Show moreThe project is located in Chicago IL, between Bridgeport and Pilsen neighborhood, on an abandoned industrial site named Bubbly Creek. Discover. Action. Change. summarizes the intervention and the effect of this architectural project. The developed project wants to activate and change this deteriorate site into a place where people can came together and be aware of the new discoveries for green technologies and also can beneficiate of the outdoor space that incorporate lots of activities year-round. A bike and a pedestrian path are proposed to link two existent streets from the opposite neighborhoods and also to activate the site. The building, composed of two structures, is anchored along the path to reinforce it and also to create a reference point to everything ales on the site. The two proposed buildings represent a Research Center for Green Technologies with a training center and an Exhibit / Community space. These two structures are linked together through the RED TWIST element which guides the interested eye from the entrance at the south side, all the way to the North side. The twist serves as a floor for the first building and then chances and becomes the roof of the second building. In the end through all this elements implemented on the site, the project hopes to be a success for bringing people together into a pleasant environment, to an interesting / interactive building that allows visitors to be explored .

Show moreC-ward is the neighborhood (in Mumbai) that was designed and developed around 1940 and thereafter there has been no or very little improvement in infrastructure, which has led to narrow street, unsafe pedestrian and limited open space. C-ward in one of the most prime real-estate location considering it right next to financial district , close to major train station and close to Shoreline. ROMF (Remaking of Mumbai Federation) has taken the initiative to develop the C-ward and the project site part of ROMF development area. City centers have always been source of density because of scarcity of land. The sensible and effective use of such land would be to build vertical (high-rise) and also to have the possibility of expansion for the future development. A mixed use high rise development diversifies the use of space within a single building structure. Combination of living, entertainment, shopping and lodging in single urban structure, helps to utilize the full potential of an urban site. Sponsorship: Durbrow, John Show less
