SuperStudio's Faceted Icon

This is the major inspiration I am using for my project in Design Studio this semester.

It is called Faceted Icon and I found it on a blog called SuperStudio.

Ewha Womans University Campus Center Project

Ewha Womans University Campus Center Project.  Seoul, Korea 2004-08

By Dominique Perrault, a fairly young french architect. Check out the website HERE.

This is one of the more exciting and innovative designs out there now that ACTUALLY got build. Usually things like this are a bit too radical to be realized.

Inspiration

Inspiration for Marina Abromivic's Studio:

 These two projects are "Chicken Point Cabin" and "The Brain" respectively, both by Olson Kundig Architects.

These are of a projects called "Cloister House" by Tezuka Architecture. But their website has a BUNCH of very interesting modern, yet highly influence by Japanese tradition, houses that are fun to look through.

Then they are some random pictures, that if I really wanted I can find the names and architects for, but Since I'm not analyzing them, but  just being inspired, I don't want to go through the trouble :)

More process on this project to come :)

Current Preoccupation - STUDIO FOR MARINA ABRAMOVIC

First Studio porject of the year is always very conceptual and "creative". This year is the same, we are baing asked to create a studio space for a NON-visual artist. 
 chose Marina Abramovic as my inspiration for a whole bunch of reasons. 
But all you really need to know is that she is a performing artist, most active in the 70's, Serbian, very provacative in her work, and interested in the limitations of the body and mind. Basically she's hard-core. (In my mind I imagine her as  a grizzly bear, haha)

Here is a promo/trailer for "The Artist is Present" one of her more recent performances:




Here is a video of a movie/experiment/training she leads:



NOW, coming back to my project, these are some ideas/progress sketches/concept designs for the studio I'm creating for her:

Well, that's it for now. Gonna get started on the next step. Editing, re-working the design and all that.
