Ephemera: The Symbiotic Canopy
Rooted in Madrid’s vibrant culture, our design uses a floating, ethereal membrane to create a symbiotic loop between performers and the community. Our structure uses a built-in crane system to portably suspend our canopy high above the ground. This creates an floating canvas that captivates imagination from afar through dynamic light and projection.

HOUSE OF JAZZ
Our project located on Bronx County, New .The whole content is mean to create a jazz performing center.Therefor we designed a challengeable and creative jazz performing space.
The project proposes a simple, massive and distinctive white bricks volume which shows its public program to the city. The continuous interior space, how small it is, creates a very special and outstanding atmosphere, perfect for a jazz performance with the stage in the middle of the space. The project is very convincing by its simplicity, its overal concept, its communication, and the emotion it offers.
Interesting central circular form that creates a focus around the stage. The circulation needs to be better resolved. The exterior white facades with its openings seem a bit sterile to represent a jazz venue.

Point of Inclusion: A Vine-Draped Threshold Where Amsterdam's Locals and International Students Meet

The Rows: Language Center
The proposal for ‘The Rows’ exaggerates the Newfoundland urban row-house typology. The proposed design provides space for linguistic learning through visual and audio exhibitions. The iconic views of St. John’s Newfoundland are celebrated in the observation tower that reaches the height of the neighbouring museum and basilica.
"Exaggeration" is a good word as it is a good start. It would be much better if roofs were also included in this exaggeration operation. The transparent parts connecting more opaque boxes opens all composition and spaces to the surrounding environment and green, which is beautiful. The balance between the horizontal and the vertical is well-defined. The lounges on upper floors promise a lot. Though simple, all plans and sections are easy to understand and follow. Though "red" is a very powerful color contrasting the wood, other colors could have been introduced as well. Windows are very dynamic in shape and placement, which I think does not add much to overall quality.
Amazing!
Nexus
Located on the borders of the city's historical extension and in the modern city center, the project serves as a meeting point, connection, and communication hub. This connection is related not only to space but also to time. The project revitalizes the city's spirit and cultural memory. It creates a privileged center between movement and void.
