amila HRUSTIC: The collection consists of five unique dresses handcrafted from a combination of textiles and paper. The main inspiration for the entire Collection is located in Platonic solids. Plato, the great Greek philosopher, studied what we now call “Platonic solids”. No one knows who first described the shapes of these bodies, perhaps early Pythagoreans, but some, including Euclid, say that it was a close friend of Plato’s Theaetetus.

faez MIRABIAN, mohammad EKHLASI, & sahand AHMADIAN TEHRANI: The Zagros building can be seen as an answer to the problem of an urban landmark for an area of Hamadan that is undergoing major urban change. The district has been rapidly changing its face to a business-commercial district during the last few years through the construction of numerous administrative and commercial high-rise buildings.

gillian SHAFFER & justin HATTENDORF: Columbia Center for Competitive Rowing merges the rich history of boat fabrication techniques with the uniquely American attitude of competitive rowing, that which is rooted in the public spectator event. Rather than limiting the experience of the shoreline to Columbia University the building shell peels backwards, exposing itself to become one with the fabric of the Spuyten Duyvil waterfront.

johan TALI: Deep Futures.
The collective and individual work by the students will predominately focus around the concept of the city, and in particular the notion of city as a laboratory for the deep futures of human interaction, technological and ecological intelligence, spatial and formal play and experiment and discovery. The search is for new forms, types and assemblies of architecture more or less centered theory and research into the future of architecture with the space of cities. Students in this will initiate Deep Futures by investigating both contemporary and future potentials for new yet to be designed cities.

christian o. STROM: The images focus on moments of material transformation as moments of heightened ambiguity. Forms, boundaries, textures and colors become unfamiliar and the resulting amorphous nature of the subject invites questions about being and becoming.

For the first time, Sbarro abandons combustion engines and fits an electric motor to a sporty concept: two Recaro bucket seats with harness, a 100kW motor (136hp) located at the rear powers the vehicle weighting only 980kg . . . The concept receives 19” OZ lightweight wheels, and the LiFePO4 batteries located on the side of the vehicle allow a 180km range, last but not least, the Intencity is rear-wheel drive . . .
