Amazing perspective

This may sound as a bit to hippie but I find this way of seeing things very interesting. There is something in our condition of being human that make us, sometimes don't fully see the all picture. We need people like this to make us, use the brain again!!!
Have a look and leave a comment..:)

Vertical maze

Short project where the aim was to create an intervention for the court yard of our University building.

Taking about 10 hours for the entire process (Concept > development > sketches> renders>page layout), the main consideration was the use of the vertical space in order to increase the usable area and by so, connect both buildings at different levels.
As always I feel driven for the natural instinct of checking how Nature does in cases like this (vertical spaces), and end it up by realizing that ants do it, we just don't see it because it is underground.
So, ants and their nest! It looks like a maze created by an infinite number of tunnels, which seem also to connect different small "rooms".
Those small rooms in my vision, can be communal multi-function spaces spaces, for open air lectures, exhibitions and much more.
The vegetation could be food grown in hydroponics and after used in the kitchen of the school, why not at least try make the starbucks a bit greener?



Chaumont sur Loire competition

I remember that was a bit of a struggle to have ideas for this project.
Interesting was what I have learned with it. in 15 mnts we developed a concept and a master plan.
The end result, which I really like, is an abstraction of the idea of obsessive collection. Is different, interesting and very simple!
