Finalists for Inspiration Plaza Artwork Finalist: Bubble Clouds Mirek Struzik Page 1 of 96 BUBBLE CLOUDS The sculpture presents a fictional, man-made species of tree. Bubble Clouds is characterized by a crown made up of large oxygen bubbles that, after the ripening period, detach from the trunk and dissolve in the atmosphere. The second characteristic feature of this tree is the night illumination in all RGB colors, which makes the crown look like a multi-colored cloud. Viewers have the option of programming the color palette of the illumination, so they can instantly experience their influence on the trees and at the same time be the subject to the inspiration based on its reactions. In an abstract way, the sculpture highlights the two most common human expectations of the plant world: oxygen production and decoration. Other aspects of the life of Bubble Clouds are left to the reflection and interpretation by the viewer. The sculpture is an expression of the tension between biological sciences, art, and technology. This relationship on the one hand is the path to abstraction, on the other hand it is the inevitable return to nature. The sculpture reminds us of our need to breathe and look, and encourages doing it consciously. Material: acid resistant stainless steel Page 2 of 96 Page 3 of 96 Page 4 of 96 Page 5 of 96 LETTER OF INTEREST For this project I would like to propose my new concept – “Bubble Clouds”. The sculpture would emphasize the importance of nature and oxygen production. I am an artist with interest in public art. I have previously completed successful projects in the public realm, ranging from public parks, to shopping centers. Most of my sculptures are made from acid resistant stainless steel, I illuminate the sculptures with RGB LED lamps because the illumination is very important for the reception from the viewers. I am especially fascinated by the floral patterns, such as constructions of flowers and plants. I treat a sculpture as a composition of space. I am interested in place-making artworks that share values with sound urban design. In past projects, I have successfully collaborated with managers and general constructors of large buildings, consulting professionals and several fabricators. Some projects I have done include coordinating with civic professionals on the municipal level. My artworks are engaging pieces that carefully fit, without necessarily seeming so, into their spaces by using a creative logic. As an artist I have successful track record of urban-sited and integrated public artworks in multiple cities with municipal and private clients. The body of works includes public art projects around the world public, art plans for municipalities, and public urban installations. My projects have been completed in Seoul, Dubai, Chicago, Istanbul. In my work experience there are several noteworthy public art projects, among others: Realization of Bubble Forest, Nice, CAP 3000, Saint Laurent du Var • Realization of „Dandelions” near Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE; • Realization of „Dandelions” for Zorlu Center, Istanbul, Turkey; • Sculpture “Adam & Eve” for Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park, Chicago, USA; • Cycle of artworks for Municipal Botanic Garden of Wroclaw University, Poland; • Sculpture commissioned by Centrostal Wroclaw and located in front of the company’s head office, Wroclaw, Poland; • 8 realizations – for Spanish Shopping Centers - Factory Wroclaw and Lubon, Krakow, Poland.

Page 10 of 96 Page 11 of 96 Page 12 of 96 Page 13 of 96 Page 14 of 96 Finalist: Unfolding Crown James Dinh Page 15 of 96 NARRATIVE: UNFOLDING CROWN The proposed design for Inspiration Plaza was inspired by origami paper folding and the image of a crown. The sculpture not only recalls the image of a regal crown, but also evokes an uplifting and inspiring sense of striving for a higher good. In addition to being symbolic, the artwork creates an inhabitable space that invites imaginative interaction, reflection, and togetherness. The artwork offers a community space that people of all ages can discover. The sculpture’s center is open to sky, allowing sunlight to pour in. Reminiscent of leaves or wings, each panel helps to support the adjacent panels. As the panels rise to a narrow point, they “unfold” outwards to create a crown.

Supplementary Notes 16. Abstract There is a lot of global experience with fixed fire fighting systems in road tunnels, particularly in Australia and Japan, but also in several recently constructed tunnels in the United States and Europe. The U.S. first implemented FFFS in their tunnels in the 1950s, however, this approach did not become routine, partly due to unsuccessful tests of FFFS in the Offneg Tunnel in Europe. Because FFFS were not routinely applied in all tunnels, the present-day approach can vary between planned facilities and regions, especially in critical design areas such as operational integration with the emergency ventilation system (EVS).

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript
