Lamp designs inspired by
Cristóbal Balenciaga’s work
Seasonal exhibition by a
group of students enrolled at the Higher Technical School of Architecture on
the University of the Basque Country’s Gipuzkoa campus (UPV/EHU).
By means of architectural
analysis of a range of outfits designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga, a total of 16
students have designed and built prototypes for 12 lights which are now on
exhibition at the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum.
The multifunctional hall
in the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum will show how this project was carried out,
as well as the results it has produced, until 30th September 2012.

The Perpetual Evolution of Production in the City
Tutor: Eugene Han
The project is about the coexistence of production within the dense parameters of Shenzhen and the question is how multiple scales of production can coexist and reorganise themselves. It is obvious that China produces most of the world’s products now and Shenzhen became the first Special Economy Zone. The city has suffered from a new urban plan and been transformed by different zoning plans; therefore, the argument suggests marking down on the city and identifying manufacturing hubs through the juxtaposition and overlay of a new system grid for the city.
My argument is that the city is no longer a single system concentrated in one area. The city today operates as a series of supply chains that can be understood as the intercultural property of the city. My proposal is therefore ultimately to be reflected in the architecture of the whole city: not one of a massive factory plans in Shenzhen but rather as a master scheme that integrates with and interacts with the city. To synthesise my project, the argument focuses on how the role of representation of a city can be manifested through its existing systems, and catalysed through a diffused centrality of buildings. In conclusion, my project asks how cities of an emerging nature can represent themselves at the global level through architecture.
