Outside of architecture I’m very much into cycling…. so much so that in under 100days I will set off to cycle 18000miles (29000km) around the world to break the world record. For 5months I will be cycling 135miles (216km) per day, every day.

I’m trying to get more people to join my Twitter and Facebook pages so that companies will back my world record attempt.

PLEASE HELP!

The Frame House, by Omar Ghazal : socks-studio

“The Frame House is a reimagining of the Scouts’ contribution to the Festival of Britain. In celebrating of the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain, The Frame House proposes the reconstruction of a temporary park to demonstrate the ideals and benefits of Scouting to the nation. The Frame House thus sets out to provide a contemporary demonstration of the central principles of scouting in structures that allegorically engage with this historical event at the same time as presenting a vision of how architecture for children can realise the Scouts’ ideals.”

About Filipa Valente

Architect, Experience & Environmental Interaction Designer

I am currently based in Los Angeles, California, after having completed a Masters in Design Research on Media Art and Architecture (MediaSCAPES) at SciArc (Southern California Institute of Architecture).

I am a practicing Architect and graduated from the Graduate Diploma and BSc in Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London UK. Through work experience and since my graduation in 2008 I have had the opportunity to work for different architectural practices around the world and also have been able to pursue some of my own personal work and frequent collaborations. During the past years I have held positions at Zaha Hadid Architects, Amanda Levete Architects and Wilkinson Eyre Architects in London.

As an Architect, my work is strongly rooted in the field of architecture, but I am extremely interested in combining this field with a strong passion for experience design, environmental interaction and media art. My current research explores relationships between generative and virtual space design, our bodies and the creation of interactive environments to enrich the experience of space.

‘The Church of Perpetual Experimentation’ - Adam Nathaniel Furman

This is some of the great work produced by Adam in his final year at the AA. 

A design for a new church in one of the suburbs of Rome, set within the factious context of a new pontificate that is devoted to the restructuring and expansion of the church, its liturgies and its architecture. The site is set aside by the new pope as a field of experimentation, where the doctrinal and liturgical innovations being developed over the Tiber in the Vatican are immediately put to test and trial with the practicing — and non-practicing — public. All development in the work is structured around the theme of Assemblage, so that all scales, from structural unit, through to the composition of those units into spaces, and then the arrangement of those spaces themselves, are governed by a logic of assemblage, aggregation, and eventually in time, recombination.

Highlines of New York; Chelsea School of Aerial Arts by Adam Shapland via The Funambulist

The project seeks to explore an architecture that is responsive to the analytical exploration of narratives formulated through extractions of dynamic characteristics in an individual. The tightrope engages with a conventionally hidden or unseen landscape of the City, temporarily removing the user and viewer from spectacles of the ‘everyday’ and entering them into territories of fragile existence. The scheme exists as an academy for tightrope walkers and aerial artists with the intension to address the notion that architecture should be activated and defined by the events that happen within, around and on it.

SOUTHWARK FARMHOUSE MASTERPLAN

New public toilets will be installed all around the borough to generate energy from the biodigesters. The most popular toilets will then cause new farmhouses to grow as communities begin to grow around the biodigesters. 

A new congestion zone will be implemented around the Southwark borough where no petrol producing cars will be allowed through the gates, The congestion zone will be managed by green policemen who will be housed in small elevated police stations dotted around the borough. 

London boroughs now have the duty, under section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act, to have regard for biodiversity. Currently parks and open spaces account for 12% of Southwark’s overall land use with 32 parks, this project will seek to increase this to at least 90% leaving only the transport roads free. New planning laws will be implemented in the borough where all new roofs, balconies and walls will need to be used to grow a certain quantity of vegetables or provide  garden space.
