THE “CATCH-UP” INSTITUTION

RE-ENVISIONING THE ‘INSTITUTION’ AS A CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT Site: Foress, Scotland Year: 2016

Catch-up’ is an institution for previously hospitalized children to catch-up on the creative development that they may have missed in the time spent within an enclosed environment.

Accordingly, the institution creates a threshold to re-enter society through outdoor play.

The open and remote environment allows for the freedom of their creative expression through in movement and play, which allows for the use of senses in the way a child faces challenges and responds to them. The elegant combination between nature and magical stories designs a fantasy that can allow the children to explore both their conscious and unconscious minds.

As a proposed location for a Glasgow School of Art campus the, Altyre Estate’s existing farm and barn history has a magically natural setting that may simulate the imagination and trigger the creativity of a child, combined with GSA’s Institute of Design innovation research courses they may aid the institution from an educational stand point.

SHELTER AN OUTDOOR MARKET

THE PRESERVATION OF A SCOTTISH SMALL TOWN Site: Beith, Scotland Year: 2014

I designed an outdoor market shaped around an existing rock covered in spontaneous nature and vegetation. The market is located at the very centre of the small town Beith in Scotland.

The Main street where the market is located used to be greatly occupied for many years, with commerce, activity and people. Unfortunately over the time, due to rural to urban migration,

it became a routine of Beith to have the inhabitants to travel in and out of Beith. The result of

closing of shops and decrease in population led to a significantly poorer preservation of the town’s physical appearance on top of its culture, social and historical heritage and events.

The market would become an object of temporary use, and act as a trigger to potential new habits, usage, and behaviour.

A VIEW INTO THE MACKINTOSH THE BEAUTY OF A RUIN With Vojtech Nemec Site: Glasgow School of Art Year:2016

A playful and interactive periscope offering the view into the Mackintosh’s library at its

current inaccessible state to wider public. The optical channel takes an onlooker on a journey from GSA’s architectural department accross the street through the scaffolding into the beloved Mackintosh’s library. The installation creates a virtual bridge into a ruin that posseses powerful qualities in itself as it fosters imagination.

The ruin creates the imaginary of a past that could have been and a future that it could have had, as we are led to the utopian dreams of trying to step out of an irreversible time.

THE INVENTORY REUSE OF RECYCLED WOOD

Team leaders: András Cseh, Endre Ványolós Team members: Florian Gabriel, Maelys Garreau, Petró Panna, Burista Emese, Jambrik Máté, Mercedes Palacio Site: Csóromfölde, Hungary Year:2016

“The project is an introduction to the concept of settling: it marks the event of an arrival.

It becomes a reference point when you place down your travelling kit and pick up what you will need. Placed by the entrance on the edge of Csóromfölde. It awaits you as a membrane to pass through both ways, leaving one world with its gadgets behind and gearing up for the adventures to come. You come home to stay, play, work, eat, think, party - to be. Here you will find all you need in one extensible ‘light’, box-like object: the firewood, stones for the fireplace, a saw, a cleaver, a tub, the ladder, a bicycle etc. All are recognisable accessories that inseparably belong to us and once put together will form an inextricable part of the beginning of our story. Inventory is supposed to be an object of identification just like the inventory in Moonrise Kingdom of Wes Anderson. It models the ritual of an arrival and departure through mundane, though very iconic material proofs. “

OFFICE FOR TERRITORIAL RECONFIGURATION ‘VILLA BOURGUET’ Architectural Experience Site: Aix en Provence, France Year: 2016

The project was about redesigning the park as a mixed place, residence and work, where this preserved park would simultaneously welcome those who work, sleep, or just come to spend some time there. Located very close to the major university centers, it is fair to

accommodate a large number of student accommodations and offices. The park is thought of as a multi-programmatic public space, nurtured by the immediate urban context. In addition, there would be small services in all kind of forms. It is about creating a space where people can live, work or relax at different times. For these reasons, the architectural language of the site will drive away from the standards of the office building, or housing, to define more specific approaches, strongly inspired by the historical figure of the old house, which will be preserved.

OFFICE FOR TERRITORIAL RECONFIGURATION ‘LES FOLIES, NANTERRE’ Architectural Experience Site: Nanterre, France Year: 2016

The ‘Jardins de l’Arche’ is a competition in Nanterre that aims in developing an urban green and inhabited space with a series of ‘Folies’ along the way stretching from ‘La Grande Arche’ to the Arena. One of the question raised is its capacity to develop a public space as a place of

relaxation in contrast with the neighbor business district.

The site finds its axis through the beautiful wooden footbridge of Chemetov. Today it is no longer accessible to the public, but we though of re-incorporating it the closest as to what the garden ressembled and drew to the landscape. This approach is one we privileged by widening the perception of the whole and thinking our proposal in a setting where the garden would find a public use again as a historical square.
