The climate in Fillan, Hitra is characterised by cold winters and mild summers, and thus the project proposal aims to limit the rate of heat flow through its envelope as a main priority while implementing passive and active strategies to reduce and account for energy
Strategies which require human input, inspired by both primitive and more modern methods are emphasised in a dynamic rather than static response to climate

- To incourage surrounding growth of area through provision of

Urban travelators encourage circulation around the structure while connecting broken links between parts of the city. They are used for art exhibitions during the day and illuminate at night to create a land mark that can be seen from most parts of the city.
Through a membrane separating interior and exterior space, light is diffused in to the gallery while outside air is cleansed by

Avenida Argentina’s character as industrial zone is changing as the area merges with the rest of the city, turning it in to an area of mixed-use where neighbourhoods with low to medium density housing, commerce and large scale industry must learn to coexist. A developing tendency has been observed of large scale industry abandoning the area for the preference of a better suited industrial area further north of Lima.

The proposed vision plan aims to take advantage of current wasteland as well as the liberation of large industrial plots to increase the amount and quality of open public spaces among existing urban structures.
A strategically improved mobility and permeability scheme assures safer & friendlier areas while counteracting social as well as physical seclusion.

The ambition of the alternative skyscraper is to reinvent the idea of cars and car parking as traditionally perceived in Hong Kong while simultaneously making a stance as a recognizable icon for sustainability
The building’s circulation spaces are partially exposed to the outdoors From the drop off a temporary platform transfers cars to the car lifts located at each side of the building. Cars are lifted to available levels where, transported on plates, all cars are pushed towards the building’s center to free up availablespace.
Five car lifts displayed on the external facade of the building operate together in both vertical and horizontal movement to collect and transfer parked cars down tothe pick up area.

need has been established within Melbourne’s culturally and linguistically diverse society to provide more flexible ways of accessing treatment at an early stage and thus primary focus of this project has been to develop an approachable and socially relevant treatment option for low to moderate depression in young

the physical requirements of clinical rehabilitation with a consideration of the spiritual and emotional sides connected to mental health, while achieving a
