Facade Architecitre for LOUIS VUITTON, Paris, France
Supervised by Clino T. Castelli, Milan, Italy Topiade is a lay-over facade structure designed to enable a renewal of an existing retail store building without major reconstructions. The concept of Topiade was created by identifying central attributes of the famous French fashion brand, Louis Vuitton : luxury, French, and craftsmanship. The designs that we produced were of this nature and could be thought of as conduits to the outside and the inside. Simply the goal was to create a LV building “alive” and to make it so that people are able to experience this “aliveness” each day that they own and use a LV product. A comprehensive research was carried out on the design, brand perception, brand identity, global marketing & sales, plus competitor strategy before the generation of the concept which suggest a slight shift in the current art direction of Louis Vuitton. 4 independent concepts with a total of 12 permutations of these concepts was investigated. Each of these designs addressed the needs of expanding the idea of LV facade design, the use of topiary art as well as pushing further with the idea of modular facade systems applicable to Louis Vuitton. Topiade brings to the facade of a building a vertical version of the luxurious and traditional french garden that redefine Louis Vuitton's virtue. Several variants are proposed within the concept. Real topiary blocks are arranged on the facade, behind them is a net of water / nutrient feeding system. every so often, a real gardner is to be dispatched and maintain the topiary plants while creating an interesting scene around the building.

Interactive architecture & system design for CINE CITTA, Rome, Itlay Simply: a nationwide, internet connected system of games that can be played on cell phones, kiosks, and fully interactive public devices. A user dials a number for the cine citta system on the side of a kiosk. and answers trivia questions for points. A user can address or call a movie wall, images projected on the side of a building in real-time to answer movie questions for points. The “match sticks” game allow users to transfer famous movie images between rotating sticks to gather points transferred to their cell phones. Technically plausible and easy to maintain the devices are best for major city centers and shopping areas. The final portion of the cinecitta project was that of “the pivot point”, a self contained transportable location where people come to redeem points for the games that they have won throughout Italy. Dial the number of the pivot point where you are standing, select how much you want to transfer, and then once confirmed by the pivot point employee, a user can get merchandise, food, etc. The pivot point can also project images onto buildings and nearby walls or onto itself as a movable movie / media projection system.
