In the 1970s space colonies were considered to be a viable alternative to a life restricted to planet Earth. The design of cylindrical space...Now playingSpaceCollective Where forward thinking terrestrials share ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction.Introduction Featuring Powers of Ten by Charles and Ray Eames, based on an idea by Kees Boeke.
This work is conceptualized as an "organic tower." The magnetic fluid, with a smooth black surface that seems to draw you in, reaches the top of the tower, spreading like a fractal, defying gravity. The form and texture of the physical surface of the tower constantly alter between the hard iron core and the changing form of soft fluid. This is a dynamic sculpture, with reactable fluid surface
A fluorocarbon-based ferrofluid, with about 400-G saturation magnetization and low field magnetic susceptibility of 3, is placed within a glass Hele-Shaw cell of 1.1-mm gap. Magnetic fields are applied that have in-plane clockwise rotating and dc axial magnetic fields.
Protrude Flow expresses the dynamics of fluid motion of physical material, the dynamics of organic, wild shapes and movements of liquid by means of digital computer control. Protrude Flow uses magnetic fluid, sound, and moving images. Affected by the sounds and spectators' voices in the exhibition place, the three-dimensional patterns of magnetic fluid transform in various ways, and simultaneously its flowing movement and dynamic transformations are projected on the wide screen.
DESIGN COLONY SKETCH
Incorporating organic architecture from coral reef colonies and inspired by patterns created by diffuse limited aggregation, these are some prototypes of the organic inspired design. Fragmentation, Diffusion, and Aggregation are key words for my interpretation of organic-inspired design.

Bill Viola
Five Angels for the Millennium (2001) web link
Five individual video sequences (Birth Angel; Fire Angel; Ascending Angel; Creation Angel; and Departing Angel, pictured) are projected directly onto the walls of a darkened gallery.
The Faraday Chair provides shelter from electromagnetic fields invading our homes. It is a utilitarian shelter of minimum dimensions and comfort, it might even be a retreat, a new place to dream, away from the constant bombardment of telecomunication and electronic radiation.

Hideaway Furniture
Hideaway Furniture is for people who are afraid of being abducted. Each opens in a surprising way without disturbing objects displayed on its surface.

The Electro-draught Excluder
The Electro-draught Excluder deflects stray electromagnetic fields. The Placebo project is an experiment in taking conceptual design beyond the gallery into everyday life.
ARCHITECTURE
Bahrain World Trade Center
Bahrain Island web link
Three wind turbine blades have been successfully installed on the Bahrain World Trade Center, a twin skyscraper complex. This is the first time that a commercial development has integrated large-scale wind turbines within its design to harness the power of the wind.

Archiborescence web link
An approach to architecture that uses as essential construction blocks all forms of living organisms, most notably plants.
This Pod has solar panels on the roof to heat the water, a wind turbine to generate power and a wood burning stove in case there’s no wind.

“Phare” (lighthouse)
To be built in Paris as “a prototype for a green building” with a wind farm generating its own heating and cooling for five months of the year and a movable “double skin” to cut the heat from direct sunlight through the windows.
ADVERTISING
Adidas 2006 World Cup Ad
Width: 65m
Hight: 18m web link
The ‘Impossible Team ‘ campaign ran during the 2006 World Cup, Adidas placed a massive billboard on a bridge construction site on the way to the Munich airport, featuring a German goalkeeper in action in this immersive environment.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Bergbahnen, the logo, at an altitude of 3000 meters is projected from across the valley, almost 1 km away, every night from 6pm to midnight.
