FutureBuilt ten-year program to promote sustainable construction and the overall intensi cation of architectural production in Oslo during the last decade suggest a larger future transformation of the urban economy and the form of the city itself. As urban population has been surpassing the rural in a global scale, advanced western cities such as Oslo are challenged to rethink their future not only in terms of sustainability, but also in terms of social inclusion, political participation and urban evolution. The deeper point of sustainability needs to expand beyond the physical search for less greenhouse gas emissions and engage the urban dwellers into a collective discussion about the urbanity within which we want to perform our existence. We propose a playful interactive application that represents in a comprehensive and simplistic way the importance of architectural representation in imagining the future of our cities. Urban dwellers can use the app...

BEYOND MODERNITY. Visions for the future of London The British Pavilion at the 15 th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2016 should focus on the current architectural production of London and the potential radical visions that can construct an alternative future development for the city, towards a more inclusive and anthropocentric direction. We propose the transformation of the British Pavilion into a physical and conceptual platform that could generate vital dialogue and productive contemplation for London’s urbanity and the global urban condition at large, by exhibiting advanced research material about the current built environment of the city, as well as exemplary realized projects or visionary paper proposals for its future evolution. We propose the installation of a stage for meetings, events and discussions inside the large central room of the Pavilion, and a continuous flow of movement and knowledge through the other five rooms of the building. The suggested scheme inverts the ph...

Shortlisted Projects 2015- finalist Project Team 1 st phase: Irgen Salianji, Karolina Szóstkiewicz Project Team 2 st phase: Irgen Salianji, Karolina Szóstkiewicz, Alberto Salvador Martin Landscape Architect: Marina Kounavi Curatorial Consultant: Liana Sofiadi Statement The Bauhaus Container proposal suggests a connection of all the Bauhaus fragments in Dessau by addressing the museum as the first stop for visitors that arrive in the city through the train station. Designed with the fundamental principles of the Bauhaus School, such as the free plan and the iconographic volumetric abstraction, the museum performs as a physical and conceptual link between the history of the Bauhaus School and the urbanity of Dessau . The Bauhaus Container is a modest and efficient pavilion-building that merges with the landscape of the City Park, yet at the same time it engages with the continuum of the city fabric on the street level.  Cityscape & Urban Development The museum establishes a str...

Competition Project 2015 Statement Bauhaus City proposes a dynamic programmatic organization of a museum that brings together the exhibitions of the Bauhaus archive and the urbanity of Dessau into one single architectural gesture. Making a direct link between the historical fragments of Bauhaus and the overall impact of modernity in Dessau’s urban archeology, the proposal moves beyond the need to construct a building and instead suggests the clustering of an urban curatorial apparatus within the explicit frame of a rectangular porous envelope. The Bauhaus Museum performs as a cultural city within the city of Dessau. Concept/Urban Presence The proximity of the site with the train station and its position on the edge between the City Park and the center of Dessau, generates the question of whether the Bauhaus Museum should perform as an urban structure that opens to the city or as a landscape pavilion that is integrated in the park. We propose a museum building that is itself organized a...
