Selva oscura 'under the shadow of the darkling forest'
A forest storytelling pavilion.The last rays of evening sunlight burn there flickering path across the darkest corners. This is the time for the drummer,To arise from his forest home,And begin his tales.From this place Imagination gives rise to the lurking shadows, Cast by the chimneys around which we huddled.The wild forest mushrooms roasting in the fires embers.

The Temple Bar
Functioning as a café-bar at daytime and a bar at night, the 'Temple Bar' is more than that. By taking its programmatic region to a new one: region of space. A simple use of basic form and levels leading to a bar having substance with the 'meeting place' term. The Bar is the 'space between'- a temple, an urban room, a campus, a theatre. Located between 'U' type building defining limits and space, the bar is connecting between earth and sky, extends its spatial experiment into the street in front, and into the city. Like this, the urban narrative continuity. The street is a stage, a scene, and sometimes it is the opposite, an integral part of the meeting narrative, a dialogue between two urban positions.In urban context of a small neighborhood with vibrant atmosphere, the bar serves a vital purpose at the centre of young community of tel-aviv. People will meet and talk, they will converse and exchange ideas, drink and eat, play and integrate on many levels, listen to lectures and watch the street and the world goes by.

the green deck
Chosen site location is in a busy neighbourhood where school, office, commercial, and service buildings are located. Yogyakarta is famous as students’ city, where art and knowledge shape its daily activity. This meeting point will accommodate the needs of students to have discussion on their afterhours, place where small lectures can be arranged, place where artists can have small showcases, and place to watch the world goes by (on its literal meaning) .Why in a junction? Simply because junction itself is an intersection. People will gather in a hub that is a “real†hub. Yet its floating structure doesn’t need land, which in this area is very expensive.Why just deck and why green? Hot tropical climate requires a building to be airy enough for human thermal comfort. I don’t want aircon to be used since it consumes a lot of energy. Instead, this green building will also help to reduce city pollution. Its very simple and basic form, with open plan floor will create a spacious room, yet cost effective. No Starbucks, no Dunkin Donuts, no formal layout! It lets traditional-food street vendors to lay their retails, and people will enjoy foods on whatever ways they like.

UK No-Man's-Land
A sublime shared meeting place that shifts on currents of air and overcomes the inevitable ties that accompany contested territories on the ground.‘No-Man’s-Land’ functions at high altitude and directly above the political and economical fault lines that lie below. It stakes a claim of claiming no land. Instead two separate, lightweight platforms on rails are lifted into the sky by two identical; helium filled aluminised nylon tower balloons, which bring the two platforms together in mid-air to provide a floating meeting place. The service is for interested parties on either side of a contested settlement to forge relationships and build bridges that may not be feasible in person on the ground.

Hydrogram
EACH HYDROGRAM IS LINKED IN WITH ALL OF THE OTHER HYDROGRAMS LOCATED RANDOMLY AROUND THE GLOBE. INDIVIDUALS USE A COMPUTER INTERFACE TO CHOOSE ONE OF THE OTHER SATELLITE LOCATIONS TO CONNECT TO. THE HYDROGRAMS RELAY VIDEO OF THE SELECTED LOCATION AND PROJECT THE MOTION FROM THAT SATELLITE HYDROGRAM TO THE LOCAL HYDROGRAM ON A SERIES OF FALLING SHEETS OF WATER. THE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES ARE CONSTANTLY DISTORTED AND OBSERVED IN LAYERS. ULTIMATELY USERS WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE VISUAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHILE INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER LOCALLY.
