ferda KOLATAN: Pluripotent Structures describe a series of experimental investigations we have been conducting into more adaptive and variable design systems, which take advantage of multi-scalar and parametric techniques to generate formal organizations that challenge conventional architectural categorizations such as structure, volume and surface.

christina VASSALLO: Random Number Multiples provides an opportunity for artists to expand their repertoire through artwork editioning processes. It is a platform for artists to experiment with new techniques or engage with familiar ones in new ways.

emrah CETINKAYA: Art has a great role in showing what happens in human beings’ life. Soul, intelligence and the emotions are the reflections of the community, and Art forms the social identities of communities. It also shows us the difference between the various social identities. Global influences effect the types of knowledge acquisitions or the social values in the art, and the artists determine the standards of modern life.

naureen MEYER: Operating at an increased degree of the superfluous, the expanse and ability of the cosmetic effect to transform the identity of architecture is tested. Much like the relationship of makeup to the human face, the cosmetic enhances and creates illusion in existing features. In The Cunning of Cosmetics, Jeffrey Kipnis describes the effect as more “visceral than intellectual, more atmospheric than aesthetic.” The effect is an intrinsic essence; its power lies in its subtle meshing between face and makeup and the ambiguous border it creates between the two.

FutureDeluxe: We were approached by global media and technology company Black Ocean to create a branding identity and a series of animations which represented the digital aspects of their ever changing platform. We set about creating a set of contemporary liquid based dynamic forms which could transform into any number of combinations and compositions.

arthur AZOULAI + melody REES: This project is a morphological study that assumes an extended field of movement and circulating forces. It is designed by simulating self-organizing biological systems where selective decision making is used to sculpt innate yet deliberate spatial relationships and formal qualities. At its pure essence, this project is an infrastructural system that acts as a receiver and link-up for formal architectural systems. The inherent continuity of the overall form as a topological surface allows for the emergence of roadways, interstitial interior space, and landscape.

kristen GEORGE + jesus BANUELOS: The project was to design a contemporary façade for Palladio’s Palazzo della Ragione in the city of Vicenza, Italy. A decision was made to modify the program of Palladio’s basilica and create an astronomical observatory. The desire was to create a public destination and landmark in the city to attract visitors as well as residents of Vicenza.
