multi-functional administrative city, Korea

While I was doing it was interesting to find the consideration of Andres Perea in diverse scales, although the scales does not exactly match to ours. Overall landscape of the city and the sequence that was being proposed through out the project was very clear and well illustrated. To conserve the Korean rice field was brillient in the sense the FTA was one of the main issues in Korea last year. Many people worry that FTA would import cheap crops which will pressure the farming industry. Also, although it is not illustrated in the jpg file but the distribution of land, use of land and transportation would well fit with the concept of Korean government’s equi-poise developement policy. I just wanted to write about his project in a Korean perspective; Others could be found in discussion of the studio. You can fin more details in the full pdf file attatched.

Knowledge Village 2.0 (iiD)

A project which took the assumption that “no-place” is a local quality of Dubai and wondered about what sustainability means in terms of prosumers ended up as a strategy for reshaping existing ubran sprawls (no-places around the world) into sustainable, distributed networks.

efugee housing in Sudan

There are only a few instances that we are fortunate enough to have people that teach us the most difficult thing to teach: to love what we do. The week we spent at the studio was an incredible experience, where Michel knew each of our names, each of our projects, and help us dream about architecture much more and much better. I just added Michel Rojkind to the list of one of the most influential professors I ever had.

woven tower

he project is finally taking shape, not only conceptually but also formally…. The intention is to provide canopy covered spaces that prevent soil erosion, generate a water harvester tower that uses evaporation/condensation as a means to harvest and recycle water and provide recreation and commercial spaces around the central node (tower) and extensive field around (horizontal trellises)… There is a need to establish a water allocation process in order to formalize existing water use rights and manage water demands around the Lake Chad drainage basin. There needs to be a policy implementation of river channel improvement works, water augmentation and promotion of conservation techniques…Sustainable agricultural practices and sustainable management of natural resources need to be encouraged within the basin
