Whispering Curves : Igloo Pods in White Village

Imagining the future after a cold dystopia, In collaboration with AI, we have designed igloo-shaped buildings with geometrically elegant and flexible curves situated on the white island and village of Antarctica. This architectural design has been made with the optimal material for us to survive in the low-temperature climate change. The igloo-like structure draws inspiration from the traditional Inuit homes, made with ice blocks that provide insulation and warmth, and adapts it to the future world with advanced technology and design. The use of geometry not only creates a visually appealing aesthetic but also allows for efficient use of space and resources. The result is a harmonious blend of tradition, technology, and nature, presenting a hopeful vision of humanity's future in the face of climate change.

Hotel REEF

Hotel REEF is a bio-structured building embedded in our oceanic ecosystem. The hotel is built as part of a reef that needed restoration and includes both over and underwater levels. The reef is the hotel and the hotel is the reef. The interior design is inspired by the complex and rich coral structures, and the outer part is an integral and continuous part of the coral reef formation. The hotel is built using 3D printing where the skeleton is used as a platform for coral growth in order to increase biodiversity. A guest in the hotel will feel as if he is surrounded by marine life and is part of a living and growing system. The interior design of marine environments together with the ocean’s natural views will allow a meditative and relaxing atmosphere that only underwater presence can give. I see a growing need for our society to strengthen its connection with nature and how we as humans use architecture to integrate with our surroundings. Bioarchitecture is an approach to designing buildings that are in harmony with nature. This growing field in architecture uses natural elements as part of the design and the main goal is to promote both functional and esthetic design that takes into consideration the urgent need to reduce the carbon footprint of human life. Hotel Reef will allow new marine life to thrive as well as help reestablish the bond between humans and nature.

Journeying through the Nexus of Aquatic Futurism, Paleobiology, Marine Life, and Ecological Consciousness

This odyssey offers a profound opportunity to reflect on our relationship with the natural world, as we embark on a quest to merge the worlds of aquatic futurism, paleontology, and environmental stewardship. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, we have the power to protect and save endangered marine life. As we journey together, let us cultivate a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with all life and the responsibility we bear to protect it.

Iridescence Hotel: A Futuristic Oasis of Bubbles and Light

The Iridescence Hotel is a futuristic hotel that takes inspiration from the organic and playful forms of soap bubbles. Designed with an emphasis on natural light, the hotel features translucent structures that allow light to flow throughout the space, creating an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere. Upon entering the hotel, guests will be transported to a world of bubbles. The lobby features a soaring atrium with a series of bubbly forms that seem to float in mid-air. The hotel's rooms and suites are equally unique, with curvaceous walls and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding cityscape. The hotel also has various amenities and services, including a rooftop bar with panoramic views, a fitness center, a quite chillout zone, and a variety of dining options featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

"Junkspace": Designing for a Layered World

September 2022 to December 2022 The Living Systems Studio asked “what is design in the near-ish future?” For me, design — and ultimately “Junkspace” — is the product of cross-disciplinary collaboration that explores spatial design through architecture and computational methods. This project was an experiment integrating AI methods in a traditional design process. This included generating heat maps and transience maps of DTLA, parameterized floor plans, and a digital material bank. This approach used the following AI methods: object oriented programming through multiple languages, scripted design applications, and data manipulation and visualization. “Junkspace” is inspired by time as it relates to the seasons, and Rem Koolhaas’s Junkspace, by the same name. Much like the natural world, humans live in constant overlapping systems that directly affect our way of life. Through studying people’s natural rhythms, as an individual, a group, and at the urban scale, this speculative design speaks to 1) increasing urban density in Downtown Los Angeles, and 2) creating small and overlapping interiors generated through computational design, especially in space that isn’t necessarily desirable to take over.

Spizzerinctum 0.1

Spizzerinctum - the will to succeed: vim, energy, ambition a project about unnatural nature The year is 2150. Humans live in dual Metaverse-like online space and digitally augmented built environment. Governments have split into two groups in their global missions. Our efforts to optimize nature are focused on dealing with consumerism-induced environmental crisis on planet Earth, on one hand, and populating Mars, on the other hand. Here I have decided to take an exclusively futuristic look at the possible advanced ways we would be dealing with our environment 127 years from now. First, we have a vast digital platform which encompases all the built environment on earth that we continue to inhabit. We control and navigate everything online with minimum LOD 400. As we walk outdoors we would wear special AR glasses that would help us see the environment - not in the way we have 'abandoned' it but the way we have augmented it and visually-optimized it in our online BIM platform. Second, we now can use artificially created bacteria and whole living ecosystems that would digest plastic and other unnatural materials/fabrics to help us improve the metabolism of our planet. Multidisciplinary teams of architects, BIM and AI specialists, engineers and biologists have designed countless closed spaces in crowded urban areas - from corner booths to big edifices. These controlled places are populated with artificial ecosystems that recycle plastic and other previously non-recyclable materials. Part of these ecosystems are designed in a way that they would thrive well only with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsium, which would give them frosty winter look. These are so-called mini-museums of the lost season (winter). Of course, each and every Spizzerinctum booth/ museum/ building is augmented and accessible as online gallery/ public space. Their appearance is generated in unique way with the help of AI algorhythms, so that in real life they can be seen as massive sculptures and art masterpieces through the lens of Metaverse glasses.

Artificial Nature - When nature meets design

The idea of nature is an abstraction, varying in cultures, places, periods and context. It has the multiplicity of processes and things which is held under a bigger umbrella known as NATURE. According to Frank Lyold Wright, nature is the manifestation of God, where everyone can learn from this body of God known as Nature rather than just imitating the form of the building as a flower or a tree which is natural and its properties can't be controlled by humans. So nature in architecture is seen as a process or quality which is different to all the practitioners giving a demonstration of their understanding of this term of “Nature”. So my idea was that the building could be a fusion of nature and architecture where the power of Mother Earth is not just limited to the four walls. I took inspiration from various forms of nature like water, forest, coral reef as well as the concept of biophillic design and used those in my prompts to generate these ideas. I tried fusing nature with architecture which is not only practically buildable but also magnificent to experience. This fusion depicts the beauty of artificial nature in its true form.

Rationalization of the organic form through 3Dprint

Organic Factories

Authors: Daniel Abraham Gandica Hana Čičević This architectural project explores a future in which plants are manufactured in factories controlled by Artificial Intelligence, as opposed to being grown from seeds. The project focuses on the concept of an almost post-human world, in which plants have taken over three abandoned factories located in different climate zones, and repurposed them for their own use. The design of the factories is an exploration of how plants could inhabit such spaces and how they could be adapted for their needs. The project also looks at how the AI could be programmed to control the environment of the factory, including temperature, light and water levels. The factories and the plants create a symbiotic relationship where nature and architecture not only co-exist, but rather co-depend.

Green biomorphosis

"Nature" and "artificial" are often seen as two opposing concepts. "Nature" generally refers to the physical world and its phenomena, including living organisms and non-living materials, which are not created by humans. "Artificial," on the other hand, refers to anything that is made or produced by human beings, including machines, structures, and systems. However, in recent times, the border between the natural and the artificial has become increasingly blurred. Many of the things we create are inspired by the natural world, and we often try to imitate or replicate natural systems in our technological innovations. For example, biomimicry is a design approach that takes inspiration from nature to create sustainable and efficient solutions. Furthermore, as humans transform and impact the natural world through our activities, it can be argued that many landscapes and ecosystems have become "artificialized." For example, cities, highways, and industrial areas have eliminated natural habitats and altered the composition of the environment.
