MAPT

The Embassy proposal is an entropic political laboratory sited in the Dead Sea mirroring the drama of the ongoing Middle East crisis. The design is defined by a loose entity of architectural coral-like objects floating in slow motion and searching for equilibrium and purpose. Processes of uncertainty are translated into architectural choreography of temporal kinetic assemblages. The staged scenarios are exploiting the deep sea environment of barren life, mono-color and the taxonomy of dissolving light, time and gravity.

The portfolio documents the various stages of the design process exemplifying and exploiting the scope of the studio structure and the work with different media as exploratory and communicative tools. The project builds up design arguments deeper interest and understanding of the interrelations of humanism, design and environment.
