embodiment of the visitor center’s path to rewire the flow of the public to all functions of the project. This path is crucial to raise awareness from start to finish. In other words, as people walk through the project, they observe the process of waste management from waste segregation at the sorting plant till waste disposal in the inaccessible parts of the park. The second-dimension deals with the project’s building technology to cut off nearly 80% of its electrical bill by extending the waste process to a further step. As biogas is released in the Co-Digestion by digestors, it is pumped to the biogas treatment plant where methane is extracted. When treating LFG in the LFG treatment plant, it is purified and then processed by reciprocating engines to produce electricity. The small power station generates around 150 kW/year, which is slightly more than enough to run the facility. As their connection to nature grows, so their connection to the park, which strengthen the public’s awareness and responsibility. Design strategies behind the project rendered the park a proactive and sustainable environment that aims at minimizing the ecological footprint across generations.

Jury Comments:

“Very interesting project from the conceptual point of view of developing a garbage dumps regeneration project and transforming it into a laboratory of sustainability and education about environmental impacts. It would be interesting to give more strength to the part of representation and construction of the idea.”

“Reached a good level of detail in the development of the building, an idea consistent with the problem.”

First Prize Winner_ Shruti Madhukar Teli

Point in Architecture

Point in architecture is about relatability,
Relatability where the human feels belonged,
The merge of structures with sky and water where every human wants the life to prolonged,
Water and sky are seamless elements that liven up the whole architecture,
With different time in a day gives you the whole new painting and a vision for future.
I was a lost kid when asked why architecture,
Found my answer with the experience of roads and not a google with the real picture,
Water, my friend is though 70% in human and helps you to live,
Appreciating its existence is an architecture’s need.
Sky is free and makes the structure effortless,
With just the change in position of the sun gives your structure a new paint with light and shadow,
The experience becomes limitless.
Modernism made human reached sky but the ground is so far that he lost the vision for the sky,
Yes, due to the land scarcity and increasing population there is a need of height,
But not so much that it becomes human existence’s fight.
Architect is the greatest artist to have the endless elements like sky and water,
Other artist has limited paints, red, blue and green,
But remember my friend! we this world’s writer.
So, lets write a story with every human as a protagonist,
Let them see the endless possibilities in water and a sky to feel free.
Relatability is structure being in the vision line so that every element can be appreciated,
Let human choose his point in architecture for multiple visions and experience to be created.
POINT IN ARCHITECTURE IS ABOUT RELATIBILITY,
Because with relatability human will just feel apprehended.
Now, is the time to think of this as the most important element in the architecture,
Otherwise, one day, it will be just concrete jungle where humans will have aim for the future
But the experience that is eternal will take departure.

Second Prize Winner_ Swapnil Biswas

Point in Architecture

Architecture over the years has witnessed deformation, reconstruction, revolution as well as deconstruction.
Idea, Medium and Result are fundamentally the three basic principles for any artists, craftsmen or architects. But, the sole necessity to develop a concept or an idea is to deliver its purpose; in layman terms, to prove a point. The notion of ‘Point’ has not always been conceptual or intangible for that matter, the origin of very tangible realities or rather geometries where we reside in, are nothing but a complex juxtaposition of points.

Through my artwork, I wanted to represent the true complexity of ‘Point’ by merging both the geometric reality of a constructed space- the photograph on the left; and the juxtaposition of the same with the digital realism, to complete a composition.
Since the functional purpose of the subject (that is, the building) was not truly showcasing, the renders along the middle and the right, balances the functionality that the building claims to house, a communal plaza.

2nd Prize winner

Swapnil Biswas

I am a fourth year B.Arch student from School of planning and architecture, New Delhi. Also an illustrator, graphic designer and a curious photographer.

As per my understanding of architecture over these years, I believe that the art of designing spaces has a purpose to narrate a story. These stories then tend to stitch together to form a muse. I empathize to give priorities to various mediums and concepts through my works, which in turn forms a backbone for the muse.

Check out an interesting INTERVIEWof the winner here.

 

 

Third Prize Winner_ Madhulika Pandraj

Point in Architecture

The point in the photograph shows the amalgamation of many pictures in different perspectives defining the thought of the designer whilst taking concepts in his mind. Each perspective snapped from a different angle signifies the ebb and flow of a graph during the building process. Various photographs collated followed by the mix of elements, where we reach our focal point of elemental point in architecture. Not only the building elements matter while talking about architecture but the space as a whole. The natural elements too play a vital role in shaping the architecture of a place. The blue sky tell us no matter how far we go we got to stick to the ground, the tress notifies us of the changing seasons as the fickling mood of the humans, the blossoming flowers make the most stressful of the day the most colourful, the stars and the moonlight makes the darker shine, the sunlight brings another day of a happy struggle, the rain tells us to take a break from our busy life and enjoy for a while, while the soil is where we start from and where we die and the humans in the die is what the world is about. They are not just elements but emotions of the people living in and around that lively building. Therefore the point in architecture is not just the elemental approach but how elements can combine with each other and wake the dead to live.

3rd Prize winner

Madhulika Pandraj
Honorable Mention_ Dana Ibrahim

Point in Architecture

Structure plays an important role in architecture, and we cannot have successful projects without a well-studied structure. But What if we can look at it from an aesthetic side?

The image highlights the role of the structure alongside other parts of the building to create an amazing view that humans can enjoy. And at the end, they will merge at one point in the sky.

Honourable mention

Dana Ibrahim

An architect who finds architecture a wide field that is linked to many others. Gained experience through traveling and participating in many activities such as internships, competitions, and workshops around the world, yet still, strives to see lots more!

 

 

 

Honorable Mention_ Khyati Solanki

Point in Architecture

The founding element of everything – Point, also shows the position.
This photograph shows how when I put myself at a particular point was I able to get the Perspective of this Staircase. Architecture has different points of perspective formations depending on the positioning of the viewer.
The two contrary concepts of point and perspective are well balanced in this image. Point doesn’t have length, width or depth and perspective needs them all to be defined. Perspective is a series of vanishing points.
With the rise in creating more scenic and sophisticated forms in architecture, perspectives have been the most beautiful ones till date. They are easily eye pleasing and require the bare minimum to exist. One-Point perspectives have been the easiest of them all to be found and identified.
A photograph is considered to be the most powerful form of visual communication as it is momentary based. A moment once gone is never coming back.
This is a photograph of the fire-escape staircase of an apartment building in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

Honourable mention

Khyati Solanki

I am Khyati Solanki – an architect by profession, a photographer by passion and a construction manager in making. My journey has been full of learnings from the above mentioned fields. With my photographs displayed in Canada and all across India in various exhibitions, I also have around 19 awards to my name. My genres of practice range from product photography to newborn, maternity and lifestyle, wildlife, architecture and landscapes. I am grateful for all the opportunities I have come across and look forward to collaborating with more same minded people.

 

 

 

Honorable Mention_ Ruiqi Xu

Point in Architecture

The point is the most fundamental element of architecture, creating the space through the process of forming lines, surfaces and breps. This process embodies the significance of the use of space. We cannot deny the significance of this real function for the user, but at the same time we cannot ignore the role of this space in meeting the spiritual needs of people. Therefore, the point in architecture is given more meaning.

Our submission is a bookstore design project. It is located at the foot of the mountain, next to the ring road. It is a good place to go when people want to relax at the end of the weekday. The overall design creates a quiet and relaxing environment, where the building blends in with its surroundings. People can enjoy the tranquility and forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

In this work the points can be interpreted as the basic elements of the space as well as the atmosphere. The reflected light from the sun shining on the glass gives a warm and peaceful feeling, the use of Klien Blur in the interior design gives a sense of clarity and openness and the warm slogans that the users inadvertently see will regroup them. These particular points create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere that satisfies people’s spiritual needs. This is one of the important aspects of the architectural design.

Honourable mention

Ruiqi Xu 

I’m Ruiqi Xu from China. I got my Bachelor of Architecture in the Qingdao University of Technology. And now I’m doing my master degree of architecture in The University of Sheffield in UK. I think architectural design is not just to meet people’s needs for space. We need to consider more about the meaning of architecture for people’s spiritual world and how to meet people’s spiritual needs. This may be the reason why I continue to explore architectural design.

Runze Tian

I’m Runzetian from China. I got my Bachelor of Architecture in the Qingdao University of Technology. And now I’m doing my master degree of architecture in the Zhejiang University in China. I like watching movies.As far as I am concerned,a movie is a narrative space while an architecture is a special narration.The point of architecture,which is a counterpart of the scene of a movie, is not only a basic unit of a complicated system,but also an abstract symbol of a thought.

Home_2121 Winners Announced! http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/19196 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/19196#respond Thu, 23 Sep 2021 10:12:33 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=19196 Home_2121 is a design architecture competition organized by archiol in association with artuminate.
The most significant architecture space that we experience throughout our life is our home, what will be the idea of home in the year 2121? With technological advancement in architecture, our idea of home has changed for the past 100 years and continues to do so even today. The competition expected the participants to propose a single family home. Define how residents interact with the proposed design in graphical representation.
Home_2121 competition received 121 entries from around the world.

First Prize Winner_ bothy, No.2121 Conservatory Park by Naiyue Zhang

bothy, No.2121 Conservatory Park by Naiyue Zhang

I start this concept by imagining life in the future in 2121. If it was 2121, when humans still existed and chose to live in reality, AR wearable facilities and holographic emitters might replace the status of current smart phones. On the other hand, climate and population in 2121 might not be as good as 100 years before; however, many people are working on new energy and looking for new materials nowadays. These facts make me speculate that people of the future will use materials in laboratory to build more sustainable living places, and decreasing population lead to urban decline, many towns turn to ruins and forests.
Then I start the story by imagining a hypothetical family unit. There are two adults doing field research on botany in an abandoned site. They choose to make their home near the ruins of one conservatory, they own a child study in a boarding school, and a dog as an assistant to guard against wild animals. In 2121, telecommuting will become more common, especially for recluses and researchers. These two adults will use their devices to communicate remotely with colleagues and the child. Besides, the advance of information transmission equipment makes individuals paying more attention to the distance so that the living room will shrink and blend with the kitchen in this context.
In consideration of the stability of the structure, I decided to make the building plan circular. Circles have no direction, so that this architecture can collect solar energy and water from all around. This plan is arranging in order from public to private. At its centre is a functional space with a thick solid wall. The bathroom, machine room and storage is located here. The water around the centre is used for cooling and noise reduction in addition to decoration.
In terms of materials, I chose carbon steel fibre skeleton and Polytetrafluoroethylene membrane. Carbon steel fibre is light and robust, and the membrane surface will adjust insulation performance by inflating and deflating. For equipment, storage batteries, power generation units, equipment rooms, and rainwater treatment will be installed to save energy and ensure emergency needs. These designs aim for a more extreme future climate. In addition to being placed in forests, this structure can also appear above water in coastal cities and flood-prone areas if its foundation becomes a floating object.
Therefore, I ended up naming this project ‘bothy, No.2121 Conservatory Park’. A bothy is an essential home, especially one for housing farm labourers or mountain refuges. I expect this bothy can give future humans a place to go back, no matter what environment they live.

Jury Comments:

“The project proposes a life where we start to understand the consequences of human evolution and pollution in the world and redefine our relationship with our planet— a simple design with striking characteristics of a living architecture: responsive, adaptable and customizable. ”

“An interesting take on a world that is radically changed and hurt but still ordinary and recognizable. Professional level of design response, detailing and presentation. The structure and its technical characteristics feel ready to be used already now. Can be imagined as emergency housing but also as a lifestyle choice.”

“thought is given to materiality and context.
Houses located on water and on desert will need different foundation considerations w.r.t design, material and weight, yet good attempt.”

 

Second Prize Winner_ Round House by Gyu Jin Kim, Da Som Park & Hyeon chae Song

Round House by Gyu Jin Kim, Da Som Park & Hyeon chae Song

I’m thirsty…….
I should drink the water I saved last night.
I think I can wash and drink this water for at least two days.
Although water gathers constantly from internal and external purifying rainwater systems, it is nice to see this amount that I barely use in a day by collecting it all the time.
After drinking water, I went out and saw large buildings that were built 100 years ago. After the desertification, there is no means of receiving water, so it is impossible to live in such a place, but sometimes I go up and look at the surrounding landscape.
As resources became run out due to global warming and environmental problems, countries fought for resources, and instead of acquiring resources, they self-destructed, and the earth became a huge desert without the current concept of a country.
The water quickly dried up, and people left the city one by one and began to wander around the world looking for water. Now, I should stop by the station and get some food and information.
After tidying up the surroundings, I went inside the house to reposition the structures that were supporting the house.
As moving constantly, I continue to search for possible water sources, but they are still nowhere to be found.
I was hungry, so I rotated the inside to bring the food warehouse down. I picked up the potatoes in the box and rotated the inside again to bring down the kitchen. After baking potatoes to fill my stomach and worrying about various things, I moved to the docking station. A lot of people gather at the station because it is a place where drinkable water is stored, food is grown and exchanged for goods. In exchange for food, I brought some books from the urban area. With this, I do not need to worry about food for a few days.
Going to the lounge, people were talking and exchange information. They said water cannot be seen from the north and northeast. Comparing the direction I came from, I should go west. I said good-bye to the people and went home. Now that I have food and information, I have to start looking for water again.
Looking at the gauge, I found the wastewater tank is almost full.
Along the way, I’ll take out the sewer and spray it in the desert. I don’t know when it will be, but this manure might make the land green again. It’s already dark as I follow the direction. I have to save solar energy that I have stored during the day, so I should get ready to sleep early today. I’m going to stretch the structure again and fix it to the ground before I wrap it up for one day.

Jury Comments:
“Satisfies most completely all attributes looking for: an appealing design idea, elegant and straightforward. The idea forged human connectivity and intelligently reinterpreted individuality dynamically. Iconic architectural design concept without being dominating, rigid and fixed, combining water and landscape integration. Appreciate the ‘void’ concept within the diversity of the environment as a strategy. The not conventional interpretation of a home; interior views looks open and immersive. Provide for a full range of living zones to experience. The graphics and board layout are very pleasing and clear to understand.”

“In a clearly inhospitable environment scenario, the idea and execution are a believable survival mechanism, although one could imagine technological prototyping to achieve this would be difficult under such conditions. Pessimistic entry but with very coherent world building.”

“interesting graphics & tumbeweed concept, but does not appear practical considering the fixed residential unit in the center. Residents are bound to feel motion sickness.
Not enough thought given to practical application.”

 

 

Third Prize Winner_ House of Dwelling or Leisure by Yu Fu

House of Dwelling or Leisure by Yu Fu

Due to the increasing of living pressure and the improvement of consumption level, more and more citizens living in urban leaving the city during the holidays, and return to nature in order to relaxing themselves. The phenomenon has promoted the renewal of the tourism and living mode. In the face of this, in 2121, the vacation home is not only a temporary shelter for travelers to survive, but a “home” that can be filled with rich emotions and accommodate diverse activities. The research tries to effectively combine the dwelling and leisure activities and creates a new type to improve the efficiency of buildings, promotes communication through sharing the dynamic space.

The design research of “The Home of Dwelling or Leisure” uses the method of typology. The problem of the research is how to establish a dynamic spatial relationship between dwelling home and leisure space in nature through the dynamic spatial characteristics, so that the multiple behaviors could be accommodated by sharing in the dynamic building.

It starts from the daily living experience and memory in home. The typical spatial relationships were extracted. Then, established abstract illustrations, lead to the discussion of spatial prototypes, and give the possibility of prototypes evolving in nature. The space can be used in the home and leisure.

This research started with the thinking about social phenomena(sharing, communication and dwelling in nature), using typology as a method, then designing the building through the extraction of types, the evolution of types and the translation of architectural spaces in future. The research proposes a flexible vacation home with multiple functions and flexibility. It is suitable for dwelling or leisure experience in the natural environment. “The Home of Dwelling or Leisure” will be a new type of building which has diverse functional program and dynamic space in 2121.

Jury Comments:
“Despite the narrative, whereas am not sure the design proposal was in direct response to the brief & it could be applicable to both now and 100year hence, the design works beautifully. Bonus points for photos of model.”

“Great connection between premise and concept. Dealing with population desity and the problems of tourism and extrapolating to a more exaggerated future. Beautiful presentation and a design that is detailed and loyal to multifunctionality and flexibility at many scales. The only thing that remains as an expectation is a more radical idea about the domestic space as a vacation/recreation space. To offer an alternative to travelling, the environment could be more appealing. Very coherent project overall.”

“This proposal goes beyond the iconic to start constructing a story or a fairytale that gets embedded in the city’s life. It emphasizes the building of the atmosphere and the experience through verticality and modular overlay.”

 

 

Honorable Mention_ BLUE HALO“THE OCEAN CALLS”

BLUE HALO
” THE OCEAN CALLS”

The earth’s temperature is rising and melting the glaciers at the poles, increasing the global seawater level. In about 100 years, many coastal cities would submerge underwater. Therefore, there arises a need to think about the future evolution of human habitation.
The earth itself has 71% of the water on its surface on which humans can dwell if designed sensibly by keeping marine ecology and human necessity in mind. Floods, unstoppable fires, and polluted air have embraced the earth, the food supply has collapsed, and the rising ocean levels have all forced humans out of their habitat.
Would it even be possible to live on the land the way we have used to live for thousands of years?
The year is 2121.
The settlement on Mars and the Moon will grow, so will the settlement on the ocean.
The land is no longer hospitable for humanity, and we have transformed our whole way of living to adjust to life in the ocean – the only safe place left. We have remodeled architecture into technological homes that react to dramatically altered situations, supplied with energy and clean air by awe-inspiring structures on the ocean. They are engineered to float on the surface. Filtered air and electrical power are provided through pipes connected to the energy supply structures underwater. The new way of existence might not certainly be easy for adaptation, but it probably is one of the only prospects of survival.

“An endeavor for survival with a unique approach to form a distinctive civilization on water.”

Our project aims to acknowledge that the world has a great deal of inequality, injustice, and misery and that humans need social interaction for survival at the same time. This co-living space is self-reliant for most of the needs of the inhabitants. It functions by harvesting its own resources. Artificial methods for soil cultivation have been used as alternatives for the lost land to bring back the green life. Conversely, humans are also the prime reason for the harm that has occurred to the planet.
The initial thought was to procure the extent we lost because of sea-level rise while taking on a more accountable lifestyle. The pod is a module with a photo-voltaic roof system that acts as the primary energy source.
The streamlined floorplate has a floating technology that lets the structure semi-submerge. The co-living project aims to provide the users with their private, semi-private, and public space, is self-sustaining, and makes a more responsible effort at living.

Jury Comments:

“A project that can be read both with an emphasis on individuality and belonging to a community. Modular dynamics and spatial diversity contribute to defining an interesting way of living. Interior images are powerful and evocative of immersive water and terrestrial landscapes.

“The design is quite holistic in technical and spatial terms and the presentation of high level. It doesn’t just use water as a necessity, but incorporates it in a poetic way. The main critique is the role of this living prototype in the imagined post-apocalyptic world. It is a technolgically sophisticated, potentially expensive, low density living space, with a very specifically designed social interaction. In the juror’s eyes, if the basic living concept would be a bit more universal, it would fit the hypothesis of a global society on water a bit more.”

“good representation and thought. Little thought to materiality, but details have been thought out and evident in drawings. This structure could actually work if built, with a few tweaks.”

 

 

Honorable Mention_ Blooming Ivy by Helen Cheung

Blooming Ivy by Helen Cheung

From nomads to capsule hotels, we have always been trying to find different modes of living and different domestic lifestyles. People lived in extended families in the past, gradually transitioning into living as nuclear families. Recently, the new way of living in a collective group as individuals in share- houses rises alongside the exponential population rise.
Then is there actually an answer as to what types of social groups designers should be aiming to design for?
This led to an investigation into the design of council housings. What is noticed in the plans of the different typologies is like many other housings, the interior organisation is designed based on the organisation of a nuclear family. For example, the four person unit only has three rooms; one double bedroom for the parents and two more single bedrooms, possibly for the children. What is peculiar about this organisation is that this might not apply exactly to other types of families, one of which is the single-parent family, although it might consist of space for four persons, the interior division would not be applicable for one mother and three children having only three rooms…
A lot of single mothers in the UK are rejected from social housing applications, hence ending up in a shelter of poor condition or even becoming homeless. Apart from housing and economic difficulties, single mother families also encounter a number of issues, such as having a lack of time to simultaneously work, earn for a living and take care of their children. Studies have also shown how single mothers are more prone to receive stress from neighbours, which is one of the many factors of being the worst type of family in children’s diabetic control.
Southwark, a borough in central London, is encountering a series of socio-economic problems with a number of single mother families. The number of females in need of economic support is extremely high compared to London and England, where also high numbers of unpaid childcare is being offered. Furthermore, it was noted that the obesity rates in Southwark are somewhat highest in the country, with half of such population being children. Most importantly, the lack of affordable housing which only constitutes five percent heightens the social disparity.
So the question is, how can single mothers benefit from having a redefined domestic lifestyle?
Blooming Ivy is a residential tower that makes use of spatial characteristics to maximise opportunities for people to come together as a collective, promote use of public space for physical activities to tackle health related implications and redefine the way people are divided spatially, breaking the traditional boundaries. Made up of discrete modules, the skyscraper aims to minimise the sense of hierarchy, overthrowing existing social culture on land. Just like an ivy, the aggregation of modules grows on the perimeter of an existing building, negating economic problems regarding land and ownership. The tower is a self supportive system where single mother families mutually support one another, eventually blooming in the sky.

Jury Comments:

“A refreshingly original concept adressing ways of life and not extreme scenarios. The ideas are sophisticated and the response derived from serving the ideas and not superimposed forms. The superstructure is equally as conceptually supported as the units. A question that arises is the exlusive use of the superstructure by single mother households and what that segragation mean for the social environment. An adaptation of the typology to be more inclusive would benefit the proposal greatly.”

“A radical and playful approach. The concept wins you both through its idea and the process of generating the design. The almost uncompromising and random method of combining the modules and coming together gives it the integrity it needs to represent a viable scenario”

 

 

Honorable Mention_ Home 2121 by Hanwan Liang

Home 2121 by Hanwan Liang

The houses people live in are too limited: all the spaces seem to have clear functions and purposes: the dining room is for eating, the living room is for watching TV, and the bedroom is for sleeping. Whether there is a form generated from the possibility: such a form is different from all the current geometric space. It does not come from the functional purpose, but from the result of the random expansion of the body. In such a collision process, the designer will add a certain geometric form, such as cube, to limit its expansion, resulting in a kind of conflict between complete randomness and complete purpose:the shape produced by the gray area between the two. Such a form may bring users a completely different living experience.

The design site is located in Chancheng District, Foshan City. The house is designed for the daily life of two families of seven. The designer defined the private space in the daily life of seven people, such as bedroom and bathroom, with a certain geometry: square. The rest of the public activity space produces an interactive space with random shape by doing the experimental research on the possible shape, trying to create a space experience different from the previous life. At the same time, the random shape also indicates the possibility of life.

Jury Comments:

“Beyond introducing an idea of orderly chaos, the concept could perhaps be a panacea in preventing degradation of the human condition – which is a fascinating idea. The idea of chaos could be a beneficial way of unravelling and revitalizing the quality of life while also removing the commoditized design of a uniform, identity-less format. ”

“The concept is focused on a different kind of living with different spatial qualities and different habits and the design fulfils those very well. The design process is very interesting and creative. The future isn’t specifically mentioned but hinted because of the entirely different living spaces. ”

献给撒哈拉沙漠。

世界上没有任何地方像阿拉伯大沙漠那样美丽。先知、财宝、失落的城市: 撒哈拉是超自然力量的聚集地,因为只有超自然力量才能生存在连贝都因人都拒绝去的地方。撒哈拉沙漠是探索停止的地方,是人类野心被否定,虚荣心被淹没的地方,因为沙漠无法被驯服,无法被理解或测量。沙漠只能在远处凝望,希望被无数次扬起的沙子所忽视,这些沙子夺走了它们自己的生命、文明和财富。 

在沙漠中,生活是不可能的,但在沙漠的边缘,有一些最深刻的经验,人可以体验。寒冷、炎热、寂静和沙丘的歌声,还有海市蜃楼、日落、星光灿烂的天空,尤其是郁郁葱葱的绿洲。

 生活在沙漠边缘是少数人的特权,而正是这种特权孕育了沙漠住宿。

沙漠住宿是 YAC 和 Jarir 发展公司的竞争项目,旨在探索当代建筑在最新和最令人印象深刻的自然圣地之前的潜力。

在这样一个极其荒凉的地方,什么样的款待才是最好的呢?为了回答这个基本问题,在纳兹高原上,设计师们将有机会在这个星球上最凶猛、最致命的沙漠大门口设计一个奢华的绿洲: 一个当代的绿洲,在这里,人们可以在棕榈树和果树的树荫下休息,享受无边无际的沙漠。在这里,你可以沉浸在凉爽的游泳池中,欣赏着日落映在白炽的沙滩上,或者,再次观察地平线上若隐若现的沙尘暴的轮廓,确定周围建筑的遮蔽。

因此,它是身体的避难所,但最重要的是,它是精神的避难所,因为绿洲和沙漠是对立的两个概念,它们涉及人类复杂性的整个范围,自那以后——正如沙漠游牧民族的一句古老谚语所说——”上帝创造了绿洲,使人类能够在那里生活,创造了沙漠,使人类能够找到自己的灵魂”。感谢将接受这一挑战的设计师们。

MINIMUM SCHOOL LADAKH http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/19182 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/19182#respond Wed, 22 Sep 2021 13:04:02 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=19182 Ladakh is a cold desert in India. Lying in the Great Himalayan Region, it has the mighty Karakoram Range in the North and in the south, it is bound by the Zanskar mountains. The area is remote: the main road linking Ladakh with the rest of India is cut off by snow for six months or more each year. It is one of the least populous areas of India and is largely rural in nature. The capital city of Leh is the biggest and only urban center in the greater Ladakh region. This is a high-altitude desert environment where water is precious. Agriculture and human settlements depend on water from snow melt, which flows towards the Indus River.

The aim of the competition, MINIMUM SCHOOL is to create a model sustainable school that creates a robust educational community in this remote area. The school shall be built on the foundations of local culture and architecture with an aim to provide high quality modern education. The school should celebrate and enhance Ladakhi traditions and establish a holistic educational and academic community.

The idea of a minimum school is built on the pillars of adaptability, modularity, and sustainability. The school should be built using minimum resources, shall have a minimum energy footprint and create minimum disturbance to the context.  The architectural aspect of the built form (volume, materiality and aesthetic features) should be (inspired from) the local vernacular building techniques. The school should possess the ability to sustain and support the fragile relationship between humans and natural ecosystems.

The school should cater to a small community and provide education to around 80-100 children from the vicinity. The age group can vary from kindergarten to 15 years with an aim to democratize education. Good architecture is price-less, not price-full. Architects should aim to maximize the aesthetic and efficiency potential of the minimum school and allow people to dream. It should liberate and uplift the people and make a powerful impact on the community.

First Prize Winner_ Dhruv Bhatia & Vasudev K Gaur

Concrete in Architecture: Figure & Ground

By Dhruv Bhatia & Vasudev K Gaur

Dhruv Bhatia

I am Dhruv Bhatia, a 19 year old Architecture student at School of Planning &Architecture, Bhopal, India currently in my third year out of the five-year major. Born and brought up in New Delhi, the capital city of India, I have been fortunate enough to experience the diversity of cultures, art and architecture. I am a keen observer who believes in developing frameworks that define design approach and integrates every aspect of human life. As an admirer of the heritage, I believe in finding a comprehensive solution to preserve what now has become a door to the past.

Vasudev K Gaur

I am a 3rd year Architecture student at School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal. I firmly believe that architecture is synonymous to long term commitment to exploring and learning; and that those who consider it merely as creation of spaces occupying volumes never understood the essence of this major. I am of the opinion that the more demanding the client is or the elaborate the design problem is; the more absorbing its design process becomes and the more appealing the building turns out to be. Writing has always been a pastime for me, and inspecting & writing about the innovative prospects in the field of the construction fascinates me furthermore. As a future architect, my goal is to bring socially expressive and thought-provoking structures to life.

First Prize Winner_ JIAMAN XU, RUIHENG ZENG & XIAOXIN WANG

Forest fires have always been a desperate topic. In the case of severe forest fires, it is difficult to protect the lives of animals. The Amazon rainforest in 2019 and the Australian forest fires in 2020 caused devastating damage. Countless wild animals died in the fire or were displaced, causing people’s attention. It is precise because of these facts that the rescue of wild animals in fires needs to be widely recognized, and we need to provide them with a temporary shelter.

The refuge site is in New South Wales, Australia, which is hot and less rainy, which is one of the places prone to forest fires. When a fire occurs, the building uses the collected water to spray water through a spray device to form a low-temperature environment and attract animals to take refuge.

In order for our animal shelter to be self-sufficient to the greatest extent possible without human intervention, the operation of the building depends entirely on natural forces. According to realistic theories such as energy conversion, we set up rainwater and fog collection devices to solve the water problem of the building. The fog is converted into water and rainwater is collected to the water storage device at the bottom of the building, which can provide a continuous supply of the ecological environment inside the building. Provide water resources.

The refuge restores the original living environment of Australian animals as much as possible and ensures internal ecological diversity. In order to reduce the damage to the natural ecological environment, we spiral up the ecological layer to reduce the footprint of the building and recreate different ecological environments on the spirally rising ramps and natural environments that can provide sufficient refuge space for animals. Including the basic natural environment such as pools, swamps, grasslands, woods, etc., so that it is divided on each layer but connected to each other. For example, kangaroos like to run in the bushes, koalas will sleep on eucalyptus trees, wild dogs are used to hunting in the desert, platypuses usually hide in caves by the water, and ostriches with strong adaptability are suitable for most environments, such as open plains, forests or the desert doesn’t matter to them.

After the fire, the forest is slowly recovering, and the animals can return to the natural environment and rebuild their homes. Of course, the animals can continue to stay inside the building, and the food chain can maintain the relative balance of the ecological layer. Animals can enter and leave the building at any time to increase the sense of familiarity and belonging. Perhaps more lives can be saved the next time a fire occurs.

Second Prize Winner_ Antonella Marzi, Chiara Marzi & Marta Dituri 

ICE TOWERS

“A powerful and evocative gesture, a reinterpretation of the monument in a modern key.”

Our concept design is stemming from abstract ideas and shapes in inhospitable environments that become an architectural project. The site context aims to stimulate people’s thoughts on the consequences of human intervention in the living environment and adaptation to architecture.

Two crystalline monoliths emerge in the Arctic landscape. The building’s volume explores the sense as an ice sculpture on the rocks, by means of materials, textures, and colors.

As generated by tectonic forces, they guard and conceal an entire underground world. The towers rise from a submerged area, bursting through the surface, which integrating into the landscape – between the cliff and ocean waves.

 

Third Prize Winner_ MiroslavNaskov

The Forest House, nestled in the serene verdure of the Northern Italian countryside provides its visitors a unique experience. It is nonconformist yet resonates with the rawness of the nature around it.

The stilted housegives one the feeling of being lifted and placed in Nature’s lap, capturing breath taking views of the lush green clad mountains as well as the calm lake set between them.

The fluid design and soft volumes of the space add to the tranquillity of the space. The transparency provides panoramic views, inviting nature to become part of the space. Blurring the boundary between the interior and the exterior, the house and nature are in perfect symphony with each other.

The structure uses prefabricated 3D Printed structural elements. This not only eases the process of fabrication and significantly reduces cost but also has least impact on the natural environment.

Bespoke furniture designed for the space uses a similar language in design and materiality providing a wholesome yet luxurious experience in all.

 

Honorable Mention_ Niu Yifan

The globalized new coronavirus epidemic has thrown architectural problems with meaningful thinking to architects. Now in the post-epidemic era, how should architects rethink and define the contemporary attributes of physical public spaces? How to tap and strengthen the quality and value that cannot be replaced by virtual space, and make a targeted response in the design?

My work intends to show the current social situation in a warmer and more hopeful post-epidemic era. Through the architectural vision of the post-epidemic era. I designed a city with extremely prosperous traffic, because traffic is a prerequisite for urban development. I also designed a public transportation transfer station that can be rotated to facilitate the transfer and transfer of people. This rotation takes five minutes. When the turntable returns to its original position, the station will welcome the next wave of people, and people will meet in this regular and random space. The transmission lasts ten minutes. Then continue to spin for the next five minutes.

This work shows the sense of science and technology that people yearn for in the post-epidemic era and the warm connection between human. The sun shines into your sight through the movable buildings built under traffic, and everything is under the radiation of the sun, with a sense of post-modernity and technology. Everything is very peaceful and full of hope, expressing the prosperous industrial and social development after the epidemic.

 

Honorable Mention_ ZHIXIANG XIA

The image indicate an architecture which is driven by our minds. I’m always thinking about creating an architecture embodying our souls. The main structure of the architecture can grow and expand as our mind keeps developing. From bottom to top, every part of the structure shows the different stages of our mind, which in the image I visualize it by the people’s activities. And the connectivity is infinite and continuous; everything is intertwined and bounded together with an invisible force which can be described as the inner inspiration of every thought. Finally, architecture becomes an extension of our minds and it fully shows our inner space.

 

Honorable Mention_ Tim CheC

The distance between Mars and the Earth is approximately 225 million kilometers, making it the closest “livable” planet to the Earth.

Whether the movie” The Martian”, the landing news of the NASA’s “Perseverance”, or even the “SpaceX” company founded by Elon Musk, they all showed us the mysterious appearance of Mars. I am the person who love future technologies and science fiction pretty much. I can’t help but think, when I am 50 years old, will I be able to live on Mars at that time?

In this artwork, I tried to imagine what it might look like when people live on Mars in the future.

I took Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD ) as my main concept. The various facilities are connected by channels. The center of the facilities is a big rocket, which will carry the residents transport between different planets. The main residential facility large greenhouse buildings, which are filled with plants and oxygen. It creates a suitable space for people to live in. On the outer side, there are some Industrial facilities which can mine buried ice and create energy for residents to use.

Is it possible to build a self-sufficient city on Mars? How does it feel like when living on Mars? Are there other planets that can be explored by humans besides Mars? I am curious and excited in the technology and lifestyle of future. I hope through this artwork, everyone can share their imagination about the future living lifestyle.

PANDEMIC MEMORIAL: A Tribute to Frontline Workers http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18160 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18160#respond Tue, 08 Jun 2021 11:08:29 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=18160 Archasm would like to thank all the health workers for their unflinching commitment and devotion to save human lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Covid-19 Pandemic has claimed over 35,00,000 deaths around the world. In the brutal heaviness of this pandemic, the number of infections outpaced the capacity of hospitals, assembling the frontline health workers to devote their lives for the safety and welfare of the community. Considered to be the backbone of any health system, these frontline workers have been the first line of defense during the pandemic and are still fighting it out to control and contain the virus. As a result of this ongoing battle, we have lost thousands of health workers who put their lives at stake unflinchingly to save millions of affected patients around the world.

To recognize the services and sacrifice by the frontline workers, Archasm invites all architecture students and professionals to design a memorial. The challenge is to design a prototype in your city/region as a mark of respect and tribute to the local warriors.

Memorials have persisted for centuries to establish empathy with past events which the society lived through or to honor the lives of the deceased. They serve for transferring information and will be comprehended as a contribution to the future for paying our tributes.

This sure seems like a premature time to build a memorial as several nations are still battling but the emotions, facts, and thoughts available during a calamity dissipate as it ebbs. The intensity of the moment might help us envision what such a memorial could be. It will help us recall the countless contributions of the health workers on the frontline and will aim to continue building a collective consciousness and provide lifelong gratitude to them.

Every community and culture were affected differently by Covid-19. In order to reflect this reality, the memorial should follow the culture and reflect the local context and the impact this pandemic has had. How can you turn this adversity into memorializing the commitment of the frontline workers?

Contemplate how we will come together or stay apart in the upcoming period. The solution does not have to be grandiose or even architectural, it can be basic and take any space or form that your community entails. The intervention should be emotional, powerful, poetic and can take any form/function as per the participant’s narrative. The memorial should take shape in an area footprint that can range from a minimum of 100 sq. meters to a maximum 1000 sq. meters.

Reviving Silk Route | A Cultural Center for all http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18141 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18141#respond Wed, 12 May 2021 05:09:01 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=18141 Switch Competitions invites all architecture students, and young professionals to develop and submit compelling ideas for the design of a cultural center for all, located in the soul of the Silk Road cities – Baku.  The narrative of this competition design stems from revisiting the solid traditional roots and foundation as well as sculpting the community for the years to come. Designing a center that houses a network for all; a space that welcomes all and celebrates the notion of co-existence.

As one of the most important trade exchange channels, the Silk Road was also a “cultural bridge” between Asia and Europe. The system has existed for over 2,000 years. The Silk Road represented a form of the global economy and spanned the Asian continent with widespread transmission of knowledge and ideas which had a profound impact on the culture. A network of mostly land but also sea trading routes, the Silk Road stretched from China to Korea and Japan in the east, Turkey and Italy in the west and linked China through Central Asia to India in the south. Trading activities along the Silk Road over many centuries facilitated the transmission of not just of goods but also ideas and culture, promoting a socio-cultural economy.

Today, we have diffused the idea of identity, culture, roots, and traditions, forgetting the ‘past’ and focusing on the idea of ‘future’ not realizing the damage that is being done to the ‘present’. As globalization is being embraced, the cultural identity of places is dying. This changing culture of architecture has deeply affected our symbolic beliefs and attitude.

Buildings inherently document the everyday life of a culture – the essence of a built-up environment is the manifestation of culture. They are repositories of the patterns of activity and movement of a society or people. Architecture reflects and influences culture, in a circle that arcs from art, food, dance, music, etc., and embracing values. The role of culture in promoting architectural identity seems essential and thus, architecture becomes a direct expression of culture.

At the intersection of the notions of culture and tourism, cultural centers increasingly stand out as the linkage between the exchange of values, habits, and social life. They are the most eternal means of expressing ourselves – of transferring ideas and values. Cultural Centers also play a vital role in retaining morals and beliefs for the community. The integration of architectural features, forms, and materials help imbibe the past as an active part of the future; a vision for the society in the coming years is just as important as retaining the values of old.

 

PRIZES

Prizes worth EUR 2500 are up for claim with the distribution as follows:

FIRST PRIZE: EUR 1200

SECOND PRIZE: EUR 800

THIRD PRIZE: EUR 500

Apart from the winners, the jury will select ’10 Editors’ Choices’ who will be featured on our website and several other international magazines and websites across the world. The winners and Editors’ Choices will be provided with an honorary certificate.

LOCK-UNLOCK http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18130 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18130#respond Wed, 05 May 2021 03:14:47 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=18130 What is a prison? Prison is a place where inmates are confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state as punishment for various crimes.

But is this all to a prison? Can’t prison serve to be more than just a set up to punish the convicts?

Recidivism is not a very rare occurrence. It’s time to put out the question, why? Why do convicts go back to their old means as soon as they are released from the prison? Why are prisons failing to contribute to society?

 

Overcrowding prisons with poor living conditions and little opportunity for rehabilitation has resulted in high rates of recidivism. But is that all?

Prisons not only affect the lives of convicts, it affects the lives of victims, the lives of officers working their shifts day and night and it affects the society as a whole.

 

Can they be used as a facility to right the morals of the inmates? What can be done to lower recidivism number? How can architecture be used to solve this problem?

 

For a long time, these questions have been neglected. But it’s time to answer these questions. And hence,  ARCH8 wants to encourage architects and designers to think in this aspect and to come up with a solution for the same. It encourages them to understand the true purpose of a prison and the impact it can have on people’s life with the help of architecture.

 

OBJECTIVE

The goal is to design a medium security prison for a maximum capacity of 50 inmates. The concept should address recidivism, life of inmates and society overall. Participants are encouraged to explore how architecture of a place affects the behavior of people under its influence.

 

About site:

Participants have to choose a site of their choice because the site will greatly affect the architecture of the prison.

Choose a site with respect to any one of the below mentioned category:

  1. In a densely populated area
  2. In the outskirts of a city/town
  3. In a completely distant area

 

REQUIREMENTS

1 A1 (landscape) composed with (at least):

  • Design explanation (not more than 150 words).
  • A plan

ARCTIC HOTEL http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18117 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18117#respond Tue, 27 Apr 2021 16:29:16 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=18117 YAC – Young Architects Competitions – launches ARCTIC HOTEL, a competition of ideas for the design of accommodation facilities combining hospitality and unspoilt nature and offering a unique experience for the observation of the Aurora Borealis.

The cash prize of € 15, 000 will be distributed to the winning proposals selected by an international jury panel made of, among the others: Angelo Micheli (AMDL Circle), Rodrigo Duque Motta, Nicodemos Tsolakis (Kyriakos Tsolakis Architects), Lukas Rungger (noa*), Mario Cucinella, Dagur Eggertsson (Rintala Eggertsson Architects), Hesselberg Foged (Effekt).

 

> BRIEF

 

Some places may seem straight out of a fairy tale, bu they exist in the real world. In some places, a blend of legends, landscapes, memories, creates something that cannot be described in words: something humans perceive but cannot express, something science explains but does not own.

Rovaniemi is one of those places.

Capital of Finnish Lapland, Rovaniemi is one of the few cities in the world located at a few kilometres from the Arctic Circle: legacy of people with colourful clothes and special traditions, reindeer farmers and sleigh builders. Rovaniemi is a place made of snow, perpetual dawns and dusks, and it is home to the dancing lights that shine in the sky during cold winter nights – the Aurora Borealis.

Home to Santa Claus- the Scandinavian myth that conquered the world through tales and folklore, the town of Rovaniemi had been considered inaccessible and remote for most of its history. Until last century, when it became the destination for visitors and tourists, who wanted to feel its magic and see the fascinating Northern Lights. Today Rovaniemi is no longer a prerogative of expert travellers and explorers, and new hospitality models are necessary in order to protect the remote identity of this land. An identity that is characterized by primitive beauty and harmony, and inaccessibility and the absence of humans greatly contributed to its shaping.

How can we make places like this accessible, as inaccessibility is a key part of their charm? What kind of accommodation facilities can combine hospitality and unspoilt nature?

This is the challenge of Arctic Hotel, the competition organized by YAC and Rovaniemi to create a place where people can experience the most authentic North, respecting its isolation and magic.

On Ounasvaara Hill, overlooking one of the most remote bases ever built, architects will have the opportunity to imagine a structure that blends with the forest, the snow and the sky. A place where visitors can find shelter from the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Circle, gather around a fire, and enjoy the rarest and most mysterious spectacle of nature: the Aurora Borealis.

# 024 KITESURF SCHOOL LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18103 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/18103#respond Sat, 10 Apr 2021 03:49:33 +0000 http://www.aladesigndaily.com/?p=18103 INTRODUCTION

We are facing a miracle, a real miracle, a unique landscape and changeable with every season.

This landscape is born of two rivers, Parnaíba and Preguiças. They drag sand and sediment from the interior of the continent to the Atlantic Ocean,
this sediment are deposited on the 70 kilometres of coastline. Durin dry season, above all, in the months of October and November, the north-east
wind transports the sand up to 48 kilometresin land from the earth, sculpting crescent-shaped dunes that reach 39 metres height and extend as far as
the eye can see.

Under bird´s eye view, this place, with the name “Lencços Maranhenses”,refers to the “Sabanas de Maranha” o “Maranha sheets”.

Every Year, when the rainy season comes, between Junary and June new gaps are born. In July they reach their highest level. The also becomeinterconenected when rivers cross the dunes, for example, the Black river.

It may seem like a desert landscape, but between dunes and water we can find two small communities, of about 90 people, who very their routines with the seasons: during the dry season, they are dedicated to breeding of animals and cultivation and with the rains they travel to the coast to dedicate themselves to fishing.

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

Faced with the constant and devastating advancement of the so-called expansive tourism, we believe that architecture can serve as a restorative
/ integrating element, being of vital importance and relevance so that both realities can coexist. The architecture will play a fundamental role, being able to be the way of relationship between the culture belonging to the area and the tourists coming from other places in the world like America or Europe.

Therefore, we are in one of the most characteristic landscapes of Brazil.which is visited every year by thousands of tourists with the intention of
impregnating with the country´s nature.Expansive tourism can generate economic advantages and environmental disadvantages. First of all, the architecture must be created from moderation and respect for nature, which allows us to know all the essential aspects of Brazilian culture, without the need to generate changes in it, as has happened in the Mediterranean after the arrival of tourists from northern Europe.

That is why at this site it is propossed to give a solution to a real problem that will go increase every day. And for this there os only one possible way,the union of three basic concepts.

LOCATION – VISION FROM SPACE

North of the Maranhao region, we find a desert paradise in constant transformation because of rains and winds. The implementation of a project in a changing area may seem quite complicated,but it is precisely, in the difficulties where it rewards ingenuity.

That is why the new competition will be located in this peculiar location.A changing place, where the landscape and its integrative concept is themost important thing to take precedence in the project.

PROGRAM

The Kitesurf School Lençóis Maranhenses competition presents a space where you can experience the relationship between sport, nature and
human beings.

The project should highlight the uniqueness of the place and become a space where there is a respect for the landscape, culture and atmosphere of the place.This last point is important as the place arrives tourists from Europe or America constantly interested in knowing the place and in fact it is such an inaccessible place that it is normal to make small camping in the area.That is why this kitesurfing school has to allow itinerant accommodation of people but without excessive contamination of the place.

Therefore, the proposed building should consider combining all these options. Tourists who arrive share experiences with the nature. A unique and unforgettable experience to get to know this amazing place.

In these bases, the designer himself will define the m² of each area,according to the unique idea he proposes. All ideas proposed will bevalid. The project may be on earth, in the sky, buried or flying. It can be developed at the choice of the designer; it can be a compact module or be a dispersion of small buildings that solve the problem.

The competition programme proposes the following spaces, which can be expanded, simplified and manipulated by the contestant as it sees fit but justified:

– Personal area. Area dedicated to the work of 2 or 3 people who will put visitors first, give them kitesurfing instructions or the necessary material to practice the sports.

– Food and rest area. This area can be shared, linked or even the same as the rest area if you want. It will be small accommodations for up to 10 people who come to practice the sport and want to have this experience more than 1 day.

– Toilet area. The minimum and indispensable unit needed to do so.Bathroom, shower and toilet. It is not intended to place a battery of small toilets as the minimum possible impact and the minimum ecological footprint possible are required.

-Storage area: All material needed for sports must be stored. This warehouse may be indoors or outdoors, covered or not. Depends on the idea of the
designer.

As mentioned above, the surface of the proposal is free and these spaces can be closed, opened or semi-open depending on the intentions of each project, and can be set to any dimension of the enclave. Hence, there are no restrictions that can influence the decisions each participant makes.The freedom of the project is absolute, this contest proposes that the participant research the landscape and the different forms of intervention in it. Study boundaries, scales, views, cross-looking,horizons, accesses. It’s the keys to follow.

* Participants can suggest new areas not proposed in this document, as wellas eliminate or combine some of those already mentioned.

reTHINK!NG philosophy

reTHINKING Team proposes contests far from the pessimism, with high doses of freshness and joy, restless and expansive. Definitively, it aims to stimulate
and shake the architects heads who seem to be asleep and restore dignity to the profession. Being optimistic over all.

The proposed competitions will be focused on 8 concepts which we think there is much to investigate and propose by architects.

We understand that architecture can not be classified, as a single project reflects on various concepts relevant to contemporary culture, but enhance several of these main research topics.

MAIN CONCEPTS

NATURE

Definitely Nature does not exist. We have just digitalized the last squared meter of the planet and we have it already inside our artificial (artificializador) pocket.
Landscapes made to be used, where function and architecture show up at the same time their natural and artificial condition.

Architecture and context. Establishing both terms would be again a duality, some kind of halfway between architecture and its context, an inevitable addition of both of them due to its mutual influence. It becomes a singular ecology, among which architecture and what existed before are discovered. Architecture adds as a landscape, it is landscape and not object.

paisaje y no objeto

ECOLOGY

We oppose to the aged and nostalgic ecology (freezer of landscapes,territories and environments), through an audacious ecology; re-qualifying versus re-formulating. Based not anymore in a fearful and defensive nonintervention, but in a non-impositive one, a qualifying intervention in synergy with the environment, and with technology too. Not only optimistic but “positiv-istic”.

An ecology where sustainability means interaction.
Where nature is also artificiality.
Where landscape is topography.
Where energy is information and technology is transportation
Where development is recycling and evolution is genetic.
Where environment is field.
Where conservation implies always intervention.

SCALE

Scale is not measurement, nor dimension, but capacity for relationship. In the same way that the dynamic systems that govern our universe (and the complex geometries of the structures associated with them) promote possible “to-scale” zoom relationships, these open configurations that are not associated with any scale are of interest here: o better, that they alter the idea of scale – of scale, not of size, as Federico Soriano would point out- thus referring to the very diffuse nature of the contemporary environment/ resonating flexibly and without prejudice with and among its surprising -and ambiguous – manifestations.

Action and effect of an architecture that does not distinguish limits, that dissolves. All the space of this architecture would be intermediate space “between”.

DELIVERY CONTENT RULES OF PRESENTATION
