SNARKITECTURE : INFLATABLE SHAPES - ART BASEL

Inflated vinyl tubes are bundled together to create a topographical landscape in suspension. Filtered light passes between the tubes of the inverted landscape creating a space both interactive and contemplative. Apertures in the canopy above frame views of the Miami sky and allow natural light and fresh air into the interior.

Sustainable Market Square Competition Entry / Nikolova/Aarsø

The shapes of the “tree” canopies, with thick stems centrally located in each “tree”, are designed as huge rain water collectors. Their branching areas collect rainwater almost equal to the entire site area and guide it down through their stems into underground water storage tanks. The collected water is used to fill up the integrated water basins in the market pavement and also for the daily cleaning of the market stalls. Water vaporization from the water basins pre-cools the air flow before it flows under the canopies, and works in collaboration with the smart-glass layer to control the temperature during hot days. Hot polluted air exhausts trough the gaps in the overlaying “tree crowns”.
