Designing Geopolitics 2, an intimate interdisciplinary symposium on policy and projects visualizing a recomposed global landscape of sovereignties, infrastructures, and identities, this Saturday at UC San Diego. Designing Geopolitics 2 will extend the critical questions: What is the territory of the Cloud Polis? What alien models of sovereignty require invention, revitalization or redesign? What is the role of speculative design thinking in prototyping real alternatives? and more.

Alisa ANDRASEK + Jose SANCHEZ: Guided by the iconic features of pop culture such as exuberant colors and light, Phosphorescence explores the possibilities of bringing such polychromatic shimmer qualities to the site. As contemporary scientists marking brain neurons with phosphorescent glow to open new dimensions of our knowledge of the brain, we simultaneously sampled electrified lightscape of Taiwanese streets and night markets.

KAOHSIUNG PORT TERMINAL
by BIOTHING 2010 _ competition proposal
principal designers: Alisa Andrasek + Jose Sanchez
design team: Knut Brunier – Gabriel Morales – Denis Lacej

suckerPUNCH: describe your project.

alisa ANDRASEK: Cliff formations found along many coastlines (including Kaohsiung outer coastline) are resonated through strong vertical fissures of the building. Fractals are frequently used to calculate coastline behavior, given the different degree of “roughness” and multiple orders of scale found in natural coastlines. ||Fissures Port Terminal proposal reflects the idea of such complex articulation within the tectonics of the building.
