human information-driven installation designed to visualize the collective curiosities and questions of Teton County Library visitors through a dynamic and interactive spatial sculpture. It’s inspired by the concept that our civic spaces should be intelligent and responsive, communicating as much to us as we do to each other, enabling a form of intra-environmental social interaction between our thoughts and the material of our built environments. Whenever any Wyoming public library visitor anywhere in the state performs a search of the library catalog from a computer, Filament Mind illuminates that search in a flash of color and light through glowing bundles of fiber optic cables. Each of the 1000 fiber optic cables hanging above (totaling over 5 miles of cable) corresponds to a call number in the Dewey Decimal System, which organizes the library’s collection into approximately 1000 categories of knowledge. These category titles are displayed in text on the lobby’s south and north walls at the termination points of the fiber optic cables. Just as libraries throughout history have inscribed the names and words of great minds into stone, Teton County Library will visualize the thoughts of all its visitors through a living, visual archive of their questions. Filament Mind will literally be the mind of the library and, by extension, that of the community. Experiencing it, visitors will witness the transformation of individual questions and queries posed to the digital catalog, transmitted through synaptic firings of form, color, and light, into a display of emergent collective intelligence of unprecedented visual expression. The installation aspires to illustrate how community is cultivated through the delicate weaving of our thoughts, desires, and questions exchanged and imparted on each other and our environments. And it’s the library that is at the very heart of this cultivation. Filament Mind is based on the notion that art, which is truly for the public, should manifest the ideas of the artist only as they are transformed by what’s in the hearts and minds of the community, as a reflection of the influence of place on our thoughts. There’s no greater manifestation of this influence than in the interests that we cultivate throughout life; the questions we draw from our world and express back to it through learning, exploring, and creating. Filament Mind was made possible thanks to funding from the Teton County Library Friends and other private support.

The proof of a mathematical theorem is considered to have mathematical elegance if it is surprisingly simple yet effective and constructive; similarly, a computer program or algorithm is elegant if it uses a small amount of intuitive code to great effect. A truss is a physical manifestation of elements in a pattern. As the truss is the basic point of departure for this system, new surface is developed through re-arranging this pattern. By shifting some joints in only one direction, changing the period, the entire structure can be changed to a different phase. To keep the joints in pin connection as in a truss, the joint part is designed to rotate easily but be fixable. After adjusting and securing the joint position, the surface is fabricated by determining the length of the beams and the shape of the enclosing panels from the overall model. With simple and effective operability housed in each structural component, a material and spatial system with constructive variability is produced.

Like a loom, our project is a system of production and a manifold of fabrication that is simultaneously the end product itself; an end product identified by exception, beauty and fluidity. Emulating Patrik Ervell’s usage of materials in innovative and unexpected ways, our project celebrates and supports Patrik’s work while standing alone as a beautiful architectural space that bridges the gap between architecture’s rigidity and fashion’s flexibility. Materially, our design weaves fiber optic light through an array of prismatic translucent surfaces, attempting to blur the material role of softness and hardness in space. Continuity and sharpness is paramount as is a romantic and lyrical backdrop for the display of Patrik’s clothing. The store is designed to have an elegant, comfortable atmosphere achieved through the use of high technologies such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, full-color LEDs, fiber optics, and high-quality recycled materials. At the first glance, visitors encounter swinging colors in a visually fluctuating ceiling. At night, the space is alive with fluid color and during the day the space gleams with white, diffuse opacity. They can see a soft field condition as well as a definitive formal impact in any light. Zooming in, they can experience space through watching it, touching it and moving it. The reversed landscape on the ceiling can produce various display options, without any partition walls such as suspended or mounted display. Fifty-nine (59) triangulated panels generate changeable density and variable height in the space. Through these panels, side-emitting fiber optics are woven with freely hanging movement, the driving colors generated by an LED matrix which is hidden above panels. Not only will this space provide visitors a showroom for fashion products but also facilitate interaction to with them through the lyrical architecture. Buildability, flexibility and efficiency are 100% possible in our design. We have previous experience with the materials, structural assembly techniques, and LED technology.

Even though we have more area for development along the hardened horizontality, the natural environmental qualities have been drastically reduced. Furthermore, the concrete edge also limits the boundary of Manhattan’s growth with strict lines. The goal of this project is to redefine new qualities for Manhattan’s edge with a new method of construction and landfill. In order to make new landfills, we propose a porous structural system instead of the solid traditional methods. These self-supported structural units could create a vast waterfront area which has the possibility to grow and provide mass housing with waterfront quality of living. These structures will solve the chronic shortage of housing supply and relieve some of the traffic in Manhattan. By assembling the expandable units along the water's edge, we expect more people to enjoy the waterfront. Furthermore, those systems can re-connect the urban fabric which has been damaged by the highways alongside both rivers Special Mention in Evolo 2007 Housing Competition, New York With Kyuseon Hong and Kyung Jae Kim The water-edge condition of Manhattan has been gradually changing from a swampy, sloped, wetland to a horizontal,... http://www.eboarch.com/Moulin-Rouge-Dance-School http://www.eboarch.com/following/eboarch.com/Moulin-Rouge-Dance-School Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:36:34 +0000 e/b office 2850671 <img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/01.jpg" width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/01_o.jpg" data-mid="14550045" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/02.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="800" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/02_o.jpg" data-mid="14550048" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/03.jpg" width="670" height="231" width_o="800" height_o="276" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/03_o.jpg" data-mid="14550050" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/04.jpg" width="670" height="202" width_o="800" height_o="242" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/04_o.jpg" data-mid="14550042" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/05.jpg" width="556" height="600" width_o="556" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/6/204791/2850671/05_o.jpg" data-mid="14550043" border="0" align="left"/> With Junho Cho and Woojin Lee The new dance school program transtlates the old Moulin Rouge into a self-generating model of historic place. The new Moulin Rouge continues its historical role which offered social networking amongst the various artists and the audience in the local/global scales of the museum's extent. Moreover, the new dance school's institutional characteristic helps the Moulin Rouge generate the art of the Moulin Rouge in a modern way. With the dance school program, public programs such as museum could attract a wide range of new and different visitors. The red mill is the remarkable symbol of Paris, possessing symbolic and historic value. Relative to preservation issues, we suggest an airy, light facade with the red mill seen prominently behind, retaining its function to obscure inner spaces of the building. The dance school also needs spaces protected from direct sunlight. The mesh facade reflects daylight to keep dance studios dark or artificially lit, and programs are covered and conjoined by the folding facade. In other parts, the facade is clearly opened to the air and delicately reveals public programs such as exterior gathering space or cafeteria. The porosity of the mesh facade retains the visibility of the building to users in the day. At night, the facade transmits the glowing light from the preserved red mill, and attracts people to the district of Pigalle. Interior spaces are reasonably designed according to the building organization. Public, semi-public, and private programs are shared, exchanged, or isolated for their relative functions and efficiency. Different floor levels cause unexpected events between administrant, student and visitor.

They must simultaneously contain and control the invisible, fluid power of sound, while allowing the creativity of musicians to flow freely through space. Slide is about providing flexibility of space, program, and use through a dynamic and attractive architectural body. This body effectively divides the warehouse space yet allows for a multitude of spatial configurations and geometric qualities to facilitate varied musical production scenarios. Rather than force a strict spatial configuration, Slide gives musicians the chance to create in flexibility, comfort, and style. Slide is both clear and crisp; smooth and quick.

Conventional ways of preservation passively refrigerate relics so that visitors and the artifacts hardly interact. These mere exposures of history to public do not catalyze the social activities. Highbridge Art Mall excavates the unused infrastructure, Croton Aqueduct, to open up new possibilities of active engagement with historic culture. Excavation of Croton Aqueduct will be the beginning of activation for the Bronx community. The unearthed Aqueduct will function as cultural infrastructure with the insertion of cultural programs inside and outside the pipe. The spatial relationship between the users and the aqueduct will determine the unique experiences of cultural engagement. Highbridge Art Mall will become the place for spontaneous exchange of products and the consumption of art. Given the unique yet challenging context, an informal sector of art production (Artists Unite) needs a mediator for a formal sector of art consumption (Bronx Museum of Art). The new mall inside and outside the Highbridge will connect both sectors and encourage impromptu exchanges of formal and informal cultures.

Often times the performance of systems, ecologies, and organisms studied at their natural microscopic do not translate appropriately when brought to the scale of the human, the building, or the city. The best example might be the famous strength of the spider’s silk, which is many times stronger than steel, one of our most common building materials, but owes its strength to the fact that it performs at the scale of the spider, not beyond. There are some systems, however, which possess what could be called poly-scalar homology, or a certain self-similarity in terms of performance, geometry, and topology at every scale of their existence. It’s these abilities of these systems to exhibit congruent performance at all scales that make them suitable sites for research in the translation of natural systems to beneficial technologies and building performances . The system which inspires our system is the sand dune. At all scales visually and topologically, the sand dune behaves the same. Composed of infinitesimal and innumerate grains of sand, the sand dune when viewed from outer space or from under one’s feet, looks, feels, and performs the same way. As a way to mitigate the energy of the wind moving across the landscape, the particle of sand allows for poly-scalar energy translation and absorption through its mobile capabilities.

This vertical zoo exhibits the precious ecosystem of the River Parana. The zoo, located at the east edge of the Rio de la Plata, near the “Costanera Sur” Ecological Reserve, will work as an ecological library to collect critical habitats of the river. An extensive archive of the regional ecosystem will honor the River Parana's own biological heritage in preservation for the next generation. Seven critical regions along with the river are selected to archive. Different vegetation patterns from the regions are distributed vertically and everything from the animals to the floral patterns will be located on same level. Five endangered animals in the region are also introduced to prevent them from extinction. These animals, in combination with exotic species, will enrich the diversity of the new archived ecosystem and provide future educational opportunities for the citizens in Puerto Madero.
