FLOATING DE MAIO (Maria Charneco, Alfredo Lérida, Guillermo López, Anna Puigjaner) Seleccionado para la nueva edición de Arquia/Próxima. El stand subvierte la formulación de dos conceptos tradicionalmente opuestos: su ligereza visual y física: con un peso de 30 Kg, el stand permite, mediante stocks de tubos de vidrio utilizados por la industria química, la formación de un techo continuo de 54 m2. Soportada por seis globos de helio de 3m. de diámetro, la instalación permite ser fácilmente transportada.

UTOPIA FACTORY ABRAXAS | Stéphane Degoutin [Quaderns #263 contributor], Gwenola Wagon, 2010. Abraxas is the name of a gnostic god created by Basilides, an heretic religious teacher of the second century. The Basilidians did not believe in a magnanimous god, but rather in a demiurge, dual divinity. According to Carl Jung, Abraxas is “life and death in the same time. It engenders truth and lie, good and bad, light and darkness in the same word and in the same action”. Thomas More first used the word Abraxas to name the island later known as “Utopia”. Presumably was he inspired by Erasmus’ Praise of Folly, in which Abraxas designates the city of the mad men. Only in the definitive version of his text did Thomas More coin the term “utopia”. Utopia Factory is a research center where different utopias are experimented at full scale. Anyone can suggest a project. If it is accepted, a campaign is launched to find candidates for the experiment. The approach is empiric: the volunteers test the utopias for a period of a few months. In the event that it would not work as expected, they can experience another utopia, or come back to their previous lives.

In attempting to redefine architecture as a living organism, the initial inspiration from natural and scientific processes concentrates on ideas of cyclical phase change and differentiation, all operating under the much larger umbrella of adaptability. The idea that this transformation is necessitated by climatic conditions, and thereby cyclical (or seasonal) is important, since it implies a feature of growth and compression. As such, nature of a fluctuating environment and the constant variations in the severity of the cycles produces a set of constant differentiations.

Hub Typologies: Each of the AFN’s hubs encircling Nunavut’s Foxe Basin will relate to its local ecosystems and proximity to communities. The proposed hubs are to be distributed at 160-kilometre intervals and occupy various types of landscapes: land, water/ice, and coastal conditions.
