TO SEE and BE SEENWASHINGTON DC

Architecture/urban designTo See and Be Seen, mixed useHostel, Observation tower (15 stories), retail and offices

To See and Be Seen is inspired by the grand central stairs fromthe Opera House in Paris. The public space created engagesthe public and encourages social interactions amongst the people. Every space reinforces the concept of seeing and beingseen, the facade system, the skywalks, the observation stations(glass boxes) and the main atrium space.

URBAN DESIGN-FALL 2011EVOLO COMPETITIONTEAM MEMBER: ELLERT HREINSSON

In lieu of constructing dykes to keep the water out, wepropose to mitigate flooding in Lower Manhattan byletting the water in through soft riparian edges,resuming New Yorks colonial era shoreline. Thecurrent shoreline will be demarcated with new urbanhydrology infrastructural systems: reservoir islands,hydroelectric water falls, and an aerial tram replacingthe circumference highway. Attracting Manhattans citizenry to its soft waterfrontwith recreational uses highlights these clustersof a hydroelectric waterfall, islands reservoirs,and aerial transportation, raising awareness of the value of water for life support with societal vigilance. This system is a prototype that can be adapted to other cities.

THE CULTURAL CONNECTION HUB The new Gateway to the city

REWEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC IN REYKJAVIK, ICELAND

RECREATIONAL NETWORK pedestrian routes and spaces

REVITALIZE PUBLIC SPACE

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION hydrogen busses, bicycle routes and rents, trails

Every culture, every country, wants to have a sense of pride, a sense of belonging and every climate within that culture wants exceptions, when it is cool you want it be warmer and vice versa. Reweaving the urban fabric of Reykjavik transforms the urban gathering experience with geothermal energy and light by forming a social gathering place within the heart of Reykjavik that embraces its local culture and climate, by creating diverse and different types of microclimates.

The inspiration for the project comes from the icelandic traditional turfhouse were people used to gather in the hearth of the house surrounding the fireplace to keep warm. The fireplace becomes a symbol of light, warmth, belongingness and companionship.
